This Espresso machine is great for people who love good espresso but can't afford fancy machines. In fact, I think I like this machine better than the fancy machine my mom has. It's super easy to use and quick- I make a latte every morning before work. And in fact you CAN froth milk with the wand- it takes a little finagling but the trick is to rotate the mug around the wand. It may take a couple of tries to get a routine down but by the third time you'll get the hang of it. And may I suggest- if you're making lattes, make only one at a time to get good foam. Enjoy!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews of this product. Perhaps the reviewers ended up with the occasional lemons. I've purchased two of these...one I bought for myself, and the other as a gift, and they've worked beautifully. The milk steamer is very effective (but as noted, the wand is a bit short, which would be my only complaint). It would be nice to have a separate bypass switch between brewing and steaming modes, but the lack of one is common in machines in this price range. Overall I'm very happy with mine and have had no problems at all. At the current price, I'd highly recommend purchasing one. If you want more features and better construction, then spend another $100 or more for a steam pump model, but for fast and easy coffee drinks from a functional, affordable machine, this is hard to beat.
January 2010 update: It's been over four years since purchasing two of these coffee makers, and both are still going strong. The one I purchased for myself is used almost daily, and still works perfectly.

I am far from a connoisseur of coffee, but I really like this machine. Unlike the Krupps that is similar priced (FND111 Allegro), it is make much more sturdy. I played with both in a feature to feature comparison and the DeLonghi is MUCH better made.
Best : Quality, quick espresso. Easy to clean, easy to use. Very attractive in the kitchen. Pretty darn quick. Great price for the quality.
OK : Frother is very short, so you need a short, stout cup to froth with. It is good for Cappuccino, but not really powerful enough for steaming a Latte's worth of milk. To get some extra steam, run it through an extra cycle just for steam.
Bad : Not really any for the price.
Overall, I am very, very pleased. I got it for only $39.99 here on Amazon and I think that is one heck of a good deal.

I should have paid attention to the other bad reviews! I think that the people that left 5 stars must have gotten a different machine than me. Read more

Nice as a back-up, not for longterm use
I really wanted to like this machine, but it was really hit or miss when it came to brewing. Many times that water just didn't come out I had to turn it off, wait, then turn it... Read more

4-cup espresso maker
Was not really happy with this product. The steamer does not work, it is very small and not really user friendly.

Decent espresso...will break in 5 months and they won't honor warranty
I bought this espresso maker last September and at first I was pretty happy with it. It made decent espresso and unlike most reviewers, I didn't have trouble making foam. Read more

Good value for the money!
For the price, this is a good espresso maker. The milk frother, however, isn't as good as claimed. Still, I am quite happy; it serves my purpose, better than spending around... Read more
