De’Longhi Linea Classic Espresso Machine with Milk Frother, 15-Bar Pump & Temperature Control - Barista Coffee Maker Kit for Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino & Iced Coffee - Italian Stainless Steel Design

I had been eyeing some of the pricier espresso machines, but what kept me from purchasing one was the size of the bigger ones. They didn't fit in my space.I watched many reviews and after many searches, this is the one I settled on. I am so glad to have made the right choice. This machine is a dream! If it broke tomorrow, I'd purchase a new one. Super easy to use, well made, looks beautiful and impressive, has a much larger water tank than other machines I've owned in the past, so you're not constantly filling it up, and it doesn't have extra unnecessary buttons or a fake pressure gauge. Each button has a function.I use soy milk or other plant milks and it works amazingly well. I can feel the milk pitcher heat up in my hand within seconds. The frother has two settings, one for heating milk and when pulled down, for frothing. It makes it easy to control how hot or cold you want your cappuccino or latte to be. Super easy and perfect temperature milk each time. Along with my Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Espresso, I have not had a bad cup of coffee since.I stopped going out for coffee, what I have at home is much better than what I can get at the best coffee shops.It's worth every penny.

This Espresso Machine is a gamechanger for anyone who craves barista-quality coffee without leaving the house. From its sleek stainless-steel design to its intuitive controls (I did read the instructions thoroughly first!), this machine blends style and substance beautifully. It heats up quickly and maintains a stable temperature for consistent results. The - One-touch buttons for single or double shots make brewing effortless, and the Adjustable Steam Wand froths milk to silky perfection—ideal for cappuccinos, lattes, or even espresso martinis (Next on my list to try!).I live in an apartment with limited space, and it fits neatly on any countertop without sacrificing performance.It is beginner friendly! Definitely rivals machines twice the price in terms of taste and build quality.🏆 Final Verdict - If you're looking to elevate your coffee game without diving into complex equipment, this is a stellar choice. It’s reliable, stylish, and delivers delicious espresso with minimal fuss.

Best coffee maker in the market, I can’t be more satisfying with it. It makes incredible coffee. The brew of it makes the difference between other ones. Excellent temperature and the milk comes out very nice for Cappuccino, lattes, etc. very nice shop for the price. I’m enjoying so far my coffee easy to make as well. Also EASY to clean.

As a longtime customer of De Longhi, I have seen tremendous improvement in their machines. I was very happy with my last purchase a couple of years ago but unfortunately my little grandson broke the dial while playing with it, so I bought this new model for a lot more money (don't worry, there are no dials to break). This is by far the best machine for its price on the market, and in fact it is very near to perfection. Read the (admittedly somewhat complicated) instructions carefully and especially don't neglect to remove the red plastic cord on the bottom of the water reservoir. Once you have set it up and primed it properly it is very easy to use, just plug it in and press the button to start and the button for the number of cups you want (I prefer2, with that filter already installed) and it works automatically. Make sure the espresso is filled and tamped properly--invest in a separate tool for punching little holes in the espresso (really helps) and the heavy metal tamper, since the plastic oneis not very efficient. If done properly the result is a perfect shot every time, with at least 1/2 inch ofcrema and no, or nearly no, residue in the cup. I prefer using the Capuccino size glasses rather than small cups, and also because you can add another shot or two to the glass if desired (see instructions). However, the crema lasts longer in an espresso cup, if that is important for you. Some have complained about water leaking but perhaps they did not remove the red cord from the bottom of the water reservoir; anyway, I have found no water leaking after constant use for over two weaks. Also, the pressure dial has no numbers on it because you don't need them, it works automatically, perfectly every time and there is no need to do anything. Just enjoy this lovely gem!

The espresso is fine, but the wand is useless. No matter how you position the thing it just speed massive bubbles. I have gotten better results with a Mr Coffee I bought for much less

Makes amazing espresso, but shot size appears inconsistent. Also can take a long time to cool down and overheats very easily when making multiple coffees and frothing milk

For the $150 I paid for this unit, it delivers an excellent draw of expresso with a thick crema. The pressure gauge on the unit is a nice touch, assuring you are getting the required pressure. The milk frother works well and without fuss. The controls are simple and operating the machine is easy and intuitive. If you are fitting this unit in a tight space, be advised that the unit’s height is a bit taller than advertised, as shown in my photos, coming in at 12.25 inches; i.e., a quarter inch taller than stated in the description. As to build quality, it’s hard to say. It seems well built, but it’s all about the components, and for that, only time will tell. All I can say at this point is that the machine performs well, works and looks as advertised, and seems well built enough for the price paid. I’ll revise this review if build quality disappoints after some reasonable use.
