De'Longhi Linea Classic Espresso Machine

La amo! No hace ruido, y prepara un gran café. En el porta tazas caben 4 tacitas para espresso

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 one is not very efficient. If done properly the result is a perfect shot every time, with at least 1/2 inch of crema 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!

Excellent et beau. Facile à installer et démarrer. Café rapide et délicieux. Très bon achat.

Para una primer maquina de espresso, es ideal, buena calidad, resistente, esteticamente atractiva, no tan cara y una muy buena marca. De'Longhi es apuesta segura, es mi tercera maquina de esta marca y nunca me han dado ningun problema.

I have had this machine for almost a year now and I LOVE IT! it's so good. at first I was intimidated by it but then after, it's super easy and you go into the espresso rabbit hole. it's just amazing, great pressure and paired with a grinder. works wonders ;)
