Looking forward to making an esprsso with my new DeLonghi machine. Opened the box, took everything out and there is no filter holder. Cant enjoy the machine without this critical part.

I am so pleased with this item when making my latte. Great froth and easy fast and dependable

I have used the De'Longhi Espresso Machine for quite some time and I love them. They rarely not work. Super easy to use. this size is really good for the counter. it is half the width of the other machines that have the inbuilt grinder. The middle button should make about 4-5oz of Espresso. But .. read below!!! NOTE: Upon the first use, if you see that the water is NOT coming out more that a few seconds (3-7 sec) even when you have keep the brew button pressed, and the two left buttons flash after water stops, then the machine is stuck in the de-scaling mode at factory and there is no way to reset it. At this point, please exchange it with a replacement. Make sure that you flush the new machine through the seam spout as well as the espresso 1 tank each to prime the machine before first use, as directed in this video:

It took a few practices to figure it out, but we love our espressos and cappuccinos now!

Facile d'utilisation et compacte. Une excellente machine à plus petit prix que certaines autres. Elle fait un café mousseux dont nous ne pourrions plus nous passer. Quoi de plus agréable, en effet, que le goût et l'arôme d'un cappuccino le matin? Seul bémol: le bouton on-off fait parfois des caprices quand on a oublié la machine ouverte. De plus, le joint d'étanchéité pour le porte-filtre doit être remplacé fréquemment à prix pas si petit.

First few brews, coffee tasted burnt. The filter takes a lot of pressure to lock in place.

Je suis étonnament impressionné par cette petite machine. Quand je l'ai recu, j'était vraiment sceptique. Je possédais déja une grosse machine Breville de qualité et je ne pensais pas que ma nouvelle machine aurais été de taille. Et bien, après avoir essayé mon nouveau petit bébé, j'ai décidé de la garder et de vendre mon autre pour m'acheter le moulin qui est de paire. Sérieusement, je ne pouvais vraiment pas demander mieux. Le café est excellent et la machine est vraiment simple a faire fonctionner. Merci mille fois Delonghi et Home tester Club !!

Got it home and tried to lock the Porta filter in place. As many have said you can’t do it. The Porta filter falls out as soon as the water runs and splashes grounds everywhere. Hercules could not hold the machine strong enough to keep it from sliding all over the counter when inserting the Porta filter. Delongi your machines are pretty much useless. My Gran Latissima by Delongi has never worked right Tho I’ve called repeatedly and spent hours and hours on the phone with Nespresso over the last two years even though it was expensive. my other espresso machine by DeLonghi is pretty lame. waste of time I’ve had this Dedica a half hour and I’m taking it back. I hate fighting to get an espresso.
