What's great about it: Coffee sides works fine
What's not so great: Frother takes forever to warm up; stupid instructions
My previous combi coffee-espresso machine was a DeLonghi, and served me well for many years; so I felt comfortable sticking with the brand. But I wonder now whether all these glowing 5-star reviews are real.
Purchase experience went fine, unit arrived when expected and looks good. My first annoyance came right after that - the instructions contain illustrations, and the references to them in text don't match up correctly. Sloppy, and makes for a confusing introduction to the machine.
Coffee maker side works fine, coffee tastes good.
On the espresso side, however, things are a good deal less fun. For starters, if you're going to use the frother for a latte, you need to let the whole machine warm up for *at least thirty minutes*! That may be fine in a commercial application where it'll then be in use all day; but it's a pain when you want one cup. Then, when you put a cup under the espresso nozzles and turn the machine to making espresso, the unit vibrates so much that the cup starts to wander and will fall off the unit and spill if you don't stand there holding it.
Once you get past all that nonsense, the espresso is good, nice crema; and the frother works well after that half-hour wait and is fairly easy to keep clean.
Overall, I wish my older machine still worked.

What's great about it: espresso maker works greaat.
What's not so great: Have not found anything that I do not like.
I also did not know that best buy did coffee machines but decided to look. My aunt and I wanted a combination espresso/coffee maker. I had done some looking on the internet and had read that they were really no good. I almost gave up and just bought an espresso machine and then I found this one. It had a great review only one but I went with it. Shipping was very fast. When I took it out of the box I thought that it was going to be complicated. I set up the machine. The coffee side was the easiest. The espresso I had a little trouble with at first. But low and behold read the instruction and you can make a great espresso or cappuccino. I love the espresso's they are creamy goodness. The machine after you read the instructions is very easy to use. The frother works great. That was a big thing that I Looked for because I love to steam the milk. It is a little on the noisy side, but hey it works like a charm. I have yet to try the coffee pot to see how it turns out but as soon as I do I will be back to tell you how it works and taste!!!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: First at home frother that really froths spectacularly!
What's not so great: Heavy but hey, that makes it more durable don't you think?
For the money even with shipping, it was a steal. Same exact product/model at Macy's for twice the price - on sale. This product was a gift for my husband, a Starbucks lover and whose other coffee maker broke after many years of faithful service. With the expresso and cappucino features he may never go back to Starbucks. It's a joy to smell that aroma when you're first getting up because you programmed it to start. It's easy to clean and easy to learn how to use the special features. Plus we just love the quality in the DeLonghi products we've purchased. I shopped around and Best Buy had the best price on this product which actually surprised me. i would not have looked at Best Buy for a coffee maker had I not done an internet price compare first.
I would recommend this to a friend!
