Makes very good espresso, excellent frother:
I purchased this unit after getting disappointing results with a Cuisinart model. I didn't research it much; it was on the shelf at my local retailer so I gave it a try. I really didn't have very high hopes, because the Delonghi is a little "plasticky" compared to the Cuisinart, and because I typically don't trust devices that are fully automatic. Well, I was VERY pleasantly surprised with this model and I have been using it 2-3 times per day for about a month. Here's a quick rundown on how the... more info
Great Machine, sorry I did not get before:
We have had a DeLonghi for about a year (slightly different model, but same internals) and not a single hitch. It just ploughs on and on and we make lots of excellent coffee cups each day.

I got this for my wife and it is the first small appliance we use all the time. Highly recommended.
Eleven Year High:
The last time I made a cup of coffee for myself (American style) in any kind of a machine was in 1997. Since then I've used nothing but press-pots. Last week my friend gave me the DeLonghi ESAM3300 as a gift. Finally! Someone has come up with a machine that can make a cup of coffee as good, and sometimes better than a press-pot. Although the mouthfeel is less "bold" than coffee from a press-pot (it's a coloid thing), I think the clarity of flavors more than make up for it. You can taste everything... more info
