We love this machine. In a family of two adults and two high schoolers, this machine is in use constantly. Produces superior coffee and is extremely easy to use. We love experimenting with different types of beans and in fact bring beans from our trips to Europe to try in the Delonghi. Will also add that this beauty has saved us quite a bit of money coz we can’t drink what passes for coffee at coffee shops anymore. We all prefer coming home to this machine!
