We have been so happy with our new De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Espresso machine. We mainly use it for espresso drinks and not for the plain coffee feature. I love that you can just toss the beans in there and it will grind them, or you also have the option to use your own grounds. It did take us a a few tries to figure it out as I will say the instructions in the manual were not ways clear. Some things were in French even in the English side, and some things were only done with pictures. So it took time to figure out how to use the steam feature in particular. The machine can also be a bit loud, so difficult to use if you have sleeping people in your house. It produces some delicious espresso.
