I really like de’longhi Ang have purchased many product from them, but this was not one of my favorite.  First, the maker is very large, taking up a lot of space on my kitchen counter.  The coffee grinder get messy, with the inside of the coffee maker getting full of the ground.  The coffee it produces is good, but there are grounds at the bottom of the cup and there is a bit of bean oil at the surface of the freshly brewed cup.  The installation seems a bit complicated, but once it is setup seems to work well.
