The De’Longhi came with a great and easy to use manual straight out of the box to help you set up your machine.

I am new to the world of espresso so I caution you that if you are uncertain, feel free to ask around and look up feedback to help guide you.

It is quick and easy to use. Love the versatility that comes with it where you can utilize it to make more than just espresso. You can make cappuccinos, teas, etc.

The easy to use measured spoon and tamper at the other end was quite useful. And all connections seem very sturdy and feel like this will last long.

If you plan on steaming milk, I caution on reading more on how to practice. Took me several times. Not because the machine was faulty, but because of my technique. 

Great product and happy to have it as our newest
