I got the de’longhi coffee maker to replace my old coffeemaker. I am so impressed by this coffeemaker.it does so much and machine tells you what machine it  needs. It makes single cups of coffee and you have a choice of what kind. You can make espresso, regular coffee or cold coffee. It grinds the beans for you so you have a fresh cup of coffee or you can use ground coffee. The coffee is so good. It is definitely a coffee maker for the future with all the lights to tell you add coffee, empty coffee, add water. It is a fun machine to use.
