No more trips to the over-priced coffee shop! Lattes are my favorite afternoon pick-me-up and the first drink I made in the De’Longhi Espresso Machine. It came out perfect the first try and I’ve made several more since. 

The machine is smaller than I anticipated, which is great because it doesn’t take up much counter space. It is similar in size to an average coffee maker. 

The water dispenser and bottom tray both lift out for easy cleaning. The only issue I had was popping the filter into the filter holder. It takes a bit of force and initially I was afraid I was going to break it or pinch my fingers while pressing it in. It eventually snaps into place and then comes apart easily to rinse out afterward.

I’m anxious to try some of the other recipes, but so far, lattes and Americanos have been excellent using fresh beans ground very fine.
