This machine is a more compact version of other Delonghi models. Let me tell you, it can do everything: lattes, espresso, macchiato. There are varying temperatures and you can make latte foam art and even layered coffees. This was pretty easy to it together. I’ve had friends over and they immediately notice this espresso maker. Delonghi is known for being the absolute best in espresso machines. I highly recommend getting this. This would be an amazing wedding gift.
