I have had the De'Longhi ECP3630 Pump Espresso Machine for a week now and I'm so happy to receive it!  One thing I really like is how compact it is.   It does not take up my counter space and it's made entirely of stainless steel making it very nice looking.   This is the first time I have owned an espresso machine so I researched some how to videos to feel comfortable with using the it to its fullest potential.  I found out that It is so very easy to use once you know what all it can do.   I like the fact that you can use pods or ground coffee in the  machine.  The e.s.e. pods are a little pricey for me so I used freshly ground coffee beans. Every shot I've made has turned out very tasty and with the frother i can make my own cappuccinos and lattes.  This machine makes it so easy to enjoy the luxury of having an espresso whenever you want.  Overall this is a great machine for the price.
