I have other De’Longhi products, so I knew this espresso machine would be high quality.  You can tell by how well it’s made that De’Longhi took the time to think of everything.  It is so sleek and looks great in my kitchen.  I am a coffee snob and am very picky.  This allows me to make a perfect cup.  I love that I can get fresh beans and this grinds them for me.  It definitely makes the process easier.  You can definitely tell that you have fresh coffee when the beans are ground right before making.  I love that I can create my own specialty coffees and espressos.  The milk frother is very convenient and adds that extra touch to the perfect cup.  The app comes in handy and I can make a cup without having to be right at the machine.  This is the perfect espresso machine for everyone.  It’s very easy to use and proves that you can have “coffee house” espresso at home without spending tons of money.
