It's a rubbish product. It made about 8 cups of coffee and then refused to make another one. Coffee loaded and nothing came out into the cup so I scooped all the coffee out and put it into my 3 year old $69 Aldi machine and it all worked fine. When it worked the quality was no better than what the Aldi machine made and a far cry from what you get in a coffee shop. It's going back for a refund.

I bought this on amazon. Hate this machine, as I wasted more espresso when the water would not brew and drip and got stuck frequently. Would not matter if I packed the espresso lose or tight had many issues. Also the milk froth leaked water in my milk and watered it down. Waste of money and difficult to operate!!! I’m apparently not a barista or this is defective machine.

If you want a genuinely excellent, attractive espresso maker at a reasonable price but don't have a lot of room for one of the behemoth "standard" machines, the De'Longhi EC680 is exactly what you've been looking for.
This machine requires about the same amount of counter space as a Keurig coffee machine. Technically, it's only 2/3 the width of a typical Keurig, but you want to leave a little room on the right so that the steam wand remains easily accessible.

Machine is very good but availability of ESE pods is very bad. I searched from Canberra today and found that there was no supplier with stock within 200k. Resellers seem to have given up on them. Bad news DeLonghi!. I will just need to find another source of ESE Pods. If you can't get resellers interested in selling them why don't you ask competitive mail order suppliers to add them to their offerings - or improve your own service.

Had this thing serviced a bunch of times because it's perpetually breaking down. Has to go through the de-scaling process all the time which is super annoying. Pretty darn useless in my experience. When it's working, the coffee tastes fine I guess, but I would caution against buying one of these.

So happy with this coffee machine. I’ve had a Nespresso machine before and hated it, too expensive to buy coffee pods and didn’t like any of the coffees or
I wanted a simple machine that made good coffee and allowed me to use organic coffee.
After having tasted coffee made in Italy using one of these machines I was sold! So easy to use, coffee is always hot and I can use organic coffee. We bought the Alicia Latte milk frother and it works like a charm.
Friends who have bought expensive oversized coffee machines can’t believe how much better coffee from our machine is. And it doesn’t take up half the kitchen bench!

We brought this to replace our sunbeam coffee machine and it's 1000 times better! It is compact so takes up no room in my bench. I love that it doesn't use coffee pods (better for the environment) and it heats up really quickly! I have nothing bad to say about this machine. Very happy with my purchase.

Love this machine! You can use pods or ground Coffee in it so it gives you a variety of coffee styles. It also is very quick heating up so makes it easy to make a quick cuppa in the morning before work. I chose the silver to blend in our kitchen, but I would have liked a wider range of colours! Researched this before buying it and were very happy with the purchased!

I purchased this machine as the Distinta has been discontinued.

The dedica is a compact, easy to clean machine.

Crema is lovely and pulls a decent shot.

Love the adjustable temp for coffee shots!

Disappointed that the machine is quite noisy due to the metal parts, but still pulls a great shot.

This machine makes a good coffee and sits next to my coffee grinder taking up very little space on the kitchen bench. All the parts go in the dishwasher ok.
The milk frothier is not the bestie that it is not real creamy and tends to be watery, but it does the job of heating.

I love this product as i bought it for my birthday. It is easy to use and makes delicious shots.
The only thing is i bought mine from the good guys au and it didnt have the right milk frother attachment as seen in the pictures. I wouldnt mind a new bit!

Had this for a couple of years now and it's so annoying to use I've bought another fully automatic one. To start with you need ground beans which means you. Red a grinder then you need to put beans in the group head and tap down which is an art and you spill grounds every where once you've done that hope you did it right because if you haven't it won't screw in then when your all done you need to get rid of all the grounds which is just one messy process before you enjoy the coffee

This thing has been churning out perfect espresso shots everyday for the past 5 months and i love it for this function. However the steam wand is relatively weak and takes a long time to foam up the milk and ive never really managed to achieve that perfect barista-standard glossy foamed texture in the milk. But the machine is great for the price and if you're happy just to be able to have the ability to make a cappuccino at home then this would suffice.

I absolutely love my coffee but spend a fortune on takeouts. I love this little machine which makes a really nice cup. Its easy to use and looks smart on my kitchen counter top. Saving me lots on cafe bought coffees!!! I chose the silver model but comes in a great range of colours red and black

Use this machine 2-3 times a day without any issues and love it. Simple to use and makes great coffee for a bargain of a price in my opinion. Perfect size if you're just after a couple of cups at a time. It did leak a bit when I first got it but it must have settled itself as this is no longer an issue.

Love this little machine!! Upgraded from an Aldi pod machine and haven't looked back! Love the taste of my coffee which comes out with a lovely froth without having to use the milk frothier. I love how compact and easy to use this little machine is. Easy to clean and well worth the extra time it takes to manually make your coffee opposed to using a pod machine and better for the environment!!. We use our coffee grains in the garden!

This is a great coffee machine. The coffee is so creamy and tastes great, it's extremely easy to use. I suggest watching tutorials before setting up this coffee machine so you know what you're doing. Descaling is easy but again watch a tutorial or 2 on how to do it. It's easy once you know exactly what you're doing

June 14th 2017 Update: Beautiful coffees

I have only had mine for 3 weeks and although it had to be returned as it was faulty I still loooove the coffee. It comes out so creamy and the crema is beautiful. It also makes lovely silky milk every time. It's easy to use but I suggest going on YouTube on how to set it up and also of how to descale it as it's a bit weird. I do recommend buying this though

This is a very good machine after a series of Sunbeam coffee machine breakdowns and returns. I discovered that you can get a mug under it by removing the drip tray. It has a small water resevoir but that's OK, it's right next to the sink. It is also fairly quiet and makes a great coffee. The steamer makes great milk froth easily and the nozzle doesn't get milk burned onto it. I just ignore the flashing descale light - it still works perfectly and I'm not spending $29 on descaler beacuse a light says so, I know this is at my own peril ! It did come with a small amount of descaler though.
