Had one of these machines and it was a good little unit for the odd expresso, but it always never made a " hot " cup of coffee, even expresso size. It got old ( 12 mths ) and the coffee got colder, so we bought another, same brand, same model, from same on line outlet. Second unit tasted awful and after trying to clean and de scale the unit never even got a cup of coffee from it that I could drink. Supplier didn't want to know of the issue. So in my experience quality of product varies too much. For decent hot coffee's this didn't work for me, for a quick expresso first unit was o.k, second unit a waste of my money.

We decided to invest in an affordable coffee machine and DeLonghi's Icona Pump Expresso machine sounded like a great option. The colour and design fits well into the kitchen and it's very simple to use. However, the only complaint is that the milk frother doesn't do a decent job. The milk doesn't come out as frothy and smooth as the ones from other machines which is quite dissapointing. The overall coffee doesn't taste terrible but not the best.

It's easy to clean, doesn't take long.

Designed similarly to our last Delonghi, this one has a new look, whilst giving the option of using ESE pods. It really is a no fuss, easy to use & easy to clean machine, allowing non fussy coffee drinkers the opportunity to make their own coffee. For $170 from Costco, I couldn't resist.

Plastic wand constantly blows while steaming the milk. Danger of steam burns on the face. I have burnt myself a few times.

Decides it hasn't heated up enough half was through extracting a coffee.

Tamp is fixed to machine - which means it's difficult to get necessary pressure

All of this for a very average tasting coffee.

Okay machine but one month out of warranty and it no longer works. This is expensive for a short lived product. No details found of how to service the product and now looking at the warranty sheet it was only covered for 6 months. I would not have paid $199 for a machine that only lasted 2 years let alone 6 months.

I bought this and a grinder as a gift at Christmas. Assessing grinder is a problem - Although I paid for the grinder, I never received it and Delonghi refuses to respond to my requests for assistance.

The machine works ok, although like other models, the holder doesn't dry out properly and quickly. Not as good a machine as the Breville range.

I would not buy this machine purely because once it is out of warranty period things start to go wrong. Water is now leaking from the machine from the base and the ring above the pull. Do not spend money on this brand. Machine worked okay at first but if you can spend a little more perhaps buy a breville as there seems to be many negative reviews about this same issue.

This coffee machine works well, not too complicated to set it up. I have been using for 2 years, it is still working well except sometimes it leaks coffee from the handle. I bought it at a good price and would say it is value for money for the quality

I used this machine for two years just after the warranty it broke down ! and now I have to pay for $45 to get checked and will cost extra for me to repair! And now I am looking into buying a new coffee machine because I want some thing that can last more than two years! not happy Delonghi!

I made the right decision bought this stylish home barista coffee machine! not only qualified for making a quality cuppa a la cafe, but also great for practising latte art at home Since the milk steamer works excellent to make a perfect froth! ❤️Affordable ( I was luckier i had it with a massive bargain from Myer!), light weight, Easy to use, easy to clean. It's a Good buy for your basic home espresso and cappuccino maker.

We are on our 2nd machine after 18 months we had to send our first one off to a repairer who kept it for 4 months, after several complaints to DeLonghi they got in touch with the service mob and decided to give us a new machine and now the 2nd machine has has just leaked hot water all over the bench I would say it's terminal I would say they have a life span of six to 8 months we bought a DeLonghi espresso thinking they were at trusted brand how wrong was I, by the way when working it did make a good coffee . :(

I used this coffee machine on weekends only over a 1.5 month period, and it's already lost water pressure. I'm now on hold with Myer (After the 20 minutes on hold, I will admit that the customer service rep was super nice and helpful) trying to sort a warranty return. When it worked (ah, those glorious 5 weeks! How I miss them) it was actually a solid little unit, good water pressure, did what I asked it to, but it's pretty ridiculous that it died so quickly.

Very easy to use, easy to clean, as an advice to make this machine works better you should get the coffee beans and ground it yourself pre-ground coffee ruins the machine performance to get the perfect espresso, the froth works perfect so moccachinos, cappuchinos, lattes, macchiatos, mochas, hot chocolate and the flat white are awesome very pleased with the machine.

I hate mine I started using mine had it replaced in the first 6 months as the spout had a crack in it. Now 18 months later the spout is leaking water filling up the tray at least 3 times before I get 1 cup of coffee to this I burn my hand every time. The coffee is just barely dripping out from the coffee part. I HATE IT. Never again will I buy a delonghi.

I have had 2 of these machines. Both lasted just over 12 months. Outside warranty of course. Both started leaking & spurting water from around the outlet.
Amazing coffe in the beginning however. But I'll be replacing it with something that will last longer next time. This is not a cheap machine for 1 coffee a day to only last a little over 12 months.

Great crema. Great taste.
The frothing stem blasts off on occasion, even when it's been given a good shove before use. Exciting, but a shade frustrating.
Very easy to use, very easy to clean.
Sadly it has now disintegrated after about 4 years. Can't turn off the water/steam stem and it has taken to leaking through the coffee filter.

The finish is fabulous. I made a wood block to put under the milk jug so I could other tasks while the milk steams up to temp. Right on about a standard cup not fitting under coffee spout. I fixed that be removing the chrome draining rack permanently and have had no problems since. After couple of months steam spout had steam pouring out of its top and milk wouldn't heat. Email delonghi and they immediately went me an envelope of O rings. Easy to install, fixed the problem and I have had a lot of trouble free wonderful Lattes since. 100s of them. It's a beauty!

The machine makes good coffee but after few months it drips water from the spout and you have to put a cup under it. Took it back to Argos thinking it was faulty and the second one done exactly the same. Waste of money as Delonghi pass you onto a repairer that you have to pay customer service about as good as the machine.
