Purchased this machine less than a month ago and am nothing but happy with it. The coffee that it makes rivals even professional barista made coffees. The only tricky part is getting used to the different settings and programming your favourite brew. The Temperature of the coffee made is also great and hot enough.

Love, Love, Love this machine. We don't drink milk based coffee so the espresso has to be perfect. This machine produces a coffee just like you would buy from a cafe. It took some time to get the right grind but it works like a dream now. We needed to play around with lots of different blends and have finally found one from a local cafe.
The machine is very simple to use, and very easy to clean.
And it looks very stylish on the bench.
Couldn't be happier.

Great machine, had it 8 months, easy to use, easy to clean. Has temperature and grind adjustment. Makes very good froth. Like any machine the coffee is great when you get the beans and the settings to suit your taste. My visitors comment on how good the coffee is. Highly recommended glad I spent the money.

Purchased this machine 4 months ago to replace pod machine (Pods = Landfill) Could not be happier. Those that say the coffee is not hot enough should read the manual and be patient.The instruction book and accompanying DVD make the learning process easy. Cannot fault easy to clean and descale. Easy to fill, easy to empty grounds and great coffee. We are using locally roasted beans.

We bought this coffee machine a few months ago. It is very easy to use. Has a good size water container, which is accessible from the front. Coffee is hot enough. I especially love a latte in the morning. The machine makes a good froth. We always buy good coffee beans and the coffee tastes excellent.

Its only been just under two years now since I purchased my Eletta, It was great for over one year. them it started needing a De scale every two or three weeks, The Creamer is on its last legs won't froth now just makes warm milk so the machine wont make a cappuccino anymore automatically and that's what we got it for.This is not a cheep machine. It never made hot coffee apart from Cappuccino's just luke warm coffee shots. going to shot it out and purchase a manual machine of a different brand. Just wouldn't recommend it.

Are you happy with the taste of your coffee?
- Very happy with the taste
Is it easy to use?
- I read the manual so found it easy
How easy is it to clean?
- Mostly easy to clean - the tray has a few areas that need a smaller brush, otherwise okay

I had a different make of coffee machine for 11 years and was looking for something similar.
The De longhi is better than the similar I was looking for.
The instruction booklet is easy to follow and you have the choice of auto or manual milk frothing, plus many other options.
Adjustable grind for me was just perfect. Excellent temperature.
Only takes a few minutes to clean and refill and not cumbersome.
Auto on is great in the mornings, then you can Auto off if needs be.

Purchased this machine a week ago:

1. I got white really lovely
2. Nice looking machine all the bells and whistles
3. the coffee IS NOT HOT it does not even reach 50 degrees in a mug even having the cup heated and rinsing the water through the machine. I may as well drink hot water from the tap it is hotter. Delonghi I would have expected better from an italian made machine and am very disappointed and waiting for Delonghi to get back to me. Considering the $1,990 cost - don't buy it.

Rated only ok because of the poor service and non receipt of a $100 cash rebate promised following purchase. In spite of many contacts and Delonghi saying the rebate is on its way, I'm still waiting after 4 months. David Jones were the seller and they are not interested in helping in spite of there promoting. They ignored my contact.

Upgraded from a manual machine and we are really pleased with coffee quality and the ease of use. And no more mess! Once you spend the time customising the setup for your own taste and cup sizes, it really is a simple one button job to make a good coffee. As with pretty much all auto machines, the milk from the auto frother isn't terribly hot, but it's not supposed to be, is it? The variety of coffee types, settings and customisation makes it a good machine for nearly every taste. Auto on is a good feature, the machine is up and ready in the morning waiting to deliver your first hit of the day!
Really like this machine.

Consistant performance, great coffee, very reasonable price. Easy to clean, simple to use. I replaced a Jura with this machine and I am very happy. Takes a while to get the hang of programming, but all in all much better than my previous Saeco and Jura brands. Large coffee hopper and water container does not need constant filling.

Upgraded from Delonghi Magnifica after 7 yrs.Great lines very nicely designed and will suit all kitchen designs and layouts.Roughly same price.If you love your coffee this machine is well worth the price.
Easy to use and clean.Makes great coffee.Use every day.Everyone deserves a little luxury in life.As Molly would say "do yourself a favour".

Just packing our third Delonghi machine and first Eletta, that have ALL for some reason STOPPED making steam at around 2000 cups! NOT happy, with us now having all the inconvenienece of packing and sending for fix or replacement. Thank god for the Harvey Norman extended warranty. I think we'll be going to another brand now!

Expensive machine, delivering cold coffee ( not hot enough) while setting on highest temperature, I used cheaper coffee machines before buying that one with better coffee taste, and hot enough with better taste.

Makes good coffee, especially the milk based one (latte's, capaccinos etc). The milk carafe is particularly well thought out, easy to use and keep clean.

It's pretty quiet, easy to clean and seems well made.

The only negatives are that it is a little bulky, and the coffee it produces is good, but not great. I've had cheaper machines that make better coffee (particularly the Sunbeam EM9600).

And this machine is quite expensive by comparison - triple what my old Saeco and Sunbeam cost. But those previous machines also didn't last, so we shall see whether this has been money well spent.

Love the machine quick and easy to use saves time so I can sleep longer in the morning and it is self clean I use the delonghi coffee beans which the coffee tastes and smells great like a good coffee should always taste I have to say money well spent.

Purchased from Harvey Norman in white. Took us a bit to get the hang of it but we are now happily loving our machine. A few minor issues for example the Coffee grounds always needs to be empty even when there is only one cups worth in it. We found that when you heat the cups properly and do a pre rinse the coffee comes out hot where as if you dont its only warm. Produces a good quality coffee!!
