Coffee grinder lasted 6 cups then made terrible noise and stopped, never to grind again. Difficult to see cups under dispenser and no water gauge until red warning light flashes. Returned to The Good Guys no questions asked, replaced with Sunbeam.

Purchased this machine July,19- Paid $949-previously had two Breville coffee makers and thought would like a change-disappointed. Had it replaced shortly after purchase as it leaked water from the tank. Have spoken to a representative of the Company as I am finding it difficult to get the right amount of coffee in the filter holder. If I turn the ground coffee quantity dial down to absolute minimum it still spews out too much coffee. Also to get the right milk temperature when frothing it is necessary to turn the speed dial twice. For $949 I am disappointed with the unit-especially when it was strongly recommended by the sales person.

Had the delonghi la specialista for around 3 weeks now and it has leaked water from the tank all over my bench top 4 times now not happy with the machine for this reason and especially what you pay for it, was expecting a lot better from delonghi

Coffee good but after less than 3 weeks from purchasing water is leaking out and emptying the water tank all over my bench top. Help needed, what can I do?

My wife has not stopped thanking me enough since I bought this she loves it it says me or Fortune in her by and coffees from the local milk bar or the cafes the taste is much better than what I've bought in the shop and the beautiful thing about it is you're doing it home making it yourself

Machine was purchased just on 2 months ago
Just starting leaking water leaks from the tank in the back into front spill tray to the point it over flows spills out all over the bench another thing we noticed is the guage on the front for temp doesnt work
Does the machine make good coffee truthfully yes when its not flooding the kitchen bench if the temp guage on the front is only there for aesthetics and not actual functionality leave it out
As paying what we payed theres an expectation
Also delonghi the store which we bought it from
Binglee just told us theres a possibillty it will go in for repair
Well no the machine we expect replacement down to the age of the machine and its casual use

I purchased the machine on the 31/10/2019. That was 8 days ago and it is leaking into the tray. I would have thought Delonghi would have a better product than this. Not happy with the machine at all.

I have had this machine for a month now and it has just started leaking from the drip tray. The machine does make a nice coffee once you dial it in. However the problem of it randomly deciding to leak all over the bench is unacceptable for a 800 dollar machine. Buyer beware!

This machine has been working perfectly but started to have problems after we made a complaint received a new one. I'm happy with the product so far, and customer service was responsive which made the process easy and pleasant.

This machine has been working perfectly today it is only been use minimally and now continues to leak water after checking the valve the watertank and cleaning the machine but still continues to leak water

Well we are still trying to work out just how to use it as we only like half strength. The coffee that we have had has certainly been hot enough and it looks so good sitting on the kitchen bench

These leaking issues may need to be addressed. This is unfortunate - I was excited to purchase this due to the ease of use. However these reviews have since stopped that purchase. Unfortunate. This isn't a one-off issue. This is a major issue affecting many people apparently.

Purchased a La Specialista machine in March and the pump went within the first 3 months - same problem as Paul Z had with water leaking in to drip tray when machine off. Took the machine to the service centre as instructed by Delonghi and it took 4 weeks to get fixed. Got it back and used it a few times then in August it had a different problem. I have again taken it back to the service centre and have no idea how long it will take this time. Not worth $875.00 and would not recommend.

Bought the Delonghi La Specialista today. Made 2 coffees to test it, went to make the third coffee and the machines light is just flashing advising to fill the water tank. The tank is full and installed correctly. We have tried to re-set and clean, but unable to do anything as the same warning keeps flashing. This is highly unacceptable for a $800 coffee machine that hasn’t even lasted a day! Should of stuck with Breville

The machine was easy to set up and there is just the right amount of variables to tweak to improve your coffee. Chances are that if you aren’t a coffee professional, coffee you make with that machine will be substantially better than with a professional, 10k$ setup.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make great coffee at home without worrying about technique.
