The DeLonghi Espresso Maker has a patented dual-function filter holder for use with ground espresso, this unique filter mixes air into the brewing process to produce a perfect crema. Distinguished by it's caramel color, the crema is the essence of authentic espresso. The filter also accommodates E.S.E pods. This great Espresso machine offers a swivel jet frother that makes cappucccino, latte or any other frothy milk beverage with ease. The 35 ounce (1Liter) removable water tank can now be filled right at the sink. Plus cleaning the tank has never been easier. The removable drip tray also lends itself to easy, hassle-free, clean up. Many other feature set this Espresso machine above the rest, its self priming operation, stainless steel boiler made of durable, high quality stainless steel, two separate thermostats so water and steam pressure are controlled separately. The adjustable steam emission for making the perfect cappuccino and the ON/OFF switch with indicator light that allows for easy operation.

There is not a day I regret this purchase... neither does my family! It's just wonderful to appreciate real coffees for this price. The only thing I'm a bit afraid is the steam outline that seems a bit fragile and it's also kind of short to use with any recipient. But i's defintely worth the investment!

The EC155 makes either one or two shots of decent tasting espresso. The taste is a bit thinner than from a coffee shop barista but definitely richer than most pod or capsule type makers. Lots of crema, maybe too much depending on grind and packing. As with most makers that use ground espresso the grind and packing are important (although this maker seems less sensitive than some I have had). I've had the best luck with a grind that feels like table sugar, not powder. A good metal tamper is best for packing; don't over-fill, rock slightly on the four compass points, then a half-turn with firm pressure seemed to work well. The plastic tamper on the device really doesn't help, mostly because the unit is light weight and a bit hard to hold. In fact, this is the biggest negative I have found, it can be hard to hold the unit to put on the filter holder. But if you underfill the filters it helps. I've only used the unit for a month or so but I haven't noticed any reduction in flow through the filters due to clogging; but I only used a fine grind one time then backed off to a slightly more coarse grind.

Works. Don't really use the steamer since easier just to microwave the milk; however, it's worked to spec and relatively easy to work.

I have owned this espresso maker for a few months now and have not been disappointed once! I come from Italian traditions and could not live any longer in the US making coffee with a Bialetti Moka Espresso Maker... This DeLonghi espresso maker is ideal if...
... you don't prepare more than a handful of espressos at a time,
... you want to keep you budget low (I bought it discounted to 70$, but I see that the price fluctuates...In any case: great price/quality ratio),
... you don't mind to "get around the bottom" to make fit larger cups (i.e. take the metal bottom away to gain extra space) ,
... you don't mind holding the machine while inserting the "coffee holder" (the coffee maker is light so if you don't hold it it is going to move),
... you like a nice foam on top of your coffee,
... you don't have a lot of space for a coffee maker,
... what else? The list could probably be longer, but I hope this is enough. Definitely highly recommended!
PS: I did not prepare any cappuccino yet, check other reviews if you are interested to know about this.

Bought this for my husband, who loves it. Compact (important in a galley kitchen!), very easy to use and clean, and he says it makes better espresso than he's had at restaurants. Can't speak to steam function as he doesn't use it but overall a wonderful buy for the money. Agree with those who recommend a tamper - the Terry Tamper matched with this unit works fine and the Bodum Pavia cups also suggested by Amazon are great!! Cups stay totally unheated while retaining temperature of the espresso.
