[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m impressed with how user friendly the De’longhi Classic is. This is a great starter espresso machine, the learning curve is gentle, it is easy to get the hang of that my whole family is able to use it right away even seniors. I didn’t even need to read much of the manual and got started right away after a few cleans. It’s a very simple and straight forward machine with basics. I have been using it daily for multiple cups of craft lattes and cappuccinos. The manual dial controls take all the intimidation out of brewing.
It pulls a great shot of espresso with a nice rich cream on top.
The button lights blinks until it’s heated and the light becomes solid. The steam wand heats up quickly and provides great control, allowing me to get a nice, creamy micro-foam for my milk. It is surprisingly compact on my kitchen counter and the water reservoir is easy to pull out and refill.
It is not too loud for the mornings and the cleanup is super easy. The milk wand can be swiped clean with a damp cloth and just release some of the steam to make sure no milk is left inside. For the espresso grounds I just dump it into the sinks and pop out the tray. The drip tray is easy to clean as well. I also appreciate that it is stainless steel as I am concerned about microplastics.
If you want authentic espresso at home without the complicated digital menu or a massive price tag, this is reliable, fast and highly intuitive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving this DēLonghi espresso maker, it makes making espressos and cappuccinos a breeze, keeping the perfect temperature on every cup. The added milk frother and warmer is very quick and easy to use as well and makes making a nice drink quick. I cant get enough of using it since i got it. It feels like its built to last and has been reliable for me since ive had it, i wouldnt go back to making regular coffee again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made a great cup of double espresso. Easy to set up and use. Nice creama without needing to be an expert at tamping. Clean up easy way, and it’s the right size for 2 people. I could get two back to back pulls easily without needing to wait a long time. I made cafe au lait so I haven’t tested the steamer in full, but the small test was successful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this espresso machine. It is very compact and fits in most spaces. It isn't very heavy so it is easy to move if needed. I love how easy it is to make coffee. It is also very easy to clean and refill the water tank. I also love the variety of ways to make espresso. The cappuccino is my personal favorite. I would recommend this espresso machine to anyone interested.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic beginner or budget espresso machine. It fits easily onto my counter and looks luxurious. Set up and the cleaning cycle are very easy and noted clearly in the instruction manual. I’ve made both hot and iced latte lattes using this with regular milk and almond milk. The frother creates silky milk with a perfect amount of foam. The espresso brews very well and the machine does not take long at all to heat up. The espresso cycle is quiet and although the frothing is louder, it’s definitely not overwhelming.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works wonderfully and makes fantastic coffee. The color is nice and goes well in my kitchen. It’s a beautiful machine. It take a bit of time to get the hang of. It’s pretty big though so if you have a small kitchen it may be the wrong choice for you. I have a ton of counter space so it works well for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a stay at home mum coffee is apart of my everyday diet. I can’t live without it! This has made making my coffee so much more fun and quick! It brews fast and I love that I can make one or two shots of espresso in one go!
