Release your inner barista with this De'Longhi Icona espresso machine. The self-priming feature provides fast brewing, and the patented frother chamber mixes the correct amount of milk and steam for tasty cappuccino. This De'Longhi Icona espresso machine has a storage tray that warms cups to keep your beverage from cooling.
We got this to replace our Espressione Cafe Retro after 6 years of spotty service. I loved the way the old one looked but it was a bit temperamental. Still, when it worked properly, it made good espresso.
The DeLonghi doesn't look as good or feel as solid as our old machine – also you can't put as many grounds in it so it's a bit weaker – but it's working as it's supposed to so far.
Decent value for the money if you like this style of machine.
