 Beautiful but the Refurb didn't work! May 20, 2010
Explorer (World Traveler)
I love the look and weight of this Espresso Maching but I couldn't seem to get it to work. I sent it back and got a full refund. The company was easy to work with and even split the shipping back with me. They said that the product worked when they got it back a t their shop and tested it. So, I had to pay shipping back. I thought that was fair. Maybe I wasn't using it properly or maybe it doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Either way, it didn't function for me and I got a fair shake from the company. I wish it would have performed to my expectations though because it was beautiful. I just couldn't get the water to dispense. I finally got steam out of it and then the water did dispense some but not as expected. Then I began smelling something that was burning inside the machine so I shut it off and sent it back. I have used a commercial machine at work so maybe my expectations were too high for this product. I wouldn't discourage anyone from buying from them as they treated me fairly and again, it could have been me. Maybe you will have better luck.

If you've owned a Delonghi before and been happy with it, you'll like this one too. We go through an espresso machine about every 1-3 years, as my husband is Portuguese and we drink espresso daily. This machine makes good espresso with a very nice thick crema on top.
I rather like this machine. It does not take up a lot of counter space. There is plastic on the housing but I don't think this is going to be a problem, and we've owned this machine for about 2-3 months at the time I write this.
The water bottle is easy to fill and large enough to hold several cups, and the espresso is good and rich-tasting with a nice crema. We don't use the frother, so I cannot comment on that. The hot plate on the top is not hot enough to heat a cup, but that's never been a concern for me. The drip pan fills pretty fast, be prepared to empty it on a regular basis (but it's easy to do quickly)
I like the Delonghi style of coffee ground pan, you can take the bugger apart and clean it thoroughly, which you will need to do on a regular basis, as it will clog with coffee. The holes are large enough to clean with an old toothbrush.
Here's a tip on cleaning the coffee pan holes: Scrub the pan holes with a toothbrush using Greased Lightening or a similar cleaning product. You can tell when it's clean by holding the pan up to the light and seeing if the holes are clear. Greased Lightening cuts through coffee residue better than anything I've found. However, be advised this product is definitely a chemical and smells pretty toxic, so be sure to rinse the pan repeatedly after you get it clean to get all the cleaner off of the pan. I try to clean mine every week at least. Once in a blue moon you need to empty the pot totally and clean the holes where the water comes out of the machine because coffee will get up in there over time also.
If you have trouble getting used coffee grounds out of the pan (as they can get pretty firmly packed in there), my suggestion is to find a small wooden or bamboo spoon to help remove them. Using metal spoons or implements can scratch the pan and possibly damage the holes in the bottom. I ordered a small cheap bamboo spoon that works really well for this. (look on ebay if you can't find a small spoon locally)
Also, we use filtered water from our refrigerator dispenser in our coffee machine, which helps to avoid scale forming inside the machine. I strongly advise using filtered water in espresso machines, because frankly, you won't clean it often enough otherwise to keep it cleaned out inside. (trust me, this is a job you'll most likely put off in favor of more fun activities).
The best recommendation for Delonghi comes from my European husband--he's been an espresso drinker all his life and he definitely likes the coffee from this machine.
Our coffee brand? We usually order Cafe Bustelo or La Laza from CVS by mail order. The coffee comes pre-ground for espresso, it's vac-packed, it tastes good but not bitter, and it works really well in espresso machines. If you earn CVS bucks regularly and watch their sales, you can order your coffee for a really good price. They usually put on a pretty good sale about the time the bucks come in twice a year and that's when I stock up.

A great espresso maker for the price. The espresso has lots of crema, the milk gets really frothy. Its a pump-driven system and makes a latte that comes pretty close to one made on a coffee house machine.
Just what I wanted in an espresso machine! November 12, 2008

After much research, I decided to get the DeLonghi EC460 machine, and am not disappointed. Superb craftsmanship, quick start-up, ease of use, and nice crema made this a winner. I do pre-heat the cups and collection mug in a microwave before filling the mug, just so it will all be warm enough.
My mocha is now as good as the $4 ones I use to buy at You-Know-Where.
I also recommend buying a Terry's Tamper and a 1-cup pyrex mug to get you going.
Excellent espresso machine for your home or office June 13, 2007

My wife-to-be and I wanted to start making our favorite espresso drinks at home since buying them each morning from Starbucks made us feel guilty (spending $8/day on coffee = $240/month or $2,880/year ). So we started looking into getting an espresso machine and a nice burr grinder for our home. Since I had worked as the manager of a trendy coffee shop/Bar/Restaurant when I was in college, I was already a skilled Barista. As part of that job I also had to read up on coffee types and the various ways to properly prepare it. This really came in handy as we began to research a massive variety of espresso machines. One thing you will quickly find out is you can't be stingy when it comes to spending cash on your machine (but think of the money you can save by making your own). So I was prepared to spend around $350 for our new machine and I seriously considered the starbucks barista model machine (in that price range). But then we came across the De'Longhi EC-460. The machine didn't have very many reviews but it did have good specs, good looks, and the few reviews I could find were very positive. So we gave it a try. Wow are we glad we did. This machine is awesome all around. It's got great looks (looks far better then models which cost 2x as much). It's got the cup warmer on the top, and an easily washable/removable water reservoir. This machine is ideal for making two beverages at a time (if you need any more than that and will need to make them in a second run). What I mean is that frothing/steaming milk for more than two beverages at a given time won't work very well in this machine so you will have to make your drinks in no more than groups of two's. The machine has excellent components (lots of power) and pulls an awesome shot (with perfect crema). And the steam wand heats fast and is extremely effective (great micro-foam). This machine is quality any way you look at it (without taking the price into consideration). Once you take a look at the price-tag for this machine you find that it's down right amazing. If you are looking for an affordable, quality machine (with really great style) to make tasty espresso at home...I would highly recommend you select this machine (EC-460 model).
