Had a Delonghi model that was decent until it died, and didnt realize what I was missing!!!
Using the same beans and grinder Id been using, this tastes a lot better! Its a little slower to heat up, but the espresso comes out faster, smoother, and frothier than my other unit.
My only gripe is that they overloaded the same blue light to mean not ready and ready where subtly flashing/pulsing blue means not ready and solid blue means ready. Its nuance I dont need to parse when I havent had my espresso yet, but Ive survived, and thats my only gripe!
This thing is great!
