– Manual Coffee Machine Stilosa EC260.CR, 15 Bar Pressure, Cappuccino System, Automatic Switch-Off, Compatible with ESE pods, 2 Level Tray, Capacity 1L Cream

Excellent value for money and works well. You need to get used to knowing which heads to use for loose coffee grounds versus ESE pods but once you do it works very well. The heads are easy to change and can be kept in the little compartment next to the water reservoir. The water reservoir is easy to refill. The drip tray needs to be kept clean but is dishwasher proof if needed. The noise level is reasonable and not a major nuisance. The water drips through at a reasonable rate and creates a good coffee if used with good grounds or pods. I bought a set of four espresso cups which rounded off the purchase.

This is my first “proper” coffee machine. I’ve wanted one for a long time and finally bought this based on price and the positive reviews. I think it is a good machine for the money, makes a nice cup of coffee and looks good on the kitchen counter. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. The only thing I would say is that I don’t use it as often as I thought I would. On some days I enjoy the ritual of making a good cup of coffee but for speed of drinking that coffee I still use coffee bags which I find, having tried several but now found one I really enjoy, make a good cup of coffee.

I have now had an opportunity to test out this nice compact machine. it looks nice in black and silver and doesn’t take up much space on the kitchen work surface. For the people who don’t like to read the whole review I’ll say here to save you reading further , I give this 4.5 stars. Using the larger portafilter with illy ground beans it works flawlessly. A nice ‘rats tail’ like stream of coffee slowly dribbles itself into the mug. Using the smaller portafilter with ESE 44mm coffee pods (as advised in the manual) it’s not quite such a smooth process, a mixture of ‘rats tails’ at first and then the coffee drips and plops into the mug but by the time my milk frother has made nice peaks of creamy milk, the mug has about 4oz of coffee in it. Ido not use the frothing wand, or faffing wand, as my wife calls them. They are hit and miss at best and they take a lot of cleaning and care to look after them. I use a stand alone milk frother. To use the Delonghi machine is very straight forward with just a few steps, especially if you do not use the wand. Turn it on, wait for the green light, twist in the portafilter, turn control knob to the right. easy! The cup warmer is a bonus and it does get quite hot. Using the cup warmer and heated frothed milk I find the temperature of a completed mug of coffee just right. Using cold milk it’s only just lukewarm. The machine is quite light so I put it in a rubber pad which helps when securing the portafilter. If using ESE pods with the machine worked as flawlessly as using ground coffee I would give 5 stars but it just looses out because of this. I will try using other brand pods just to see what happens. If there is an improvement I will update this review.

Brilliant coffee machine, gives hot coffee and frothy milk. Very easy to use. Best machine I have bought, and I've had many. Well pleased.

10/10, this has been used on a daily basis and continues to work well. There have been no issues, can do single and double espressos. It is easy to clean and change. Milk frother works well and makes excellent coffee. Would highly recommend. This has saved me money as I no longer want to buy coffee when out because I know I can make nicer coffee at home.

It's cheap, and unfortunately the issues are many. Starting with.... Coffee temperature is a lukewarm 63 degrees, I get that it is so you do not "burn " the coffee, but, when you have to mess around with the milk frother, it becomes an issue. We used a temperature gauge, using the frother, the green light ON. The first hit with the frother took the milk to 33 degrees, and then, wait until the green light was on again, then, froth again. The temperature goes up in 17 degree increments. So after 4 uses of the frother, the coffee is now less than 50 degrees, and the milk at 80 degrees, you lose temperature as you are now pouring the hot milk onto cold coffee.. Unfortunately, this is definitely not acceptable, and, by the time you've made 2 cups of coffee, you've just wasted over 10 minutes of your life. Then, to empty the coffee grinds, you follow the instructions, and "tap tap", and the whole unit (portafilter) that you put the coffee into, falls out into the bin. EVERY TIME. The handle,(basket) that you turn to lock the coffee into the machine, you have to be a body builder to turn this as its so tight, you can barely lock it in position. The milk frother, you must NOT follow the user instructions at this point, if you do, you end up with milk inside the frother pipe, which if left is going to be very unhygienic. You really need to take the pipe off and wash it, then, clean the unit itself. Yes it's a good black Friday deal, BUT, it's not a good machine in so many ways, which is a shame as it does make a good, if lukewarm coffee.

Got this on Black Friday and it’s amazing. Has changed my morning coffee routine for the better. It’s a good size, doesn’t take up lots of space and brews a lovely coffee which tastes so much better! Fully converted from instant now. It’s quick to heat up and pours at a steady pace. It’s not overly loud either.

This coffee machine is actually so much fun to use and makes fantastic coffee. It's not too loud and very easy to use. It looks super high quality and all components feel nice and sturdy.

The first shipment I received was opened, so I asked for a replacement. I like the machine. My parents 20 year old machine broke and they wanted a replacement, and this one is very similar to their old one. I really like the removable tank. I also like how small it is. For whatever reason, the dimensions aren't written here, but my father was able to find them on the company website.

Klasse Maschine Preis/Leistung Hammer - nicht nur für Einsteiger. Die EM450 kann auch "echten" Espresso mit einwandigen Sieben UND einer Mühle, die einen entsprechend feinen Mahlgrad für Espresso hin bekommt (die Mühle - das ist das A und O der ganzen Espresso/Crema Geschichte). Ich nutze eine Demoka 203. Die DeLonghi nutze ich als Zweitgerät neben meiner "Diva" LaPavoni Europicola. Hier ein empfehlenswerter Kurztest dazu: YouTube Kanal Toms Coffee Corner: "Delonghi Linea Classic EM450 Review and Test" Meine Bilder: Espresso mit bodenlosem Siebträger und klassischen Einwandsieb. Hier ist der Mahlgrad noch zu fein, Druckaufbau zu hoch, Espresso schmeckt trotzdem (und nur darum sollte es doch gehen). Das erste Bild mit der Crema und Einwand Sieb ist z.B. der "günstige" Versuchsespresso Lidl fair trade bio Espresso, ca. 13 €/kg, oder dann richtig gut und italienische Empfehlungen: Izzo Supermiscaela,, Mondial Crema Rosso. Lavazza Espresso Barista oder - Neapel lässt grüßen - Kimbo. Wer es dann noch weiter treiben will, ist dann halt bei frisch gerösteten Bohnen des Rösters des Vertrauens. Außerdem kann man natürlich auch das 10-40ig fache für eine "richtige" Maschine ausgeben - Willkommen in der Espressoterik! Für mich mich als Durchschnittsespressoliebhaber aber nicht nötig :-) Aus meiner Erfahrung, lieber mehr Budget in die Mühle stecken, die bleibt in der Regel und ist die Basis für guten Espresso. Eines halte ich aber schon für relevant: Wie langen die Maschine hält und vor allem reparierbar ist (Ersatzteile in 2 Jahren wenn die Garantie rum ist?) ist fraglich. Da hat man natürlich mit einer klassischen Einsteigermaschiene - die dann schon das dreifache+ kostet wie z.B. die Lelit Anna denke ich mehr Sicherheit, dass man die in 10 Jahren+ noch betreiben kann. Ich habe mich trotzdem - als Zweitgerät - für die DeLonghi entscheiden weil ich hoffe, dass die große Marke langfristig Ersatzteile/Reparatur etc. bereit stellt. Deswegen wäre ein chinesiche - noch günstigerer - Einstiegsmaschine keine Option für mich. Außerdem sollte man sich überlegen welches System man haben will. Ich denke dem Thermoblock gehört sie Zukunft (schnell betriebsbereit). Für mich ist das eine gute Möglichkeit im Vergleich zu meiner LaPavoni Kessel Maschine mal zu testen, wo die Vor- Nachteile sind. Aber letzlich kommt es immer darauf an ob man einfach guten Espresso/Cappucino etc. haben will oder wie tief man da einsteigen will. Die mitgelieferten Siebe machen auch mit "alten/hell gerösteten Bohnen" und/oder zu groben Mahlgrad tolle (Fake?) Crema durch die doppelwandige Bauweise und Verjüngung auf ein kleines Auslassloch. Hier passendes Zubehör für die nächsten Schritte nach den druckoptimierten doppelwandigen Sieben die mitgeliefert werden: Siebe passen alle der Dedica, sind identisch. Ich habe mehrere ein/zweier "Dedica" Siebe einwandig bestellt, passen alle. Siebträger: ich habe sowohl einen bodenlosen bestellt als auch einen mit Doppelauslauf, hier passen die Dedica Siebträger NICHT da die "Ohren" der EM450 leicht "angephast" sind. Hier sollten aber die Casabrews passen! Folgendes passt (Artikel Bezeichnung bei Amazon): bodenloser Siebträger: CAPFEI Bodenloser Siebträger 51mm für Casabrews CM5418/Cecotec Power Espresso 20 mit 3 Ohren 4mm Dicke und Holzgriff Doppelauslauf: Siebträger 51mm für Cecotec Power Espresso 20/Casabrews CM5418 mit doppel Auslauf - Filterhalter aus Edelstahl inkl. Sieb

Livraison du colis parfaite, très bien protégé. Facile à utilisé.Bien penser à purger la machine avant la première utilisation. Très bon produit à plutôt l'air fiable sur la durabilité. Café de très bonne qualité de type bar-restaurant. Fonction vapeur efficace. L' avantage de l'arrêt manuel et que l'on peux gérer sa quantité ( ristretto, moyen, long ) mais pas de fonction automatique sur ce modèle mais reste une machine à café de grande qualité si on ne souhaite pas de fonction capsule aluminium.

Best machine for home ! I have it for 1 year work perfectly!

EXCELLENT ! Commandé hier et reçu le lendemain matin
