De'LonghiEletta Explore Espresso Machine with Cold Brew, Automatic Hot & Cold Milk Frother for 50+ One Touch Recipes, Built-in Grinder, ECAM45086S

I have had this Delonghi maker for about a year now as I wanted to be able to give it a fair review. It is so intuitive, and makes great coffee! Grinds the beans, froths the milk and you can even control from an app on your phone! Coffee ready before your feet hit the ground. I just wake up, hit the button for my favorite double expresso cappuccino- snuggle with my dogs for a few minutes then go get my cup of supreme freshly brewed coffee. I simply LOVE it and feel so spoiled. It was a gift to myself, as after a trip to Italy a couple of summers ago, I realized how horrible my coffee was after drinking the coffee there! It was an investment for sure, but absolutely not one issue with it...and I'm worth it! Life is too short to drink bad coffee!!

I really like this machine quite a bit. Very convenient, intuitive, and easy to use. Makes a great americano. My only wish is that it had a option for a direct water line. I ended up drilling the tank and adding a valve to fill the tank.

I would give this a zero if I could. I did a great deal of research before I decided to buy this machine. It came, I set it up... it had a light that said see manual for general error. There is no general error code in the manual. I downloaded app, which does not work until you sync machine. So, I called DeLonghi. The rep was nice and he remoted in via text and had me try a few things while he watched. Within five minutes he said "send it back it's defective, we see it all the time." Well, that's reassuring.😳 $1600 and it doesn't work. No thanks, back to the drawing board. Also, be very careful and make sure this is returnable before buying! I will likely look at a Jura or Breville. Heed my advice, not worth the risk!

This was a $1,600 lesson in not buying expensive items on Amazon. It did not work correctly from day one. Amazon initially said I had until the end of the month to return it, but when I tried, they said it was not eligible.I have been going back and forth with De'Longhi, trying to troubleshoot/warranty this, and it has been a pain. Now, it's leaking water. If I can prevent even one person from buying this machine, I will be happy.Update: working with Deonghi over email was a pain.. when I finally called them.. it took 20 mins for them to tell me to send the machine back for them to replace. Buy from De”Longhi, but not from Amazon.

Hands down the best thing I ever purchased!

Best. Money. Ever. Spent. So easy to use (don’t YouTube it because every video is too long and annoying) just follow the instructions they give. The taste of coffee in this machine is unmatched. Super easy to clean. I love the favorites option so my husband can make me a coffee. I haven’t had any problems with it! No leaking, no mold, nothing other than love for this machine!

We decided to treat ourselves to a fully automatic espresso machine last Christmas and picked this one based on stellar reviews. The espresso? Fantastic. The variety of drinks? Delicious. We were loving it—until a few weeks in when it asked us to descale.No problem, we used the manufacturer’s recommended solution. But after that, the hot milk carafe just stopped working. I cleaned it, took it apart, tried everything—no luck. Oddly, the cold carafe still worked, so I knew it wasn’t the machine itself. Frustrating!Finally, we called customer service and learned something surprising: De’Longhi does not recommend using reverse osmosis (RO) water. Guess what we had been using for both brewing and cleaning? RO water.One more descaling cycle with plain old tap water, and boom—problem solved. Note to self: DO NOT use RO water! I know, it seems counterintuitive, but trust me on this one.Also, the mobile app is sluggish and pretty useless, but that’s a minor gripe.Despite the hiccup, I’m still giving it 4 stars because at the end of the day, it makes truly great coffee. Just be mindful of the water you use! ☕️

Amazing coffee maker, it's expensive but for the avid coffee drinker, the cost is justifiable. Has favorites setting as well as multiple profile settings so if you and your spouse like your coffee different, it will save it.
