I?m enjoying the great tasting espressos from my Stilosa. I love that I don?t have to worry about a sensor going awry like I?ve had in the past with a more complicated and more expensive espresso machine. I?ve recommended the Stilosa to a relative who is looking to buy their 1st espresso machine at an affordable price.

I got a slightly different model of the Delonghi.It has all the same features.The espresso seems extremely bitter & the machine vibrates is very loud!!

The machine is way better than the price snobs reviews here indicate who assume more expensive must equal better quality -which is probably why Seattle coffee can?t find an excuse to discontinue the machine despite its low price point: it delivers a thick creama and completely authentic expresso experience from your favorite coffee?s. It is ready to brew in faster time than you can tamp the grounds. The steam wand produces abundant dry steam that whips up an abundance of latte art ready froth in seconds, not minutes. Honestly, you?d have to be a ridiculous snob to put down this machine. I?ve owned three over 10 years and at a total price point at under $300 for all three machines combined!

It's ok for ESE pods but I really wish I took more time and spent more money on a better espresso machine. I will be looking to upgrade shortly to something that doesn't use a pressure filter and I have much more control over my shot pull.

I would highly recommend the Delonghi Stilosa for a beginner espresso maker!Simple to use and quality made.

I love this machine. I've had it for almost six months now and I have no complaints. The steamer wand is great with the caveat that you need to wait until it's ready to go for it to work. The first few times I was using it, I was just turning the lever on the side, not setting the machine to "steam wand" and waiting for the green light. As long as you're not a total dope like me, this is the perfect machine for at home espresso.

If it's all you can afford then get it. In it's price range it's about as good as it gets. But you'll not be getting a good espresso. I'd save the hundred and put it toward a better machine, wish that's what I had done.

Functional great for the price. Difficult to get an even extraction from both sides. Temp even following the instructions For “hotter” coffee comes out at about 170 which is a bit low. Seems to under-extract though changing to a finer grind seemed to help some once your finally getting the good creme the ready light goes off and the temp drops. Scoop overfills both filters and is very flimsy when trying to pack down your grind. Im very picky wife loves it mother in law says the best cup shes ever had.

Brewed coffee will not come out of spout. Former works but there’s no coffee to put it in.

Well-built machine. Makes a tasty drink. Good value for the price. Reasonable heat-up cycle.

It is exactly as advertised, perfect for beginners. Makes really good espresso, no burnt bitterness. Small and looks really nice. The price makes it perfect for learning / trying something new without fear of regret.

Perfect for what i need, thanks!
