I love it, but still I am not unpacked yet. Waiting for the right time.

Expensive but makes great coffee easily

We've had this machines for exactly a year and a half. The grinder stopped working all of a sudden today. We take good care of the machine and maintain it as instructed. It should not break down or cause problems after only one and a half year of use, especially when it's so expensive. I would not recommend this machine to anyone.

Love at first taste! The DeLonghi Elleta is the best expresso machine I’ve ever owned! What a difference in the quality of coffee the Elleta makes. I was skeptical at first to purchase an expensive expresso machine; however, the Elleta surpassed all my expectations. From the first sip of coffee made by the Elleta, I was sold on the machine. It’s worth its price as it makes phenomenal coffee. It comes with two milk frothers: one for hot beverages and one for cold brew. So far I’ve only tried the hot beverages. They are beyond delicious, way better than coffee shop coffees. The milk frother creates a foam that comes out thick and creamy. The coffee has a consistency that is thick and creamy rather than watery. This is something regular machines can’t pull off. The Elleta cleans itself before and after every use making it ideal and always well maintained. The Specifications: The water reservoir was a feature that was difficult to research as to how much water it can hold. I was hesitant when I saw 8 fl oz in the product description. Rest assured it’s way bigger than that and can hold 60 fl oz. I was also concerned about the cup sizes. This is something that the Elleta allows you to customize to your needs and fills up to 16 fl oz. The unboxing and setting up of the Elleta was overwhelming at first, but as you start the DeLonghi, it takes you through an easy to use tour. The Elleta comes with a photo book of various coffee drinks and how to prepare them. It even allows you to set up four profiles to customize your coffee beverages and how you like your coffee. Overall, the Elleta is very much worth every penny! Its features and the quality of coffee is something that is important when shopping for an expresso machine.

I was really tentative to spend so much on a machine, but it works great. I love that I can just pour whole beans in, and the cup of coffee or latte it makes taste amazing. I spent more since this also makes cold brew, but haven't used the cold feature too much yet (though it does make a great iced latte). The froth is surprisingly good from a machine, but my chief complaints have been that I haven't been able to connect the app to it since buying it a few months ago (seems to be a problem for a lot of people from a google search), and the fact that when it turns on/off, it flushes water out. I bought a small decorative dish to keep on the tray for that water, it's a small annoyance but I understand it keeps the machine clean. Pleasant surprise buying from Wayfair that coupons worked on it.
