About De'Longhi Bar Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
85% liked the user-friendly operation
The operating instructions made the process very easy to follow.
84% appreciated the space saving design, but 16% found it bulky
The machine has a pull-out bottom tray that accommodates larger cups.
This machine is lightweight and takes up as much counter space as a regular drip coffee pot, so there is minimal space investment.
The machine was designed to be compact and save space, and it is too small for me to easily use.
68% liked the programmable settings, yet 32% didn't
I like the tunability of the controls, which allows me to experiment with different settings to find the perfect cup for myself and repeat the settings without effort.
I suggest judging when to stop the machine based on how much the cup holds as it does not have size settings like fancier machines and runs until turned off.
There are four programmable settings on the machine - Steam, On, Make Coffee, and Make Coffee +Steam.
This machine does not have the feature to shut off the water/espresso at a predetermined amount, unlike other higher end/higher priced models.
77% appreciated the milk frothing
The milk frother makes amazing froth in a very short time like seconds and is powerful.
87% liked the easy cleaning process, while 13% found it cumbersome
It is easy to clean and to prevent clogging in the filter cups, keep the pressure hole clear.
The clean up process is easy with specific information provided on how to clean the steaming wand. Overall, it's a snap.
Cleaning the portafilter is easy, just knock it on the side of the trash can or compost bin.
Clean up is quick and easy. The frothier/steamer is easy to clean and can be easily removed for a more thorough cleaning. It is recommended to wipe it off after each use.

79% appreciated the build quality, but 21% found it flimsy
The machine has a solid stainless steel construction and everything feels and looks nice, from the metal-tipped espresso filter holder to the filters themselves.
The espresso machine's build quality is cheap and made of lots of plastic.
88% praised the brewing versatility
I can use the frother side and corresponding switches to add foam, froth, warm milk, or hot water depending on what I am making.
I noticed that the brew quality is better, but it produces less crema.
I can make several types of brews with my machine, thanks to its versatility. It also has a steamer for milk and a removable tray.
76% highlighted the fast brewing speed, yet 24% didn't
The steaming wand of this machine is not as powerful as a commercial espresso machine, resulting in slower milk heating.
