DeLonghi Compact Automatic Cappuccino, Latte and Espresso Machine, Silver

I don't actually own this product myself, but I have a friend that does and I've used it on occasion. I look forward to going to their house just to brew myself a cup of coffee! This coffee maker is quite compact in size. It takes beans and ground. And the best part, no coffee filter required!

Pros: It is very easy to use. The first thing it does when you turn it on(and off) is it rinses the filters. After that, the screen shows you options to personalize the taste either: extra mild, mild, strong, extra strong or standard, as well as the amount you want which are: espresso, long, extra long or standard. There is also a dedicated button for cappuccino and hot water only. Coffee that is used during the brew is discarded into a pull-out tray in a disc shape form, making it easy to throw away. It notifies you when water is low, when coffee beans are low, and when the discard tray is full.

Cons: When I was asked, I thought this fancy machine was around $300, but noooope, I was wrong. It can be loud at first, especially for those early morning brews. Sometimes the coffee maker will say there are no coffee beans, when there are, so moving the beans closer to the grinder is required.

All in all, the brews are great, but I'll own one myself when I win the lottery.

Although it was a refurb I thought it would last longer. Beans wouldnt go into grinder without help, one side of the cup warmer got so hot you couldnt touch it. I was able to return for full refund but very disappointed in the quality of the machine as I have had another Delonghi that is 4 years old and still pretty darn reliable.
