Basic but works great
We love this machine. We have used one almost daily for many years and it finally gave up the ghost, so we just ordered an identical replacement. This is not a fancy machine but it does exactly what we want, which is to make great espresso easily and with minimal hassle. The simplicity of the machine seems to contribute to it's longevity. We use only drinking water for it that is purchased in bulk at the store, so we have no calcium buildup problems that require extensive or even regular cleaning. We learned years ago that our tap water leaves residue on everything, even when cycled through our water filtration and softening system. Using distilled water or spring water from the store eliminates many problems with our four coffee making systems. A couple of times a year we simply run some white vinegar through our DeLonghi as a preventive measure, and I clean the coffee residue off of the internal parts every few months. Like I said, we used an identical DeLonghi for many years before replacing it with this one. Not too much to review...it is inexpensive, works great, and lasts a long time if quality water is used. It's perfect for us.
