While I am a fan of Delonghi products in general, I do have to keep it real, and report when something is not going so well.

I address the 3 main issues mentioned in this video, and shortly mention the Breville (Sage) Barista Express as a worthy alternative. These issues do not render the machine unusable necessarily, but they shouldn’t be happening (selector switch, manometer, grinder). **FYI: I have had no issues at all with my own model. [More]
