Expresso Machine, January 5, 2009
My wife loves this thing. It was a Xmas gift. She is addicted to Starbucks $4 Latte. It makes excellent Latte even with skim milk. Maybe better than Starbucks. My only disappointment is the tamper is attached to the machine, a small annoyance. Once you get it figured out, Latte lovers will be in heaven.

good little machine, December 26, 2008
Got this for my girlfriend for xmas and it’s great. I work in a coffee house and she had been bugging me for our own machine. I got this one because it was a good price for a pump machine. It is a good size, makes really good espresso shots. There not wicked huge shots but the crema is nice and it’s tastes good. The steam wand is a little weird and I bought our own tamper but I would recommmend this machine who just wants a little something around the house.

Just as I had hoped!, November 11, 2008
After doing my research on several models and looking at the Consumer Reports, I made my decision to get the DeLonghi EC155. I couldnt be happier. I’m a true beginner and after reading through the instructions a couple times and giving it a test run, I was enjoying a nice Mocha w/ foamed milk and whip cream. I noticed that there were some complaints about waiting 15 minutes but I was making it sooner than that with no problems. I don’t have any complaints about the milk steamer. I’m being more realistic since this isnt a thousand dollar machine but this little machine foams my milk perfectly! So far I have no complaints. Great Price, Great Taste and saves me from driving out of the way for a mocha..

Awesome pump driven machine for the $$, March 24, 2007
I was always skeptical of expensive espresso machines and wondered why anyone would pay hundreds of dollars for an expensive machine. It turns out that the more expensive and quality machines are “pump-driven” rather than the typical “steam driven” found at your local Wally World and such. A pump driven machine will hit pressures 4-5 times greater than that of a steam driven machine and gets much better extraction from the espresso grinds (better flavor) and are the only machines capable of generating the “chrema” foam at the top of the espresso.

The DelLonghi EC155 is an excellent budget machine found for under $100 that is pump driven. I was happy with my old steam driven Delonghi, but once I received this I realized that I didn’t even know what I was missing. This espresso is as good or better than anything you’ll get in a nice Italian restaurant or at your local Charbucks. The chrema that this thing produced is flat out great (you’ll get a nice 1/4 layer of tasty emulsified foam). The convenience of pulling a single shot is great too, and you really only need the machine to warm up a few minutes before you pull a shot.

The best feature about this machine in my humble opinion is that it is E.S.E certified (easy serve espresso). This means that you can pick up the ESE certified pods from Charbucks or a good online pod retailer and not have to go to the trouble of grinding and tamping. This is a HUGE feature that even some more expensive machines do not have and is what eventually sold me on this unit. Having grown accustomed to the convenience of pod coffee, it was only natural to look for the same thing in my espresso machine. Do note that coffee (senseo style) pods will not work in here as those are much larger than the ESE certified pod. Try a nice blend from Baronet or another find espresso brand and you won’t be sorry.

I highly recommend this machine. In short, it has fantastic features for the money, makes awesome espresso chrema, and it ESE certified for pod use. You will definitely not do any better than this machine for under $100.
