De'Longhi A-3220-RMB Espresso Cappuccino Maker with Manual Milk Frother

PacooPacoo: The media could not be loaded.  This machine did a good job for about 18 months. Then it started leaking a little bit, leaving puddles. Now it has become a joke : it leaks from every possible joint and I have to daily empty the plateau in wich I had to put it to avoid a flood on the countertop. I now have to buy a new machine (from another brand...) after only 2 years. Very poorely built. I recommand to avoid this product.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: I bought this product and it was supposed to be brand new. I received it and it has obviously been used. I opened the shipping box and pulled out the product box. THere was no tape sealing it closed and it had been opened multiple times. After removing the unit from the box I noticed that the styrofoam around the espresso filters was damaged. As i continued unboxing it I found the actual handle/bucket item that you attach to the machine when pouring a shot had evidence that it had been used, improperly cleaned, and then sent back. When I pulled the full machine out of the box the tray had a water or milk? stain on it. where the water comes out into the espresso had stains and it is clear this product is used. I paid for a brand new unit. This sucks and is a complete waste of my time and money.

erika: I have this machine for a little over a year and I'm thrilled with it. It makes good coffee with a good foam. It is not temperamental like the Breville Roma which used to drive me crazy. I recommend it 100%.

fredrick f wright: Might be a little spendy but it's a good product if you love your espressos

Nicole: Honestly probably the best thing I ever bought on Amazon so far. I’m getting quality coffee at home compared to spending so much everyday at Starbucks and other coffee shops. The investment is paying off and I actually love making my own. It’s very satisfying. My kids also like hot coco with the foamy milk.

Adam S.: I bought this a year ago and it gets used at least once a day and acts like i just UN-packed it. Sure its entry level but it works and works well. the mug warmer never really worked for me, but i never cared about it.
Just follow the instructions, clean it, and enjoy.
FYI get a quality coffee grinder or get it per-ground and if it doesn't flow much at all, the grounds are too well packed.

Vizou: It took me a lot of time and research to decide on this machine after having owned a similar Breville some years ago (that unfortunately was more delicate and had ongoing issues). The De'Longhi is tough, well-made and makes great coffee. I've, had it for four months without any issues, so all good so far. It froths milk really well and once you get some barista practice for consistency, you can easily make any type of coffee you like.

As others have mentioned, it does tend to vibrate enough to make a glass espresso cup slide out from under the spout sometimes, but this seems pretty minor to me. I especially like the water reservoir – easy to remove or just fill from the top, although it is impossible to see how full from the front but this isn't a big deal, either.

Highly recommended.

Duchess of Dreams: This is an upgrade for me from the POS steam machine that I bought at Goodwill that basically made a double Americano. I was surprised by the tiny filter baskets so I made some modifications. I got rid of the spring holding the baskets in. Too hard to get them out to clean. Now I can turn the holder upside down and the basket falls out. Then I removed the black plastic diverter in the bottom of the filter holder and found a nut to hold the screw in place. Now I can use the big basket from my old crappy machine and do a 4 shot at a time equivalent rather than two.

To get the water hot enough I do the first run with just water in my cup until the light goes out and dump the water, then maybe again. BY the third time the light stays on long enough to make an espresso lungo or I can use my big pitcher and make a double shot Americano by running more water through. SO far so good. It is quieter than the old steam machine and does not seem to vibrate much. The instructions were clear and helpful for me since I had previously only used a turn it on until it runs out of steam then turn it off machine. This is a bit more finicky and I have to stand and watch it but it does not take...

Rick Baisa: Very good espresso maker for the money. I had the lower model of this product, but it was to small for a normal size coffee cup so I upgraded to this one. It took me a while to figure out how to keep it going though after a month though. The holes in the coffee baskets are very small and clog easily making it sound like you machine is not getting pressure, but it is really the baskets getting clogged. I have very hard water and this exacerbates the problem. I have found that after each use I need to clean the coffee out of the basket, put it back in the espresso machine and run it with no coffee in the basket to clean the basket. About once a month I need to soak the baskets in vinegar to clean out the scale that builds up in the baskets. I have a feeling that many of the people saying they are losing pressure are having one or some of the problems I have listed above.

T M W: I have had this machine for two months and used it to make my caramel latte every morning, this one is so far the best I've ever owned. Unlike most other brands or models in the price range of $150 to $200 (my experience), this machine heats and foams up milk super fast (I use coconut almond milk). What's ever better is that it does not scream like a mad monster. There is no water leak anywhere either, very well built! Just make sure that the water reservoir is pushed all the way to the bottom before you turn on the machine every time because it fits in the machine perfectly and tightly, it won't drop all the way in by itself or the pump would just be pumping air. I highly recommend De'Longhi ECP3220 to all Espresso and Latte lovers!
