Disappointed
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I did a lot of research into midrange bean-to-cup machines and eventually settled on this one, being convinced by the praise for customisability and value for money given. My Gaggia Brera was a lovely little machine but unfortunately died after about 5 years.The DeLonghi looked great initially once I'd figured out how to get the grind I wanted and produces a decent espresso. I would like to be able to set the DEFAULT espresso strength rather than adding "my" espresso, but I am not sure if that is possible - it might be.My main problem with this machine is the milk. My Gaggia required manual milk steaming every time and I was looking forward to being able to click "latte" and walk away. Unfortunately the DeLonghi has a preset milk temperature that cannot be changed, somewhere around 55 degrees. I don't know about you but I like a hot drink, more like 70 degrees plus. I contacted their support team who told me I was a fool for wanting a hotter drink and that milk was best at their lukewarm preset. At £700 I would like to be able to set the temperature of my milk!Never mind, I would use the steamer. And here is problem number 2. The steamer introduces so much froth I end up with a jug which is one third hot milk and 2 thirds sea foam. Not good! Milk made via the carafe has foam settings but there is no way to adjust this via the steamer. Additionally I have yet to be able to steam my milk in one go as the steam attachment pops off every 30 seconds or so.I really wish I had gone for another Brera - however my other half likes coffee the temperature of bathwater and is happy to use the milk carafe to make his drinks so here we are.Without involving milk this machine does make good espressos and longs, but if you're wanting good milk then look elsewhere.

Leaks!

This is not a good machine. I happily owned a De'longhi 4200 for many years and decided to upgrade to this model when it was on sale.However the 510.55M is more than twice the cost of the 4200 but it's nowhere near as good. My machine permanently sits in a pool of water that I have to mop up every time I empty the grounds tray.

I found the machine complicated to set up, before completed an error message appeared and wouldn’t go away.I had to return it.
