Firstly, this machine is fantastic and makes great coffee, that's not in question, but then again so do all De'Longhi machines including my used and abused (but still working) 9 year old model which this has replaced. What is in question is the value of this machine, this is nearly 3 times the cost of an entry De'Longhi bean to cup machine and double the cost of the De'Longhi Autentica Cappuccino ETAM29.660.SB Bean to Cup which includes a milk frother and as far as I can tell has very similar features.A point of difference for this machine is it's 'slim and space-saving' design, slim it may be, but what it lacks in width it more than makes up for in length, it's almost as long as a standard depth of a kitchen worktop and this can make placement challenging as the beans/ground coffee are loaded on the top and the water (whilst detachable) is at the back. You'll need to avoid a space with a cupboard above else you'll be trying to move this heavy unit out to load the beans or access the water tank.The machine is very easy to use an there are many settings to tailor your coffee to your preference and even save these to a 'my coffee' setting so you can have your hot, extra strong, double latte to fill your favourite mug perfectly at the touch of a button. I would say that I find milk is better frothed from a separate frother (I have a Dualit 84135 Milk Frother) rather than the unit attached to the machine. I also find the milk frother included is a pain to clean which puts me off using it. One thing I struggle with is the size of the bean hopper, compared to the large machine it's tiny and I probably have to refill after 7 coffees, it just seems needlessly small.In summary this is an excellent machine, the reason for the 2 stars off is related to the cost when compared to other models in the range. If you want the a similar machine for less save half and buy the 'De'Longhi Autentica Cappuccino ETAM29.660.SB Bean to Cup, Silver and Black', if like me you like a latte I'd save further and get a 'De'Longhi Magnifica ESA
