I just wanted to balance out the reviews a little, as they seem to be quite poor overall. I purchased mine direct from Delonghi, when it was on offer. It is a lovely looking machine, not too big. The coffee it produces tastes really nice, i previously had a pod machine, but wanted to stop using so much plastic, and the coffee this produces tastes so much better than the pods. The only thing that you need to be aware of is that you cant make just 1 coffee in the filter side, as it has to be filled up to the 4 coffee line, but i have found this to be actually just over 2 mugs full. The hotplate does switch off after about 30 mins, but it stays hot for quite a while after. Also the drip tray fills quickly, which i thought at first was a fault, and very nearly returned it, but have since found out that it has an auto rinse feature, which flushes the system through on start up and finish, which would have been handy if it had been mentioned in the instructions. But as long as you remember to empty it after each use, (not too soon as water continues to come out for a while) it is not a problem. I have given it 5 stars as for me the machine does everything i want it to. Cannot comment on the frother as we only drink black coffee.
