 Replacing this thing after 9 months July 7, 2008

I got this coffee maker in late 2007. It's beautiful from the outside and a number of reviews of similar DeLonghi machines got my hopes up.
I had serious problems with the espresso machine. First, it was almost impossible to get the espresso filter cup (where the grinds go) to attach securely to the unit. This resulted in grinds and water all over my counter top. I had to push so hard to latch it that I thought I was going to break the handle off.
The steamer was difficult to use and I ended up burning my hand. I never tried using the espresso portion again.
For the first 6 months or so, the coffee maker worked pretty well. About 2 months ago, I noticed grinds were spilling into the coffee pot when the coffee was brewing and the water reservoir started leaking. I have probably half a cup of water on my counter from the coffee maker every day.
It's frustrating that my old $10 Mr.Coffee was more reliable than this thing.
 I've had no problems with it. I'm happy. May 27, 2008

I came on here looking for a replacement espresso carafe for this unit and am surprised to see so many negative reviews. I purchased it in November 2007 and it's received a lot of use (6 months of use) . I make espresso (and steam milk) every day. We use the drip coffee 3 or 4 times a week and haven't had any problems. I've been very happy with it. I will agree that the espresso doesn't get extra hot, but the temperature is fine for me. I just broke the espresso carafe today and can't seem to find a replacement one easily, but will keep looking.

I purchased this 3 months ago, this never really makes a hot cup of coffee, the espresso portion sort of works but is a difficult to use and it is difficult to get your cup under the steamer. Also the espresso maker is not as hot as it should be. The removable water tank leaks and you will find a puddle under the unit. I dropped the plastic water tank from about 2 feet off the ground and it cracked, making it useless, I was suprised how soft plastic could break so easily, and as of yet I am unable to find a replacement, and Delonghi wont respond to my emails. this unit is cheaply made, and not worth the 100 bucks I spent on it
look elsewhere for a better combination machine
 Works so far March 7, 2008

I like the way you fill this less spills and water mess. So far the coffee has been good and the machine is easy to clean.

I don't drink alot of Espresso, but my wife is a coffee hound, so I bought her this for christmas thinking it would be nice for her to be able to make her own cups before heading out to work (horrible commute). I took a chance on this brand (I've never heard of them before) and I wish i had taken more time to research and investigate all the different types and models of espresso makers.
The two complaints I have are 1) the coffee steamer never gets fully "hot". I mean, it IS hot, but not STEAMING hot like when you buy espresso at the coffee shop. more like....luke warm. Never hot enough where you can't take a drink right off the bat. I looked in the instructions on how to correct this, and could not find a solution.
second, this thing has a leak somewhere. I left it alone the third time I used it to make her coffee....and came back to a big puddle of water (not coffee) on my countertop. I do NOT enjoy cleaning up after a new appliance.
All in all, I wish I would have ponied up and gotten the more expensive coffee maker, this thing is nothing but a headache!
