Welcome to this review of the DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker. Today with this review it is my strong hope to give a little insight into this machine and hopefully allow you the reader to make a confident decision on whether this is the espresso maker for you or not.
Let’s start by going over some of the positives points. This machine is quite small compared to some other coffee makers on the market today, and because of this it will not take up all the space on your countertop. The water reservoir is plenty big enough, and should be able to provide you and your family with up to 10 cups of espresso. There is see-through panel at the rear of the machine where you can check the water level.
The frothing wand that comes with it is of a high quality and while there is a slight pause right after the brewing cycle before you can use the wand, there is no pause going from frothing to brewing. The frothing wand itself is only 3 1/4 inches from the countertop so you might run into some trouble if you are drinking your espresso from a tall cup.
Moving on let’s talk about the price. While the machine was originally released with a rather high price tag, it is now definitely in the middle of the road as far as espresso machine prices go. For the current price of this machine, Amazon.com are always worth taking a look at. If the current price of this machine still irks you then we should think about the purchase of this machine as more of a long-term investment as opposed to just dropping the money on a luxury gift. This machine and others of a similar quality earn their price tags and more for you, if you consider how much money you are saving on getting coffee from the coffee shop over the course of a year, you shouldn’t have any qualms about spending the cash.
Following on from there we should talk about the longevity of the DeLonghi EC155. This machine could win over many votes purely based on the length of time that DeLonghi machines last. There are reports on the web of people using other DeLonghi Espresso makers for anywhere up to 10 years! This is pretty amazing when we consider how long the typical mid-range coffee maker lasts, which is usually no more than a year or 2 if that.
I hope the information provided here in this review was useful to you in your search for the ideal Espresso/Coffee Maker. Thanks for reading.
