DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine

The DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine has many features that set this Espresso maker above the rest; self priming operation, stainless steel boiler made of durable, high quality stainless steel, two separate thermostats so water and steam pressure are controlled separately and adjustable steam emission for making the perfect cappuccino.

It has an unique dual-function filter that accommodates both E.S.E. pods and ground espresso. When it is used with ground espresso, the filter mixes air into the brewing process to produce a perfect crema, which, distinguished by its caramel color, is the essence of authentic espresso.

This DeLonghi espresso machine is very attractive with it’s silver metal accents and doesn’t take up a lot of room. The frothing wand swivels and mixes steam and milk to create a nice creamy froth. It takes only about a minute to heat up.

The DeLonghi EC155 has some great features including:

This DeLonghi EC155 is quiet and efficient and makes great espresso and cappuccinos. The water reservoir is a good size at 35 liquid ounces and removable for easy filling.

One of the user reviews make these points about the DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine:

This is an excellent budget machine that is pump driven (like much more expensive models). The espresso is as good or better than anything you’ll get in a nice Italian restaurant or at your local coffee shop. The chrema that this thing produced is flat out great (you’ll get a nice 1/4 layer of tasty emulsified foam).

The best feature about this machine in my humble opinion is that it is E.S.E certified (easy serve espresso). This means that you can pick up the ESE certified pods and not have to go to the trouble of grinding and tamping.

I highly recommend this machine. In short, it has fantastic features for the money.
