Makes great coffee. Second one I've had Show Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk This is the second of these machines I've had, the first one got a faulty switch after 10 years.

Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk This is my 2nd one and this version has been upgraded which is good. Only issue was that it arrived with a European 2 pin plug. Per instructions you have to cut it off and replace with 3 pin. No mention of this in details on site and since being marketed in UK it should come with 3 pin plug as standard. Murray Marshall brilliant for 18 months. Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk We have had three of these...they are really great for 18 months..then all the valves go and there's water everywhere. We regularly descaled etc. me Too good Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk I think the negative reviewer may have been unlucky. I have had this maker for nearly three years. It produces really excellent cappuccino. I recently bought it a second time, and if anything, my new model is better (quieter, re-designed coffee holder). If you are wondering why I bought a new one, it's because I did the unforgiveable - I tried to make a coffee, not remembering I had removed the water tank. By the time I realised this (it had been heating up for far too long, and then I drained it when it had no supply) I had damaged the boiler and it's integrity was in question. Still, even with my stupidity, I'd had about 4000 cups out of it, which I estimate at around 3p a shot. Everyone at home agrees that it makes such a good cup that it's impossible to consider going out for one; too disappointing! joe Jacobs ... maintain them properly they make cup after cup of wonderfully smooth and creamy espresso Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk Have owned ours for 5 years now and when you maintain them properly they make cup after cup of wonderfully smooth and creamy espresso. Would definitely recommend!! Unreliable Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk We have had two of these coffee makers. Both have broken - the first after just 14 months - the pump went; the second has lasted just over 2 years when it blew the main fuse in our house. Both also dribbled horrendously from the steam outlet while the coffee was being made . They look smart, but seem very unreliable. We certainly would not consider buying another Delonghi product.

If you're looking for a machine that offers more control, and features and are willing to invest time and money into your coffee-making experience, Breville is the brand for you. What is the life expectancy of a DeLonghi coffee machine?What is the life expectancy of a De'Longhi Coffee Machine? The average coffee machine lasts about 10 years with proper upkeep. However, De'Longhi's built in cleaning system and scaling fluid allows for an even longer lifespan — if you follow the guide. Are DeLonghi machines reliable?Brand reliability Coffee temperature was generally good for these machines, and they had fewer problems with milk frothing and controls/buttons not working. But DeLonghi wasn't far behind, receiving a very good brand reliability score that was slightly higher than Sunbeam's. What is the pressure on the DeLonghi vintage Icona?The 15 bar pressure feature creates a delicious espresso with a rich aroma and an enticing nut coloured creamy top. With the traditional milk frother, you can manually mix steam and milk to create the perfect density of froth for your favourite milk beverages. |
