Review on DeLonghi EC155M Espresso Machine Cappuccino by Damon Fields

Revised 4 star rating from before. I've had my kettle for a month now and it's already broken. A few weeks ago, the steam nozzle started leaking constantly, causing my countertop to get wet. Then the filter holder no longer snaps into place. They're replacing it, so I'll see if it was just a defective unit. But multiple issues at once a month is definitely a red flag. Some tips when buying this device: 1. Buy small espresso cups. A 2 ounce glass is almost too big.2. Buy a separate tamper. But try not to cram in too much coffee.3. Buy a good meat grinder. 4. Buy a small jug to froth milk.5. Buy a knockout box. It's impractical to clean the base by scraping it, and you can dent the holders if you hit them on a hard surface.
