Review on De'Longhi EC685M Dedica Deluxe Espresso Machine with Automatic Features, Metallic by Adam Shuler

I've had this machine for 6 months and am very happy with it. Let me pour the tea. So many of the negative reviews are half true; Yes, the machine will give an overheating warning after two cups of coffee. But you solve problems very quickly just by running the machine with water for 5 seconds. Yes, the machine does give a descaling warning after a few months, but you can just turn it off or just ignore it (it doesn't really change, except for the color of one of the buttons, that's all). I use Brita water so I don't descale the machine. Otherwise it works great. The coffee is amazing. The car has a stylish design. Temperature is good and adjustable. The cappuccinatore works great and is easy to clean (clean before and after, wipe with a tissue, done). Hasn't given me any problems until now. The only problem I have is that it doesn't work if the coffee is ground very finely. And sometimes I get or buy coffee that is very good. That's my only problem. But it's not worth buying a $1,000 espresso machine.
