Review on DeLonghi EC155M Espresso Machine Cappuccino by Carlos Burrows

I really wanted to like this device but it doesn't work. I had a DeLonghi/Espresso combo machine and loved it. The espresso machine broke so I figured another Delonghi machine would be just as good. When you turn the knob to start espresso brewing on the ECM155M, the motor makes a loud noise and vibrates. I don't know why the coffee maker is still vibrating let alone such a strong vibration. You must use something heavy to catch the espresso or to hold the container or the machine will shake the container off the platform. The espresso itself does not taste good. It's weak compared to my other car. I tried adjusting the amount of water and other coffees. Even with Italian roasted espresso it still doesn't taste good. I don't grind coffee beans, I buy already ground. I don't know if this affects the quality of the coffee or not, but it shouldn't. I give this machine a thumbs down and do not recommend it.
