Review on ☕️ DELONGHI ECO310BK Espresso Machine, Compact 10.2 x 9.1 x 11.8 inches, Sleek Black/Stainless Design by Jim Booth

I have been using this machine every day for over 8 years now and it works very well. I have a feeling this won't last forever and I'm looking at the new DeLongia cars. I use this machine several times a day with filtered water. It is used at least a thousand times a year with no problems. I also have a 3 year old cheaper DeLongia at my country house that I bought from Target. All the newer models have a drip tray (handle and saucer) with a coffee cup with a removable filter and a tiny hole in the bottom of the cup which probably contributes to the crema effect. The removable filter tends to fall out when emptying the coffee grounds and end up in the trash with the grounds. The tiny hole in the bottom of the cup gets clogged with ground coffee from time to time and the overpressure in the cup makes a mess because the coffee doesn't get through. This older model has a much better and more reliable cup with a filter that can't accidentally come out and there's no tiny hole for the coffee to leak through. The new pallet handles have 3 eyelets and are not compatible with the old 2 eyelet pallets. I would like to get a newer model with an old cup style, too bad they changed it.
