Review on ☕ De'Longhi EC702: High-Performance 15 Bar Pump Espresso Maker in Sleek Metal Design by Ivy Guerrero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very small, well built Requires practice and patience

We bought this machine to switch from regular coffee to espresso. Pros: - The machine heats up very quickly - The water tank is big enough to limit constant refilling - The stainless steel construction gives it a strong and durable look - Easy to wipe down and clean - The frother is amazing, heats the milk a lot, very fast and wipes off very easily. You can't apply enough pressure - If you have a decent base, the foam is very light and dissipates very quickly (no latte art here folks), you get hot. - The machine makes about 2 ounces per round (single shot), you MUST be near it to stop it manually or it will keep firing and overflow your cup - you can't put regular sized cups under it, we have cute ones , bought extra small cups and removed the tray to use it this way. Overall I would recommend this machine if you are an advanced espresso drinker. But if you're new to the espresso group, this machine might be a bit more complicated than it's worth. We don't mind wrestling because once you understand what the sweet spot on earth is, coffee comes out rich and delicious, but if you're the kind of person who likes the easy way or brews your coffee in a hurry, if you're late for work, this may not be the machine for you.

Pros
  • Espresso machines
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
