Summary: Delonghi EC460 2008-12-12
Comment: A great espresso maker for the price. The espresso has lots of crema, the milk gets really frothy. Its a pump-driven system and makes a latte that comes pretty close to one made on a coffee house machine.

Summary: Just what I wanted in an espresso machine! 2008-11-12
Comment: After much research, I decided to get the DeLonghi EC460 machine, and am not disappointed. Superb craftsmanship, quick start-up, ease of use, and nice crema made this a winner. I do pre-heat the cups and collection mug in a microwave before filling the mug, just so it will all be warm enough.
My mocha is now as good as the $4 ones I use to buy at You-Know-Where.
I also recommend buying a Terry's Tamper and a 1-cup pyrex mug to get you going.

Summary: Excellent espresso machine for your home or office 2007-06-13
Comment: My wife-to-be and I wanted to start making our favorite espresso drinks at home since buying them each morning from Starbucks made us feel guilty (spending $8/day on coffee = $240/month or $2,880/year ). So we started looking into getting an espresso machine and a nice burr grinder for our home. Since I had worked as the manager of a trendy coffee shop/Bar/Restaurant when I was in college, I was already a skilled Barista. As part of that job I also had to read up on coffee types and the various ways to properly prepare it. This really came in handy as we began to research a massive variety of espresso machines. One thing you will quickly find out is you can't be stingy when it comes to spending cash on your machine (but think of the money you can save by making your own). So I was prepared to spend around $350 for our new machine and I seriously considered the starbucks barista model machine (in that price range). But then we came across the De'Longhi EC-460. The machine didn't have very many reviews but it did have good specs, good looks, and the few reviews I could find were very positive. So we gave it a try. Wow are we glad we did. This machine is awesome all around. It's got great looks (looks far better then models which cost 2x as much). It's got the cup warmer on the top, and an easily washable/removable water reservoir. This machine is ideal for making two beverages at a time (if you need any more than that and will need to make them in a second run). What I mean is that frothing/steaming milk for more than two beverages at a given time won't work very well in this machine so you will have to make your drinks in no more than groups of two's. The machine has excellent components (lots of power) and pulls an awesome shot (with perfect crema). And the steam wand heats fast and is extremely effective (great micro-foam). This machine is quality any way you look at it (without taking the price into consideration). Once you take a look at the price-tag for this machine you find that it's down right amazing. If you are looking for an affordable, quality machine (with really great style) to make tasty espresso at home...I would highly recommend you select this machine (EC-460 model).
