Good Points
Stylish machine. Simple to operate. Produces great espresso and cappuccino coffees quickly and easily.
Bad Points
Steam runs out when frothing milk for more than 6 cups (3 cycles), but this is not a big problem - if more coffees are required, the boiler can be re-primed with water using the pump and allowed to build up heat again.
General Comments
I bought this DeLonghi EC330S Espresso Machine as a replacement for the Krups XP4020 which I returned within 2 days as the steam flow died during frothing. The Delonghi is a much better machine for producing cappuccinos (produces good froth) - recommended.
