(What's this?)
I'm a big fan of the coffee I have when I go to Spain, I go for a month and the enjoy drinking amazing espressos and cappuccinos, I don't like a bland cup of instant. I own a Mr. Cappuccino Espresso Maker Mr. Cappuccino Espresso Maker which is good at filter coffee but never quiet the cup of coffee I long for.
The De'Longhi looked like it may do the job with the espresso selection.
The Filter coffee part is easy to use, there are two water tanks one for the filter and one for the espresso, you fill them (both removable, plonk a bit of coffee in to the filter (doesn't need filters), and switch the big button on, out comes the coffee, good and quickly much quicker than my other coffee machine. You can set it from Strong to light coffee, perfect. If you want hot frothy milk there is an frothing arm which works fine, only moan is the machine doesn't come with a jug for the milk.
My first coffee was good, a slight adjustment to the strength and the second was very good.
The espresso part isn't as straight forward to use, the instructions are okay but not brilliant, once worked out It worked fine and made a very good coffee, If you add hot frothy milk to the espresso I reckon I'm 90% near to my Spanish coffee. I haven't tried the Pods that can be used with the espresso part such as Izzo Grand Espresso Paper Pods E.S.E. Gaggia. DeLonghi. Izzo Grand Espresso Paper Pods E.S.E. Gaggia.DeLonghi., I've ordered the ones on the link, there are a vast amount on the web and it is not clear which ones will fit.
Build is very good, yes there is a lot of plastic but unless you are paying lots of money that is what you get. It is an excellent machine , I've given 4 stars rather than five as I wish it had a milk jug plus the espresso part is not as easy as the filter part.
Would I recommended? Yes, it's probably better than some of the higher priced machines.

We were sent this as a replacement for a BCO255 which had been working well until it developed a couple of faults after only a couple of months' use (faulty run off switch and leaking) and couldn't be replaced as it was obsolete. Generally this new machine performs well and my only two gripes are; that the milk frother is all plastic and only sticks out at 45 degrees in one position meaning you can't get a very large receptacle under it. The frother on our previous model was rather more flexible (plus the arm was metal and more robust) so I don't know why they changed the design. Also the coffee filter arm has this little clip which is supposed to hold the coffee filter in place while you turn it upside down to get rid of the used coffee, but in practise it's so fiddly to hold and tap the coffee out at the same time, and doesn't do the job - well not for me anyway!
An improvement is the permanent filter instead of having to use filter papers. It's rather large and plasticky looking but I suppose at the price this is what you get - it makes a decent cup of coffee though.
Updated - after less than two months' use this machine has been returned for repair, due to a leak from the boiler outlet!

The filter coffee machine is one of the best available; the coffee is brewed to perfection and kept warm, without damaging the flavour. The fact no filter papers are needed is a great advantage, however this does provide a challenge when emptying the grounds without getting them down sink.
The espresso machine uses a separate water tank, whilst not as good as some dedicated espresso machines it is a great addition; giving a truly flexible coffee machine. The milk frothing attachment is very good and can produce some nice high density frothed milk for a perfect cappuccino.
This is an update of a previous model, the decision to use removable water tanks for both espresso machine and filter machine, the previous model used a removable tank for the espresso machine only. The removable tank in my previous model had problems with a leaking tank made me very cautious of this continuation, however this has not been a problem and the tanks seem to work perfectly.
Overall this is a great all-round coffee maker, I use it fairly extensively at work both for personal use and to make coffees for visitors.
