I had a De'Longhi Espresso machine quite a while ago. It lasted 9 years! I decided to get a more expensive machine thinking it would be better. I switched over to Breville Bambino plus. Nothing but trouble. Every 3-4 months I had to send it back for service. I decided to go back to De'Longhi brand. I am very happy with this purchase. I make an espresso with it every morning and then use a separate milk frother machine. Add them together and I have a beautiful capuccino.

Turned out that I enjoyed espresso more than I thought I might and after a couple weeks of daily use, the Stilosa was just not cutting it. It is not a bad product for $50 or $60 if all you want is an occasional shot. It has a small portafilter that is mostly plastic, you can get about 2 ounces of espresso at a time. IMO, the water heater and pump are both underpowered, however, the steam wand works surprisingly well. I went onto Facebook Marketplace and found a gently used Gaggia Classic Pro for $350 that included lots of expensive accessories. I am within the Stilosa return period, but it is not ethical to return a machine that I used and learned from. Instead, I put it back in the box and will give it to a relative. For me, the Stilosa was a purgatory (so to speak) that was NECESSARY for me to reach 'coffee nirvana' delivered effortlessly by the Gaggia. The difference is night and day. Read full review

Great tasting coffee. No need to go to a coffee shop for an espresso or latte. This thing works great.

After taking the time to research how to use this, and experimenting, I've dialed it in pretty well to where I can make a delicious cappuccino in the comfort of my own kitchen, just the way I like it. I'm very pleased with this machine. And when I drink a delicious homemade cappuccino, I praise the Gods to live on a planet with coffee.

Makes great coffee. It's a little loud and the steamer can be a little finicky if your trying to steam several times. But awesome for price!
