DeLonghi EC702 review : I bought this to replace a Mr. low Espresso Machine that died at intervals a couple of months. I specifically needed a machine with a decent steam wand for lattes since i’m not an admirer of espresso on its own. I originally bought a DeLonghi Cappuccino maker but had to come it as a result of (heh) I required a extended steam wand for my purposes.
This is a great machine for the price – i was daunted by the Ikea-like instructions initially, but once you get everything got wind of and running, it is a fast and simple process every morning. It makes great espresso and encompasses a terribly effective steam wand that creates some crazy, velociraptor noises but creates a pleasant foam.
It is way easier and quicker to clean than my Mr. Coffee, and i love that you just can take away and wash all of the steam wand elements. i recommend buying a tamper and steaming pitcher for your purposes, but it comes with descaling solution, which was a pleasant bonus.
I highly advocate this for anyone who’d like great espresso drinks at home and needs a decent steam wand.

DeLonghi BCO120T review : As I will see with other reviews, I had the same downside with water leaking from rock bottom. The machine isn’t too bad; it brews pretty fast and did work well for a minute. However, it appears that this leaking downside is sort of common and you may find yourself replacing this machine too quickly.
