[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a coffee addict and this machine has made my dream come true of having my own espresso/cappuccino machine in my own kitchen. I love learning how to make them myself so I no longer go out as much to buy coffee. Every cup I make comes out delicious and the machine has some nice features like an automatic grinder and built-in frother. Easy to maintain, use and clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I've ever owned an Espresso & Cappuccino machine. I've bought cappuccino's before, but it is definitely funner to make your own. I love this DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso & Cappuccino Machine. It is easy to use after you ready the directions and familiarize yourself with it. You can use coffee beans or ground coffee. I've tried both. They both made great espressos, and cappuccinos. There is a control to change the grind. All kinds of lights that flash, and a few buttons. I do refer to my instructions occasionally when I'm not sure why something is flashing or a new light comes on. The instructions are very clear and detailed. The milk frother works great and is easy to use. You definitely should make the espresso first then froth the milk, it's faster that way. I use this everyday instead of my one cup coffee maker. I'd rather have this. It is so delicious. Every time I walk my the machine I smell coffee, which smells heavenly. It is very easy to clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not very often when you hear someone call a machine beautiful, but WOW! This one is gorgeous! And it is so easy to use. The built in frother is a huge bonus! It is now my bestest buddy...especially in the mornings! I love it!
