De'Longhi Stilosa Espresso Machine

This manual espresso machine is really quite good, and the build quality is what I expect from De Longhi. After using a De Longhi Super Automatic Magnifica for years, it finally expired and I didn't want to spend to directly replace it. The Stilosa model popped up in a Walmart add at a really good price and since I know and trust the maker, I decided to give it a try. OK, so its completely manual...that will take getting used to, but it was really easy to set up and in no time I had my first cup of espresso. If you really love strong espresso, consider a different machine. You can control the volume of water passed through the portafilter and the machine comes with 2 inserts single or double shots, hence the strength of the espresso to your taste. Cleaning is a breeze, and filling the water reservoir is simple as pouring water.
