Delonghi Magnifica 3500- One Great Cup Of Coffee!!! You Won't Regret Buying!!!I bought my espresso machine a little over a year now and have never looked back. It all started when my daughter came to visit and took me to that coffee place(I won't name it but cups are over $5 each!!) and had my first taste of espresso!!!
After also seeing the Alton Brown(good eats) Episode on making espresso yourself started the spark in me to learn about the different espresso machines out there on the retail market(and there are a lot of them). One of the MANY things that led me to the Delonghi Magnifica eam 3500 is the frothed milk feature where instead of frothing a pitcher of milk at a time and wasting whats left, you have a separate container that holds the milk. It detaches and stores in fridge till next cup....a VERY handy feature.
The quality of product and ease of setting different features. The features are all explained in instruction manual. The Delonghi Magnifica 3500 can be somewhat overwhelming but take it slow and keep book close by till you can memorize the most common steps).
The money i am saving alone has earned my cost back already if you figure average $3 bucks a cup compared to the other store (star who???)and no you won't get a cup to taste like theirs but i am pretty close after experimenting with different coffee creamers and sweetners.... The ease of cleaning the inside (which to me should be done every few weeks) and the automatic notifier(which you set to your own water hardness with test strip enclosed)for the descaling process (with fluid you buy separate,(Durgol brand is best)which averages me with my own use at once every 3 to 4 week...and is VERY easy to do(i bought a 4 cup measuring cup which fits under water spout to drain in.....very handy)
Last thing for me to say about the one person looking for o-rings to replace one that broke...I had same one break on my frother and all i did was go to my local hardware store and found that (after searching)that the o-rings used for certain water faucets worked perfectly!!!

Delonghi Magnifica 3500- Great Machine!I love it! Sure it's pricey but I bought it through Amazon with a coupon so the price was less. No filters, a weekly cleaning how easy is this? Plus the coffee grinds benefit your plants. You can use other coffee beans besides espresso. At the moment I am using up my ground coffee, but have used the grinder for beans. The instruction book looks hard but watch the DVD and if you still don't understand call support. They know their information.
