Seems to work fine for me. What a deal. I just bought a BCO 70 coffee maker at our local thrift store for $5.00 because they said the steamer didn't work. Now I have two espresso machines, one in the house and one in my garage/workshop.
When or if my machine breaks, I'll be replacing it with this same model: DeLonghi BCO70 Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar We use the espresso side about 4-6 times per month and never had a problem with it. I purchased this model from Fry's in 2002 and today I'm still enjoying my morning cup of joe today like I have for 7 days a week for 7 years. There have been some issues like the water leaking out of the basket, but the fix for that is to clean the spray hole and the problem went away. We get our coffee green and roast it at home and this coffee maker has been the best brewer, spoken from a true coffee snob.:) When I saw the low star rating, I had to provide my review to show that there are some longer lasting models out there.
The knobs to adjust the how strong of coffee you want didnt turn. This was really a waste of money. So basically I paid [.]. when I received it in the mail I was really excited. It doesn't have a timer on it so when you wake up in the morning the coffee is already ready.
isnt bad. The espresso part of the machine didnt work. It just looks nice in my kitchen. It doesn't have anything special about it. I bought this product about a month ago because I really enjoy coffee and I thought an espresso/cappuccino maker [.].
About a week later was the first time that I actually had time to use it. for just a regular coffee maker.
The fill tank is convienent and clean up is a breeze. I loved mine so much I purchased the second one as a birthday present for my daughter. I have not had any problem pouring with this machine nor has any thing broken and I use it every day, This is the second exact coffee maker I purchased. I love to have a coffee lattee every morning and this maker provides that with ease. I don't drink expresso so this part of my machine has never gotten used.
I can say 6 months of the local coffee shop costs will be saved if you buy this and use it at home. I bought a new one of these and discovered that DeLonghi listened. The heating element finally went out. It does not drip out as the water does in cheaper models. They have fixed the caraffe that dripped so badly.
This is one product that you definitely get what you pay for. I purchased a less expensive one and hated it. This coffee pot is great. I am happy to say this company listened to the consumer. My original coffee pot was purchased for me 6 years ago.
On the steamer side I heat my water to use as steam for hot cocoa or a latte and can use it as I need to.
