We have that DeLonghi machine at work and I’ve been quite surprised with it. Here’s a few observations:
-It pulls pretty good shots with supermarket coffee. You can’t do that with a ‘proper’ espresso machine, because you’ll just end up with a large cup of bitter brown water.
-It slightly surprisingly pulled a great shot with that light roast from YB that we all struggled with a while back. I couldn’t get that coffee to work at all in my Classic.
-It can’t handle very fine grind, big dose or a heavy tamp, however. I don’t know what the pump pressure is but I don’t think it’s very high.
-The basket is also tiny, I don’t think Hoffmann would have got 18g in it. Maybe 15g tops.
-It’s a fixed shot size and quite short duration.
-I haven’t used it for milk but it’s a panarello wand so it’ll be thick Starbucks cappuccino style froth. -
or a Europiccola
Lol, this was my exact thought watching it!

Hoffman's sub 500GBP espresso machine review is up. Not particularly enamored by any of them and it just makes me want a Robot even more... or a Europiccola for that matter.
