I recently bought the De’Longhi Manual Coffee Machine Stilosa EC260.CR, and it has quickly become a staple in my morning routine. This 15 bar pressure espresso machine is perfect for those who love making coffee at home but don’t want to spend a fortune on a high-end machine.The Stilosa EC260.CR has a sleek cream design that fits nicely in my kitchen. It’s compact yet feels solid and well-made. Setting it up was straightforward, and I was brewing my first cup within minutes.The coffee quality is impressive for a machine in this price range. The 15 bar pressure ensures a good extraction, resulting in rich and flavourful espresso with a nice crema. The cappuccino system works well too, producing perfectly frothed milk for lattes and cappuccinos. I’ve also used ESE pods with this machine, and they work seamlessly, adding convenience when I’m in a rush.One feature I particularly appreciate is the two-level tray. It allows me to use different cup sizes without any hassle. The 1-litre water tank is ample for a few cups of coffee, and it’s easy to refill and clean. The automatic switch-off function is a nice safety feature, giving me peace of mind if I forget to turn the machine off.The only minor downside is that the machine can be a bit noisy when brewing, but this is a small trade-off considering the quality of coffee it produces.Overall, the De’Longhi Stilosa EC260.CR is an excellent manual coffee machine for anyone looking to make barista-quality coffee at home. It’s user-friendly, versatile, and delivers great coffee consistently. Highly recommended for both beginners and coffee enthusiasts who want a reliable and stylish machine.

Bought this after reading positive online reviews. Very easy to use and makes great espresso straight out of the box. Steam wand produces very good foam for latte or cappuccino however there are plenty of tips on YouTube on how to improve performance if you want to pull even better shots or try your hand at latte art. Recommend getting a better tamper as the one supplied is rubbish, and remember to use a fine ground coffee for best results.

After working in hospitality serving frothy coffees and enjoying making them, I thought it was time I owned my very own coffee machine to make special frothy coffees at home! After a lot of researching to find the best basic coffee machine that fulfilled my needs, this one ticked all the boxes! It’s neat, compact and easy to use. It comes with instructions and shows diagrams of how to set it up for the first time and takes minutes to clean too! It makes perfect frothy coffees and only takes about 5 minutes to wait to use the machine too! It makes one coffee in a decent size mug or two mini mugs at the same time. The only downside with this coffee machine is that a big mug won’t fit on top of the drip tray when attaching the portafilter to the machine but you can easily remove the drip tray so not a problem. And the drip tray does come apart into layers so it’s one less thing to wipe after using anyway. I have made teas and hot chocolates too using the steam wand, after finding out you can when reading the booklet, but the water has a plastic aftertaste so I make teas and hot chocolates using the kettle instead. Having the steam wand is the main reason for buying this particular machine to get frothy milk which as you can see in the photos has excellent results! It’s great to add frothy milk to hot chocolates, chai teas to make chai lattes and for frothy coffee of course! If you are looking for a nice looking coffee machine that fits in your kitchen, creates special frothy coffees easily, then look no further! I have tried lavazza ground coffee for this machine. It’s ok but found it’s quite bitter, so won’t need much coffee ground in one scoop. I would definitely recommend you buy this machine if you want that barista experience! All my family and friends love it! Now I enjoy making coffee in the morning 😀 I hope that De’Longhi continue to make such reliable coffee machines!

So this lovely looking machine makes superb espresso, single shot or double. The machine also has the ability to deliver steam or hot water through the directable wand. Beautiful crema on the espresso. I tend to boil a kettle to add water to the espresso if I want a longer coffee as it is quicker but I could just use the wand. After 6 months of daily use, it stopped working, Amazon were amazing, rang up De Longhi for me, De Longi were amazing and picked up the machine within 3 days. There was no fault with it, I had stupidly not got the steam lever fully back into the ‘coffee’ mode….and the machine kept cutting out as a safety feature. I was horrified at my stupidity but the customer service from Amazon and De Longhi was absolutely first rate. So I have no hesitation in recommending this machine…the espressos are superb and of course using the espresso you can create all sorts of other coffees.

Excellent machine for a very reasonable price. Easy to use, from a reputable brand and makes really good coffee. The frother is decent as well although make sure to get a smallish size jug to get the best use out of it otherwise you’ll have a hot mess of milk everywhere!

As I only want to make one or two cups of coffee at most this size machine is good. It is simple but effective. I have seen comments that the coffeee is not warm enough but I find if you run the water first, as recommended, and ensure the green light is on the coffee is hot. I also like the appearance and green colour.
