Good solid budget price espresso coffee machine. From the reviews, the build quality can be a bit shaky, but this one seems fine. Gets a good workout every morning and no complaints from the recipient yet!

We’ve had a delonghi espresso machine for years now and it’s been a very reliable part of our morning routine/hosting friends and family. Was finally able to upgrade and this is what we chose; a BEAUTIFUL sage green newer version of our old machine. It’s SO lovely, I love the fact you have space to hide the spare filters in the machine itself. The water tank is smaller than previous but again much neater and hidden so looks super smart.
It makes a really lovely cappuccino, I ran it through with just water twice before making a coffee. Definitely worth taking the time to do this so one doesn’t taste any unpleasant new plasticky/metallic flavours. It’s easy to use and very intuitive, has cleaning instructions on stickers inside which is helpful. Froths milk well and both coffee and milk come out nice and hot. Material feels easy to clean too which is great. Nice weight to it and all feels very secure. Filters have a screw system to be able to remove themselves filter from the coffee arm thing which is super handy!
The colour is just stunning!! Our old one was a dark grey, totally fine but nothing remarkable and could make the kitchen feel a bit dark. I’ve become slightly obsessed with the warm and light that sage gives as a colour so when I saw this machine now came in that it was a no brainer! We are currently doing up our kitchen so this will match the new colour scheme perfectly.
The only thing that was not great was the delivery driver left it on the doorstep without even bothering to ring the door bell or knock. Luckily we could see him coming so was able to quickly bring it in but imagine if we had been out! It was just in its box with see through plastic covering so very obvious with what it was: the machines aren’t cheap and very light so would be very easy to steal if an opportunist spotted it. One star removed as a result. Delivery was however super fast as I ordered it yesterday and it was here this morning.

The first shipment I received was opened, so I asked for a replacement. I like the machine. My parents 20 year old machine broke and they wanted a replacement, and this one is very similar to their old one. I really like the removable tank. I also like how small it is. For whatever reason, the dimensions aren’t written here, but my father was able to find them on the company website.

I just tried to make coffee for the first time and it tasted quite good even if I’m not an espresso connoisseur, it was a bit of trouble going through the initial cleaning process as the water took a while to pour out but after all it seemed to go fine, definitely has a learning curve to try to get the best coffee out of it but I was happy enough with it and the taste even without knowing what I’m doing! Now I hope it will last us a long time, it does feel a bit flimsy, like the material and froth wand.

J’aime le café mais je ne suis pas un amateurs averti. Cette cafetière simple me convient parfaitement. Café chaud, mousse de lait facile à obtenir, facile à entretenir. Bref parfaite pour mes besoins. Testée avec différents cafés moulus et ese, café excellent.

Pour le nombre d’expresso que je réalises sur une journée, cette petite machine totalement manuelle est parfaite. Je consomme, en fonction des visites familiales ou amicales, de 3 à 12 expressos par jour. C’est son usage qui permettra de voir sa réelle résistance à l’utilisation dans le temps. Ma Delonghi Magnificat, machine entièrement automatique, a tout de même vécu 15 ans !

I recently purchased the De’Longhi Stilosa EC260.GR Manual Espresso Machine in the elegant sage green color, and it has been a delightful addition to our kitchen. The machine’s compact design fits seamlessly on our countertop, and its aesthetic appeal complements our kitchen decor beautifully.
Functionally, the Stilosa is user-friendly, making it ideal for both beginners and those with some experience in espresso making. The 15-bar pressure system consistently produces espresso with a rich aroma and a satisfying crema. The manual milk frother allows for customization, enabling me to craft lattes and cappuccinos to my preferred taste and texture.
One feature I particularly appreciate is the two-level cup tray, which accommodates various cup sizes—a thoughtful touch for those who enjoy different coffee styles. The removable water tank and drip tray make cleaning straightforward, ensuring maintenance is hassle-free.
While the machine doesn’t include a built-in grinder, using pre-ground coffee or ESE pods has been convenient and still yields excellent results. For those looking to explore the world of home espresso without a significant investment, the Stilosa offers exceptional value and performance.
Overall, the De’Longhi Stilosa EC260.GR combines style, functionality, and affordability, making it a fantastic choice for anyone eager to enjoy café-quality coffee at home.

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.
