The DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine: A Great Espresso Machine for Under $100
The DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine provides irrefutable evidence that you can make a great cup of espresso with a machine that costs less than $100. Hard to believe, but true.
The secret to the delicious tasting, créma-topped espresso that this machine makes is that it uses a pump, and not steam, to force heated water under pressure through the ground coffee. This is the same method, and makes espresso at the same level of pressure, as that employed by espresso machines that cost 10 times as much.
The DeLonghi EC155 is a semi-automatic espresso machine. This means that that the user must control certain aspects of the brewing process. But that allows the user to adjust and control the strength and flavor of their espresso. Customized in other words.
The DeLonghi EC155 espresso machine doesn’t have a long list of bells and whistles like a fully automatic espresso machine has. But that’s OK. It has all of the essential features necessary to make a tasty espresso, cappuccino, or latte. And you wouldn’t expect a lot of fancy features on a machine costing less than $100. If it did I would be very suspect.
