I'm surprised at some of the ntageive reviews of this product. Perhaps the reviewers ended up with the occasional lemons. I've purchased two of these one I bought for myself, and the other as a gift, and they've worked beautifully. The milk steamer is very effective (but as noted, the wand is a bit short, which would be my only complaint). It would be nice to have a separate bypass switch between brewing and steaming modes, but the lack of one is common in machines in this price range. Overall I'm very happy with mine and have had no problems at all. At the current price, I'd highly recommend purchasing one. If you want more features and better construction, then spend another $100 or more for a steam pump model, but for fast and easy coffee drinks from a functional, affordable machine, this is hard to beat. January 2010 update: It's been over four years since purchasing two of these coffee makers, and both are still going strong. The one I purchased for myself is used almost daily, and still works perfectly.

How long does it take for the machine to warm up before being able to make espresso? I have read some manuals that specify 30 minutes or so, that's CRAZY. One or two minutes is about all I can wait...
"Delonghi combination espresso machine"
I love extra foam on top of my cappuccino. Many machines don't provide adequate frothing ability. Can you assure me that this machine provides this feature? I'm looking forward to your response.
Thank you, Jeanette

I have a Delonghi IFD coffee maker....type: BCO-130T
I would very appreciate to receive from you the french instruction manual. If you don't have the french version, it will be fine to receive at least the english one
Thanks in advance

I am new to your site and making a good espresso- i was looking at the Delonghi Cafe Nero as one to purchase. Do you have an opinion on this choice or new suggestion? Also, note- "the FUNDS are limited!!" thanks ever so much and very excited to get one- Sal
