Review: Very happy with this - I'm new to making espresso myself, but an inveterate espresso snob. (Lived in Italy, now live in the SF Bay Area and have been spoiled for many years with artisan freshly roasted coffee pulled by masterful baristas.) I was excited about starting to pull my own shots, but had low expectations both of an entry level manual machine and of my own capabilities. I have to say, this machine has been absolutely delightful, and this is much easier than I thought. My first shots of espresso were delicious enough to sip straight. I have no desire to ever again drive somewhere and wait in line to pay $7 for an espresso drink. I have no complaints whatsoever about the espresso or the milk. In the weeks I've had it it's been very easy to make drinks just as good as the drinks at the top tier fancy ass roaster and cafe where I buy my beans. My sweetheart is in raptures with my lattes. I bought my own tamper (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), and a milk frothing jug as that's not included. Tamper came with a dosing funnel, which I like using (although wouldn't say it's crucial). Buying a knockbox next. Suggestions: Experiment with timing to see what tastes best to you. Taste your espresso black. Just a sip if you don't prefer straight coffee, but you need to know what the base of your drinks is really like in order to make excellent drinks. Well made espresso from good beans should be tart but not bitter, and never ashy or burned. Read the manual. If you don't read the manual, know that you need to pull all your shots before you froth milk, because you need to let the machine cool off after frothing milk or your next shot can be burned. Buy decaf beans too, so you can drink more coffee, and experiment with it more. And most importantly: always, always buy the fancy ass coffee beans. Freshly roasted ( within 3-5 days!), high quality. (I also want fair trade and organic). If you don't live by a roaster, buy beans green and toast them yourself! It's a whole hobby. Coffee starts to go stale days after it's roasted. Two weeks out is like old bread compared to fresh. And always grind your beans just before you make your drink. Another reviewer complained about crema with this machine. Not a concern if you have the right beans and the right grind! Thick and luscious. Anyway, this machine sold me on home espresso drinks! It's small enough for my tiny kitchen, makes stellar espressos and cappuccinos and lattes when fed good beans, and doesn't feel like something I need to upgrade anytime soon now that I'm into doing this.
Review: Buy if Willing to Put in the Effort - This is a review of De'Longhi Stilosa Espresso Machine Bottom line up front: Good beginner espresso machine at the sale price of $85. If you are willing to dip your toe in the espresso making waters at home and you have the time and patience, buy it. If you want a quick, hassle-free cup of joe, look elsewhere (I’m thinking drip, pour over, Nespresso, etc.). desertcart shipping: desertcart shipped it in its original box with a shipping label slapped on it. This arrived on the front porch, so beware. De’Longhi’s packaging was good. The machine was packaged in a pasteboard inside the box making it recyclable (no styrofoam). The good: It does what it says. I have not previously made any espresso drinks. I have about two weeks of experience and it makes espresso. Follow the directions (more on direction in “the bad”), use espresso coffee and you’ll get an acceptable shot of espresso (see learning section). The milk frother works after some practice. This machine is manual. You start the flow of water and then you stop the flow of water. You switch to steam and use the switch on the side to froth your milk. This is good because you are in control. The bad: Well it requires some education on how to make espresso and what exactly a shot of espresso is and a cappuccino recipe.The directions are kind of IKEA-ish with pictures and a sparse number of words. The machine is manual and you have to learn to use it and pay attention as you use it. I am apparently a messy barista. I find it necessary (maybe I”m obsessive compulsive) to thoroughly clean the machine every time I use it. This is a bit more intense than the directions that say to clean out the portafilter and clean the frother each use with thorough cleaning being every 200 or so shots. Overall, a Nespresso machine would be much easier. What I did: I’ve had this machine for about two weeks and have used it for about 10 mornings. The first morning my lovely wife dumped her cappuccino out and went for the keurig. I had some issues this day using the frother and ended up with very watered down steamed milk. The second morning I used the Cappuccino cups (2.9 ounces, kitchenables available here on desertcart). Packed the double shot portafilter and made two nice, small cappuccinos. Then on the third day, I moved to a larger cup. I made my wife a decaf cappuccino in an 8 ounce mug using a double shot (2 ounces) of espresso, steamed milk and froth to fill the mug. Again, this was dumped out. I made myself a lungo using the double shot portafilter and filled a 12 ounce mug about half way. Mine was tasty and I drink my coffee black, in general. About the third day I was getting the cappuccino thing down. Double shot of espresso, equal amount of steamed milk (by volume) and equal amount of froth (1 part espresso, 1 part steamed milk, 1 part froth). This amounted to about two-thirds of the 8 ounce mug. What kind of coffee did I use? I bought a bag of the Gevalia Espresso Dark Roast and a can of Illy ground coffee espresso Classico Decaf Roast. Learning: It seems that a shot of espresso is one ounce and a double shot is two ounces. I got this information from Google search. You need to keep this in mind as you are making your espresso as this is how the two portafilters are sized. I also used google to find the cappuccino recipe and saw some other espresso recipes (americano, latte, flat white, lungo). Also I still need to experiment with different coffee brands. I have no intention of going all out to grind my own and weigh the beans.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the diameter size of the filter cups in mm?**
A: I don’t think it is 51, I have a 51mm filter screen and tamper, and they are not fit, it should be 53mm

**Q: Why are my espressos watery and not hot enough any suggestions**
A: If your espresso is "watery" then likely you're either not using a proper espresso ground. Don't yuse just any coffee, espresso grounds are very fine and made specifically for espresso... also make sure to compress it using a tamper, dont over do it... about 15 - 20 pounds of pressure on the tamper is fine.

**Q: Is there a way to do automatic shut off when making an expresso or do I have to manually shut off the machine?**
A: Manually shut it off. there is no timer on the machine for automatic shut off

**Q: How long does the first rinse cycle take?**
A: If you mean the pre-wash before first  use, you run two volumes of water from the reservoir through. The reservoir holds one liter of water so you empty that 2 times, taking about five to ten minutes. That primes the pump and cleans out any manufacturing residue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best little machine ever
*by A***E on August 11, 2026*

Going on 4 years of this little espresso machine that still makes perfect crema shots with the perfect pressure and perfect temperature just like it did day one. I love how basic it is and easy to use with just a couple knobs and a couple options. Has a small footprint on my counter and the water reservoir is easy to access and refill. The machine is built very solid yet lightweight. Just don't pack the portafilter too tight or grind your beans too fine and it pulls perfect, creamy shots every time. The tamper works great (even though it's plastic, don't listen to people who say you have to get a metal one). Can clean easily by running white vinegar and water thru it. Have never had to replace anything. I purchased some double walled espresso glasses and a nice metal frothing pitcher to go with it. That's all I've needed for almost 4 yrs and going strong. Highly recommend this little engine that could. I got mine almost 4 yrs ago on black friday for $99.
