Title: Saves trips to Starbucks
Review: I recently got my hands on the De'Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso machine, and I must say, it's been a fantastic addition to my mornings, especially when crafting that perfect cappuccino. Here's my in-depth review with all the ups and downs:Positive Remarks:Convenient and Easy to Use: The Stilosa is an absolute breeze to use. Even if you're a complete novice with espresso machines, you'll quickly get the hang of it. The convenience factor here is undeniable; it's a true time-saver.Budget-Friendly Espresso and Cappuccino: Say goodbye to those costly trips to Starbucks! With the Stilosa, you can enjoy the rich flavors of cafe-quality espresso right at home. Not only is it more budget-friendly in the long run, but it's a game-changer when it comes to having your caffeine fix on your terms. We almost always use it to make a cup of cappuccino, and it never disappoints.Impressive Pressure Control: The pressure performance of the Stilosa is truly outstanding. It consistently delivers a superb shot of espresso that's rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. You'll be amazed by the quality of the brew this machine can produce.Negative Remarks:Plastic Construction Feels a Bit Cheap: It's worth noting that some parts of the machine are made of plastic, which can make it feel less sturdy and durable. However, given its affordability, this isn't surprising. It doesn't impact the machine's functionality, but if you're looking for a more premium build, you might have to up your budget.Crema Not Perfect: While the espresso from the Stilosa is great, the crema it produces isn't as thick and luscious as you might find with pricier models. It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but if you're a crema connoisseur, you might be a bit disappointed.In summary, the De'Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso machine is an excellent choice for home baristas on a budget. It's super convenient, cost-effective, and provides exceptional pressure control for your espresso shots and cappuccinos. Keep in mind that the plastic components and the crema might not be top-tier, but considering the price, it's a small sacrifice for the overall value you get. Whether you're an espresso enthusiast or just someone looking to elevate their daily coffee game, the Stilosa won't disappoint, especially when you love cappuccinos as much as we do!

Title: I have the answers to your questions. ~Now updated~ see bottom.
Review: * I only rate exceptional products 5 stars.* This espresso machine meets my exceptional standard.* Price/function ratio is unbeatable.* Good for everyone except those brewing commercial amounts of coffee.Due to the length of this review and the sake of brevity, I will label each section for easy reference.SUMMARYWill this machine brew a cafe quality coffee drink right out of the box? Yes, but with major caveats.WHY I BOUGHT THIS MACHINEMoney. Plain and simple. I wanted an espresso machine that wasn’t $500+. I just don’t have the money. I set out to buy what I thought was the very cheapest functional espresso machine to find out if it would in fact produce an espresso that was worth it. The Stilosa is it. You can’t go cheaper, once you do that, the machines offered don’t work at all, I mean, at all. They don’t have consistent pressures, temperatures and flow rates. So please, don’t waste your money on the $59.00 versions. At the time of posting, I bought the Stilosa at $99.00 on sale.INTRODUCTIONWhen I purchased this, I knew nothing about espresso. I just wanted a good coffee drink without spending, what is now, $7.00 a cup. Since then, I have learned everything about espresso and have almost a 100 hours of study and practice in. Through lots of trial and error, I have taught myself the intricacies of espresso brewing, and believe me, it is far more intricate than you think! I also found out that many of the terms are vague and far from universal. With that said, most of what I will write aligns with as much of a community standard as one exists.CAVEAT #1The truth is simple. This machine will brew a cafe quality drink right out of the box because “most” cafes have horrible drinks. I have discovered that brewing espresso is a fine balance between science and art. The major chains actually have very expensive machines and they still brew disgusting coffee. I have read so many reviews, and the one thing that is consistent throughout all of them is this; purists (the French and Italians), and anyone who has had a good espresso, won’t even go to the major chains. This is why. Lemon juice is disgusting! But pair it with sugar and you have probably one of the most popular drinks on the planet, lemonade. Likewise, most of us hate extra dark chocolate, because it is really bitter, but blend it with milk, and surprise, you have one of the most popular deserts, milk chocolate! Sugar balances sour, and dairy balances bitterness. What this means is this. You could run sand through the Stilosa, and if you blend it with enough sugar and milk, it is difficult to differentiate between it and major chain’s coffees. It isn’t until you start drinking espresso straight that you notice how horrific most of it is. To test this, just go in and ask for a double shot, chances are it will be bitter or sour. If you don’t know, espresso is actually very balanced and often velvety and sweet on its own. So, will the Stilosa brew a really good espresso right out of the box with no other tools? No, but…… neither will a $5,000.00 machine. Which leads me to caveat #2.CAVEAT #2It doesn’t matter what machine you buy, none of them will take bad coffee and make it good. Again, I wanted to buy a machine as cheap as possible, with no accessories, and see if I could get a good espresso. Sorry, if you are on a budget, it’s not gonna happen. No matter what your budget is, you have to have a grinder. As soon as you are forced into buying pre-ground coffee roasted 10 weeks ago, you will only get what those products are able to deliver, regardless of the price of your espresso machine. My suspicion is, this is why major brands have such bad coffee. In the pursuit of supply chain uniformity, they lose freshness. Crema is a function of the release of CO2, once ground, these gases are escaping. It is simple science. Even with the best vacuum packaging, pre-ground coffee will lose its ability to create crema in a couple days (if not less). Combine that with stale beans and there is nothing you can do to make good coffee. Imagine trying to make a great sandwich with expired stale bread and cheese. Ingredients matter. You have to have a grinder. I didn’t want one, but I was forced to buy one, otherwise my espresso machine was just going to sit there, unused. This is of course if you don’t want to dump a bunch of sugar and milk in. I spent $50 on an Enzoo conical burr grinder, and it works great. You may say, “what about just grinding your beans at the grocery store?”. tried that, several times, it doesn’t work. First of all, those machines are all out of spec because nobody every maintains them. Second, every coffee is different and “dial in” needs to happen for each brand and roast of coffee. Third, you will buy a 8 or 10 oz bag of coffee and grind it all at once but you’ll never use it all at once. The next morning, your coffee is already starting to go stale.The good news is this. If you have a $1000.00 espresso machine, you still need a grinder. So at least you can buy the Stilosa and have an overall lower financial commitment.CAVEAT #3It is impossible to get a fantastic espresso without adding some tools to the Stilosa. This is not so bad considering the price point of the Stilosa, because, once again, you will have to buy all that anyway regardless of the machine you purchase. This is only the case if you buy an espresso machine and not a bean to cup machine of course. If you don’t want to mask your espresso with sugar and milk, you will need the following things without exception;Grinder = $50-$75Kitchen Scale = $15-$35Not necessary but very helpful and time saving;WDT = $10-$30Dosing Funnel = $10-$35Tamping Tool = $10-$65Espresso shot glasses VariesPuck Polishers Blah blahNon-pressure Portafilter $$$$ priceyAnd the list goes on.This is where espresso making turns into more of a hobby than just wanting a good cup. The accessories that come with the Stilosa will work, they don’t work great, but they will work. What you trade in money, you lose in time. You can still get a really good cup of coffee (this is only if you have a grinder and a scale) from the Stilosa with its accessories, but you will work for it. The last 5% of quality is always the hardest, and that’s where the upgrades come. If you want, budget a few things. Namely a bottomless, naked, Portafilter, with a non-pressurized filter basket. The Stilosa comes with a Portafilter and 2 pressurized filter baskets (7 gram + 14 gram). ~ Side Note Below ~ ~ The Stilosa has a very unique and interesting pressurized filter basket. More often, to maintain pressure, a pressurized filter basket will only have one hole in the bottom. The Stilosa actually has a spring driven piston that really works very well. This is an industry upgrade and I think more and more economy machines will come with this feature. You can also “hack” the filter basket if you wanted. You can remove the spring piston assembly, place the screen back in the basket, and have a non-pressurized basket. I would NOT recommend this as it probably voids your warranty. ~CAVEAT #4The price to function ratio of the Stilosa is incredible. But that is a ratio. More expensive machines give you things that this just won’t. You will not be able to watch or change; temperature profiles or pressure profiles, and it doesn't have a PID (proportional–integral–derivative controller), and frankly a bunch of other things you probably have never heard of. But the Stilosa has fantastic features for the price point. It has a very flat and consistent pressure profile, its group head is heated, as is the top of the machine (for heating your cup), and the steaming wand is amazing. It is also a nice size and fits very well on my counter without being overbearing. Unless you are making 100+ cups a day, you really don’t need all that other stuff. Of course, those things are nice if you have found yourself turning espresso into a hobby, but as we all know, hobbies get kind of expensive. My only substantial complaint about the Stilosa is this, there is no way to grab and hold it as you install and remove the Portafilter. I am strong enough that this isn’t a problem, but for others out there, this may be a bit of a challenge.SUMMARYFive stars all day long. This is the single best entry machine you can buy. It is backed by a major espresso machine manufacturer and they hit the mark. It will consistently produce a “better than cafe” espresso, it will just make you work for it. Paired with a good grinder, you will be able to play with all your ratios and pull Ristrettos, Espressos, and Lungos without issue. It heats fast (a little over a minute on cold mornings), has a really nice upgraded spring piston pressurized filter basket. Consistently makes “better than cafe” micro foam for latte art (with practice). You can easily upgrade the Portafilter to a bottomless one without issue. No automatic timing, which is what you want for proper pulls (time is a measure, not a variable). It is advertised that it has an auto shut off……. I haven’t see that yet. I just turn mine off after use. I also fill it with filtered, bottled water, it’s so much easier than removing the tank and filling it. Considering I have less than $200.00 in the whole setup, I couldn’t be happier. With good coffee, a good dial in, and lots of practice, you will be able to make a really good cup of coffee, better than the major chains. I would buy again in a heartbeat.THE “CATCH”This will take you to a whole new level, but you are going to earn it. Lots of frustrating moments, but ultimately very rewarding. If you just want a fast cup of coffee, don’t buy this. Go buy a pod machine like Nespresso, LOR, or Lavazza. Remember, these aren’t espresso machines, and just because they call it that, doesn’t make it true. But with that said, their coffees are moderately good. For about the same total investment, you can get milk “frothers” and a pod machine that will make your drink in 20 seconds. Dump enough sugar and milk in and you won’t know the difference. But they will never dial into the perfect, pure, crema topped, 1-2 ratio, pressure pulled, espresso. And once you have had that, you’ll never go back.Some helpful info:51mm 2 ear Portafilter with a 7 gram and 14 gram filter basket.~ most machines are 54mm or 58mm with 18 gram baskets. As a small side note, 7 grams was the original Italian single espresso, and can be very difficult to brew correctly. But less coffee means you can have more of it throughout the day!Steaming wand with Pannello attachment.Heated top for cup warming.Heated grouphead.33+ oz water tank.~ UpdateI stand by everything I have said. However, I decided to upgrade to a bottomless naked portafilter and that has changed everything. The dial in on a new coffee is so much easier and the crema and flavor of the coffee is so much easier to manipulate!The other big thing I have discovered is the perfect coffee. Do yourself a favor and go get Tony’s Upland blend. Brew it to a 2.7 ratio at roughly 27 seconds. Oh…. My….. Gosh…..! You’re welcome.

Review: This is a nice little unit that will make a decent espresso drink. Build is mostly plastic but seems to be well put together. The frother works very well and there are 2 size filters, 1 can conveniently sit inside the compartment when not in use. The cup clearance is pretty low, so be aware of that, but the tray can be removed to add a little more. Overall, pretty happy to have an authentic De'Longhi at this price point. Pays for itself in no time if you don't have to go to a coffee shop every time. Happy brewing.

Review: I received a faulty machine and Cart2Globe did not replace it in India. They also do not give a warranty card, which is required to repair the machine in India. I wasted INR 25,000 on it and there was no accountability from the seller. Buy it at your own risk in India, at least. Really disappointed.
