I recently bought this coffee machine after replacing a filter machine. The difference between the two is huge. Personally, I've only recently developed a taste for coffee, but it makes some of the best I have ever taster, even compared with some Coffee shops.
Advantages
There are many things while are brilliant about this product. The epsresso It produces contains a strong aroma, and it produces a perfect crema. I prefer to use ground coffee when making mine, as I feel it makes a much better result over all, However, with the version I got it also came with some free Illy pods so I have managed to test those aswell. The Steam arm comes with both a single, and double shot holder for the coffee.
The look of the machine overall is brilliant. The silver produces a stylish machine, even if it does get dirty quite easily. Its also quite small, although make sure you have enough room for it to wobble slightly when making the coffee.
The Coffee also comes with the steamer as you can also see on the picture. It produces perfect steamed milk. The water does take a while to heat up, but I have found that it's not a problem as you can prepare the coffee at the same time. It is also a very easy coffee maker to learn. The drip tray is also very easy to clean.
Disadvantages
There are very few disadvantages with this machine. One problem as I mentioned above is that the silver can get quite dirty of not constantly maintained. Also, the Machine does produce alot of noise. Personally I like the noice as it gives an authentic coffee shop feel, but others may find it a bit too loud. Now, the machine does not allow for a large cup to be placed under the arm. I just make the espresso in a smaller cup and pour it into a larger cup with no problem, although this may be inconvenient for some.
Overall
Overall the machine displays some great features, at a reasonable price. I've never managed to try a more expensive machine like a Gaggia, But it does produce very good coffee.
Advantages: Smooth coffees, machine looks good and has everything built in Disadvantages: Noise levels
I recently bought this machine after my family developed a taste for cappacinno. I chose this machine as it had a clean, modern look, it did not take up much of our precious counter space and it was good value for money.
When it arrived i was very impressed. It was a very good quality product and came with its own Illy ESE pods to start us off. The machine was easy to set up only needing to be plugged in and the water resevoir to be filled.
Using ... ...regular ESE pods so not too expensive to run. The machine has a built in tamper, mug warmer and steamer so provides everything needed. The problem with the machine is the very big noise it makes whilst pumping the water through and whilst using the steamer. The noise means that your morning coffee turns into an alarm call for the rest of the house which may make you unpopular. It is great for producing a few coffees at a time but is very time consuming ...

Advantages: Easy to use and maintain. Create delicious coffee and size is very convenient. Disadvantages: Only make frothed milk for about 2-3 coffees
I have been given this coffee maker for Christmas and I was delightfuly surprised by its look and functionality. The machine looks fabulous and very stylish as it is black and silver with curvy edges which gives it a smooth feel when you work with it. I love the feel of silver and black material which is also easily cleaned and maintained in general. I have never owed a coffee machine before but I am sure I will stick with this one. You can make ... ...on coffees in coffee houses. Coffee machine comes with clear instructions and you are able to make coffee in just 3 steps. I have worked in coffee house before so I always knew it takes some time to make coffee (water doesnt heat in a few seconds, does it?). You simply feel the water container, let it boil, add ground coffee to the filter holder, put your cute espresso cups underneath it and wait for the delicious espresso to fill those together ...

Advantages: well priced, very easy to use Disadvantages: steam arm is temperamental
I bought the Delonghi EC330S after realising I was slowly emptying my bank account paying for numerous Starbucks' every week (even more after they opened one a two minute walk from my flat).
Definite plus point in its appearance, it looks stylish and fits in well in modern kitchens especially.
It does make good coffee, and although you need to warm the machine up, once you're used to doing this it really isn't a hassle.
Although the previous reviewer ... ...either buy coffee beans and a grinder or buy fresh coffee ground for espresso machines, as pods don't really make the most of having a machine such as this.
A disadvantage of having this product are the steam arm is very temperamental and sometimes just doesn't emit much steam (despite being thoroughly cleaned). Also, if you want to make more than 3/4 cups at a time don't bother. It isn't so much the hassle, it's the steam arm - it can't cope with ...

Advantages: Takes Pods as well as Ground Coffee, has removable water tank, great value for money Disadvantages: Won't take a mug, takes a while to warm up, pods not easy to come by
The Delonghi EC330S is very stylish and would look good in any kitchen.
I found the best thing about this machine is that it takes pods as well as ground coffee, and the water tank is removable so no need to take a jug to the tank to fill it up. The cup warmer is a pleasant addition.
I am however disappointed that it won't take a mug, so a large cup is ideal if you want a cappuccino. Also it does takes a while for the machine to warm up, and the ...
