At the end of the day you have an automatic espresso, and you don’t have to be at the kitchen sink emptying the coffee pot each time like a manual machine. Once a week you take out the brewing unit, by opening the front do of the machine. I comes out easily when the machine is turned off and rinse under the cold water tap.
You empty your coffee bean waste at your leisure it can hold up to 12 pots of grinds, and empty the drip tray when needed.
Espresso spouts are adustable for differnt size coffee, and you give them a quick wipe if needed.
Each time our use the steam wand your run a little water into a jug and it cleans up for you, easy peasy!
If your buying in the US usually your machine is made in Italy with a 1 year warranty, but depending on how you care for them i have known reviewers to use them for up to 6 years.
It is important not to use dark roasted beans or oily beans but that is important for all automatic bean to brew espresso machines because of the oily residue they can easily,
stick to the side of the grinder. So if you treat your Delonghi well it can last the distance.
