DeLonghi Stilosa Manual Coffee Machine Black

Very affordable - at the cheapest end of coffee machines (cheaper than many pod machines). Brews shop quality coffee - but you will need a conical burr good grinder (which can be more expensive than this coffee machine!) and a decent tamper (the plastic tool provided with the machine is useless). Not fuss, easy to clean milk steamer (much easier to maintain than a frother unit). Have used daily for over 6 months, at least 2 cups a day. Other optional tools to get would be a knockbox, grinds brush and portafilter funnel. Have tried a bottomless filter, but not much noticeable difference as the supplied unit is not pressurised (just enclosed).
