I hesitated to buy this product reading the various comments Customers who were totally different from each other. For the 1st time my order was delivered several days late but in impeccable package. I put it on and immediately placed on a perfectly level work plan and I think it is very important for stability. Actually in use, the machine not in possession of suction feet, vibrates but not holding or retaining the cups. The first week of burnt plastic smell emanated from the Delonghi EC150 Espresso Machines 1100 W 15 bars, but no taste in coffee. The coffee was quite average, so I was really disappointed. As the days the odor is gone and the coffee and become more and more correct and today I say it's even good. I only used as ground coffee and not yet tested with pods. In conclusion I am glad I persisted a few days before returning my purchase and I recommend the Delonghi EC150 Espresso Machines 1100 W 15 bars to all lovers of good "kahwa"
