I have the same machine, a little older. I have no worries about the maintenance of the cup because the platform is plastic. If not, it's the same model whose shape is less square. For 2 years, I am satisfied and my next will be the same. Very robust, very economical because I do not put the espresso pod but I pout myself. The coffee is excellent and sparkling. I do not often I use the steam system runs however fine. Only complaint, the machine is manual and do not forget to cut the end of the cycle. I get 2 small cups or large. I use this machine 20 times in the day for 2 years and I have never had a problem. It is very simple, so no breakdown. The only problem is the price, 2 years ago, I paid 49 euros and I see that it is now worth about 80 euros, this is excessif.Delonghi - BCO 260 - Coffee + Espresso Filter - 1 2 L - Black - Manual
