I have the EMK6 now around 15 months to report only positive of the daily espresso and can use. The most important: good Italian espresso powder is transformed by her terrific in black, liquid gold. Since I often alone enjoy a whole load, I use this a normal sized cup of Henkel to above is full (as much for the amount). The Aufbrühdauer I have just tested again: loaded and activated, I get out of the apartment door from the 4th floor to the ground floor newspaper, high with a lift and on arrival kitchen just pröddelt the last coffee in the DeLonghi The unit finished - that's fast!
Now, after just over 1 1/2 years, however, is the classic O-ring over, the machine drops slightly during brewing - but that's I guess a normal wearing part and I try just to find a replacement ring.
4 of 5 stars for the plastic frame which slowly but slightly brown is the coffee - this would be made of glass, could be much better clean it.
On the whole, I would recommend but the device and you come so quickly, energy saving and the purchase price also favorable to a really good espresso :-)
