The DeLonghi EC 680.M is a beautiful small machine that can be well accommodated in the kitchen. The unit is well made, nothing looks cheap or shaky. The manual is clear and detailed. Unlike other statements Rezenssionen programming the quantity keys is explained. The programming of the temperature setting is explained. Furthermore, the manual deals intensively with the topic "frothing milk." Seems to be a science in itself, I have not done, I do not need so drigend. The machine has three screen inserts. To prepare a cup or two cups per a strainer and a third application for the use of ESE pods. The filter holder is easy to screw into the machine. Although the machine is narrow, you need the foot to hold just a little in order to prevent tipping. But that is the physics owed and the manufacturer can not be changed (keyword: lever laws :-)). The unit is quickly einsazbereit and works quite quiet. The espresso tastes great and I must say for the price is just right for me in terms of price, design and performance. I can only recommend the machine.
