This is one good espresso machine... got this and was just wondering why people need expensive coffee making gadgets. This froths better , just change the portafilter and the plastic tamper...stopped buying coffees from cafes.. u dont need fancy coffee machinery to make coffee unless u are in it as a business. It is a great machine... mine is some weeks old...Happy

I tried something similar last year with a Kmart espresso machine. What I found with the Kmart machine was that the group head screen did virtually nothing to spread the water flow and it was always channeling. To fix that Issue I unscrewed the screen and put in a small strip of double folded aluminum foil to block the jet of water and help distribute the flow. This went a long way to stopping the stream of water flowing straight through the group head. Then with the addition of a puck screen, I was able to massively reduce the channeling and increase the extraction from the little Kmart machine. The portafilter was terrible as it was only set up for pressurised baskets and that was easily fixed with a new basket from eBay and some delicate work with an angle grinder. The modified portafilter looks janky but it works. I already have all of the other gear, so the puck prep is pretty consistent and I usually weigh in and weigh out to try and pull consistent shots. I can honestly say that I've had better espressos from the modified little Kmart machine than from my local Maccas. All up the Kmart experiment cost about $120 but being able to pull surprisingly good shots from it is priceless. ;)

I thought all of these manual deLonghi machines use 51 mm filters …. This EC230 seems to have 54mm and the new wand. I haven’t seen it sold in the US. I’m curious about the steamer. My 3630 came with the newer modified panerello ( the steam milk setting vs the cappuccino setting seems better) but I’ll probably remove it. Curious if this newer wand on your model is available as a replacement. I don’t want one that requires taking the machine apart ( like gaggia or rancilio) to swap, but I’m assuming the metal wand replaces the silicone one. Any idea if it would fit the older style deLonghi machines?

@MetallicReg I want to quietness, Simplicity, reliability and repeatability if I was going to bother getting into making espresso. I'm not rich but I've been wanting an espresso set up for 2 years I saw all the new ones coming out and considered things like the Lagom Mini among other things and if it had been on the market before I pulled the trigger I probably would have even seriously considered going with the Encore ESP but it wasn't and I wanted the easiest and yet highest quality experience I could possibly get and I think I got that with the niche zero and Bambino Plus. What input do you have on that or why would you say it's not worth it when anything that even remotely competes with it is almost always significantly more expensive or doesn't have anywhere near the capability or robustness let alone the self-contained finesse of an all-in-one unit with its own cord containment instead of a big old power brick.... and all those smaller ones are significantly higher pitched or just plain obnoxiously loud. I am genuinely curious because if part of my system quits moving forward I might be very willing to make another Choice depending on what's on the market at that point. Thanks

There is a cheaper solution as well. Some of the Chinese 51mm bigger baskets fit the stock pf just well, all you need to do is to remove the plastic insertion from it(one screw undone). You can fit even bigger baskets if apply your angle grinder, or any metal saw and just cut the bottom part of the pf ) Ah, and yes, as this machine has no solenoid valve, it does not release pressure from the puck after brewing, as more expensive appliances do. So it will be soggy nonetheless, especially for the first couple of minutes after the brew. Better to cleen it a bit later, when the water is just gone drop by drop... so yes, back to back cups is not it's field of competency) But if it's watery and dirty even after a while, I'd suggest you to go coarser on your grinder. Actually, it's not bad with more recent wave of 1:3 ratio of under 20sec brewing... However, you'll need to not jus go really coarse, but try lighter filter roast and surf a temperature with steam mode for this, heh) Cheers!

Thank you for this review. Im considering buying this specific machine and i only saw reviews of former model with the pinarelo. I wanted to ask first if you think its better now than the former model without the pinarelo? And second question is, im currently with cheap Nespresso machine so will this Delonghi Stilosa be better? Thanks again.

It will be better already because of larger coffee dose it can brew, even with stock basket. However, I'd still go with non-pressurized one (my stilosa came with those as stock ones, by the way). But, here we go to the territory where you'll need a coffee grinder, as only pressurized baskets could forgive you incorrect fracture. I went from timmemore to kingrinder pretty quickly and consider my k4 as a jack of all trades... Use it for all the range from turkish to filter. And yes, answering your milk frothing question, panarello helps to get a lot of stiff, extra aerated foam that does not mix with the coffee properly...no fancy late art, if you want. Non-panarello stainless steel wand on the other hand allows you to get that texture (kind of, as for me personally), but requires practice...a lot of... And time for you to spend on several tutorials on how to do it correctly) Good luck!

Yes sorry! I didn't end up linking them because so many of the views for this video came from around the world and so it wasn't going to work if you weren't in Australia. But go on to Ali express and you should be able to find cheap stuff like the tamper, the naked portafilter, the coffee catcher (aka coffee funnel), the WDT. 👌

The expression in the title _I pimp out the Delonghi Stilosa_ lead met to believe there'd be some pimpin'. Either customization(as one would pimp out a vehicle), or inviting your friends over so they could all have their turn for a fee paid to you(as one would a worker), there is no pimpin' in this video. An alternate title would be something more along the lines of _I introduce the Delonghi Stilosa..._
