Its predecessor, also a DeLonghi, was trouble-free for 10 years, but started to show defects. You will not repair such an old device. That's why we went for its successor, which is essentially the same, only now works via touch keys. The device works as we expect, tasty coffee, slightly more settings for your personal coffee, easy to set if you take the time to read the clear and short manual. We always froth milk using a separate device, but we also tried out the steam wand. It worked great, frothed well, nice hot temperature. And cleaning is extremely easy, also an important point. If this device also lasts another 10 years without any problems....
