Pros:

The value and quality of the De’longhi EC155 espresso and cappuccino maker cannot be compared to its price, I mean anyone would expect such a high quality and great performing machine to be highly priced. The machine is available at just $87.40 dollars on Amazon so even if you are not a high budget person, the machine will be affordable.
Clean up is not a bother, both the water tank and drip tray are very easy to disassemble, wash and reassemble. They have both been made removable for hygienic purposes.
This espresso machine is super easy and convenient to operate, first of all because it has self-priming operation that saves you the burden of going through troublesome pre-brewing sessions and secondly because it allows to use any coffee grounds that are available and easy for you.
With the De’longhi EC155 espresso and cappuccino machine, even if you have never had the thought of making espresso or cappuccino by yourself, it is very easy to do so with its built in tamper.
It save a lot of time and provides the best temperature for your brewing session, when using this machine you do not have to wait too long before you start to brew and it has two thermostats that regulate the temperature at which espresso and cappuccino is being brewed.

Cons:

There is a whole lot of mess to clean up, yes I know I said most of the features are removable they are also too many and with a lot of froth so you must be ready for all this cleaning.
When twisting the filter you must be extremely careful because the moment it gets stuck into the filter head the machine will instantly stop until you take for repair.
Sometimes water does not come out well from the water tank as claimed by some users however this could be because it has not been connected well so ensure to reassemble the machine well after cleaning it.
