About this product
The De'Longhi Stilosa EC230 makes it easy to craft proper espresso-based drinks at home, so you can enjoy lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and americanos whenever the mood strikes. This manual pump espresso machine is ideal if you want hands-on control over your coffee without the complexity of bean-to-cup systems, using ground coffee to deliver rich, aromatic espresso with 15bar pressure. The manual steam wand gives you the flexibility to froth and texture milk exactly how you like it, whilst the hot water option lets you whip up an americano or tea in moments.
You'll appreciate practical touches that make daily use straightforward - a water tank with a level gauge to know when to refill, an adjustable cup stand for your favourite mug, and a removable drip-tray for easy cleaning. The cup warmer keeps espresso cups at the right temperature, and dishwasher-safe parts make maintenance hassle-free. In the box are the coffee machine, filter holder, 3 filters (single and double espresso baskets plus an ESE pod basket), and a measure-presser. It runs on 1100 watts and comes with a 1-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Affordable, compact espresso machine producing good coffee with practice. Easy to use and clean, but plastic build and inconsistent crema noted. Steam wand works well but has a learning curve.

Overall great value for money
I bought this recently and have enjoyed using it and made some very good coffees. The instructions are simple to follow and it’s very easy to set up. The steam wand is easy to use and as long as you know the technique/practice with it, it can make perfect coffees. It is easy to clean. I would recommend a finely ground coffee been for the best consistency of espresso as the water can pass easily through coarser ground beans but that applies to all espresso machines. It is mostly plastic which is a shame however for the price that is to be expected when they typically cost hundreds-thousands of pounds.

Great value for money as a entry level machine
I brought the ec230 in Jan 26. Decent espresso can be made with proper technique. Steam wand is better than expected in this price range. Latte art is possible but there is a learning curve. Overall a good machine despite some dripping from group head while while switching to steam mode after a few months, possible issue with the o-ring but does not affect general use.

Avoid
Good extraction, small water tank, difficult to locate coffee holder. Poor cream.

Good features and minimal flaws
I bought this a few weeks ago and it works great, the only flaw I would say is that you manually have to figure out when your espresso has been pulled, however this can also be a pro as you can have a black americano.

Great coffee
Great machine. I live alone and this is everything I could need. Makes a great coffee. You don't need an expensive model. I really like this machine.

Good coffee for a good price
Instructions aren’t great, but after a bit of trial and error it manages to produce a decent cup of coffee. Steam wand is great, and once you’ve got the knack, makes a lovely frothy cappuccino. For a cheap coffee machine it does a great job.

Easy to use and great quality.
Great product. Simple to use and very easy to keep clean and tidy. Saving me a fortune instead of buying expensive coffee on my way to work. Couple of practice runs and trying different coffee types and you will find a cheaper and better way to enjoy coffee.

Great machine for the money
Been using this for 5 days now. It took a bit of getting used to( I didn't find the instruction manual particularly helpful). But after a bit of trial and error it's making great coffees - both expressos and cappuccinos. It's really quick and easy once you've got the hang of it as well

Hey John
Fairly loud compared to something quiet. But about usual for a coffee machine.
And it will fit in most garages! Result!!
Hello John.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for De'Longhi Stilosa Espresso Coffee Machine EC230.BK.
We don’t measure or publish the decibel levels for our coffee machines, including the De’Longhi Stilosa. However, during warm‑up the machine typically makes only a low, brief operational noise that most customers do not find disruptive. When extracting coffee, you can expect a normal pump sound similar to other domestic espresso machines.
Thank you for using Q & A.

If you want a long coffee, make your esspresso then top up with hot water. Dont run extra water through your grinds as this will overwork the coffee and make it bitter

The machine can only make coffee without the foam on top.
A cheaper percolator can do the same.
