Delonghi EC155 – Coffee Indulgence on a shoestring budget
The quest for delicious, high-quality coffee beverages at home does not have to leave you broke. There are many at-home espresso machines on the market, but not many of those offer the quality and affordability combined like the Delonghi ec155. This coffee maker retails for less than $100. Even better, it can be purchased online for less than $50.
The Delonghi ec155 can be displayed proudly in any kitchen with its sleek, streamlined appearance. It is small and made of silver stainless steel with black plastic accents. Stainless steel is the optimum material for a coffee maker, because it will not rust and corrode with repeated exposure to water.

It may be small in stature, but it delivers a delicious cup of espresso or cappuccino that rivals even its largest competitors.

It also comes equipped with two separate thermostats; one controls the water pressure, and the other controls the steam pressure.
