Disappointed...

I was excited after several years of using my beginner Krups machine to replace it with a more powerful espresso maker. Unfortunately, I am disappointed because I have yet to get a decent froth and the espresso is inconsistent.
DO NOT BUY

This product has fallen very far short of my least expectations. The rubber grommets that keep this in place are not securely attached and constantly fall off. There is catch basin between the water container and the pump, which is theoretically a great idea in case you overfill it. However, in the case of this poorly-made product, every time you fill up the water container, most of the water leaks out into the catch basin and out all over your counter. The motor is exceptionally loud. I would not recommend this product even to my worst enemy. I'm willing to bet that a cheap $30 expresso maker from Target or Wal-Mart would beat this hands-down in overall quality.

As a long-time home espresso brewer, I was delighted to receive the EC140B as a holiday 2004 gift. It was a nice upgrade from my existing machine.
Well, it's been less than 2 months and I'm glad I didn't toss the old machine when I got the deLonghi because without it I'd have no morning brew. The rubber grommet that holds the screen snugly within the filter head has completely fallen apart rendering the EC140B unuseable for want of this little piece of rubber.
I've visited deLonghi's website, but it's incomplete (doesn't appear to have been updated since it went online in March 2004) and the Customer Service phone number in the documentation that came with the machine is "No longer in service." I'm willing to accept a percentage of product failure, but deLonghi can't or won't stand behind their product quality. Beware.
