Pros: It worked well.
Cons: It only worked well for two weeks.
The Bottom Line: Avoid this machine. While the features were attractive (especially the unusual frothing mechanism), the machine began to break down within two weeks. A real lemon.

| gruezzi's Full Review: DeLonghi Caffe Figaro BCO110 Espresso Machine & Co... |
This combination coffee and espresso maker worked well for the first two weeks we had it. Then the problems began. First, a plastic piece (part of the frothing system) broke. We could no longer froth the milk, which was the one feature that caused us to choose this model in the first place. Several calls to the unfriendly people at the Trishops customer service number resulted in our eventual receipt of an incorrect replacement part. While we tried to straighten out that situation, the clock stopped functioning. Next, the regular coffee maker began to leak. At first, we just noticed some hissing as the water evaporated on the heating element. Eventually, the leaking got so bad that we had a pool of water under the machine every time we used it. Avoid this lemon!
