We've had 4 or 5 De'Longhi expresso machines over the years. All previous ones have been very good. This De'Longhi machine rattles/vibrates a lot due to some form of a faulty design.

I picked up the Icona from John Lewis in Stratford just before Xmas 2012, at a reduced price of ￡120 (RRP is ￡190 according to the Delonghi site). I'd been after a coffee machine for a while, and had considered the Nespresso and Tassimo alternatives, but loved the idea of fresh ground coffee.

I am afraid, after much searching, a poor outcome. Perhaps, one of the compelling oros of Nespresso is that you can try it first. I was not given the chance in this case and, ok, I bought the item, but it is not going to happen again.

Very noisy - every rattles, weak coffee due to small basket - waste of money.

I bought this item. Design is so beautiful with my home.

Got this coffee machine on the lightning deal for a very reasonable price!...Looked chic on my counter! Worked it just once...made a lot of noise initially itself!...the crema on the coffee was good but the milk frother was ridiculous!.. Moreover it doesnt fit a good sized cup either!

see above! No water flow, coffee holder, filter not moveable, did not fit into socket, absolutely unacceptable, not quality control!?

Looks good and makes great coffee

Could fit bigger cups; however is you take out the metal drain cover you can fits mugs

I've had my machine a month now, it makes fabulous coffee easily. The only downside is not being able to fit a mug under it without taking the drip trays out. And it does keep dripping for a little while after the coffee is made. The Coffee is the best though so I'll put up with those issues!

Excellent product!
