Italian passion for elegant design, a penchant for color, and technological innovation characterize the De’Longhi Icona collection. The Icona Pump Espresso Machine is inspired by vintage Italian design that blends intuitive controls with bold finishes and quality materials. The dual filter holder, combined with the Icona’s high-pressure pump extraction, create caramel-colored crema with every use. Professional-style features include a warming plate on top of the machine to keep cups warm before use, as well as De'Longhi’s patented milk frothing Cappuccino System that enables you to make rich, thick, long-lasting foam for your latte or cappuccino. The Icona Pump Espresso Machine evokes the Italian spirit of la dolce vita, enhancing the design of any modern kitchen with a touch of style. The Icona Collection, which also includes the Icona Electric Kettle and the Icona 2 Slice Toaster, is inspired by the bold, striking lines of 1950s Italian design; a time when Italy was just beginning to dictate the rules of fashion and style to the world. Stylish design enhances any kitchen.

The high-pressure pump creates the foamy crema that gives espresso its rich flavor. Multifunctional Filter Holder and Convenient Built-In Coffee Tamper The filter holder is compatible with ground coffee as well as Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) pods. Offered by some of the world’s leading coffee roasters, including Illy and Starbucks, ESE pods are pre-portioned, so they take the guesswork out of preparation and are easier to clean up than ground coffee. Rails on the sides of the cup warming plate protect cups from accidentally falling off. The coffee tamper is built in, so you have one less piece of equipment cluttering your preparation space. Refill the 48-ounce water reservoir by lifting it out of the machine using its specially designed handle. Intuitive Control Panel This espresso pump's face includes three indicator buttons with corresponding lights to show whether the unit is on or off, the temperature of the coffee or hot water, and the pressure of the steam. The knob on top of the machine regulates the volume of steam released through the Cappuccino System steam wand. Cappuccino System pushes steam and air through milk to create foam.

Customer Reviews
Works very wellM. LOHNERSimple straightforward espresso/cappuccino maker. Just works.I went back to basic after using a Nespresso machine (a gift from someone) for a few months. Can't stand filling up the landfill with coffee pods. Of course, it's easier to just pop one in and hit a button. But with just a little bit of effort (it's amazing how lazy we've gotten) I can get really great coffee taste from a basic machine like this. Just make sure to use good espresso coffee, although I have found that cheaper (than Illy espresso) is just fine too. But make sure it's an espresso roast.And this machine looks great on the counter top!
Responsive small machinemarie b. hitzemannThis is my first espresso maker so I do not have alot to compare it to but I'm quite happy with it. It is responsive and quick and the steamer works really really awesome and fast. It also reheats quickly between cups. The red is attractive and it is compact. It is quite loud and vibrating while making the espresso, which doesn't bother me, but you will wake anyone up that is sleeping nearby! The cup tray is not a warming tray, which I would prefer. I do not know if this is normal, but my only complaint is you have to be superman to lock the filter arm in. Seriously; and It won't work if you don't lock it hard. I'm sure this is to assure the pressure and maybe it's common, but you could not do this if you are small or older.
Great buy!AbbylooWonderful machine, especially considering the price! I use mine about 3x daily. It produces a great crema and the frother/steamer works very well.
Does not workFrancisco J. HernandezDo not buy this item, when you push the Brew button after it is ready it sounds like a 1910 Ford T Car, and shakes and move like it is going to run away from the countertop. I'm returning mine right away
Very slowMicheal HeathI can actually drive to Starbucks and wait in line for a latte before this machine makes one. The frother is so weak that it takes way to long to get the froth and make the milk hot enough. I am probably going to send it back and try a different brand. I had a Starbucks barista for a long tome and loved it but it had a problem with the steamer control so I tried this one. Big mistake and payed way to much for it. Forget about making more than one latte at a time it would take forever. Not happy at all with this machine. But I will say it makes a good coffee but for the amount of time it takes is NOT worth it.
GREAT EXPRESSO MAKER!!Amazon CustomerDe'Longhi is the only brand I have bought for many years (back before bar pressure was available), never been disappointed. I once bought a different brand at 3 times the cost and it was not as good as my De'Longhi. I am very happy with this machine!!!
goodHyungNam AhnMy wife love this very well. It is simple and better than expected.Not expensive. My wife and I are happy to enjoy espresso at home.
Work great for the first 2 months then it will not froth milk...Peter HayesIt work fine for the first 2 months but it has stop frothing milk. We tried descaling and cleaning and different kinds of milk (low fat, whole, skim) same result. Then dead completely after 4 1/2 months...Not worth the money. Just nice looking garbage. What a rip off.
