Delonghi Autentica ETAM 29.620 SB Coffee Machine
A Coffee Maker That Fizzled: My Worst DeLonghi Experience Ever
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong with this DeLonghi coffee maker. Made in Italy, it promised a lot, but it ended up being a total letdown. I bought it as a gift, but the first impression was pretty rough. Water leaked all over the table when I turned it on, and things only got worse from there. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the build quality or the overall experience.
