I bought fine pre-ground espresso (i know fresh ground is preferred but im too lazy and don't care that much + i usually just make lattes so it doesnt make a huge difference for me). I've been doing the same steps for at least probably 10 shots and its been fine. I do two scoops and then tamp it then brew it. But now suddenly, the espresso would start to flow and then start dripping sooo slow that it takes a long time just to get 1 shot (im making a double) and it wasn't like this before. so then I googled around and tried it without tamping at all, just making sure its even and leveled but no tamping, and then the flow is better/back to how it was before. But before i was tamping so im not really sure why all of a sudden it became sooo slow. What should I do? just continue to not tamp it? Are you even supposed to tamp with a pressurized basket? Should I switch to a un-pressurized basket with the Delonghi machine?","date":"2021-01-26","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"delonghi-stilosa-man","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=tJDmF3zl0ug","author":"@TomsCoffeeCorner","rating":null,"text":"Thank you for watching, comments welcome!

I hope in the future to be able to try more Delonghi products! I have been making amazing espresso with this machine. I'm really looking into saving money up for an upgrade from this machine already. I have not tried any other espresso machine and with this being the first one I bought it was easy to use and made me feel like I was a professional barista. If I'm ever able to try any other Delonghi products I will definitely leave a review and I have recommended this product to 4-5 close friends and family because of its user friendly set up and quality.","date":"2023-02-22","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"delonghi-stilosa-man","source":"walmart","sourceUrl":"","author":"The Coffee Master","rating":5,"text":"This DeLonghi espresso machine works amazing. It does take some practice. But once you get comfortable with, it is awesome. Espresso after espresso after espresso turn out very consistent. I must say that after 25 years of coffee shot making experience, I do know a good shot of coffee. And this machine will turn out consistently awesome coffee shots. Just buy it, and enjoy your espressos for a fraction of the cost of stopping at the espresso stand. After you make yourself, your wife, and your friends a couple of espressos, it will have more than paid for itself. For me, it paid for itself by the end of the first week after getting it.","date":"2023-01-17","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"delonghi-stilosa-man","source":"walmart","sourceUrl":"","author":"Jenn lo","rating":5,"text":"Get machine.

This compact expresso machine is light, simple and the black and stainless-steel finish, makes it appear sleek on the kitchen counter. Because of its size, this machine is perfect in a kitchen lacking counter space. The size and construction of it are for those who enjoy expresso drinks yet do not want bulk of a professional style expresso maker. There are many pros to this machine: heats up quickly for immediate use, built-in, rotatable frother, comes with a portafilter that has two filters, for single or double shot espresso(can make two cups at one time or one double cup), one knob for all the functions simplifies usage yet still delivers a quality expresso, the water reservoir can be removed to fill, the plastic tamper has a scoop on opposite end to measure coffee, discrete storage area for filter is located under the lid which covers water reservoir. Some of the cons are that it is loud, the frother does not come with an extra frothing pitcher, the frother is a bit messy causing milk to splash on the machine and counter, many of its parts are plastic yet durable. I am confident is will last a long time because of the De'longhi brand. These cons do not outweigh the positives and would make a nice addition to any household that appreciates specialty coffees. I recommend that water be run through it a couple of times before making your first beverage. My daughter enjoyed making her first Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte!

I like that you can take out the water chamber to clean it. There's also a small storage area for one of the two brew size cups. There's is no storage for the other pieces, and these pieces do not include a cup to catch the espresso shots or a steaming pitcher. We happened to have a steaming pitcher of our own, and we're using whatever fits for the shots. For the price point I'm not sure why they wouldn't throw in at least a steaming pitcher.\n                    The machine is easy to use once you figure out all it's controls. Even if you've used other machines or you're the type that doesn't read instructions, please do otherwise things might get weird. Three of us in the household have at various points in our lives both worked making espressos\\coffees and have had home machines and still needed to stop and read the instructions.\n                    Why I marked this down a star is that the shots don't have a control button (or built in mechanics) for stopping the shot after one or two regardless of what size basket you have in. I didn't realize I had to stop it because other machines I've used just stop. So the first time I used it not remembering the instructions and not having them in front of me it kept going past two shots and it poured out a lot more than I expected, luckily I had a big enough cup it didn't spill. Also it said it had different size area for bigger cups, and honestly don't believe this and look at the size cups they are using in the pictures online. It has a metal tray that sits on another drip tray you can pull out for washing. When you take the metal off it does drop down a little bit more, but it has a lip and you'll have to do some tilting to get in and out with \"bigger\" cups. We couldn't fit a standard coffee mug. My husband went through the cupboards and tried a few different cups and jars and had settled on a small mason jar.\n                    The instructions do say don't steam more than 60 seconds at a time and it does seem to slow itself down and stop steaming at about that amount of time, though it's still making some noise. Also it's not a function that I'm going to use much, but supposedly the steamer can also extrude hot water for an Americano or tea, but it seems complicated and I have yet to master it. The instructions say you have to turn the knob on the front and lever on the side at the same time, but I guess I can't get the timing right because I get water coming out of the steamer and where the shots come from. I'll keep practicing.\n                    After the learning curve we are enjoying the machine and it doesn't take long to make a mocha or latte in the morning for myself. It's good for a budget home model.\n                    I received this espresso machine from Influenster and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.","date":"2024-05-14","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"delonghi-stilosa-man","source":"walmart","sourceUrl":"","author":"Betty","rating":5,"text":"I am so happy we chose DeLonghi Beand.\n                    I have not been disappointed.\n                    We first purchased a competitor brand that I really\n                    wanted, and the style seemed to have manufacturing\n                    defects.

It's ready to brew in two minutes; since this is not an automatic shut off I stand right next to it to determine just how strong I want my espresso and this takes about two minutes as well.  I have beautiful espresso with lovely crema on top in less than five minutes!! (My last machine *was* automatic but took ten minutes for the same amount of espresso and it leaked like a sieve).  The Stilosa does make noise but for under $100 I dont expect it to be quiet; its not overly noisy but within acceptable levels as compared to other machines Ive owned.  It is very similar to both of the Krups I had as far as noise, so, not too bad.  If I have one complaint it would be this; it comes with two metal cups, one holds enough coffee for a single espresso and the other enough coffee for two espressos (you can set your espresso cups side-by-side so thats a nice feature) BUT If I want an extra large for my Thermal Mug so I dont have to brew again in the middle of a task, it cant be done.

I had checked to make sure the tank was seated properly a few times with no luck. I took the tank out and with water in it, I depressed the small black gasket/valve opening on the bottom with my finger a few times (holding it over the sink) to let the water start running out, then re-seated it in the machine and tried to cycle the water through again.
