Does anyone know brand "DeLonghi"?

[mcoffee]

Dear everyone, I'm new coffee lover from Thailand. I have a question.
Does anyone know brand "DeLonghi"? Is it good?
I'm read review in this link DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker, they told it is the best Espresso Maker under $100. Is it true?

Thank you.

Yeah DeLonghi has been around awhile. They make "OK" stuff but not "great" which is what you want for true espresso. To be honest you won't find anything new under $100 that will give decent results. Save up more for something better like anything Gaggia. They can be had for not too much more ($250-300 USD) and offer the essential build quality/parts to make really good espresso. You also need to factor in a good grinder and most agree that the grinder is the most important part of the equation. Later!

I have their coffee maker/espresso maker combo and it is my second one. First one leaked and now the second one is leaking also.
