At a glance

The De'Longhi ECP35.31 is a compact, entry-level manual pump espresso machine. It has a 15 bar pump, takes ground coffee or E.S.E. pods, and has a steam wand for cappuccinos and lattes. Owners mostly praise the coffee and crema, the ease of use, the compact solid build and the value. The recurring complaint is water leaking inside the machine and tripping the electrics, sometimes around the end of the warranty. Some also find the portafilter fiddly to lock in and the instructions unclear for beginners. It suits someone who wants hands-on espresso on a budget and will descale regularly. Anyone wanting push-button drinks or whole-bean grinding should look at bean-to-cup machines. Long-term reliability is not independently confirmed, and big UK chains no longer stock it, so it is bought mainly from Amazon sellers, eBay sellers and smaller retailers.

Strengths

  • Makes good espresso and lattes with rich crema, according to most UK owners
  • Simple to use and clean
  • Adjustable steam wand for frothed or steamed milk, plus hot water for americanos
Show all (6)
  • Compact footprint (185 x 240 x 305 mm) with a removable 1.1 L tank; suits small kitchens
  • Takes ground coffee or E.S.E. pods, brews two cups at once and fits mugs up to 12 cm tall
  • Some owners report several years of use with regular descaling

Things to consider

  • Reports of internal water leaks that trip household circuit breakers, sometimes after the warranty ends
  • No grinder and no whole-bean option: needs pre-ground coffee or a separate grinder
  • Needs regular descaling and some practice; instructions can confuse beginners
Show all (6)
  • Portafilter can be hard to lock in on the lightweight machine
  • Small water tank with a water-level window that is hard to read
  • No longer stocked by major UK chains such as Argos, Currys or John Lewis
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Beginners who want a hands-on espresso machine with a milk wand in a small kitchen
  • Buyers on a budget who will descale and clean the machine regularly

May not suit

  • People who want one-touch drinks or fresh-ground beans without a separate grinder
  • Buyers who put proven long-term reliability first

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly like the coffee: rich espresso and good lattes with a nice crema, a steam wand that froths milk well, and a compact, solid machine that is easy to use and clean and fits small kitchens. Many see it as good value against coffee-shop drinks or pods, and buyers of refurbished units often say it works like new. The main complaint is reliability. Some buyers report water leaking inside the machine and tripping the household electrics, including one failure soon after the warranty ended, though some of these were returned or used units. Smaller gripes: the portafilter can be hard to lock in, the instructions confuse beginners, it takes practice to dial in, the tank is smallish and it needs regular descaling.

  1. N*** H*** L*** 5/5 27 October 2026 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    A great purchase! The machine is very well made and looks stylish in the kitchen. It makes rich, delicious espresso with a nice crema. The steam wand froths milk well, so it’s easy to make a cappuccino or latte at home. Simple to use and good value for money. Very happy with it.

  2. M*** 5/5 7 October 2026 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    Has a very sleek design and easily match any kitchen/living space . Brewing is great and easy to use. Great price.

  3. G*** 5/5 26 July 2026 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    I have used this for years now and it still works fine. You need to keep it clean and descaled. I know it does not look like a flashy designed coffee maker but it works 100%. thats all you need.

  4. A*** G*** 2/5 5 June 2026 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    A few months after the warranty expired there was a critical internal issue. Something around the showerscreen did not work, flooded the entire coffees machine internally, shorted the electricity, had to replace a fuse in the fuse box. Anything positive I would have to say its down the drain now. 2 starts because despite that, it was an ok machine

  5. D*** 5/5 2 January 2024 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    I've had 3 or 4 De'Longhi coffee machines over the years. In my experience, they last about 3 years before conking out for one reason or another. … I must say that I am impressed with it. First and foremost, it makes a very good latte. The machine is solidly made and the controls are positive. I like that it will accommodate a "normal" sized mug, not just the tiny espresso cups. The water container isn't very large and although there's window supposedly for an easy visual check on the water remaining, it doesn't seem to work - a pity it's not illuminated. All-in-all, I'm satisfied and hope it last longer than the others I've had.

  6. S*** 4/5 19 October 2020 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31; the leaking units were Amazon Warehouse used machines

    Let's start with the positives, this really does make a great cup of coffee. … The Crema is wonderful, and with regular cleaning and descaling it helps maintain a great taste over a period of time. … I had used it a few times before it started to keep tripping out, I then noticed water dripping from the underside of the main part machine, and a pool of water underneath. … 29/12/20 UPDATE - Well I ordered the 4th machine this time opting for a nearly new. I'm up to £116 now, but it seems to have done the trick. The machine is absolutely spotlesss and after 2 months it still doesn't leak!!

  7. G*** W*** 5/5 28 August 2020 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    This review is for model ECP 35.31 only. … You get shop coffee at home, saving £3 a pop. It makes cappuchino and other variants, is easy to clean, has a removable tray that I have put away as I don't need. … The coffee tastes delicious with the crema it creates and the machine is compact, sturdy, not loud and very easy to clean. Definitely impressed and would recommend this model for ease of use and build quality. … One thing I will say is that if you are in a rush, and have no time, then Espresso makers are not for you as you need to spend a few minutes to make a lovely coffee.

  8. R*** 1/5 18 May 2020 Amazon Style Name: ECP35.31

    The first machine blew the circuit breaker when I turned it on. Left it overnight and it was then ok. The coffee and froth maker were superb however I found that I was unable to turn the machine off and had to cut the power at the plug socket. I also found a puddle of water underneath the machine after each use. … Second machine arrived which then activated the fuse box circuit breaker after a few seconds whenever I tried to heat the water up for coffee or the frother. … The electrical problems are worrying, and yes, I did try another plug point with the same result.

  9. i*** No rating 4 February 2026 ebay.co.uk eBay 'Most critical review'; condition: New

    I have put no to the 2nd and 3rd questions though I haven't used it. I unpacked it, tried to put the filter holder into the machine and the whole machine moved. So you can't use this unless you are holding down the machine to fit the filter holder down with a lot of pressure. It did not want to fit. This is not my first machine. I was updating from an older machine which I regret not getting fixed now as that didn't;t need 2 hands to fit the filter holder.

  10. g*** No rating 9 June 2025 ebay.co.uk Condition: New

    Instructions a bit misleading for a novice but worked reasonably well once I watched a Youtube video.

  11. w*** No rating 21 May 2025 ebay.co.uk Sold by direct-vacuums

    Great looking coffee machine, produces a good crema, better than I anticipated. Very happy!

  12. j*** No rating 24 November 2024 ebay.co.uk Condition: New

    Great product and it fits perfectly in to our small kitchen area! Makes lovely coffee!!!!

  13. k*** No rating 26 May 2024 ebay.co.uk

    Seems to be working well so far. The drip tray showed some signs of use otherwise looked like new.

  14. 5*** No rating 24 May 2023 ebay.co.uk

    Makes just great coffee no mess and easy to use. And the coffee is so cheap bs Nespresso

  15. a*** No rating 27 April 2021 ebay.co.uk Condition: Pre-owned (refurbished)

    My De Longhi packed up and after much research on different websites I found Direct Vacuums Ebay. … For a refurbished machine it was as good as new in its condition, and had no defects. … After a number of weeks usage I am more than pleased with the De Longhi machine, it works as good as new and the coffee tastes great.

  16. d*** No rating 10 June 2020 ebay.co.uk Condition: New

    Good coffee machine, easy to use, easy to clean, makes great coffee using ground coffee and ESE coffee pods

  17. l*** No rating 20 December 2018 ebay.co.uk Condition: refurbished

    Works fine and makes good coffee. The water tank could be bigger (1l)

  18. a*** No rating 14 March 2018 ebay.co.uk Condition: pre-owned

    I would spend £90 a month on coffe at Costa, the machine will have paid for itself in a month, so without a doubt value for money. Love trying new coffees in which the machine delivers a beautiful cup of coffee

  19. s*** No rating 20 December 2018 ebay.co.uk eBay 'Most favourable review'; condition: Refurbished

    Excellent piece of kit, it has worked really well, makes great coffee.

First Time Using DeLonghi 35.31.

The creator demonstrates pulling a shot and steaming milk for the first time using the DeLonghi ECP 35.31 espresso machine. The espresso produces a nice crema with a very enjoyable flavour, and the steam wand creates good silky milk foam. Overall, he is very impressed with the resulting drink, though he finds the included tamper pathetic and struggles to fit the portafilter when using a puck screen.

DeLonghi ECP35.31 ALL MODIFICATIONS

This video examines the De'Longhi ECP35.31 espresso machine alongside practical modifications and accessories to achieve barista-quality coffee on a budget. The presenter highlights limitations with the factory-supplied pressurised baskets and standard Panarello wand, showing how tweaks to the portafilter, steam wand, and baskets improve extraction and milk texturing. Testing also reveals that pre-purging the group head is necessary to achieve adequate brewing temperature.
