Which is better for espresso?

The De'Longhi. It has a 15-bar pump, a burr grinder and a steam wand. The Cuisinart only makes drip coffee.

Which makes better everyday drip coffee?

Both brew 10 cups. The Cuisinart grinds into a thermal carafe and has a brew strength selector; the De'Longhi adds a bold setting and a spill-proof carafe.

Is the De'Longhi worth the extra $100?

Only if you will use espresso and milk drinks. For drip coffee alone, the Cuisinart does the job for $119.95 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026.

Which is easier to clean?

Buyers of the De'Longhi call it easy to clean, and it ships with a descaling solution. The Cuisinart uses a permanent filter and a thermal carafe, so there are no paper filters to buy.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan. The De'Longhi has more parts, including a pump and steam wand, so more can fail; some buyers report portafilter problems out of the box.

Do either program cup sizes?

The Cuisinart is programmable for brew timing and strength. De'Longhi buyers complain that cup sizes cannot be programmed.
