The model can be ranked among the classic manual espresso coffee makers. On the one hand, the device provides steam at a pressure of 15 bar, which allows you to maximize the taste and aroma of the selected coffee variety, on the other hand, the user will have to perform most of the procedures (except for passing hot steam through the coffee itself). But at the same time, De'Longhi ECP 33.21 can work with both ground and pod-packed coffee, and also provides the possibility of preparing two portions of the drink in one cycle. Of the additional functions, the manufacturer has implemented a cup heating system.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The De'Longhi ECP 31.21 is a versatile espresso machine that caters to the whole family, offering the ability to brew both espresso and Americano, thanks to its hot water supply feature. Users appreciate its easy operation and maintenance, with a powerful 1100W heater that quickly heats water, making it ready in just three minutes. The machine supports both ground coffee and pods, equipped with three filters for different needs. While it excels in brewing coffee, some users have experienced challenges with the milk frother, resulting in inconsistent froth quality. Despite this, the coffee maker is praised for its great value for money, delivering hot coffee without any plastic smell. However, it is best suited for small coffee cups, although a workaround is available by removing the drip tray. Overall, it's a good model for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a well-brewed espresso.
Pros

Cons

good model, I liked it
27 January 2017 
I consider myself, if not a connoisseur, then definitely a big coffee drinker. I have been drinking it for over fifteen years. But I got a good coffee maker only six months ago. I believe that the best coffee is obtained with intensive and fast extraction, so I prefer espresso and drinks based on it. I note that not all carob coffee makers are equally useful. Therefore, if you are able to evaluate a properly brewed espresso, then it is worth taking trusted manufacturers who can create the correct extraction temperature and withstand its time. Then the coffee turns out fragrant, with bitterness, but not excessively bitter.
With her help, I brew an excellent espresso in the morning, and my wife prepares an Americano for herself (there is a hot water supply in the car). My daughter loves experimenting with milk and has mastered the use of the milk frother. In short, the whole family is happy. The coffee maker is easy to use and maintain. It has a powerful 1100W heater, so it quickly heats the water and after 3 minutes is ready to please you with a cup of aromatic drink. Detachable filter horn detaches/attaches easily and securely. Coffee can be loaded into it ground or in pods. To do this, the coffee maker is equipped with three filters - for one cup, more capacious for two and a filter specially adapted for pods. I prefer my own grind, I love experimenting with different beans. There is a good instruction, thanks to which you can quickly understand the features of this model.
Only small coffee cups can be placed under the coffee maker, a larger size in height simply will not. But I will tell you about one life hack: a tall cup becomes if you remove the drip tray ))
good model, liked it.

Great machine for the money. No plastic smell, makes coffee perfectly, everything is convenient and simple.
The cappuccino froth isn't working out. No matter how much I tried, no matter what I did. The result is hot milk with a quickly falling liquid froth on top. Is this normal, or did I get a defective product? I can't understand.
great model, love it

Top for its money.
Hot coffee. Paying more... Well, I don't know... I'm not sure it will significantly affect the quality of the drink.
Regarding the frother for cappuccino: there was another one that was a bit more expensive, but it depended on the milk. Here, the experience of use is still limited...

Nothing more, just aromatic coffee

De'Longhi is distinguished on the market by a wide range of devices for preparing coffee drinks, where each user, regardless of preferences and financial capabilities, will be able to choose a device for themselves.

Nothing extra

The De'Longhi ECP 33.21 coffee maker belongs to the low-cost line of products of this brand, but its technical characteristics and capabilities have not been affected at all.

The classic manual type model is available in three colours: burgundy, black, steel and is designed for making coffee from both ground beans and for using packaged pods. The presence of a convenient pannarello nozzle allows you to enjoy a delicate cappuccino, and a very useful mode is implemented here — boiling water supply. But for the comfortable use of the provided functions, the user will have to get used to it, since frothing milk, especially non-fat milk, can take a long time.

Coffee for yourself and a friend

The presence of two holes in the horn helps to prepare two servings of coffee at a time. For more flavor, you can use the cup warmer before cooking, although you won’t be able to place large containers, since the heated plate is relatively small.

Modest dimensions (18.5x24x 30.5 cm) will be a godsend for owners of a small kitchen, but as for the working pressure of 15 bar, here the model is not particularly modest, as it does not lag behind more expensive counterparts.

Control

The lever on the side of the case and the analogue switch on the front panel are responsible for controlling and switching commands. Ease of operation will please everyone who does not want to spend extra time preparing an invigorating drink, but as for caring for the device, problems cannot be avoided if you prefer black design. The glossy panel collects all fingerprints and reflects not only the selected mode, but also all traces of operation.
