322 cups a day at 10 years

I think your math might be out. Between two machines, they've made 68000+ shots. A cup is two shots, so 34000 cups/365 days * 12 years (ish). So almost 8 cups a day between 2 people.
I'm not denying there might be an addiction issue here, but it's not quite that bad. What I find funny is that that's over 11 tons of coffee that's come out of these two machines.

Impressive! Does that number include blank/blind shots?

I'm not sure what those are. It's usually smart enough to know when it's out of beans and just tells you to fill up before it'll run a cup.

A blank or blind shot is when you intentionally pass a shot through without coffee to warm up or rinse the portafilter and group head. I was just trying to do some rough math on my machine (a Breville) to compare.

Ah, it does that when you turn it on, pretty sure it wouldn't be counted. If I have any complaint about the machine, it would be that the first shots are coolish.

I have the same machine, after 13 yrs I decided to upgrade only because I wanted a new machine. I went out and bought another Delonghi fully automatic with the milk frothier. Spent $2,000. 5 months in it had issues; in the end I had to return it. Now I’m without a coffee machine. Sad

I have the same machine! How are you able to show the number of shots on the screen?

Press Menu and Change as you plug it in.

Those Delonghis are the bomb
