So pleased these are readily available and at a sensible price.
The replacement coupling bell is a part that has to be replaced too often. It's a poor design and fails too readily. I'm on my third and it takes quite a bit of work to replace it when the silly little bits of plastic fall out.
On the up side, it keeps my machine out of landfill and still making good coffee at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
Two things that would help a lot:
1. It really would make things easier if there was a picture of the item. It was guesswork to find out what it was called and research on other sites to provide a DeLonghi part number.
2. This site has two different listings for DeLonghi. It would help if they were amalgamated. It's one word, not two.
