Love love this coffee maker the very best coffee maker that I have ever had as I have had a lot of them but I will keep to this make strong no problems great delivery thank love AMAZON
Im not sorry at all for this purchase… in fact im sorry that i didn’t order it before.
The coffee taste is completely different than my previous coffee machine. And it doesn’t take a time at all. Easy to clean, easy to refill. The machine is amazing!
I have always had a De’Longhi coffee maker. I love how simple they are to use and also to clean and descale. This is the first time I’ve had the milk edition and also easy to use and clean. The coffee blends lovely with a smooth richer taste. Along with some other machines I do believe the value is very good also. xxx
Well I was sceptical when buying but really wasn’t expecting it to be this good.
Makes a cracking Coffee no matter your tastes.
simple to use, looks and cleans well.
already put 4kg of beans through it. lol
So addictive.
I love this machine! We use it daily for 4 adults and it does a great job. I make lattes and cappuccinos, whilst my husband and parents make Espressos and Americanos. We all enjoy using the machine as its so simple to change the settings for all our different tastes.
Produces great tasting coffee at the touch of a butto
I bought this machine to replace my old Magnifica machine. Liking stronger style coffee’s. I have to say the coffee tastes fantastic with cappuccino style milk froth. I adjusted the temperature to hotter than default op. The temperature is just right now. It is a step up from magnifica machine. A very good purchase.
Nice machine, easy to use and coffee cup is grea
Makes a nice variety of coffee drinks the more you use it the better the coffee flavour gets
We have used De Longhi bean to cup machines for some years now, and recently upgraded to this. It is a revelation. Full automatic and myriad choices strength and depth. Also one programmable option for personal; choice. Larger water reservoir than previous models, and a much larger bean catchment area. A really wnderful machine. and we are sp pleased with our choice.
This is my first bean to cup machine. I wanted to change from my Nespresso machine and after some research decided on this one. Easy to use once you have read the instructions, have not tried to set up the personal cup size and strength etc.
The chrome metal plate that the cup sits on does scratch easily but now I always leave a piece of kitchen towel for the cup to sit on.
first bean to cup purchased and defo chose the bes
Good frothy drink what I like, programmable option, not good enough for my opinion , send it back, already sent back a melitta barista ts , not hot enough, this is a bit hotter, Not happy sent this back too, now on order a primadonna soul, customer service reckons it is fully programmable, so ordered one, I do prefer the water tank system, frother , rinsing system better on th delonghi. Frothy weakish coffee, what I like, the machines mentioned probably do a good espresso etc.. not for me. Hope this was helpful.
Fantastic machine for great coffee. It has become a very welcome addition.
Excellent quality and very simple to use. Would certainly recommend
Love my new coffee machine, so easy to use, coffee always ho
This is my second Delonghi coffee machine, only upgraded as I wanted more automated machine. Have to say really easy to operate. 2 or 3 button presses and all is done for you. The milk container is fantastic as it fits on the top drawer off door in fridge. If you want a no mess convenient bean to cup machine this is what I would recommend. Makes great cappuccinos etc. I trust in this brand as I have bought quite a few items and found their aftersales impeccable.
If you read the instructions fully a very easy machine to use, it will give you excellent results for any of the coffee types you select. A good selection of instructional videos are available on line.
Makes a great coffee, cappuccino, latte and other coffees. The pre ground coffee option is also ideal for decaf coffee with normal beans for the grinder.
Only problem I experienced was getting the machine set up to serve the amount of coffee per my normal cup size. Other than that a nice coffee machine experience.
Read the manual and understand it before you use is great coffee machine
We have had three previous machines. This is by far the best of all. Especially at this price! Have paid close on 1,000 pounds, previously and they aren’t a patch on this one. Would definitely recommend.
I like this coffee maker. I have had delongi before, but this is the first one with the milk. The milk froths well but because it’s milk you have to keep it in the fridge, this can be a bit of a nuisance as you have to clean the milk spout before storing.
Amazing, worth every penny. Provides selection of freshly made coffee at touch of a button.
Love this coffee machine , you will wonder how you lived without it !!
Love this machine – had it a couple of months now and absolutely love it.
We bought this to replace a faulty earlier model we had. We decided to upgrade a little and it was definitely worth paying a little bit extra.
This machine is fantastic. Easy to use, easy to maintain and makes great coffee. We personally prefer extra strong taste and this machine delivers on all levels.
It’s not the smallest machine on the planet but it looks great on the worktop and isn’t too noisy.
The milk attachment is great too. You do need to use cold milk but we just fill it up and keep it in the fridge until the next time.
Perfect for the home coffee drinker, easy to assemble and maintain, and makes great Cappuccino/Latte.
Overall, great value for money-highly recommend.
Quick to set up and easy to use, and a really decent cup of coffee at the end. Thats all you really need to know.
The old saying is correct you only get what you pay for , may have been an expensive purchase but the quality of coffee dispensed is superior to that bought elsewhere
This machine has everything you need to make the best coffee ! The white version looks better also and is easy to clean. Highly Recommend !!
How did I survive without this wanted one for a while but very expensive. Then black Friday comes along, bingo
A) you really need convinience and want a decent coffee fast – this would be mostly a nespresso drinker. And if you were worried about capsule waste or just the high cost per capsule now averaging 40 cents there is another option which is a reusable capsule. You need to check which ones would work for your machine.
B) If you would like to drink coffee from fresh beans and your main drink type is coffee with milk (latte, capuccino, etc) then a bean to cup is definitely for you. This machine is a really good bean to cup. Its pretty easy to use (not as easy as a nespresso one) and gives you good coffee. To get a good coffee will be trial and error until you get the right grind for your beans. We are still trying to learn. With lavazza beans we are around 15 cents per capsule excluding the cost of the milk, so much lower than what we were spending in capsules. Also as some reviews here said, this machine uses a lot of water, when turning on and off but if this is to ensure the inside mechanism is clean I dont see any harm on it. You can save the water and water the plants.
C) Coffee for you is a hobby and you like to enjoy the full experience from the perfect grind to the pressure, quantity etc then something like a sage oracle would be perfect. It does require more work and more maintenance. But probably thats part of the experience too.
Myself: we drink around 3 coffees in the morning between me and husband. I drink decaff affer lunch. We both have a nespresso for the last 13 years and we were mainly drinking espresso. For us coffee means short ristretto size full of cream and body. In the morning I do like my capuccino. Whereas I love coffee since I can remember the reality is I dont have a lot of time to learn all the settings and clean the machine to keep it spot on. With this in mind Ill summarize below
Pros:
1) really easy to use (but worth reading the instructions to setup). Once youve adjusted your settings it will be pretty easy to use on a daily basis. Would recommend a dirty coffee mug when turning on and off the machine.
2) For those that drink decaf you can use ground coffee for it so you dont have to swap the beans. I normally do a rinsing after I do a decaf to ensure its all clean and ready for the next espresso.
3) You can do milk based drinks at the touch of a finger. Im still using my aeroccino as I can make the capuccino foam for a single drink without leaving anything in the container and its easier to clean I find.
4) You get the chance to use fresh beans and find the coffee that suits your taste buds.
5) The grind settings for this type of machine are not bad at all. We are still trying to learn the best combo between coffee strenght and grind.
6) pretty straightforward to clean so far and would definitely recommend a water filter to avoid a lot of descaling. I have the delonghi filters but thinking of trying the charcoal stick which I use on my water bottle to see if the machine would cope with it just to avoid plastic waste.
Cons:
1) The body / cream levels are more ‘watery’ than a nespresso. To reach this conclusion weve used the same beans on the nespresso (reusable capsule) by using the manual grinder and the eletta and even though they both look really creame the body of the nespresso was better. Theres something quite powerful of using the capsule and all that pressure inside. If only there was a machine that had a really good and compatible reusable capsule it would be fab.
2) coffee waste – here nothing wrong with the eletta as such as all of the non capsule machines suffer from the same sin. The amount of coffee needed for an espresso is almost 3 times higher than the nespresso even though its a lot cheaper than if you buy the capsules. I just wish this machines could be more efficient with coffee usage. Maybe one day.
3) Lack of cup warmer – it looks like its there but does nothing. The model above comes with the menu setting which allows to turn this feature on and off. Some people complain about coffee temperature so this would help. What I use instead is the water from turning on the machine and throw it away before taking my coffee. You can also warm your cup in the microwave.
Ill be honest here, if there were really good reusable capsules out there I would have kept the nespresso longer as the espresso has more body. But overall for the coffee user I’m happy (my husband is not as he drinks more espresso than me).
So hope this review is helpful to you.
Love it. Not cheap, but worth it. Beautiful coffee every time
Lovely machine although takes a fair while to work out. Don’t agree about temperature as there’s a dial to change that. It’s more the ‘ordering’ that’s harder if you want to variate. However machine basically cleans itself and tells you what it needs
Very pleased with our bean to cup coffee machine, we bought it as our Christmas present to each other!. It’s been lovely having nice coffee every morning. Especially as at the moment we can’t have coffee out.
The grinder is a little noisy but don’t see how they’d make that quieter, makes a smaller cup than we are used to but I sometime just have 2 cups. You can adjust a lot of things, we haven’t got used to all of them as yet. For those who find the coffee is not hot enough, you can turn the setting up to high and I find it’s best to run some hot water into the cup to warm it before you begin.
an excellent machine does exactly what it said on the box.
Easy to use with your coffee set it’s always the same good coffee as you like i
Don’t know why we waited so long to get one of these machines! A week into opening one if these machines and very pleased with it and the quality of coffee produced!
Really pleased. Had Nespresso machine for many years but was fed up with the ever increasing cost and waste aluminium. This machine produces coffee every bit as good but with a lot more control over the end result. Needs a bit of getting through the instructions but very straight forward once you’ve worked through them once. Don’t get put off by the huge amount of instruction manuals, you get a full set for every conceivable language! Looks great in the kitchen and produces wonderful coffee
Super easy to clean, easy to make coffee. I would prefer a teeny bit hotter but makes a beautiful coffee. Very quick. Neater and more compact than I imagined which is good, fits in neatly in the kitchen. VERY pleased with it!
Had this model for about 8 years. It started to give a bit of trouble and I decided to replace it with the same model, after all the old one made over sixteen thousand cups of coffee.
Took about 30 minutes to set up, perfect coffee
Lovely and so easy to use, however you do need to buy descaler and filters as both are needed very regularly.
I think it is really fabulous looking machine. It makes incredible coffee bean to cup. No issues at all. I look forward every morning to a lovely fresh coffee.
Had a Krupps for a number of Years but decided to replace it with this Delonghi when it broke down.
What a difference. Great coffee, hot and easy to use and clean. Pay the premium and get the quality.
Throughly recommended.
I can’t go to the coffee shop, so I brought the coffee shop home.
From delivery, out of the box and making stellar Lattes in 10 minutes. What a marvelous machine this is! Everything from Espresso to Latte done lickety split with next to no effort from the user.
Very cool ,, you should only follow the instructions and practice more to get all the coffee you wa
This machine is wonderful, makes a very tasty and creamy coffee, and a very frothy cappuccino. It is very easy to use and to clean. It’s all you need to say bye bye to the expensive pods, saving the environment while saving money in the long run.
It is also very easy to costumize, which allows you to set your own ratio of milk to coffee on your drinks, or set how large your “long coffee” is.
For those who say the drink is not hot enough, follow the manual and increase temperature on the menu, it comes from factory set to 2/4. Don’t warm up the milk as it makes it your drink less frothy and less tasty, and you won’t be able to store it again on the fridge.
As good as this machine is, if you feel it’s still not quite like the coffee from your favourite coffee shop, there’s a reason those machines cost 15 grand. Get real because this is a very good quality domestic machine and makes excellent coffee.
I’d like that it is one touch coffee machine, makes great coffee so long as you have good quality beans. You don’t have to do rinsing or cleaning in between cups if you are making multiple cups. We were unlucky, unfortunately ours was a faulty product. We had to return it even though we liked it. Customer Support was excellent. We were refunded straightaway. However, since we liked the machine and want to re-purchase, we should have been given a replacement option rather than paying current price. We had a good deal on our original purchase and are disappointed that we can’t get the same product for the same price even though it was a faulty item. Back to choosing coffee machine again.
If it runs out of water/beans mid cycle you can’t top it up and continue you have to top it up and start again. Otherwise a good machine
Love this machine, so easy to use & clean.. lots of different options, hardly ever use the kettle now. It was definitely worth it.
As good as if not better than many coffee shops. Have set up all my favourite drinks as I want them. Very easy to keep clean also.
Really great coffee and simple to use, downsides, metal cup tray scratches easily, two bean hoppers would be useful to enable a switch between decaf and normal coffee. Overall though it’s very good
Forget the price and treat yourself very good product bean to cup is all I can drink now very happy, did have issue less than 6months but replaced no questions
This is my first professional coffee maker and I feel that this was a good choice. However, there is few things which I feel could been improved in this machine.
Pros/Features:
– Does excellent coffee and fluffs milk well
– Burr grinder allows to choose fineness level of your coffee
– You can use pre-grounded coffee too, and machine remembers this setting
– You can set water temperature
– You can crudely customize levels of water and milk in your favourite coffees (more on that later)
– You can create your own coffee recipe (only one)
– It can give you just coffee/water/milk so you can get rid of your old kettle
Cons/Useful usage tips:
– Grinding adjustment (little dial inside coffee beans container) can be adjusted ONLY when mill is in operation! Meaning, when coffee is about to be grinded, be ready, have a lid open and adjust quickly when mill starts to operate. I feel that this has not been emphasized enough and explained in the manual. Do not force the dial, it won’t move when mill is not in use, you may break it!
– There is few coffee types available in this machine: Cappuccino (Max. milk froth setting), Macchiatto/Flat White (Min. froth setting) and Caffelatte (No froth). You have to adjust froth level manually before making coffee. Make sure you remember these settings, otherwise you are not making coffee as designed. Manual should have these settings explained in some more prominent place.
– You can customize and adjust amounts of water and milk in your favourite coffees by doing “live” example, which machine will remember: Press button for milk to start, when done press again to stop, then water with coffee will go and you press button again to stop water. This is very unreliable and not precise, because it solely relies on your measurement each time. Also, you can’t customize coffee beans amount at all, just water and milk. Temperature cannot be set per coffee also, setting is for all coffees. For example, you feel that you want to remove 20ml of milk or add 20ml of water to your favourite coffee? No chance, you have to make a coffee from the scratch and machine will remember what you did again. By doing it again “live”, you changing both milk and coffee values and each time you destroy that perfect amount of ingredient you may have achieved previously.
Very nice coffee maker if you like coffee so much you must have i
Good product. Had it for 3 months. Works better than my old Delonghi machine that lasted me 10 years.
Great product. Easy to assemble easy to use and makes excellent cappuccino. Only complaint is tha message recommending descaling reappears about two weeks after you have done it when it really only needs to be done every two to three months.
I absolutely love my new coffee maker. It is very easy to use and makes the perfect cup of coffee every time. It looks very stylish.
The only disappointment is the fact that some of the lettering is missing from the display (see attached photo)
I used to have a manual Delonghi which broke down after 12 years, decided to treat myself to one of these. Been having 2 coffees a day for two months and no complaints.
Pros:
+ Same coffee does taste better
+ Can customise one coffee, the rest of options are good too
+ Feel solid and has a reassuring click when you put it together
+ Price is good when I sale (I bought near half price, 480)
Slight cons:
– Arrow buttons are too close to the other ones, as it’s touch screen you could touch a wrong button (no issues as you can cancel any operations with click of any buttons)
– The while paint can come off so gotta be careful smashing things to it
– Milk temperature is good, just can’t be customised
Will give an update if any issues arise.
Wow, I love it, saving a fortune making lattes at home
instead of going in the coffee shops.
Easy to operate and clean.
Looks fantastic in the kitchen too.
For all coffee lovers this is a machine and a half. Well worth the money and amazon warehouse quality is great. As new like described. Best coffee machine I have ever had
Easy to use and clean. Works well with non-dairy milk alternatives too. Plenty of options to choose from and strength according to your taste. I’m extremely happy with this product.
These machines are quite needy, like a high maintenance wife (or should I say partner of either gender or none), you love them, and want to keep them, but they are a bit of a pain in the neck:
1. The water tank will need filling up regularly, at least once a day, (if you have a family all using it 3 or 4 times a day) – it holds about a litre I would say at a guess, but if you think that you will get a litre of coffee from that you would be very mistaken. When you switch on the machine it warms up by flushing warm water through the machine, and when you switch it off it does the same. So that uses a lot of water.
2. Don’t expect it to make Starbucks or Costa size lattes etc. my machine doesn’t and I doubt any other one does either. Mine dispenses small, Italian sized, lattes/cappuccinos, by default. Now it is true that this machine allows you to vary the amount of milk that gets dispensed and the amount of coffee too. So the first thing that I did was program the cappuccino button to give me a big mug full. The problem with that is that the amount of coffee grains is the same it just runs more boiling water through them so that by the end it’s quite weak. So it sort of works, but i didn’t think it was great. It might be ok if you like fairly weak coffee, but if you are an extra shot type of person it probably won’t do. At the moment i find it easier to just put two small cappucinos into one mug as it tastes better but obviously takes a bit longer to sort out.
3. The milk container is pretty good, but you obviously have to store it in the fridge between making drinks. Also after you have finished making your drink, or drinks, you have to set the dial on the milk dispenser to “clean”, which flushes hot water through the milk container pipes – this uses even more water in the tank (see 1 above). You also need to clean the milk container manually every day or two.
4. specific to this machine, other people have mentioned that the metal drip tray cover scratches – and it does. if that is going to freak you out this might not be the machine for you. True you could buy glass mugs with a smooth bottom, but most of those can’t be put in the dishwasher. Also putting the milk container on and pushing the water tank in place also marks the drip tray cover and there is nothing you can do about that. Somebody said that it’s made of plastic with silver paint, but to me it looks, feels and sounds like solid metal so I don’t think it will ever look too bad – even with the scratches.
5. All the water from rinses and cleaning the milk container tubes has to go somewhere. By default it will got into the drip tray. The drip tray isn’t that big so if you allowed that to happen you would be emptying the drip tray a lot. I put a plastic tray over the trip tray to catch the water because it’s easier to empty this rather than keep pulling the drip tray out and emptying it.
6. The used coffee grounds go into an area behind the drip tray – you will need to empty this every few days depending on use.
7. The manual recommends you give the internal gubbins a full clean fairly regularly – I haven’t tried that yet. You have to descale the inside too – I have’t done that either yet, and they recommend a water filter is fitted and replaced at regular intervals. I don’t know how much the descaling fluid and filters cost
So in conclusion, I love the coffee and don’t regret buying this machine, but it is needy. It bleeps when it wants more water, it bleeps for you to empty the drip tray, it bleeps when the coffee grounds need emptying, it bleeps when it wants more coffee beans – so it does a lot of bleeping! If you want a machine that you just switch on and forget, while it dispenses cup after cup of coffee with no input from you then this (or I suspect any other) bean to cup machine is not for you.
Has been a solid machine over the past year, had no troubles. Has handled all bean types great. Don’t use the finest grind as can struggle with some bean types, but have experienced no taste consequence. Every program customizable for volume. Would say machine is designed more for smaller coffess rather than larger (can’t adjust how much coffee is ground only amount of water used), but can use ‘double coffee’ portions if you want larger coffees. Requires fairly regular cleaning of the milk container to avoid milk turning bad, but this is to be expected. Use britta filtered water in it in a very hard water area and no issues as of yet, with periodic decalcification.
I love this machine! First venture into the Bean2Cup machines and wish I had done it earlier. Its just so easy to make great coffee everytime. Only feature I would like is to plumb it into a water supply, but git into routine of filling up water, empty tray and grounds at night to avoid the morning stress.
Great machine. Very nice brew. Star knocked off due to terrible service from Hermes.
I’m glad I spent a bit more than originally planned when looking for a Bean to Cup.
I read reviews saying it’s hard to setup and it’s not hot enough but I disagree. It was fairly self explanatory to setup as is the digital menu. The coffee is hot and you can adjust it up or down to suit your liking. You can also change the coffee strength and volumes to suit your taste and cup sizes. Water tank is a fair size, the front loading makes life easier too as this machine is on a worktop underneath wall units. The Cup warming plate is another good feature But you need to set the auto on timer if you want warm cups in the morning. I use the same Lavazza beans I use in my machine at my office (which was almost twice the price!) and I find the result even better with this DeLonghi!
Very good decision to buy this coffee machine,i use delonghi for more than 6 years but this machine is amazing
Easy set up. Produces a great coffee with excellent crema. Plenty of beverage options and all customisable to suit your taste. Rinses itself to keep clean. Looks fab. Very happy with my purchase
I was slightly worried about reviews saying the coffee was not hot enough. This is definitely not a real issue. It is plenty hot enough. I did increase the default temp by one click but am completely happy on that front. I like the ability to customise each drink. After a bit of practice I find it easy to use and like what it turns out.
This is an excellent product with not many faults. The only issue we got is to try and make the fine beans set a level one where the machine does not cry and any beans but left to level three or above then it works perfectly fine.
Makes great coffee. Quite noisy and a remembering game on the operation if you don’t use it regularly
Makes a perfect cup of coffee so easy to use
Would be better if it warned when coffee beans and water need to be refilled before preparing the coffee as it doesn’t resume if they run ou
Every option is customisable so if you’re not happy with the default amounts of milk and coffee, they can be adjusted independently.
To those concerned about the temperature of milk produced, I would say the machine makes warm, ready to drink milk coffees – Italians just don’t do extra hot milk coffee drinks! If you like your coffee UK-coffee-chain-hot, or usually like your coffee extra hot, I suggest you froth the milk manually using the wand. This is what my hubby likes to do (he likes his coffee scaldingly hot), I froth my dairy free milk using the jug and this works a treat for us.
We like Lavazza Rosso beans and use setting nr.r 3 on the grinder. If you’ve been thinking of buying a bean to cup coffee machine, you won’t be disappointed. Makes delicious coffee and will save money in the long run.
Everything about this machine is amazing bar a couple of things which I’ve not been able to rectify myself – these may be user error but I don’t think so. Dont let the below stop you from buying, it is a top quality machine.
Firstly, the bean container doesn’t tell when it needs to be refilled, but will still attempt to make a coffee even if empty or almost empty. Its not the end of the world but means you have to throw out a coffee once in 50 maybe.
Secondly, the drip tray being full doesn’t trigger a notification to empty the drip tray – I’ve had this a few months now and it has never told me when to empty – more often than not it ends up overflowing and moving it to the sink while full inevitably leads to water all over the floor. The fix is just to empty it more frequently but its not something I think about and I feel a machine of this caliber should give fair warning. Everything else about this machine is perfect, it makes a flawless cup every single time – needs to be descaled about once per month, and filter change (hard water area) about once every 2 months.
Our old delonghi bean to cup died after 4 and a half years of heavy use so it was time for an upgrade. This is superb perfect choice of bean strength a great selection of coffees and I no longer have to mess about failing at frothing my milk. One thing I didn’t realise is this brews a perfect cup of tea with the hot water tea tap so for my wife that was an absolute winner as the tap comes out at the core edge speed to brew a proper cuppa. All in all very happy and something that is defo worth the purchase in these strange times of working from home. Top work delinghi.
It would be 5 stars if milk was hot. I need to microwave it to get it to the level I like. My previous 80 quid machine from lidl with auto frothing could manage just fine. Why this cannot?
Outstanding machine! Nearly 100 cups made and a brilliant machine, researched these more than I should have and I haven’t been disappointed! Depends on which coffee bean you use though and my flavour of choice at the moment is Kimbo coffee, we moved recently leaving behind an integrated Seimens coffee mach which was good and considerably more expensive than the Delonghi, however the coffee I’m enjoying now is far better than in the previous machine, no hesitation in recommending this machine to others!
I bought this machine to replace my old Magnifica, which I’d had for 15 years! This one is a step up and I love it.
The coffee is perfect with a good cream. The latte’s are light and fluffy and all coffee’s are piping hot.
I cannot rate how easy it is to clean yet.
Well done De’Longhi.
This is our second bean to cup machine and we are very happy with it. Really easy to use and maintain. Makes a great cup of coffee!
On flaws: it was immediately apparent that by comparison the DeLonghi Eletta had a couple of design features that were less convenient, notably an integrated coffee bean hopper so you could not easily swap beans out (particularly annoying since my partner drinks decaf and I need my caffeine!) Also, it uses the same nozzle to attach the water dispenser and milk frother, so they have to be swapped around. Final beef is that it reminds you to empty the coffee grounds drawer when it is only 25% full!
That apart, this machine is relatively simple and intuitive to use, makes decent coffee and looks the part. It’s reliable and does the job, the most you can ask of any machine!
Ordered one, tried setting it up and wouldn’t work. Contacted Amazon the following morning who arranged an exchange straight away. The following day my replacement arrived (free of charge), the broken one needed to be returned within 14 days. Amazing service Amazon!
Got the replacement one setup within minutes – coffee is great, highly recommend
Coffee tastes great. Easy to clean and use.
I would like more adjustment of the pre sets. You can change the amount of coffee poured but if you choose more it just makes it watery. I can’t see how you can change the strength or length of the pre set coffees (Is Cappacino or Flat White).
Additionally it always produces milk first when creating the presets. But a flat white should have milk added to coffee.
Overall happy. You get more personalisation from more expensive machines but it is the main downside of this one.
This is better than the sage machine and easer to use worth 10/10
Great bean to cup machine, I picked this one for the high capacity bean hopper, water tank etc which means a good few days of use before it needs attention. Coffee Tastes amazing.
You will never drink an instant coffe again. And I’m drinking twice more coffe than beforw.
Only issue I have is having to empty the grounds container when it’s only half full, that aside this delongi is excellent.
The coffe machine arrived on time. Make nice coffee, cappucino , latter, easy to clean. Can be used with either bean coffee or groud coffeee.great for decaf option of espresso cappucino, latte
I love it’s versatility and ease of use. Most importantly the flavour is great And you can basically have whatever size and strength you want at the touch of a button.
As with all people who spend this much on a coffee machine I’d deliberated for ages, watching and reading reviews. I ended up very happy with my purchase. Great coffee, easy to clean and fits perfectly in a gap in my kitchen. Seriously impressed. And on that note, I’m off for a double espresso.
A great coffee and really easy to use, anything with milk is a bit of effort with the milk dispenser that then needs to be cleaned … modern life challenges hey!!
Once set up this makes a lovely cup of coffee and cappuccino and long coffee very pleased at the moment but only used for a day so far!!
Also makes a lovely hot chocolate with the steam frothed in my milk and then poring my chocolate mix into the hot milk lovely for those chilly days or night.
It’s a very good coffee machine. So pleased with it. My baby
My second De’Longhi coffee machine. I am happy with the results. I was initially skeptical about the long coffee option since some reviews indicated it make cold coffee… that is far from the truth! The long coffees are hot. If using homemade nut milk, make sure the milk is well strained to avoid blockage.
What a coffee machine the coffee it makes is in my opinion is better than some of the coffee you get from the cafe’s out there The machine is so easy to use with the soft touch buttons nice size of bean hopper and water tank 10 star if I could dont look no further just get it.
O absolutely love this coffee machine. It looks amazing on my kitchen counted, it allows you to customise your drinks to the size an amount of milk and coffee you desire.
It tells you whenever you need to fill up the tank, empty the coffee container and it self cleanse every time you use it.
The only downside is the instructions are so long and you really need to read them all in order to make the most out of it.
Other than that, best purchase ever!!!!
This was purchased as a replacement for a De’Longhi EC860 ‘pump expresso’ machine.
Comparison:
Pro’s
This machine is much cleaner and more convenient being a full beans-to-cup model
Clear, simple menu for operation
Alerts for water level, beans, grounds bin. I used to get concerned at the old machine running a dry pump when water ran out
Stylish modern clean looks
Good coffee when you have set it up for personal taste
Cons :
It’s large.
Compulsory Automatic rinsing at switch on / off is a bit of a pain, unless you want to clean drip tray frequently you need a container under the dispenser
It’s a bit slow from start to finish
It doesn’t make as good coffee as the old machine and uses more of it per cup. I think our usage has risen about 30%.
Conclusion
I miss the coffee quality of the old machine, but tbh there’s not much in it. The cleanliness and convenience of this machine outweigh any negatives. Just hope it lasts as many cycles as the old one
I love this thing. Easy to use. Easy to clean and much better coffee when you use beans. Only thing is I put it on two cup setting for one cup as I use a proper size mug
What a fantastic machine!
When it arrived my mother exclaimed, “what on earth is that!” After a lot of explaining and quite a bit of pulling and unwrapping the machine was in our kitchen. Much to my mother and father amazement it fit under the kitchen cabinets, the scepticism was part due to the sheer size of the box this beast comes in.
A fantastic machine and so easy to set up and use! It seems daunting at first, however when you realise what you have to do it’s so simple and intuitive.
Press “milk menu” and “ok” for a scrumptious Latte! Or simply press one of the pre programmed buttons and it whirs into action!
I will warn you all now, at first this mammoth machine did make me jump out of my skin! When you first set it up there is air in the “professional quality pump” this pump tries to push the air out and suck in water. During this process the sound is the equivalent to a jack hammer at close range. However this is only during the initial set up! And after that you get used to the whirs and clicks it makes.
All in all a fabulous machine that makes gorgeous coffee!
I like the type of coffee it’s predused by the machine
It not that much easy to use specially to change the quantity of milk and coffee
