Advantages: Takes Pods as well as Ground Coffee, has removable water tank, great value for money Disadvantages: Won't take a mug, takes a while to warm up, pods not easy to come by
The Delonghi EC330S is very stylish and would look good in any kitchen.
I found the best thing about this machine is that it takes pods as well as ground coffee, and the water tank is removable so no need to take a jug to the tank to fill it up. The cup warmer is a pleasant addition.
I am however disappointed that it won't take a mug, so a large cup is ideal if you want a cappuccino. Also it does takes a while for the machine to warm up, and the pods aren't that easy to come by in the shops, so stock up when you find them or buy them online.
Overall this is a great mahcine for people who don't want to spend a fortune, or for the begginers as it is very easy to use. 9/10 ...
Advantages: makes lovely coffee quickly - cheap - makes up to 10 cups Disadvantages: bulky
I bought my DelonghiICM2B for £25 from Comet rather than pay £300+ for a coffee machine with more technology than NASA. I have a serious addiction to caffeine and without it cannot function at all first thing in the morning so I needed a cheap and quick no frills coffee maker and I got it with this beast.
EASE OF USE
It is a doddle to use the coffee maker. Filter papers are inserted into the top section that swings out to make it easier - coffee is measured out and put on top of the filter and the water reserved is topped up with water - The water line is marked off with the number of cups the machine will make - The maximum being 10.
Once the above has been done you are ready to roll and the power switch is flicked on and the water starts to warm - bubbling and quiet gurgling sounds as it makes its way up from the reserve ...
