The Delonghi EC330S

Advantages: Great tasting coffee, good at steaming milk. Easy to clean. Price
Disadvantages: Quite loud.

I recently bought this coffee machine after replacing a filter machine. The difference between the two is huge. Personally, I've only recently developed a taste for coffee, but it makes some of the best I have ever taster, even compared with some Coffee shops. Advantages There are many things while are brilliant about this product. The epsresso It produces contains a strong aroma, and it produces a perfect crema. I prefer to use ground coffee ...
...better result over all, However, with the version I got it also came with some free Illy pods so I have managed to test those aswell. The Steam arm comes with both a single, and double shot holder for the coffee. The look of the machine overall is brilliant. The silver produces a stylish machine, even if it does get dirty quite easily. Its also quite small, although make sure you have enough room for it to wobble slightly when making the coffee. ...

Review of Delonghi EC330S

Delonghi magnifica for serious coffee drinkers

Advantages: Heats up quickly. Takes coffee beans or ground coffee.
Disadvantages: A little noisy on automatic coffee grinding.

The machine does not do filter coffee. It grinds beans or you can use ground coffee. You cannot use instant, however with the cost of this machine one would not want to use instant! It makes a wonderful cup of coffee, or if you wish two at a time. The coffee is always hot. There are adjustments for coffee grinding strength and the amount of hot water used depending on size of cup. The arm for frothing the milk is superb and the milk gets really hot ...
...It has a light to let you know when it is time to descale the machine. The used coffee grouts drop into a container which is easy to remove and clean. A small light comes on when this container needs emptying. This machine is for serious coffee drinkers because it is quite expensive. Having had a similiar machine before I personally would only have the same again. The reason I needed a new one was the old was 20 years old and wasSwiss. The joy of ...

Review of Delonghi EAM3200S Espresso

Waking you up with style.

Advantages: Great coffee.
Disadvantages: An expensive way to make coffee.

...was pleasantly surprised. The Delonghi ESAM 5500 Perfecta (Who comes up with these names?) was very easy to use. Just fill up with water and milk, chuck some coffee beans in (literally if you feel like a spot of basket ball) and off you go. It allows for a large variety of coffees, although not as many as starbucks does, and allows you to change lot’s of settings to fine tune your coffee such as coffee strength, fineness of grind, water heat and ...
...fit the cup size you are using or you end up wasting coffee, and making a mess). After a good mess around with these settings, you will find a cup of coffee that suits you. The machine produces excellent cups of coffee and saves you the time consuming activity of making them yourself, although to be honest the coffee it makes is better than mine, and it puts froth on the top. It also has an automatic three hour switch off feature if you forget. ...

Review of Delonghi ESAM 5500 Perfecta

Cafe Coffee could not be any easier!

Advantages: One touch button cappuccino, Self cleans, fully customisable settings.
Disadvantages: Not able to use regular coffee mugs as the spout is too low.

This machine really makes light task of preparing coffee, producing the best blend of coffee. I have had my machine for nearly 2 years now and i would never buy any other machine. This machine grinds the beans (to the coarseness of your choice), it then froths the milk and makes the best cappuccino ever. You can even program it to the size of your cups so that it knows how much is needed to fill your size of cup. When its done it rinses itself and ...
...of this machine is you can't use regular size coffee cups with it, i had to go out and buy the low and wide cappuccino cups especially for the machine. That is the only flaw there is with this machine. Another great feature is it lets you know when it needs to be descaled, it does this with a simple touch of a button and all you then have to do is just put the solution in the jug and it does the rest. Really one of my best buys ever! ...

Review of Delonghi ESAM 6600

Crem or no Crema? that is the question.

Advantages: Ease of use and Cleaning.
Disadvantages: Not the taste - no crema

...The crema was amazing. This Delonghi needs something similar. Recommendation is a ‘NO’ purely because of the crema issue. The whole point of buying an expresso machine is to experience coffee as it should be tasted. Unfortunately the experience is more like a coffee filter machine offering, with frothy milk. My taste has been developed from drinking coffee in Italy and Spain. ...
