Review on De "Longhi ECAM 23.460 coffee machine, black by Patejl Patejlson



As a coffee enthusiast, the quest for the perfect cup of coffee has been a lifelong journey for me. My passion for the beverage has led me to explore various coffee brewing methods and machines. Recently, I had the opportunity to indulge in the De'Longhi ECAM 23.460 coffee machine. After several weeks of using this machine, I can confidently say that it has transformed my coffee ritual into an extraordinary experience.



The De'Longhi has modern design. The machine is a great addition to my kitchen countertop. Its compact size ensures it doesn't occupy too much space, a significant advantage for those with limited kitchen space.







The materials used feel sturdy and durable, assuring me that this investment will last for years. The intuitive control panel, accompanied by a user-friendly digital display, made navigation and customization effortless, even for a first-time user like me.



When it comes to brewing performance, it features a powerful 15-bar pressure pump, ensuring a consistently rich and flavorful extraction from the coffee grounds. The machine's customizable settings allowed me to adjust the strength and size of each cup to suit my preferences.







One standout feature is the integrated burr grinder. Freshly ground beans significantly enhance the coffee's taste, and this machine delivers precisely that. I appreciated how I could adjust the grind size to accommodate different beans, unlocking a world of flavors I had yet to experience.



Additionally, the dual heating system ensures that the water reaches the optimal temperature quickly, resulting in a near-instantaneous brewing process. This was especially helpful during busy mornings when I needed a quick caffeine fix to kickstart my day.



As a fan of milk-based coffee beverages, I was eager to test the machine's milk frothing capabilities. The machine is equipped with a high-quality stainless steel steam wand that produces creamy froth, ideal for lattes and cappuccinos. The adjustable steam control allowed me to achieve the perfect froth texture according to my liking.



Using the steam wand did require some practice, but once I got the hang of it, I was delighted with the results. I found myself making cafe-quality lattes and cappuccinos right in the comfort of my home. It added a touch of barista-style finesse to my coffee-making routine, which I thoroughly enjoyed.







Keeping the machine in top-notch condition proved to be relatively hassle-free. The machine features a removable brew group and drip tray, making cleaning and maintenance easy. I appreciated the automatic rinse cycle that activated each time I turned the machine on or off, ensuring that the internal components stayed clean and free from coffee residue.



The water reservoir and bean hopper are easily accessible and can be removed without any fuss. The machine also provides clear indicators when it's time to descale or clean specific parts, streamlining the maintenance process.



Using the coffee machine has been a truly transformative experience for me. It has elevated my coffee-making ritual from a mundane task to a delightful and fulfilling daily routine. The ability to customize each cup's size, strength, and grind, coupled with the convenience of milk frothing, has brought out the barista within me.



The machine's consistency in producing exceptional coffee has made my morning coffee ritual something I look forward to each day. The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, the smoothness of the crema, and the perfectly frothed milk have all become a part of my morning meditation. Additionally, the ease of use and quick brewing time has been a lifesaver during busy mornings, allowing me to enjoy my favorite beverages without delay.
