Review on De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine in Silver - Enjoy Your Perfect Brew Every Time! by Kai Wen ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

We bought a DeLonghi ESAM 3000B coffee machine for work (by the way, it reads "Delonghi", not "delonghi"). I liked it. 3 months later I took the same home. I read the reviews on the Market, laughed. 90% of negative reviews are doubtful and in my opinion - unreliable. The coffee turns out excellent, strong, fragrant, with an appetizing thick foam, delicious. Unless, of course, you buy good coffee, and pour it into a heated small cup (35 ml or 70 for a double espresso). Noisy? All coffee machines are noisy. This one is acceptable. Frequently changed settings (the amount of water and grains per serving) are conveniently made - the knobs next to the buttons for choosing 1 or 2 servings are visual and simple to genius. Coffee temperature settings (see "Disadvantages") and water hardness are made once, everything is clearly described in the instructions. Adjustment of a degree of a grinding - under a cover of a coffee grinder. Set to "3". Care is minimal: in the morning they drank coffee, shook out the pulp into the trash, rinsed the container for the cake and the tray under the tap. The whole cleaning takes 15-20 seconds. Rinse the brew head every 2 weeks. Leaving the pulp until the next day is for sluts. Once every 2-3 months (according to the experience of using it at work), you need to decalcify, the remedy for the first such procedure is included, then I’m going to use a purchased branded one: a bottle for 4 decalcifications cost 876, we bought 3 of these (where you bought it - the Internet to help). In principle, you can use citric acid, but I would not. It is recommended to lubricate the brewing head with silicone grease once every six months, we bought a tube in reserve. In general, the purchase is satisfied, I recommend! I don’t write comments on my reviews as a matter of principle, I don’t answer questions, I don’t enter into discussions. Any third-party comments on my review, signed by my nickname or similar to it, I propose to consider a priori "Creativity of the mentally ill" ((C) A. and B. Strugatsky, "Monday starts on Saturday"), since with a similar subject on aliexpress I already encountered. His comments are below.

Pros
  • Makes delicious coffee, easy to care for, easy to use, manufacturer's warranty - 5 years (for those bought in 2022 and later - 3 years, but I was lucky). Exceptionally reliable. With careful care that does not require much effort, it can serve for many years.
Cons
  • The disadvantages of this coffee machine are a continuation of its advantages: its reliability, practicality and the wonderful coffee it makes make it the envy of those who cannot afford it. The instructions for the coffee machine are voluminous and describe everything that is possible. Therefore, it is rarely read. The most common question - how to raise the temperature of coffee - many have not found an answer. And so I quote: Temperature setting. If it is necessary to change the temperature of the coffee dispensing water, proceed as follows: 1. With the machine turned off, but the main switch is in position 1 (fig. 3), press the 1-cup button and keep it pressed until the indicators on the control panel light up. 2. Press the button with 2 cups to select the desired temperature (I explain: 1, 2, 3 or 4 LEDs light up. The more LEDs are on, the hotter the coffee will be). 3. Press the 1 cup button to confirm your selection. The indicators will turn off.
