Review on DeLonghi ECAM 23.120.B by Anastazja Jdrzejewsk ᠌

I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.

Very disappointed with the machine and the company in general. I use different coffee machines, at work there were saeks, a Jura terminator, and a dull 6-year-old Magnifica. At the cottage, an old Delonghi horn. So. For 6 years, Delonga has no differences in taste and brewing of coffee. Here at all. All models, both esam and ecam, have the same brewing units, so I recommend taking more expensive only if this is an important factor in the design of your kitchen, because it makes no sense to overpay just like that. Delongi used to be associated with reliability. What an ancient horn, what a workhorse survived a lot of abuse. They are used in the tail and mane without much care and they do not care. The experience of this machine was sad for me, for 6 months of owning it 3! thrice, Carl! I had to take it to the service . As a result, they wrote an act about the impossibility of repair and returned the money. An error constantly popped up, too fine grinding or air in the system, they changed the pump under warranty, it didn’t help, it turned out to be a defective control board . They drew up an act of impossibility of repair and returned the money, which makes me incredibly happy in my heart. About coffee . There is no espresso mode, but there is a long mode. I have not yet met people who would drink or use this type of preparation. I'm not sure that as much caffeine will benefit anyone as this regimen does. Ordinary coffee is watery and without characteristic, although the grains are the same as I drink on other machines. It was not possible to play with fine grinding, it broke earlier. On medium settings, the coffee is slop, but fragrant. In general, I would not recommend the Delonghi machine, neither this nor the other.

Pros
  • Nice thick plastic case Large grounds collecting tray
Cons
  • Does not tolerate voltage drops, even very small ones Brews watery and mediocre coffee Very flimsy water bottle Noisy, louder than other brands Unreliable control box Archaic control buttons for such a price Useless coffee brewing modes Poor build quality and backlash Washing the water collection tray is a big problem, if there is no ppm, mark my word When flushing, it drains a wagon of water, get ready to constantly pour water only for these purposes If the water is over, it simply resets the program, although most machines are now paused Uncomfortable naparello. It whips milk tolerably, but it's just uncomfortable. Very tall, short, remove and put on for washing, too, hemorrhoids
