Review on DeLonghi ECAM22110SB Silver Espresso Machine, 13.8 Inches by Agata Gawlik-Strzele ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

In 2022, I made my initial purchase of a Delonghi Magnifica ECAM 2220220. Was as content as a happy elephant. Never before have I experienced such a full-bodied cup of coffee as when I brewed it in my typewriter at home. After using it, I was relieved that I had only spent a small fortune on such an amazing computer. However, this time last year, during the summer, the machine stopped working. I was frustrated and took it to get fixed. This year I came to the conclusion that I also needed a machine at work, so instead of purchasing a new one, I chose to bring the one I already had with me to work. This comes as a complete and utter shock! A new machine with the same index cooks Poorly! The foam is not saturated, which contributes to its instability. Even if I create a few short shots of espresso, there is no saturation, I end up with some kind of watery coffee, and it has no flavor. Every experiment was carried out in the exact same manner. Everything about the machines, including the configuration, starts with a single bundle of grains. The new typewriter makes a mess of the coffee, and the old one was better! The following are some things that I've noticed about the new machine: 1. The grinding on the smallest setting produces a much larger amount. 2. Grinding time at maximum strength is almost the same as other settings, and it (grinding time) is much less than on the old machine 3. The density of the cake "tablets" is significantly lower, and the cake crumbles, just like bricks, as it gets older. 4. The new one was manufactured in Romania, whereas the older one was manufactured in Italy. 10 year difference. The brewing block looks the same. This is a learning experience.

Pros
  • Affordable for the most part
Cons
  • Prepares food less successfully than its predecessor. Information will be provided in the comments.
