Review on DeLonghi ECAM22110SB Silver Espresso Machine, 13.8 Inches by Rimba ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

The last straw in the purchase decision was the deterioration in the quality of instant coffee, which I had been drinking for 10 years before. I chose it based on reviews on the J. Market and on the experience of using a Bosch coffee machine at work. I refused an automatic cappuccino machine because I don’t drink cappuccino often, but, as a colleague at work said, it takes a long time to clean it. In general, the purchase is satisfied. Even the cheap coffee taken to tune the machine was not so terrible. By the way, I recommend "playing around with the settings" on cheap coffee, and then go to sleep with your favorite. Diagnosis: if you love coffee and want to enjoy a delicious drink at a reasonable price, and besides, sometimes you like to treat yourself and those around you with cappuccino, then this coffee machine is ideal.

Pros
  • 1. No noise. There is something to compare, because Bosch is at work. When he begs for coffee, he makes noise like a tractor. 2. Build quality. All joints, both mobile and stationary, are perfectly made. 3. The presence of a water sensor. It turned out to be very convenient, because the coffee maker indicates the lack of water, before the preparation process has begun. 4. Easy to clean. For three people who consume coffee daily, I clean every two days (of course, not a full tray for water and oilcake), spending less than a minute on it. 5. Possibility to set water hardness and hardness test strip. I still don’t understand how this can be done without changing the chemistry of the water, and maybe it’s just a marketing ploy, but it seems to work. 6. Existence of the softening filter in a set. I really did not put it, but the fact itself is already pleasing. )) 7. Ability to enable and disable ECO mode. This is definitely a marketing ploy. Because the consumption class is written "better than A" WITH ECO MODE ON. How can this be because: the boiler heats up longer with less power, which is equivalent to the same energy. 8. Method for extracting the water tank. It turned out to be very convenient when it moves forward, which allows you to install the coffee machine between other appliances and at the same time pour water without any problems.
Cons
  • More quibbles than flaws. 1. A small portion of water. Of course, I understand that coffee should not be drunk in buckets, but using mugs of 0.3 liters at home, I'm used to drinking it almost full. So the mode for setting the amount of water allows you to pour only half. This is partially offset by the ability to set the amount for both a small mug and a large one. As well as the inclusion of the dual water mode. 2. Despite the rather large tray for water, the developers considered it necessary to make a separate "tray" (less than a matchbox size) for condensate. Why this had to be done is not clear.

Some pros: There is a cappuccinatore, there is a compartment for ground coffee, a fairly convenient layout of the compartments. Has cons: Quite noisy. This applies to both the process of grinding beans and the process of making coffee as such.

Is there really no service center that can come and service the coffee machine?
