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

I bought a coffee machine for myself and my wife on February 14th. We both drink coffee, we have been thinking about an independent unit for a long time. A spontaneous decision "let's buy now" led to a short choice based on reviews on the . market and pointed to this model. It also bribed the fact that with an average price of such machines of 25 thousand, we saw this one for 16900. We were lucky - the very next day after the order, the price in the same store for it rose to 23500 :) Pros: coffee from it is pleasantly different from "custard", when you brew ground coffee in a cup. With instant coffee, of course, there is nothing to compare - heaven and earth. A good cappuccinatore - in ordinary milk, 3.2% makes a gorgeous foam. It is convenient to take out the water tank. Tablets of "waste" coffee neatly fall into a container for them, almost nothing gets past. Cons / nuances: - Noisy. Although if you close the door to the kitchen - it is quite acceptable. - When switched on and off, it drains approximately 70 ml. water during cleaning, because of this, it is regularly necessary to pull out the pan and drain the water from there. Although you can substitute a cup when you turn it on - then hot water will merge into it and at the same time warm the cup. Drain the waste water, substitute the cup again and turn on the coffee supply. - The waste coffee container is pulled out in three steps: 1) open the door, 2) take out the cup tray, 3) remove the coffee container from the recess in the tray. Our car is standing, pressing its left side against the refrigerator, so we have to move it away - otherwise the opening angle of the door is not enough to get the tray with the container. - Even if you set the maximum volume of the cup, it pours about 250 ml of coffee. Because cups are usually 320-350 ml - you either have to press the button to add boiling water, or fill in the missing volume with milk, or make an incomplete cup. In general, I highly recommend. We are happy, we almost stopped using the kettle (as it turned out, we boiled it mainly for coffee :) )
