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

I have been using espresso coffee makers for fifteen years. I have been using a burr coffee grinder for five years. Tired of manual labor and reproaches from relatives about the "garbage" on the table after clogging the next portion. Even in manual mode, it was not easy to choose the degree of grinding and the amount of coffee to brew. When you change the brand of coffee - everything is new. Here, be prepared for the fact that two hundred grams of coffee will be spent on experiments. Warming up the cup - just at the first spill of water, and not on top of the machine. By the way, the coffee is very hot. All controls (grinding degree, amount of water, amount of ground coffee) work. For factory settings, the manufacturer would recommend the brand of coffee in the instructions. I got a badyat at the first start. Now 10 cups - still adjusting. The initial setting (water hardness, heating temperature, auto-off time) must be done! In St. Petersburg, the water hardness is traditionally set to a minimum, the temperature is set to 3 (four seemed superfluous for me). The noise is moderate (in comparison with my previous coffee grinder and coffee maker - one and a half times lower). The cappuccinatore works well. The car is not for blondes. In the service of 10 kg only for cleaning you can’t drag yourself (see disadvantages).
