Delonghi Ecam220.80.sb Espresso Coffee Maker with Grinder Clear One Size / EU Plug

I’ve had experience making several different drinks before with a traditional espresso maker, but it’s always been too much work to do it consistently with my busy schedule. This machine really changes all that, though, because it simplifies all of the manual steps down into one easy process; it combines grinding, brewing, and steaming all into one automatic machine! It can additionally prepare instant hot water for tea, and has a self-cleaning function to keep the internal parts fresh. Setup was actually a breeze thanks to the wonderful quick start guide book, that has easy-to-follow steps and great reference pictures to follow along with.

It can additionally prepare instant hot water for tea, and has a self-cleaning function to keep the internal parts fresh. Setup was actually a breeze thanks to the wonderful quick start guide book, that has easy-to-follow steps and great reference pictures to follow along with. After an initial hand washing of some of the parts as recommended, we were ready to brew our first cup of coffee within about 30 minutes. We started out with some espresso using the pre-ground coffee option, and it came out tasting really good, with excellent taste and consistency. Next, we tried out using the automatic milk frother attachment to make a luxurious cappuccino. That feature in particular is especially great for us since steaming milk properly has always been a challenge in the past. The machine has excellent options for getting just the right grind for the perfect cup of coffee, plus strength settings so you can make the brew as potent as you like. The user interface is also really convenient, with dedicated buttons and lights that keep you aware of exactly what’s happening at each step. We’re so impressed overall with the ease-of-use and customization that we’ll probably attempt using it as our everyday coffee maker for a while with the hopes of replacing a bunch of devices on our kitchen counter.

The initial setup was straightforward after reading the instruction manual and only took a few minutes to complete. The most important step is priming the machine prior to use.

It feels like heavy plastic and I believe that it will be sturdy and durable for years to come. The initial setup was straightforward after reading the instruction manual and only took a few minutes to complete. The most important step is priming the machine prior to use. Brewing your drink is a breeze. After you load the machine with water and your favorite coffee bean, the first step is to choose the type of drink that you desire. Your options will be latte macchiato, cappuccino, expresso, coffee, or hot water. Each option produces a beverage equivalent or better to what you would expect ordering the same drink from your local barista. Another key component are the 13 grinding options offered by this machine that are specific to your bean of choice- this will maximize the flavor! The incredible lattecreama system frothes the milk to help make each drink smooth, velvety, and creamy. I love that the milk container can be easily stored in the refrigerator when not in use. The drink temperature also comes out perfect! While brewing, an amazing coffee bean aroma fills the room. You will hear the machine working but it is not too loud. Since I have had this item, I have saved an insane amount of money making my own expresso beverages at home rather than continuously travelling to my local coffee shop. Cleaning and maintenance has also been stress-free. The machine self-rinses after each use and easily disassembles for a deeper clean. In summary, this wonderful machine will provide excellent value for your money by producing high quality coffee or expresso drinks. Setup, use, and maintenance are all effortless. Your will never want coffee anywhere but from home again! Thank you to DeLonghi and Influenster for allowing me to try this product in exchange for this honest review.

The adjustable grinder dial allows you to select a coarser or finer grind depending on your preference of bean or roast type. Have ground coffee? It takes that too, skip the grinding and add up to 1 Teaspoon of your favorite pre ground coffee at a time for a single serving. The Espresso option allows you to select a single or double espresso and the dispenser nozzles conveniently moves up or down to adjust to the size of the cup you are using. The machine self cycles when turned on or off, draining, filling and preheating necessary internal components which helps to ensure a consistently great cup of coffee every time. This machine does take a while to master, you’ll go through a short learning curve, so don’t get frustrated at first. The instructions could be a bit more clear, but contain all information needed for proper operation, once you get the hang of it and have programmed the settings to your liking using it becomes second nature and then it’s just a press of a button. It does take up a bit of counter space in the kitchen and the noise level is something that not everyone might be used to.

I am such a fan of this DēLonghi Magnifica Start Espresso Machine with Latte Crema System! I am very much a coffee enthusiast, I own another brand of espresso machine already and couldn’t wait to compare the two. Also, I literally can never have enough options for making coffee and espresso, so this is a welcome addition! The DēLonghi really shines with its 5 one-touch recipes! It makes the morning so much easier to have these quick options, you can choose between espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino, regular coffee, and a hot water function, and of course all of these are customizable! It has a built in grinder with multiple options for grind size, anyone who is into coffee at all can appreciate freshly ground beans! The different grind sizes also let you really ... MoreI am such a fan of this DēLonghi Magnifica Start Espresso Machine with Latte Crema System!

The different grind sizes also let you really control the consistency to get the perfect crema in your espresso. The built in Lattecrema system is seriously amazing! I’ve never had an automatic frother like this, and it really hits the mark! Again, another function that makes my morning latte just a little bit quicker and easier to make! It’s really well thought out too, the system comes off and you can store the milk in your refrigerator until you’re ready to use it next, so you’re not constantly cleaning it out! Speaking of cleaning, the whole device seems like it will be relatively simple to clean. I have just started using it, so I haven’t gotten to that point yet, but there are many pieces that are just removable and dishwasher safe, so that’ll be nice! Overall I am very impressed with the quality, ease of use, and design. These machines do require a little more work and maintenance than a regular coffee pot or a pod style machine, but it’s well worth it! This is my first DēLonghi itemdefinitely not my last.

First of all, I’m so happy that I got the chance to test this machine and keep it for free. How awesome! My first impression upon opening is that it’s heavier than it looks! It took me about an hour to set it up and read the manual and make sure I was doing everything right. It takes some time to get the coffee to taste the way you like it, there’s a lot of adjustments to be made at first. Also it takes quite a few cups that you have to dump out to get it tasting right. The built in grinder is really easy to use and has a dial that you can adjust for more coarse or smaller grounds depending on what you want to make. After adding the beans, you add your milk of choice to the frother bottle, install it into the machine, and then press whichever drink button you want ... MoreFirst of all, I’m so happy that I got the chance to test this machine and keep it for free.

After adding the beans, you add your milk of choice to the frother bottle, install it into the machine, and then press whichever drink button you want to make, and from there the machine does everything for you. You simply press the clean button and it cleans out the milk frother tube and then you’re done! The button options on this machine are Latte, Cappuccino, Coffee, Espresso, and Hot Water. I haven’t gotten the hang of the Latte drink yet, but I did make a delicious Cappuccino yesterday and I have an espresso every morning. You can change the setting on how strong you want your coffee if it’s too strong or weak. Pros: -The machine is quieter than my old Nespresso -The coffee tastes great -You literally don’t have to do anything but press a few buttons -The built in grinder is easy and you get freshly ground coffee every day with no hassle Cons: -My biggest change that I would make to this machine is adding a milk frothing button. You could press the latte button to get frothed milk and then press stop but that would result in wasted coffee because it starts grinding before it froths the milk. I found one way around this which is to press the pre ground coffee button and then press the latte button but it’s still a bit of a hassle. They don’t put this in the manual either so you’re probably not supposed to do it, but I like frothed milk on top of my espresso so this is the only way for me to do that. - I kind of wish it had a bigger water tank but I understand there’s only so much room for that. It uses a lot of water to clean itself so I’m constantly refilling the water. Overall: I really like this machine, it’s a little temperamental and a tad hard to get the right strength that you want at first but I’m going to keep using it and experimenting with different grind levels. It’s great for a beginner wanting to make their own espresso and if you’re just wanting a machine that makes regular coffee then this will be super easy to use for anyone.

The DeLonghi Magnifica Start super automatic espresso machine with manual milk frothing is user friendly and heats up quickly. It features touch buttons, and the side water tank allows for easy monitoring of the water level. The bean container is spacious and includes a grinding adjustment dial. Although there's a pre-ground coffee funnel, I prefer fresh coffee grinds, so I haven't used it yet. The adjustable coffee spouts accommodate different cup and mug sizes. While there's a learning curve, once you get the hang of it, making a great cup of coffee becomes effortless. I enjoyed a delicious and fresh cappuccino with a dusting of cocoa on top. The machine has a sleek black design.

The machine has a sleek black design. It is compact with a small footprint, not too heavy, and has a low profile, allowing it to fit under wall cabinets. Now, for the cons: the machine doesn't come with a pitcher or mugs. Since I already had an espresso setup, I used my existing pitcher, but first time buyers should consider purchasing one for milk based coffee drinks. I received this machine complimentary through Influenster, so I'm not sure if that’s the reason for its lack of a pitcher or how their standard is. Also, the grind size options are somewhat limited for my taste, and the machine does make some noise, though it’s not overly loud. The frothing function works well for cappuccinos but produces a foam that’s a bit too stiff for lattes. Overall, this machine is perfect for intermediate coffee enthusiasts who enjoy making espresso, cappuccino, or Americano at home. One more thing: my husband loves using this machine too. It’s quick and easy, and after some trial and error, we’ve finally mastered pulling tasty shots!
