DeLonghi espresso machine EC 330 S (household goods)

Customer Review

About 6 weeks ago, I bought this machine, also due to the positive Amazon reviews. First of all I would like to address some of the negative comments:

"You can not adjust the quantity of coffee and be careful that the espresso does not overflow" - So apply for an espresso in Italy and in Germany a few rules, among other things, that the turnaround time should be about 20-30 seconds. Who has not this time, but still want to have an espresso, which should be no normal Siebträgermaschine buy. I am not complaining about the fact that my Opel has no doors.

"The machine is very noisy and rattles" - Hmm, I have had previously a Jura Subito and have other (Saeco) espresso coffee machines commonly operated. The Delonghi machine seems to me that rather quiet!
I would never come to the idea of ​​a sugar packet (!) On the water tank (!) To place, so that the machine is not noisy. "Sugar in the tank" can be good only at Spirou and Count von Rummel Village. But it is true that the machine is relatively easy. I think rather that you care when inserting or removing the filter holder has difficulties to find somewhere stop to dagegenzuhebeln.

To essentially: The machine offers a price of slippers 120 euros the possibility of normal espresso powder to the best of our espresso to process with excellent crema, but also for not cleaning willing the opportunity pads with good to very good results (Lucaffe, (!) Izzo pads, Martella Maximum Class pads, pads etc ... NewYorkCafe to use). In addition, it does not look bad, is not as big as a fully automated, costs less than most other machines, however, makes a better coffee. So, dear colleagues Amazon, please pay attention to the price-performance ratio!

Disadvantages:
The cup heater on the roof is not very large and hardly usable (does not hot, you have to wait at least 30 minutes anyway, until the cups warm, not hot) and just wasted energy. So be it!
On a case tamper is mounted. In order to press the espresso, you have to hold the machine. On Tamper coffee hangs clear, then you have to wipe the machine. That would have been better as an additional plastic part. Note: The distance between spout and the sheet on which are the cups is about 7.5 cm. For my small espresso cups that unfortunately not enough. But is not so tragic, because with a filter holder, a height adjustment would be idiotic and when the coffee from too far down would splash up, there'd be another mess ... so that's all right then, actually.

Conclusion: Have the machine bought here due to the buy recommendation and speak again a thick purchase recommendation! (April 2009)

Today a small update (January 2011): In the meantime, the little machine has come a bit older, perhaps a little too early for my taste. I have the impression that there is not enough pressure is built up so that the coffee when prepared with a pad (not occur at all pads on) only drips. One can drink good coffee still, he is then but only slightly warmer than lukewarm. With powder, the machine still works great.
