DeLonghi ESAM 3000 I have the B cases for several weeks now in use and trust myself now an opinion on this coffee machine.
I for 10 years was previously an absolute fan of Jura E 50 (and still am), I would like to draw a comparison between the two machines and appeal to the data read by me in various forums criticisms of the DeLonghi here:
1. Optics (of course a matter of taste)
Well, there is at the ESAM 3000 compared to the Jura really a bit of favorable price to see. Nevertheless, I think in any case, it can be quite impressive.
2. Criticism of the DeLonghi "The coffee is too cold"
Can not understand me. The coffee has the same temperature as that of the Jura E 50
3. "The milk foam is not good"
Wrong !!! I have spent the whole decade with the E 50 not nearly such a froth hammer out how the ESAM 3000. Latte Macchiato is home our new favorite drink.
4. "If froth has been produced, it is necessary to wait for several minutes until you get back can draw off coffee"
Not comprehensible way !!! After I made the milk froth, I place the water-filled vessel just below the steam nozzle and sink, leaving it clean again. This also escapes the remaining vapor and the machine is ready again in a few seconds to prepare coffee.
5. "The machine is noisy"
That was probably when EAM3000 way. The ESAM3000 B is considerably quieter than my Jura E was 50.
Conclusion:
The machine costs about half of a comparable or Jura Saeco. This can be seen in the quality of the brewed coffee and the milk foam under any circumstances. This is at the ESAM 3000 B very good.
Only in the controls (buttons) and the housing can be seen that this product has been processed slightly cheaper.
I do not mind that and has, as an absolute Jura fan, convinced me that even DeLonghi builds very tidy machine.
The proof that I have fun with it for a long time, must first be provided, but with 3 years warranty, the risk is manageable.
So - the purchase decision was absolutely right from today it !!!
I hope I can help you with your decision.
