The Delonghi is slightly wider than my Saeco. The most obvious difference is that the
ESAM is rather simple. Everything can be adjusted by turning knobs that has a Saeco
Display that is carried out the various settings.
The ESAM, as well as the Minuto, have left above a compartment for coffee beans. The Minuto has right
above a reservoir for the water, which you have to take out (upwards). The ESAM has this
on the right side. The water tank can be easily pulled out what I see as far more practical
Phonetic feel.
Centered above the ESAM has a flap under which is the inlet for the "normal" ground coffee. Very
is moderately purpose that there is also an equal Dossier spoon.
To the right of the cappuccino maker, the one for hot water, ie can use tea. About
the knob can be about these dose quite well.
The ESAM is limited to the essentials. Everything is displayed through LEDs, setting takes you
on front knobs. The machine is completely made of plastic. All parts to be cleaned are easily achieved
reichbar. For emptying the coffee grounds container to open the right door and pulls the entire
lower part out of the machine. Refer Schwupps the grounds container, empty, used and well
is it. The brewing unit can also be seen as.
The setting of the grinder is very easy. The DeLonghi has a rotary knob which is in coffee bean
container is, and when the grinder is in operation, you can turn left or right through the grinder
Set. Far more comfortable than in the Saeco which requires a matching key for the setting.
Dissolved as very nice, I think the way in which I determine the size of the "issuing" cup. Also
again by a knob, and good it is. The same also applies to the strength of the coffee powder.
As with the Saeco the dispensing head is adjustable in height.
Now to the essence: What is the coffee, and how does the machine. Coffee flavor is so bekannter-
somewhat contentious. It depends on the type of coffee to how the machine brews, and as the grinder is set.
I've got an Italian friend who turns it into a science (he does it very well,
since it whether Saeco, DeLognhi, or take anyone else completely apart can these things, and they for again
run gets). For me it is enough that the coffee tastes good, and I know that I the taste degree
can influence on the grinder. And here the scores DeLonghi, since one the grinder without much bric
knacks and special tools can adjust.
The grinder of Esam should be fairly quiet, but I can find no big difference to Seaco. Both
tubes almost when they grind the coffee.
The speed is acceptable. The coffee is not too hot from the fully automatic machines.
The cleaning of the machine and is quite easy, since every part is easily accessible.
Conclusion: The ESAM is a simple and compact coffee machine that can do without a lot of frills.
This in turn has the advantage that they are not as susceptible to interference as my Minuto is (and has been a few
Time to herself spun). The coffee is good, and it fits in my small kitchen - 5 Stars
