I am happy! 10

But for DeLonghi:

After reading all the reviews about this and many other machines here, I decided also due to the price-performance ratio for the ECAM 22110th

Within 2 days supplied -> Top marks!
Unwrapped, built together, (the instructions included with easy to understand, albeit with occasional Italian text passages) .A water filter and a dose Entkalker were doing.

Set water hardness (a test strip was described, but not here!) Set automatic shutdown.

Coffee strength is adjusted with the large knob in the middle set (very good !!) On average thickness, tasted directly times. The coffee is great, no comparison to my ol 'Krups !!!

The quantities set for 4 different cups: espresso, espresso doppio, regular cup, large cup. But you can also go through premature pressing the appropriate switch off earlier, for example, for Ristretto.
Or even extend to get the coffee a little longer (weaker) by holding the key. Very good solved!

Many have described that the polished metal scratched too quickly and a strip of water when refilling the tank arises. True, but you can live with! And for me the machine has entered the kitchen from right to left, so I can easily see the level of the tank.

These days, I have already carried out a descaling problems (the manual is simple and clear held)
The descaler is however much too expensive! But according to the manufacturer it must be used, otherwise loss of warranty!
The write that vinegar or Sulfonaminsäure attacking the lines. But I think that with citric nothing will break. After the warranty (3 years!) I'll try it.
One point deducted because of overpriced accessories (descaler, filter, detergent)

Whether the DeLonghi will be seen also reached 18,000 cups, I will report here.

All in all: strong buy recommendation!
