To make it short: the DeLonghi 3200 has exceeded our expectations. The unit prepares excellent coffee, is very easy to use and the ongoing maintenance costs are minimal. During the previous use any weakness we noticed. It drips and rattles nothing, the operation is simple and logical and all relevant functions of the coffee maker (freeness, coffee quantity and intensity) can vary widely. Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning of the brewing unit and descaling. Especially cleaning the brew group is done very easily and within a minute. Even after several weeks of intensive operation (about 15 large cups per day) is in the machine no relevant pollution recognizable.
A tip for all interested in technology: when comparing the machines in the electrical market it is recommended to take a look at to throw appliances in brewing unit of removed or to consider the Brügruppe accurate. With some technical understanding to draw conclusions about the quality (design and processing) are then easily possible. With so many great device manufacturers is very easy to determine: "outside the wrappings off". When DeLonghi one sees solid technology, well-built and thoughtfully designed.
Conclusion: excellent coffee, easy operation, easy maintenance, excellent value for money.
