In addition to the price / performance ratio of the DeLonghi she has a few more features that I missed so far:
Coffee temperature adjustable,
Setting the amount of coffee itself and save,
Cup warmer,
Milk container and
Coffee Long Function
The first impression was ever overwhelmed. No comparison to my previous one. Clean design, easy to clean and after the first few coffees it worked even without instructions.
Unfortunately DeLonghi has a strange coffee quantity standard. A very großer- coffee has just 120 ml. What about it huge.
The amount for a latte macchiato is in standard size really a joke.
Luckily, you can adjust the amount. Unfortunately, although you can adjust the amount of water, but not the quantity of coffee itself :(
Coffee tastes, whether espresso (small coffee, 40ml), coffee or long coffee. Highlight is adjacent to the Long-Coffee, the Flat White.
Thanks to the right beans he tastes.
Unfortunately, despite the highest temperature level is the coffee not really hot (just 68 ° C). Before that time helps flush, but I call that water wastage. The water temperature for coffee should be between 92 ° -96 ° C, why DeLonghi rankommt here not nearly, is beyond me. As I had hoped for more by the adjustment. My predecessor machine had not this setting was on the temperature but equal.
We come to the next downside, the milk reference. For the non-coffee drinkers thought to cocoa was just about the milk reference produce. But the temperature is also a joke. A mere 39 °. He's already cold by the reference.
Even when Latte Macciatto I have some problems. No right, separation of the layers, no matter what milk (1.5%, 2.5%, whole milk, semi-skimmed).
The shelf scratched really fast. Since DeLongi would calm some can handle better. As my predecessor was better coated.
Currently I try on the DeLonghi support to clarify why the milk and the coffee is cold.
By Beverage temperatures only 1-2 star should actually be awarded. But I give 3 stars because of the coffee (incl. Extra rinse) is great and the processing of the coffee machine in my eyes Topp is.
Should anyone buy the DeLonghi but mainly because of the mixed drinks (after all, is on the machine cappuccino), so I would advise against, or see if a can not be tested in advance.
