Schick, compact and relatively quiet

Saeco Odea Giro Our old coffee machine has unfortunately given up the ghost, and it needed a new. But what to take? The supply of fully automatic coffee machines is now so huge and confusing. After a long and extensive Internet research and study of reviews and test reports, we decided for the DeLonghi ECAM 23420.

The decisive advantages for us this machine were:

* Compact design, far more compact than our old Saeco. And: The machine can be completely operated from the front, so they must not be free - which is great.
* Relatively quiet - advertises the DeLonghi ECAM and that's really true. Being "soft" relative to understand because really very quiet so a machine can not be that grinds coffee. But: Clearly quieter than the Saeco that we had before.
* Stylish design. We opted for the White - an eye-catcher.
* A relatively large water tank: At 1.8 l capacity, you do not so often replenish.
* We did not spend more than 500 euros.
* Delicious coffee.

We have the machine for some time now and were not disappointed. The only minor complaint: The default cup size is a very small cups - our Kaffeepötten not even the setting "Very large cup" enough to fill it. But not so bad: You can either press the button "2 cups" or to program his own cup size.

Conclusion: strong buy recommendation.
