DeLonghi - Eletta Deluxe Edition ECAM45760S

I'm a fan of the Delonghi Elatta (I think that's what it's called) as it does iced as well as hot coffee which is great in summer. It's an automatic style one though. Campos beans or Toby's Estate is my pick!

That is what I did. A positive surprise is that a super automatic is much less hassle to clean up. I have a Delonghi Eletta.

We love our Eletta as well, and it does about as good a job frothing as you'll get from a superauto. BUT, it should be mentioned that the milk doesn't come out very hot. Doesn't bother me really, but if I had to make one complaint about the machine, this would be it. The wife often throws here milk drinks in the microwave for a few seconds even.

Automatic milk frother. Dial from hot milk to heavy foam, works perfectly every time. I own several manual and semiautomatic espresso machines and vote 2x on the Delonghi magnifica evo. He'll love a superautomatic espresso machine, and the Delonghi is the best on the market. On my Delonghi Eletta (about 2x your price point, but same brew group as the less expensive De'Longhi machines), to clean the milk unit, I just pull the milk frother from the machine, pop off the top, wash out the container, pull off three knobs/ spouts and flush under the faucet. ~20 seconds max. If I leave milk in the unit, I turn the dial to flush, it runs hot, clean water through the nozzle to clean it out. ~10 seconds. Then I put the unit with milk in it, in the fridge. De'Longhi makes great espresso, lots of crema, foam is silky smooth and really creamy. Their machines are easy to use, easy to clean. He should be delighted if he likes espresso.

Get a super automatic and be done with it. I love my refurbished Delonghi Eletta. I buy specialty beans online so my coffee tastes great. Counter Culture, Klatch, Superlost and Color all have great beans.

This is so surprising to me because I'm the exact opposite. I have Phillips at home and it was perfect right out of the box and still is nearly two years later. On the other hand I have the Eletta at work ( for context we're a small office with 8 people and only 2 of us use the Eletta. ) and I feel the Eletta was bad out of the box and has only gotten worse. We use the same beans and everything. Very strange

My delonghi eletta is the best machine I ever bought. Was expensive but worth it

Ive had a Delonghi Eletta and a Sage Barista Touch. The. Sage is a far better machine, and the customer support is excellent . If something goes wrong with your Delonghi you have to bring it up to a specific retailer around Terenure. A pain in the hole. Sage just collected the machine and sent me out a new one.

Cold brew cappuccino in the DeLonghi Eletta. Considered the Jura z10, but too much of a price difference and cost of maintenance supplies.

Both are fine. Consider if you want something with an automatic milk frother, or a steam wand. Other good choices: Jura Ena, Delonghi Eletta or Rivelia. And congrats, super autos are big step up from coffee pods taste wise. And much cheaper in use.
