Amazing professional coffee experience
5/5
We were looking to upgrade our current coffee machine so spent a considerable amount of time before making our final choice. Preciously, we had a pod coffee machine, but given the impact on the environment, the expense of coffee pods and the impact on taste, we decided to invest in a bean to cup model. So far, the De'Longhi Eletta Cappuccino machine has not disappointed. It has reduced our use of plastic, saved money in the long term and given us access to a fantastic, tasty, much larger range of coffee products. Firstly, the range of coffee types the machine produces is fabulous. You can pretty much dispense any coffee from a long black, to a cappuccino or macchiato. Furthermore, you can produce all of these drinks pretty much instantly - a mere press of a button!
Secondly, drinks are customisable. You can alter the coffee strength, length and the amount of both coffee and milk you require, meaning that the machine is very versatile and caters for all coffee tastes. This is very easy to do and requires very little other than reading the instructions and pressing some buttons!
Finally, the machine pretty much takes care of itself. It has self cleaning functions, (again a mere press of a button and turn of a dial) which help to keep it in good working order. The milk dispenser is dishwasher safe. The machine even tells you when it needs emptying or water adding.
Our one criticism would be that if you're having a long, milky drink, such as a latte, these can be a little cooler than we would like. However, this could be a personal preference and those wishing to make a quick coffee thats instantly ready to drink may actually benefit from this.
Overall, a great product. We feel that it has been a great investment and worthwhile purchase. If you're a devoted coffee drinker then prepare to drink even more coffee beverages!
