De'Longhi Eletta, Fully Automatic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, Cappuccino and Espresso Maker, ECAM 44.660.B, 2 liters, Black

Product Information

Now that I have cleared that up, then I will go on and say the De Longhi Eletta does do it better than most, and is as close to manually textured milk as you can get. But there’s more to this machine than that. You get a great crema on top of your espressos – creamy and rich-tasting, plus beautiful to look at. Then there’s the milk – for a fully automated machine you get a pleasing amount of control over your milk and it really does a great job at creating light microfoam – as good as any machine that I’ve tried.

Let’s start with the aesthetics – an important but often overlooked aspect of a coffee machine. This is going to be a permanent fixture in your kitchen, so it needs to look good. All cook shop products, such as glassware and non-electrical kitchen utensils can be returned for a credit note only.If that is all you want to use this machine for, that’s absolutely fine, but there is much more that it can do. Other than the large range of drinks that you can make (you can select these from the menu on the display – the machine will take care of everything else), you can also customise the machine to make your perfect coffee. We should point out here that it is also possible to use pre-ground coffee with this machine, it just needs to be loaded into a separate compartment, bypassing the grinder. For the freshest coffee I would highly recommend you use fresh beans where possible, but if for some reason you can’t, then you can also use pre ground coffee in the Eletta Cappuccino. The De’Longhi Eletta is a bean to cup machine, and priced towards the upper-mid range for a machine like this. But does it warrant the money? Let’s take a look. any business losses such as loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of opportunity as the Products are supplied only for private use;

Most Products come with at least a 1 year guarantee, so if your Product develops a fault after 30 days we’ll offer you either a repair or replacement. With that said, if you just want to drink espresso then a cheaper option may provide better value. There’s also the ECAM 23.460 which has fewer features, but makes automatic cappuccino. What do Buyers Say?The coffee is brewed using a 15-bar pump. The optimum amount o f pressure that you need to brew coffee is around 9-bars, so it’s reassuring to have that extra little bit. You can set it for a ‘pre infusion’ where the water is introduced to the coffee and then the pressure is slowly built up – giving more time for infusion. The idea behind this is that you extract more flavour out of the coffee and into your drink. Yes the De Longhi Ecam44 660 B Eletta comes with a full 2 year UK based warranty. Although you shouldn’t need to call on it, as this is a product built to last. The average life span is 8-10 years. Reasons I wouldn’t recommend While the Eletta ECAM44.660.B doesn’t have the classy appeal of a stainless steel coffee machine, it’s still an attractive model that will look great in any kitchen. It’s simple to use, with its one touch buttons and LCD screen, and all the components are intuitively placed. After being turned on, the machine requires around 30 seconds to warm-up. An espresso then takes a further 60 seconds to make, while a full mug of coffee can take up to two minutes.

You can also adjust the temperature of the coffee. This is great if you love piping hot coffee, but it can also be useful if you occasionally want a cooler drink when you’re in a rush.
