Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi ESAM3300 Esclusivo Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine
Customer Review: Machine broke after 4 weeks - DeLonghi customer service sucks
Summary: 1 Stars
Apart from breaking after 4 weeks this is a great espresso machine, we loved it. Easy to operate, makes great coffee and espresso. Maybe we had bad luck but after 4 weeks of use one of the coffee brewing buttons broke and then the on/off button wouldn't work anymore. The machine was dead. It seems that the electronic behind the buttons is not very robust. I sent an email to the DeLonghi customer service but never got any reply.
Another downside: The machine asks for descaling every 2 weeks. This gets a little expensive considering that the recommended decalcifier for one time descaling is about $6. I returned the machine to Amazon. They are always great with return. So fast, so easy. They are my absolute favorite online order merchant.
Customer Review: Great machine !
Summary: 4 Stars
I did exhuastive, sometime overwhelming research, prior to this purchase. In this price range, this machine is the best value for the money. The next step up is more than double the price without many added benefits.
It took some tweaking to find "our" settings but it wasn't difficult to use, is a breeze to clean and easy to load with beans and water. The super automatic took guesswork out of this all together, which for me, was perfect !
Customer Review: coffee machine DeLonghi
Summary: 4 Stars
Worked great for a few days, then the inside mechanism got off track. Not sure why. Trying to send the one back and get a new one. Called popeil Family store several times to have it picked up by UPS (since 12/19/07), today is 1/10/08 and still was not picked up. Back to the machine, I think it made good coffee while it lasted, hope to get another one soon.Customer Review: Love my DeLonghi Expresso Machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I use it every day and have only one complaint. The water reservoir is too small. I thought when I bought it, it had a setting for "americano" ie. a non-espresso cup of coffee, but I must have been confused with another machine. Still, it works well for me and guests. I would buy it again.Customer Review: Simply perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cleanup is sooo easy, less than 2 minutes every 14 shots(when the grounds bin fills up).
Never tastes like old beans, self cleaning.
As noisy as any coffee making process, manual/auto. Unless you're using preground and a french press.
Extremely easy to use... could probably train a monkey to use it in under 5mins.
Near perfect shots, though some elitists will say otherwise only because it's an auto. Though those same elitists would be hard pressed to pick in a blind taste test.
Warmer is useless... but get some Bodum Pavinas and you won't need to prewarm anyway.
Heats up extremely quick.
Quiet frothing nozzle. Doesn't scream at you like the standard one.
Bonus: Can heat up a cup worth of hot water for the occasional tea quicker than a kettle.
