DeLonghi EAM3500 Magnifica Digital Super Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine
New Espresso Drinker I have had my 3500 for a month now and find myself making about 4 cups in the morning and another 4 cups of decaff preground in the evening. I have had no operational problems at all with my machine and find it especially convenient. What I consider to be the downfalls of this machine are 1 The temperature of the coffee isn't quite hot enough even at the highest setting and 2 The quality of the froth or even the steamed milk is at best OK. I would like to set my own temp by degrees and have an option to steam my milk manually.
Lukewarm Very simply this machine does not make hot coffee. Unless you like yours lukewarm you'll be putting your coffee in the microwave after brewing. Tastes good but just not hot enough.
Great coffee easy milk could be hotter Everything they say about this machine above is true it's really wonderful. My problem with it is again mentioned above that the latte milk could be hotter use cappuccino frother for hotter. This bugs me because you can adjust the temp of the coffee but not milk and I like the milk hot so I have to pop it in the microwave. I'm happier having discovered the use of the cappuccino frother.
The best! My husband wanted this coffee machine for Christmas and I am so glad I got it for him. Fabulous coffee latte cappuccino. Please take the time to read the instructions and watch the dvd. It makes using this machine so easy.
I just love it! It is a pleasure every morning to brew my latte with this machine. You will never go to Starbuck's again! Plus it is really easy to handle.
superior machine For all who have been stressed by the quirks of the 3300 Delonghi has made some improvements in this generation. The grinder is much quieter the infusion cycle proofs the grounds before brewing and there's an automatic rinse cycle at shut down. The digital programability is nice but I bought this machine for the end product great coffee. I was not disappointed. Some things to remember1. Use the least oily beans you can find. French roast will clog the machine quickly. I'm using a local meddark roast all arabica coffee. Lavazza super crema is also very good.2. Rinse between shots because the infuser clogs easily with black espresso muck. Not rinsing will cause the machine to shut down with a message that the grind is too fine.3. Believe the instructions and play with grinder settings. I had to go all the way up to a 5 [semi coarse] grind.
Magnifico Quality Espresso Machine! I have owned several types of espresso machines & stovetop models over the years. However none have given me the same crema quality I get while dining out at restaurants. These inexpensive [] models always dispensed fairly goodtasting yet watery looking espresso with no crema on top. Nevertheless I decided to try the Delonghi Magnifica ESAM3500 at the recommendation of an italian restaurateur who personally owns the Magnifica and ranked it up there with his commercial espresso machine at his restaurant for both espresso & cappuccino quality.Although I was initially hesitant about the price of the machine I decided to try it. The result is exactly what I was looking for restaurantquality espresso & cappuccino at the push of a button! Simple to use cup after cup and easy to cleanup. I won't explain the exact process. There is a demovideo on the Delonghi website which is a good depiction of what you can expect. []I have owned the machine for 4 months and I'm extremely glad with my purchase. Every morning I enjoy a strong cup of espresso and moments later my wife enjoys the delicious mild cappuccino at the push of a button.
AWESOME!! This may be a tad more expensive than your average home coffee maker but well worth it! The coffee tastes better than any restaurant coffee I've had in a long time and is so easy to use. It comes with a video that you can watch but the instruction book was simple enough to follow on its own.
good results poor quality We bought this machine and enjoyed it quite a bit. Unfortunately after about 10 months it started not doing the steamed or frothed. We had an extended warranty and took it back TWICE first time the guy said he fixed it but didn't and it immediately started degrading in quality again. I have written the company to know avail. I don't want to take it back to the local service center because the guy was very rude to us everytime we've dealt with him. Anyway exect great coffee for a while then expect it to break and not get good service.UPDATE After a few months I was able to get a hold of the company and they repaired it free of charge and gave me an extended warranty. Right after that wore out the machine broke again. Good coffee still poor quality of machine. But I'm raising the review from 1 to 2 since they did fix it.
