De'Longhi Eletta Explore Espresso Machine with Cold Brew, Automatic Hot & Cold Milk Frother for 50+ One Touch Recipes, Built-in Grinder, ECAM45086S

Best. Money. Ever. Spent. So easy to use (don’t YouTube it because every video is too long and annoying) just follow the instructions they give. The taste of coffee in this machine is unmatched. Super easy to clean. I love the favorites option so my husband can make me a coffee. I haven’t had any problems with it! No leaking, no mold, nothing other than love for this machine!

I have had this Delonghi maker for about a year now as I wanted to be able to give it a fair review. It is so intuitive, and makes great coffee! Grinds the beans, froths the milk and you can even control from an app on your phone! Coffee ready before your feet hit the ground. I just wake up, hit the button for my favorite double expresso cappuccino- snuggle with my dogs for a few minutes then go get my cup of supreme freshly brewed coffee. I simply LOVE it and feel so spoiled. It was a gift to myself, as after a trip to Italy a couple of summers ago, I realized how horrible my coffee was after drinking the coffee there! It was an investment for sure, but absolutely not one issue with it...and I'm worth it! Life is too short to drink bad coffee!!

I would give this a zero if I could. I did a great deal of research before I decided to buy this machine. It came, I set it up... it had a light that said see manual for general error. There is no general error code in the manual. I downloaded app, which does not work until you sync machine. So, I called DeLonghi. The rep was nice and he remoted in via text and had me try a few things while he watched. Within five minutes he said "send it back it's defective, we see it all the time." Well, that's reassuring.😳 $1600 and it doesn't work. No thanks, back to the drawing board. Also, be very careful and make sure this is returnable before buying! I will likely look at a Jura or Breville. Heed my advice, not worth the risk!

Excellent coffee and specialty espresso drinks! Easy to setup and use! Produces a superior coffee experience that is simply delicious! Purchased this to replace my Krups super automatic coffee/ espresso maker after it died with many years of excellent use. I was afraid I wouldn’t find a comparable coffee experience after trying a couple similar coffee espresso makers without success. This machine performed as promised! No leaks, sleek design, easy to clean, and most importantly the delicious coffee straight from whole beans with a foamy top! So worth every penny!

Amazing coffee maker, it's expensive but for the avid coffee drinker, the cost is justifiable. Has favorites setting as well as multiple profile settings so if you and your spouse like your coffee different, it will save it.

I really like this machine quite a bit. Very convenient, intuitive, and easy to use. Makes a great americano. My only wish is that it had a option for a direct water line. I ended up drilling the tank and adding a valve to fill the tank.

We decided to treat ourselves to a fully automatic espresso machine last Christmas and picked this one based on stellar reviews. The espresso? Fantastic. The variety of drinks? Delicious. We were loving it—until a few weeks in when it asked us to descale.No problem, we used the manufacturer’s recommended solution. But after that, the hot milk carafe just stopped working. I cleaned it, took it apart, tried everything—no luck. Oddly, the cold carafe still worked, so I knew it wasn’t the machine itself. Frustrating!Finally, we called customer service and learned something surprising: De’Longhi does not recommend using reverse osmosis (RO) water. Guess what we had been using for both brewing and cleaning? RO water.One more descaling cycle with plain old tap water, and boom—problem solved. Note to self: DO NOT use RO water! I know, it seems counterintuitive, but trust me on this one.Also, the mobile app is sluggish and pretty useless, but that’s a minor gripe.Despite the hiccup, I’m still giving it 4 stars because at the end of the day, it makes truly great coffee. Just be mindful of the water you use! ☕️

I’ve been using the Eletta for about a week. It is fairly easy to use, you will still encounter some trials and errors. It makes great coffee, but I wish it was hotter because I like my coffee to be the temperature of the sun. It is extremely well made and user friendly. Cleaning is also a breeze and that was very important to me. The filter feels like it doesn’t attach properly until you put the top back on. Overall, if you account for how often you buy expensive coffee, you can justify the cost of this machine. It’s like having a barista at home so you get value for your money. I’m very happy so far with the purchase.
