Love my morning coffee

published

I absolutely love my Delonghi espresso maker and use it everyday. It never skips a beat and makes beautiful coffee. The milk frother is also awesome and easy to use to get the right thickness. The machine itself looks smart on the kitchen bench and is also easy to clean. Highly recommended.

Tips for good coffee

published

Bought the ECOV310 Vintage green Dec 2015, and have no problem since then. Find it t is both easy to use and clean. I only use it to make espresso coffee, hardly have any experience with the cappuccino nozzle. I make 2 to 3 cups a day, usually after meals.

I descale it every 3 months. I always preheat, flushing before and after every cup, so the boiler outlet is always kept clean, and system is heated to the right brewing temperature.



I use a Bodum burr grinder, grinding fresh 7 to 8gm of beans for each cup, selecting fine grind size for espresso, usually with medium or dark roast beans. The result is always satisfying, a nice cup of espresso (about 60ml) full of crema and robust taste and balance, taken without sugar.

Try it !

ECOV310BG We have bought 2 of these machines in 3 years - Grrr! both outside the one year paltry guarantee. i had no real sympathy from customer services, I was sad about this and have no coffee to drink!! :-( The product makes nice coffee, but I am sure will not last unless you use it once a week! Not robust at all

Stylish and practical

published

Best thing is you can use either ground coffee or a pod in this machine. Simple to use, looks fantastic and is versatile. Coffee taste great and very easy to clean. Pods are available from Harvey Norman or JB Hi Fi for three different types and prices, these are also biodegradable therefore kind to environment.

Ok for home coffee maker

published

This machine is having good vintage looks especially with the light blue colour that we have. We used it everyday as I am a stay home mum and having considerable time to make a great coffee. Coffee produced perfectly as you need to not overfill the coffee holder.

The steam could not work simultaneously with espresso making makes it hard to multitask. After finish just prepare a wet cloth and wipe out the steamer and wash the coffee handler with running water.

Ok while it works

published

It makes an ok coffee (not great) but we picked it up cheap because we loved the retro look. It is a pest to clean and if you like strong coffee you need to run several times as it only has capacity to make one weak cup at a time. It only lasted about 13months and then developed a fault that tripped the safety switch whenever the machine was turned on. really not worth it.

It makes my day every day.

published

The machine extracts excellent creamy espresso even if I use a cheaper coffee sometimes.
It's simple to be operated and I couldn't find any difficulties to use it.
I use a damp clothe to clean the surface and the cup tray can be washed directly under running water, easy and fast. The water tank is detachable and easy to be filled with water.

Instant coffee is better

published

Bought this machine because it was 50% off and it looks cute. Regretted my decision after making a few cups of coffee. Firstly, the water drips too fast so the coffee come out bland. Secondly, the heat pump takes a long time to heat up and temperature drops quite quickly and needed to wait for it to heat up again. Not worth the money. I went back to instant coffee and put it on Gumtree.

Makes a great coffee

published

Designed similarly to our last Delonghi, this one has a new look, whilst giving the option of using ESE pods. It really is a no fuss, easy to use & easy to clean machine, allowing non fussy coffee drinkers the opportunity to make their own coffee. For $170 from Costco, I couldn't resist.

Worst investment ever!!

published

Plastic wand constantly blows while steaming the milk. Danger of steam burns on the face. I have burnt myself a few times.

Decides it hasn't heated up enough half was through extracting a coffee.

Tamp is fixed to machine - which means it's difficult to get necessary pressure

All of this for a very average tasting coffee.

Basic manual coffee machine, value for money

published

This coffee machine works well, not too complicated to set it up. I have been using for 2 years, it is still working well except sometimes it leaks coffee from the handle. I bought it at a good price and would say it is value for money for the quality

Fantastic And Easy

published

The finish is fabulous. I made a wood block to put under the milk jug so I could other tasks while the milk steams up to temp. Right on about a standard cup not fitting under coffee spout. I fixed that be removing the chrome draining rack permanently and have had no problems since. After couple of months steam spout had steam pouring out of its top and milk wouldn't heat. Email delonghi and they immediately went me an envelope of O rings. Easy to install, fixed the problem and I have had a lot of trouble free wonderful Lattes since. 100s of them. It's a beauty!

Great coffee and easy to use for a manual machine

published

It is easy to use, clean and makes good coffee. I do have to use the double shot to make one coffee, but it's mostly just me using it, I don't mind.
Great colours and matches the other delonghi appliances in the kitchen.
Only down side not to give 5 stars is the noise.. It has annoying rattle and when in use.

Worst coffee machine ever

published

Used to have a cheep $120 sunbeam that lasted 4 years which packed it in. Thought I would pay extra and get something better. Not the case. Coffee tastes weak. Need to make as double shot with double coffee to get a good coffee. milk frothier is useless. The only way to get a creamy froth is to take of the plastic airraiter and froth manually however under preasure, plastic spout shoots off into the milk, covering you in hot milk. Have had it for 9 months now and have not enjoyed a cup of coffee from it yet. Give me a budget sunbeam any day.
Small. (Won't take up much room in the rubbish bin)
Bad milk frothier, bad coffee, too light weight(need to hang onto machine when locking in handle)

Fantastic

published

Great little machine much better than capsule machines- used daily to make 4plus coffees. We do the frother and can't comment as to whether it works.
Have had one for over 3 yrs now and buying a new one because the tray is warped from washing in dishwasher- had also started leaking a bit
Reliable, small and nice looking and good colour range
Can't wash accessories in dishwasherand its a bit noisy

And finally the thing has given up the ghost! It lasted 9 months, using it at least once a day. Lets see how long it takes DeLonghi to fix it.

Hi, Kerry, your referring to the top red light, mine stays on until I turn it off, mmm, maybe a fault with the unit . The second light, green, will come on once the unit it hot enough, I still get water out of it even when the light switches off ( I like a large latte).hope this helps, Linda

Hi
I just got my mashine and it seems to work Well apart from one little issue - the handle for inserting the coffee is so tight i feel i might breake the machine is there anyway to make it fit easier?
Thanks

Hey Sigrid,
From my experience with the machine and what I've noticed there is 2 reasons why this handle is tight, first one when the machine is brand new the seal is new and tight but it gets softer as you use it and second reason is overfilling the container with coffee makes harder to lock in place, nothing to worry you won't break it, the machine is tougher than it looks. !!!!

Just got the machine and very happy with it except: coffee drips unequally from both drips. I clean it after every coffee shot, tried using pods and different grinds levels but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Hi Danieli

I just found out this machine is only good for 1 coffee a day??? Go figure!!! Is your handle clean?? (Where u put the coffee/pod)??? You might need to get a pin and clean every little hole and pull it all apart and scrub it clean. Hope this helps ???
