DeLonghi ESAM04110B Questions & Answers

Em.. our coffee tastes really nice :D I use lavazza espresso medium roast beans from Coles. Try to play with knob position. Maybe you should call to delonghi.

It’s the water setting you need to test your water and adjust your water hardness setting

The only way to satisfy your 'schizophrenic tastes' lol is to have the full strength beans in the grinding compartment of the machine and if you want 'Decaf' (yyyuuukkkyyy) as that is not coffee, then use the 'pre-ground' method for the 'Decaf'

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee (pages 11 and 12 of the manual)

Important - Never add pre-ground coffee while the machine is off or it could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty it. This could damage the appliance.
Never use more than one level measure or it could dirty the inside of the machine or block the funnel

Please note: If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of coffee at a time.

1. Turn the coffee taste selection knob to the 'spoon with ground coffee' symbol position.
2. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee
3. Place a cup under the coffee spouts.
4. Press the 'one cup symbol' 1 cup coffee button
To deactivate the pre-ground coffee function, turn the knob to one of the other positions.

Please note: A few seconds may elapse between energy saving mode and delivery of the first coffee.

Hi Robert, as far as I can work out from Mr Google, yes it is, I no longer have the box mine came in but I am pretty sure it stated "Made in ? Italy" I can't remember the name of the town but I think it started with S. I must say this is an awesome coffee machine, I also buy th DeLonghi beans and it makes the best cup of coffee. This is the second one of this model I have purchased, nothing wrong with the last one but my husband put water in the beans compartment ( he is not a coffee drinker) so he bought a replacement.

Hi Robert, I looked everywhere on the machine & instructions and no mention of country of manufacture. Fortunately I still had the box in the garage and it says "Made in Romania". At least it's not China. But anyway makes a great coffee and I'm happy to recommend it.

Hi Robert, the DeLonghi ESAM04110B that I bought is made in Romania, which is just as good as if it was made in Italy! I'm from a Romanian heritage, btw I didn't have a clue that this machine was made in Romania, until I checked the box, to answer your question lol but, I can vouch for the excellent workmanship of my Romanian folks, you should have no worries, it should be a beauty mate lol
