Leaking water

published

Would be 5 stars if it didn't leak water all over my bench. Aside from that I love this machine. If I could get the replacement updated tray it will get a 5 star review from this customer

Great machine but water leaking issue needs resolution

published

Bought a De'Longhi La Specialista machine in late December. Very satisfied with functionality and quality of coffee. Also looks great. But in less than 4 weeks the dreaded water leak issue I now read about from other users has happened. After a full overflow onto the kitchen counter we emptied the drip tray and cleaned the unit. We then left it overnight and woke up to it being full again. The water is not dripping out of the hot water spout, boiler outlet or steam spout that are external and above the tray; it's simply flowing through the machine from the water tank and directly into the back of the tray. I'll be contacting customer care to pursue a solution which looks like a need for a replacement drip tray

Decent Coffee Machine

published

We had our Delonghi la Specialista for around a month when the dreaded water leak from the tray begun. We contacted Delonghi Customer Care and they were great. They sent out an updated drip tray and a pack of coffee beans for the inconvenience. The coffee machine itself is decent and we are very happy with the price we got it for, at the recommended retail price id be looking at other options though.

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or the grinder is faulty on my machine

published

I received the coffee machine as a Christmas gift & I opened the box & got it all set up as directions indicated, I went to make the first cup of coffee & the grinder will not work. I am really upset about this machine not working & have tried everything & cabt work out what the issue is. I am tempted to return the machine as it seems that it won’t grind at all. I haven’t even made one cup of coffee nor has the grinder worked since opening the box up. Very annoyed.

Missing Coffee container at purchase, now 30 days on it's leaking water

published

When I purchased this coffee machine the container which houses the coffee beans was missing from the packaging and I had to go back to Harvey Norman. They gave me the container from the display machine. Now, 30 days on ... the water tank is leaking into the tray. I used the machine this morning. Switched it off after use and 2 hrs later found half the tank water had leaked onto the bench, under iPad and down to the floor. No acceptable after only 30 days of use. It makes good coffee but there are clearly production and mechanical issues.

What a disaster

published

Unfortunately we couldn't agree more with all the criticism. Within 3 months the grinder, the tray, the temperature etc, all went down. Within 4 weeks we sent the machine back for repair and had six weeks to wait before the machine returned. And then, within 3 days the watersupply was blocked. Just around Christmas.
I'm just curieus if someone got his of her money back instead of endless repairs.

Great esspresso machine

published

After adjusting coffee grind. This machine makes and excellent brew. Easy to use, semi manual unit. I definitely recommend to listen to DeLonghi instructual video prior to using. Also insertion of coffee grind holder does not explain the twist and click clearly. Took me a few minutes to figure that out. I was affraind to break the holder.

Totally satisfied

published

Having it for 4 days now. Did 3-4 espresso to adjust the amount of coffee from the grinder. Naturally I've read the user's guide. Very satisfied. Will see in a couple of months. Former coffee machine was leaking every morning. Now I can enjoy a latte every morning with no mess and the wife is happy.

DeLonghi La Specialista EC9335M Leaking from Tray

published

Hi, I read that this machine leaded from the tray but had had drink from one at a friends place and thought

"surely they will have fixed the leaking tray issue."

Wrong- had it for 1 month and it's leaded all over the bench 4-5 times now for no apparent reason- may have to return it- will probably just want a full refund.

Onto my third.....

published

I first bought this machine in May 2022. Worked fine...for one month and then the grinder stopped working. Returned to Myer and it was replace no questions asked. The second one lasted 6 months performing fine....until the grinder stopped again - same problem.
Returned to Myer and being a sucker for punishmentI took the THIRD MACHINE in just over 6 months. I have registered it with Delonghi again so hopefully if it fails I will get a full refund of my purchase price.
I wouldn't recommend this machine at the moment to anyone

Coffee grinder lasted 6 cups then made terrible noise and stopped, never to grind again. Difficult to see cups under dispenser and no water gauge until red warning light flashes. Returned to The Good Guys no questions asked, replaced with Sunbeam.

Looks Good, however

published

Purchased this machine July,19- Paid $949-previously had two Breville coffee makers and thought would like a change-disappointed. Had it replaced shortly after purchase as it leaked water from the tank. Have spoken to a representative of the Company as I am finding it difficult to get the right amount of coffee in the filter holder. If I turn the ground coffee quantity dial down to absolute minimum it still spews out too much coffee. Also to get the right milk temperature when frothing it is necessary to turn the speed dial twice. For $949 I am disappointed with the unit-especially when it was strongly recommended by the sales person.

Spoke to George at DeLonghi who was most helpful. He has arranged for a new modified drip tray and float to be sent to me and assures me that this problem has been rectified by DeLonghi. Fingers crossed!
