I first bought a Melitta machine to replace the one i already had but it was rubbish so sent it back. The De'Longhi Eletta Explore is an excellent machine. Have made 56 cups so far, with Americano, Latte and Latte macchiato. Easy to set up, the machine gives you step by step instructions. I followed the instructions to set the grind, Heat and strength this produced a great coffee using 100% Arabic Kjt57 · argos.co.uk
