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

Der beste und komfortabelste Kaffeevollautomat den ich je hatte. Fängt an bei der Bohnenauswahl an der Maschine und endet bei den leckersten Kaffeespezialitäten. Optik und Haptik des Automaten sind absolut erstklassig. Sie sieht chic und edel aus, was durch das große Touchdisplay noch betont wird. Man wird auch sehr gut in die Technik der Maschine eingeführt. Und das alles im Handumdrehen. Erstmal Spydermike · mediamarkt.de
