De'Longhi Eletta Explore ECAM452.57.G, Barista Coffee Machine with Milk Frothing Nozzle, Espresso Machine, Coffee Bean Machine, Automatica Coffee Machine with LatteCrema System, Dark Grey

I bought the machine after much research, and I can honestly say that I have made the right decision.I bought it is a warehouse deal which saved approximately 27% on new price, it did not come in original packaging, which I already knew. It was well packaged and there was not a single blemish or item missing except for water softness test stick ( not an issue).I set it up utilising the app, which for me has worked extremely well. I used the "bean adapt" function of the machine via the app, and for my tastes, it was a flawless process to get it to brew outstanding coffee.The ease of use and the ease of cleaning ( no need to use cleaning tablets constantly, as it only requires a descale, which I performed using the recommended de'longhi fluid). The machine and app is very intuitive for use and I have no complaints.I have a brita filter installed in the water storage, which came with the machine and fill using filtered water ( my preference, as our tap water is extremely hard, and I want to prolong the life of the machine).It is also very economical to run and costs only a few pence to make great cup of coffee, be it cappuccino, Doppio, espresso or any other drink. The cold function I use a little less, but makes a superb drink!I have used semi skimmed milk and oat milk, and both work well in the Frother, which again is very easy to clean.It has so many options to adapt every style of drink that is preset and the option to create and save your own, it could be a little overwhelming to some, that said, the options are there, only if you want them.As for noise, the grinding of the coffee is probably what you'd expect, I mean it's grinding a hard bean after all.The heat up time is fast too.Now Let's see how it performs long term!

This machine is an absolute game-changer! I can confidently say the De'Longhi Eletta Explore is one of the best automated coffee machines I've ever used. It's become the centerpiece of our kitchen, handling everything from simple cups of tea to elaborate cappuccinos. And the espressos? Let me tell you, they rival those from my favorite coffee shops.What sets this machine apart is its versatility. The dual milk system is brilliant, allowing you to make both hot and cold drinks with ease. I love the ability to create and save personalized profiles, so everyone in the family can have their coffee just the way they like it.While some have criticized the app, I've had a great experience with it. It's been a source of inspiration for trying new drinks, and I haven't had any connectivity issues.The Eletta Explore is packed with features and consistently delivers exceptional coffee. Plus, the user interface is a joy to use, with its occasional witty comments that always bring a smile to my face.A couple of things to note:* There's also a silver version of this machine that comes with a free coffee tumbler. This black version includes a free coffee pot.* De'Longhi no longer provides a free pack of coffee and descaler in the box. Instead, you'll receive a voucher for their website.Despite these minor points, the De'Longhi Eletta Explore is an outstanding coffee machine that I wholeheartedly recommend. It's an investment, but one that will elevate your coffee experience to new heights!

Coffee selection is phenomenal. Easy to use menu. Delonghi always make good products however I do think its over priced for what it is but mugs like me still pay stupid prices! :)

good coffee maker, lots of choice of drinks, you can't compare with the old machine.

This coffee machine is fantastic with so much variety to choose from. I like my cappuccinos very frothy where as my wife doesn't but you can adjust it easily or set up your own settings which is very handy. Tge machine comes with an app where you can make coffees by your phone but it rinses hot water every time you use it so it kind of makes tge app redundant

Looks good, works well, makes great coffee. Water container needs topped up pretty often but maybe I just drink to much coffee.

Fully automated. I didn't know that you could use ground coffee as well. So I am keeping my decaf beans in the machine and for my morning real coffee, I am using ground coffee. There is another compartment for this. I love it. It cleans itself. Wonderful foam at the top! Delicious. Thank you.

Great coffee machine lots of features
