De'Longhi ECAM 23.120

Advantages: - Grinding coffee beans - Ability to brew both from whole beans and already ground coffee - You can adjust the grinding size and strength of coffee - I really liked that the machine itself washes all the straws before and after brewing coffee, which guarantees cleanliness and freshness and does not require any - some separate manual manipulations and time, which is usually not enough in the morning - Good hoppers for coffee, water and a container for collecting coffee after brewing. We add all this once a week or even less often - For all these characteristics, quite compact - Signals that the container for collecting used coffee is full, you can not monitor this separately

Disadvantages: - A bit noisy, but with the function of grinding coffee this should be expected, therefore, I do not consider it a disadvantage. The previous Roventa coffee machine brewed louder than this model grinds. But the grinding process is not long, so it does not make noise for a long time, then it cooks quite quietly - Does not signal that the water is running out. In principle, a transparent container is visible from the side, so it's not difficult to track it yourself, but still ... - When boiling for 1 and 2 cups, the strength differs, for 1 cup it turns out stronger and bitter. We got used to this, we dilute it a little if anything - We do not cook with milk, so I can not say anything about foams and so on. We tried it once, the foam didn't work

Comment: We bought it for parents as a gift to the house in March 2017, they drink coffee every morning. Before that, they had 2 fairly simple coffee machines (Roventa and some other), where it was required to pour water every time, grind the coffee in advance, and then rinse it, and during the brewing process it made a lot of noise and vibrated the mugs, which then began to knock and clink , it was terribly inconvenient and annoying. Therefore, this machine, in comparison with earlier experience, seemed to be just an ideal: it itself begs, cooks well, washes, it remains only to make sure that there is coffee and water. We have been using it for 1 year and 1 month, during this time no complaints have arisen, everything is normal and the cooking quality does not change. Recommended!

Advantages: A relatively cheap coffee maker from the De'Longhi product line. It brews very good coffee and is intuitive to use. Low water level alarm in the coffee machine - YES! (This is to the previous review). It is very easy to service this model.

Disadvantages: Large enough to fit into every kitchen. The cups practically do not heat up (but this is a particularly unnecessary function), the metal grill is very quickly covered with scratches. I would not call this model particularly quiet, but what an aroma from freshly ground coffee appears in the apartment! After several weeks of operation, it turned out that this model is not very suitable for making coffee from ground coffee beans. Very often, when trying to brew coffee, a fault signal appears. Well, the most annoying thing is when the expensive "abalden" ground coffee brought from Kenya simply spills out somewhere down or falls into a container for used coffee beans. "Abysmal - YES!"

Comment: My husband and I chose from two models, in the end we settled on Delonghi ECAM 23.120. We have been using it for more than a month and have never regretted the money spent. The coffee turns out to be very tasty and rich. In my opinion, the best and most aromatic drink is obtained from freshly ground coffee. There is a copucinator function. You can't cook that in a Turk. Getting up in the morning knowing that aromatic coffee is already waiting for you has become easier. It is very convenient that coffee is dispensed from two reservoirs at once. The keypad is very convenient, I quickly figured out what and how to cook. I was pleased with the "my coffee" function, in which it is not necessary to set all the parameters of the drink, it is enough to set them once. The brewing unit is easy to remove and clean. The only downside is the noise of the grinder, but it doesn't last long. I think it's a wonderful coffee machine.

Advantages: Delicious coffee is always at hand.

Disadvantages: Ill-conceived design

Comment: 1. With completeness, as I understand it, it is as lucky as anyone. I didn't have a water hardness strip. Okay, set it to the maximum - more often I do decalcification. 2. Greetings to industrial designers Delonghi (repeated hereafter). I didn't find the coffee container the first time. After checking the instructions, I was surprised: I thought it was a ventilation grill, for some reason hidden under a plastic cover. Container, so container. Fill with extreme care so that the grains do not jump out of the grates bouncing off the grates. 3. Low water level alarm.It seems to be there, but it does not seem to exist. As soon as it works, the coffee stops brewing anywhere, and in fact the portion flies into the trash. Maybe it would be worthwhile to somehow calculate whether the remaining amount of water is enough for the ordered portion, and then decide whether to cook this portion or show the low water level indicator. 4. Washing of the tubes when switching off, and especially when switching on the device. The function is undoubtedly useful. However, the performance reminds me every time, excuse me, of a little boy who has not learned very well how to get a trickle into the toilet. The jets swirl from the nozzles, and water splashes merrily all over the stand. As a result, before putting the cup down, you need to wipe off the support. 5. Configuration of the inner surfaces of containers for cake and drained water. Why such pretentiousness? You can probably wash and clean normally only in the dishwasher. It is unrealistic to just wash all these corners, corners and corners with a rag. Plaque will always remain. 6. Cooking recipe. For some reason, a double cup is less strong than a single one. It seems that the strength of any portion is standard, and the change in the amount of drink is achieved by changing the amount of boiling water. Simply put, we dilute the coffee to get more. These are the little things that almost daily overshadow my use of this unit. If you are ready to put up, you can safely choose this model.

I have been using it for more than a year. Luxurious coffee machine, excellent coffee. I bought it in the official Delongy store for 24,000, I also put 2 kg of grain coffee as a gift.
