DéLonghi ESAM3000 / EAM3000B

We have had this machine for about three years or more and use it atleast 4 times a day. It works so well. We made sure it was made in Italy and not China like some. It is noisy, too noisy, but we put up with it. The coffee, ground or beans, comes out...

Not AS automated as Tassimo but far more adjustable regarding strength,quantity and quality. Tassimo only did one coffee I liked-Kenco Medium Roast-but discontinued it a while ago,hence my purchase of this machine. I now have a huge range of beans to...

some people have unrealistic expectations of their machines, all coffee machines need to be serviced from time to time and need to be treated with some degree of care. I paid $500 for the machine and for my money this machine ticks all the boxes. The...

I have had this machine for a few years and it has had a lot of use. I clean it regularly, at least once a week, and do not find it difficult at all. It only takes a few seconds if you clean the internal parts prior to turning the machine on of a...
