About this deal

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably at least considering buying a bean-to-cup coffee machine. To help you make a final decision, here’s a brief overview of the advantages of bean-to-cup machines compared to other types of coffee maker: You can use Take 3 as many times as you want as long as you have the available credit on your Account TheDelonghi Eletta ECAM 44.620 is another excellent model in the Eletta range. It has stylish design, milk frothing arm and two-output nozzle - and it's also proven to be a popular coffee machine. While it didn't quite make our top 10 list, it's still an excellent bean-to-cup coffee maker. The first handy thing you will notice is the milk carafe is removable, allowing you to store it in the fridge when not in use. No one wants to start the day with an off tasting coffee first thing in the morning. The Eletta ECAM44.660.B has some excellent personalisation features. You can adjust the quantity of milk, water and coffee to make your ideal drink.

The drip tray is easy to empty. It also has an indicator that pops up if the water level gets too high, so you’ll always know when the tray needs to be emptied. When reviewing a machine with an automated milk frother, you have to bear in mind, that they will never be able to produce a textured milk as good as a barista. Maybe in the future, but certainly not now. You have probably noticed by now that De Longhi are big in the automatic coffee maker space. They have 3 entries on my list of the best bean to cup machines. But they actually produce a wide range of machines. As you would expect from such a pricey machine, the build quality is also high. With a thermal milk jug and the option of using pre-ground coffee, some serious thought has gone into the design.As we mentioned, it’s impossible to grind coffee beans without making some noise. Some machines are certainly quieter than others, but decibel noise-level isn’t information that’s often shared by manufacturers in the UK. Protect - Repair gives you unlimited repairs and if it can’t be repaired, it will be replaced with no excess to pay.

Unlike other bean-to-cup coffee machines, there are no physical buttons. Settings are accessed via the colour touchscreen (or the app). This makes the front panel look a lot cleaner and less cluttered, although we think some people might miss physical buttons. There are 2 dispensers which allows you to brew 2 shots at the same time. Or if you’re like me, then you can easily get a mug under the dispenser and put both shots in one cup, that will wake you up. Milk Based Drinks Some machines, for example, include descaling programmes. These can be run every few months to prevent limescale buildup. Automatic rinsing programs are also common.

The milk container is detachable, so it can be removed and put straight into the fridge for next time. While the foam is excellent and far more consistent than a manual frother, it doesn’t quite match up to a professional barista.

All in all I can honestly say this is an awesome machine and would be a great addition to any kitchen. As coffee machines go, the Delonghi Eletta is capable of producing smooth consistent espressos as well as a range of other coffees such as Latte, Macchiatos and Cappuccinos. Built with an adjustable burr grinder, the Siemens can grind beans consistently while keeping their aroma. It’s great for producing espresso with an attractive crema, and there’s an option for a “double shot” for when you need a caffeine boost. There are also pre-programmed drink options for Americano, flat whites, and cappuccino. De’Longhi excels in providing a true bean to cup brewing experience. All you need to do is select your favourite roasted coffee beans and place them in the hopper. The hopper is airtight and will keep your coffee fresh and flavorful as long as the lid remains closed. To use the 22000, you first need to grind beans in the supplied grinding mill. There are several settings for coarseness. Once ground, you add coffee to the machine, choose the quantity and strength and press go. The coffee is then filtered, and the 22000 can produce up to 12 cups of coffee in in one go.Delonghi bean-to-cup coffee machines are amongstthe best in the UK. In fact, three of their models made our list of the 10 best bean-to-cup machines - and there were others that cameclose. Other features include a burr grinder with 13 coarseness settings, a decalcification program and a touch display. The model also has energy saving functions and comes with a 2 year guarantee. The Delonghi Eletta ECAM44.660.B produces excellent espresso from beans. It has the smooth texture and full aroma that indicate a really good coffee. Other Coffee Taste Most importantly, reviewers praise the quality of the espresso with many claiming that if you “love coffee, you’ll love this machine.” While the model requires cleaning every few months, and this can be quite an involved process, we think it’s worth the effort considering the quality of the coffee.

The coffee is brewed using a 15-bar pump. The optimum amount o f pressure that you need to brew coffee is around 9-bars, so it’s reassuring to have that extra little bit. You can set it for a ‘pre infusion’ where the water is introduced to the coffee and then the pressure is slowly built up – giving more time for infusion. The idea behind this is that you extract more flavour out of the coffee and into your drink. The average UK mug height is 96mm so plenty of room. How Long does the Delonghi Eletta take to make an espresso? Automatic frothers, on the other hand, are usually only found on higher priced models. These froth the milk inside the machine, and can make creamy cappuccino far more consistently. So we have established that the De’Longhi Eletta is a simple machine to use, right? That’s great, but instant coffee is simple – it doesn’t make it good! To summarise, if you’re a coffee enthusiast who wants fresh coffee without spending lots of time, bean-to-cup coffee machines are almost certainly the best choice (that’s why they are sometimes called a fresh coffee maker). For making the occasional espresso a pod machine could be a good option, while for complete control you might want a pump machine. Coffee Customisation Settings
