5.0 out of 5 stars 心の底から買って良かったと実感
Reviewed in Japan on January 22, 2019

近年、「コンビニコーヒー」のレベルアップが著しく全自動コーヒーメーカーを導入するまでは、例に漏れずコンビニに立ち寄る度に購入していた層です。「ああ、このレベルの味をコンビニで出せるんだなあ」と感動することしきり。そんなコンビニコーヒーの手軽さと味を家庭で再現できたらと思い、全自動コーヒーメーカー探しの旅へ。全自動コーヒーメーカーといえば、パナソニックのNC-A5*シリーズが有名。しかし、完全自動にこだわりたいので、ペーパーフィルター交換すらしたくない。後ろ髪を引かれる思いで断念することに。私のコーヒーに関する知識は大したことがなく、コンビニコーヒーで見かける、やや茶色がかったクリーミーな泡のことを「クレマ」と呼ぶことすら知らなかったレベルです。スタバでも勝負を避けて「これください」と指差しで注文するレベルです。動画で全自動コーヒーメーカーと呼ばれるものを色々見てみるとモコモコと泡立つクレマが！これを家でやってみたい！そう思うや否や、購入対象はマグニフィカSに絞られました。おいそれと買える価格ではないので、相当悩みました。いや、購入することはほぼ決めていたものの、やはり、コーヒーメーカーにこの価格を出せるかどうかで悩んだのです。しかし、今は心の底から買って良かったと実感しています。生活の質が一気に向上したような、そんな晴れやかな気持ちです。ここ数年で、最も良い買い物をしたと感じています。私と同じように、今も悩んでいるあなたの背中を押したいです。

在宅勤務でコーヒーを入れる際にさっと飲みたくて購入しました。結果、大満足です。朝のバタバタしているときにもさっと入れて飲んでから外に出られます。

【良い点】とにかく手軽（すぐに飲める、手入れが簡単）、エスプレッソがおいしい、コスパがいい

【悪い点】カフェジャポーネは手軽だが普通のドリップの方がおいしい気がする

【注意点】マグニフィカSは二つ種類があり、値段の手ごろなエントリーモデルだと少し機能が絞られています。特に、ミルクのスチームはレギュラー版だとカプチーノ機能のみなのでラテアート用の泡を作るのは少し難しいです。工夫すればできないこともないようですが。

もともと電動ミルとコーヒーメーカーでドリップコーヒーを飲んでいたのですが、それすら手間に感じてきたのと、もともとエスプレッソも好きなので全自動のこちらを購入しました。エスプレッソは文句なしにおいしく、カプチーノも作れるようになったのでコーヒーライフがとても充実しました。
少し大きいのですが、IKEAのワゴン（RÅSKOG ロースコグ）の天板の上に乗せるとちょうどで気に入っています。
音はしますがもともと持っている電動ミルと変わらないです。

サエコのエスプレッソマシンからの乗り換えです。最初はクレマが今ひとつ足りない感じでしたが、取説を読んで調整して、問題解決しました。美味しいコーヒーを手軽に楽しんでます。いい買物をしました。

いつかはデロンギ買いたいとおもいつつ、いい価格もするし既存のユニマットの契約もあったんで...
本日(22.10.19)、amazonからと届くので、スタバでエスプレッソローストを購入、オータムブレンドのお試しも20g頂きました
本体の設置はまぁさほど難なく、以前ユニマットで置いてた GIMOKAの機械より一回り小さい感じで、設置場所も問題なしでした
給水タンク向こうにある、メインユニットは取り外して、噴射口かな? は、洗うほうがいいらしいとの事
少しウォータースポットっぽいのがついてる程度でしたが、一応タンクやら洗えるのは水洗いしました。
硬度チェッカーが何処にあるか分からず、デロンギへ問い合わせ、電話が回るまで少し時間がかかりましたが、オペレーターの男性の方は、非常に丁寧で分かりやすく教えてくれました。
マニュアルの1ページ目に貼られていました。

設置の初期設定
少し面倒ですが、水の硬度チェックは石灰除去のタイミングが変わるようで、私の所で1でした。
本体設定はスタンバイから行う

コーヒーの調整について
豆の挽具合、お湯の量、豆の量が調整可能で、標準でスタバのエスプレッソローストは薄かったので、湯量と豆量を調整したら、本場のエスプレッソに近い味でした
豆の量は前のダイヤルで調整できるのはいいですね

コーヒーの味について
まぁ コーヒー豆によりますが、今までカプセルコーヒーでしたが、濃さは水の量で調整する程度でしたが
豆の量や水の量で調整できる点は、自分の好きな味の設定ができるので、豆のおいしさが分かる気がします
カプセルコーヒーも色々味はあるけど、スタバの豆、珈琲館の豆など、カプセルでは販売されてないのや、販売されてるけど なんか違うって事はないですね

購入の経緯
店舗で契約しているユニマットは、GIMOKA というエスプレッソを借りてました
機器の故障と維持ができないという事から、どこでも手に入るUCCのドリップポッドになりました
まぁamazonでも安く買えるんで、長年の付き合いから高いカプセルを購入してあげてました
コーヒーはお客さんに出したりで、消費量は少ないけど、コーヒー好きなので自分でもけっこう飲んでたんですが
営業時間の一時的な変更で 消費量が少なくなったので、ユニマットからできたら3箱という約束でしたが
今回は2箱でお願いしたら、「3箱でないと困ります」と言われました
これまでも2箱の場合や1箱の場合でも、何もいわれなくて、申し訳ないので、高い炭酸水や、野菜ジュース(スーパー行けば安いので)を無理に購入もしてたにもかかわらずでした。
即答で、「いいよ 機器撤去してくれ」と撤去させました。
正直、↑にも書きましたが UCＣのドリップポッドのカプセル 高い金出して購入してたので、ようやく切れました。
ホント年間無駄な経費だと思ってたので、同じ経費つかうなら、高くてもおいしいコーヒーです
UCCは返却しましたが、自宅にも同じのあったので、残りのカプセルはそれで全部飲みました
飲み終えたので、替わりのコーヒー機器を探して、デロンギ．．．．高いしなぁとおもいつつ
１０万しないのがあるみたいで、いろいろ調べつつ、やめとこう、いややっぱいいよね．．．．．

決める条件
・全自動 豆から引ける、挽具合も調整
・豆の量が変更できる
・エスプレッソがいい レギュラーもほしい
・濃いのが飲みたい（ここはギャンブル）
他メーカーにもありましたが、デロンギできました

【デザイン】
全自動マシンとしてはコンパクトなデザインですね
黒を購入しましたが、これが鎮座しているとオフィスの一角感が出ます

【使いやすさ】
感覚的に分かりやすく覚えやすい操作性で、難しい事はなかったです
簡単においしいコーヒーが飲めます

【機能性】
エントリー機種なのでメニューの種類はありませんが、エスプレッソとドリップもどき（カフェ・ジャポーネと言う）が有れば十分です

【手入れのしやすさ】
基本メンテは月1でOK
受け皿、廃コーヒー、メインユニットは水でゆすぐだけ
ノズルも付属のツールで簡単でした

【サイズ】
個人的にはちょうどいいサイズだと思います
これ以上大きいと考えたかも知れません

【総評】
初めてのコーヒーメーカー。
エスプレッソは豆の違いがハッキリとわかるため、豆をいろいろ楽しめるのと、挽きたてで新鮮な味が楽しめるのは非常に気に入りました。
グラインダーのメモリは3、濃さMAXで約50mlの量で抽出するのが好みです。

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Coffee

Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2021

Style: 1) Single Coffee MakerPattern Name: 9) (High-End Milk Frothing Automatic) Large Capacity Full Spec w/ Froster, 7 Types of Milk MenuVerified Purchase

Excellent coffee machine for those of us who are true coffee snobs. This machine is an improvement over earlier variants with a larger water tank, bean hopper and coffee puck discard container. Make sure to read the directions for the best cup and forgive the machine if the first two or three are not what you expected. The instructions are a little lacking but it is easy to find YouTube videos for the Eletta. Although a bit more expensive than the Nespresso machines, there is no environmental waste associated to the end cup.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great machine with one limitation

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019

Style: 1) Single Coffee MakerPattern Name: 9) (High-End Milk Frothing Automatic) Large Capacity Full Spec w/ Froster, 7 Types of Milk MenuVerified Purchase

This is a great machine. I bought it about eight months ago and, with one exception, I’ve been very happy with it. It’s very versatile. With the touch of a button or two you can make a large variety of drinks. You can also program it to your own tastes for temperature and milk/coffee ratios. For daily use it’s also very convenient and easy to maintain. The milk carafe cleans itself (although, they do recommend thoroughly washing it about once a week) and it tells you when it needs to be descaled or the water filter needs to be changed. The screen displays for descaling and filter replacement don’t really guide you through the process so I still consult the manual for directions when performing those operations. In contrast, the screen displays during preparation of a drink are useful and informative; letting you know what’s happening, if you need to wait or if something is wrong (e.g., Insert spout).

There is one area where I found this machine disappointing. It does not operate well with dark-roasted, oily beans. For many years I had been using Starbucks Italian roast beans in my old DeLonghi coffeemaker (ESAM3500N) and in the one we gave our son a few years ago (ESAM5600SL). Those beans worked well in those two models and they made great tasting coffee. However, those beans in this coffeemaker were a big problem. I had to stand by the machine and push the beans into the grinder in order to get a full-strength cup of coffee. I found this incredibly frustrating, especially given my positive experience with the two earlier machines. Multiple calls to customer support gave me the same recommendation: switch to drier beans. I desperation, I even asked if I could exchange this machine for the more expensive model if that would solve the problem. I was informed that all the current models are meant to be used with non-oily beans. Limiting the customers’ choice of beans for machines in this price range seemed like a bizarre product development decision but it was one I was now stuck with unless I wanted to abandon this machine and sink a lot of money into some other machine. I was really reluctant to do this. Aside from the expense, I really liked the features, the functions and the flexibility of this machine. I really wanted it to work without my having to babysit each cup. So, I began a search for other beans. I tried several Starbucks varieties and even a Tanzanian Peaberry from a local roaster (thinking that the smaller beans would fall into the grinder more easily). None of these solved the problem. After several weeks of experimentation, I found that an old favorite works really well. A few months ago I switched to Lavazza Super Crema beans and I have not had a single problem since. They flow into the grinder easily and they make excellent tasting coffee.

Were it not for its problem with oily beans, I would have given this machine five stars. It’s flexibility and features are truly great. Given that you have to live with Delonghi’s restrictions on your choice of beans, I could muster only four stars.

Machine stopped working after 3 months. The Amazon listing appeared like I was buying a machine from Delonghi, it even has a link to Delonghi up by the heading. It turns out it came from Fifi Store, which is a prohibited seller and Delonghi would not honor the warranty. I feel I was intentionally deceived by this listing looking like it was from Delonghi. Delonghi should really stand behind something they manufactured but they are not.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'SUPER' Automatic Espresso Machine is right!

This machine is 'Super'!

During the last year while saving up money to buy a Super Automatic Espresso Machine, I conducted a lot of research. I'm OCD, so the research on all the different Super Automatic Espresso Machines (SAEMs) was extensive; companies, (DeLonghi, Seaco/Phillips, Gaggia, Jura, KRUPS, etc.), features and benefits, pros and cons, warranties, pricing, etc. And after all that research, I finally narrowed it down to DeLonghi's ECAM 45760 machine. Its regular price was much more than I originally wanted to spend, but my tenacity paid off because I found a demo unit that was essentially new (with only 2 drink cycles) and at a price just little above what I originally wanted to spend, and carries the 2-year warranty.

Additionally, I called a few different espresso machine repair shops, talked to their Repair Technicians, and asked which machines (Saeco/Phillips, Gaggia, Jura, KRUPs, etc.) were the most reliable that they repair the least, and I was told the DeLonghi's Super Automatic Espresso machines are the best and most reliable, especially when you follow the recommended periodic maintenance. If you take care of your machine, your machine will take care of you. ;-)

This machine has been excellent so far and is very well designed and made. The water reservoir pulls out from the front-right side, so I don't have to pull out the whole machine to add water at the top of the machine like other SAEMs. The LaCrema system makes excellent froth/milk drinks, and the selection of different type of drinks is great. I have always been more of a black drip coffee drinker, so the dedicated 'Long' Coffee function, which brews drip style coffee via a different brewing process that simulates drip style coffee processing, is awesome; I get consistent drip style cups of coffee every time. I occasionally like to drink a 'standard' Cafe Latte, and this machine makes an awesome one of those as well! Want an extra espresso shot in your Café Latte? No problem, once the Café Latte is finished being made, just press the espresso button once, and an extra shot will be added to your Café Latte. NOICE!!!

I don't understand why other reviewers have stated that some of the drink menus are difficult to understand. If you take the time to ready the User's Manual like you're supposed to, and/or watch the YouTube videos, it is very easy and intuitive. I did both, so maybe that is why it seemed to be easy and straight forward for me.

All in all, if you're looking for a reliable 'Super' Automatic Espresso Machine with great design/features, that is easy to use, has a lot of different coffee drink options, then I highly recommend this machine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not hot lattes and cappuccinos

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

Style: 1) Single Coffee MakerPattern Name: 9) (High-End Milk Frothing Automatic) Large Capacity Full Spec w/ Froster, 7 Types of Milk MenuVerified Purchase

So my in-laws have the one model below this one and while I always wanted to get a fully automatic espresso machine I wasn’t impressed. Drinks took too long to make and they didn’t come out great. Not hot enough and not enough coffee smell or flavor. So I decided to get this one thinking it will be better. For once this model has temperature control. Boy was I wrong. The temperature control didn’t help. I mostly drink cappuccino and latte which require milk. And it needs to be hot. Well it didn’t give me anywhere near the hot drinks I was looking for. Not even close to the ones you get at coffee shop. Also I have tried tons of beans from leading companies and non have produced a smell and taste I was hoping it would. If this was a $500 machine it would be ok but for a $2000 it’s not great at all. Maybe if you only want espresso this will work but then you won’t need a milk attachment. So until they make a version that automatically makes really hot milk drinks I can’t be a customer. Maybe mine is defective. I’ll try another one just to see if this one is bad but something tells me it’s just the way it is.
