Oh my god! What can I say! My friend has this machine and when I saw it my jaw dropped. I fell in love it is so well designed. The milk froths and heats PERFECTLY every single time. Fully customisable drinks. And what a Crema . Beautiful. From cappuccino to espresso I must of had about 6 coffees in 2 hours. Gorgeous.

I absolutely love this machine. I buy many different machines as I like to try them. This one ticks all the boxes for me. The quality of coffee is brilliant, it’s strong in its build also. Needs descaling quite frequently which is annoying and the grind is quite difficult to change as it always seems to pour too fast, even when in lowest setting.

I was intimidated when I first received this product as it seemed there was a lot to learn and was scared to do anything wrong. After following all the instructions and quick start guide I had it up and running fairly quickly. It has a large water reservoir which is great for all the self-cleaning this machine does. It is so very simple to use and couldn't be happier. It has so many options for drinks. I love the container for the milk frothing which can go in the fridge between uses and love how easy it is to use. I love how the grounds are collected and can be dumped and cleaned quickly. This machine now replaces several machines in my house having a separate coffee machine and specialty drink machine.

Absolutely love this coffee machine, my parents have it and my sister has it. I always come over their houses to use their coffee machine, there is so many options and the coffee tastes amazing and such a good quality. I have tried a couple of different coffee machines which clean out a lot easier but I do not mind the cleaning process if the coffee tastes this good. It is worth the money.

I had this machine for a few months now. And it’s def a must have for us. My husband works from home, and puts in a lot of hours. So he drinks coffee a lot. He loves to be able to make coffee in one button! The expresso came out perfectly. Definitely worths the price.

I will NEVER go to a coffee shop again!

I have to admit I jumped on the k-cup wagon a long time ago- I have officially stopped! This machine is incredible! I was able to take it out of the box - soak the filter- pour the coffee beans in- choose my settings and it does the rest of the work.Now I can just enjoy....If you want a cappuccino/caffelatte ect.. you need the milk container filled. It comes with the hot water spout already attached. You will need to take this off to attach the milk container. If you have milk left over- don’t dump it- it convinently can be placed in the fridge to use later. With every use - turn the dial on the milk container to the “clean” setting to prevent any milk from sitting in the nozzle. Place a cup under the nozzle to collect the hot water.Tip: it suggests skim & 2% ... MoreI have to admit I jumped on the k-cup wagon a long time ago- I have officially stopped!

With every use - turn the dial on the milk container to the “clean” setting to prevent any milk from sitting in the nozzle. Place a cup under the nozzle to collect the hot water.Tip: it suggests skim & 2% for the machine. Their are setting on the dial for your choice of frothiness. I love the thick froth. It comes out so creamy!!!The drip tray is large and forgiving if you forget to use a cup for rinsing and cleaning the milk nozzle. Simply pull and it comes out easily with the grounds container attached. It’s really easy to dump and rinse.Coffee beans:: VERY IMPORTANT:: chose a NON OILY bean. Get a lighter roast. The oily dark roast bean will create a gummy film and destroy the grinder. You will still get a great taste - flavors you never knew existed within coffee. I was a dark roast snob until I owned this machine. This machine allows the grounds and water to meet at the perfect temperature to make the best cup of coffee I have EVER tasted... from light/med roast- CRAZY I know.Something I found that is really important is the grinding settings- change this when the machine is ON. It comes factory set at a 7. You can go all the way down to a fine grind with a 1 or 2. I played around with it for awhile and my perfect cup came from a 1 grind. My caffelatte came out perfect!!!! I feel like it had perfect body- combined with the super frothy milk setting- I had the best cup of my life.The handbooks and easy set up guide is really helpful. I found playing around with it awhile and tasting the coffee on the different ground setting as so forth helped me find the best coffee for me. There is even a setting for “my perfect cup” so your machine will make it for you the same way every time.The hot water nozzle needs to be replaced if you use your milk container attachment. This can be used just for hot water for teas. It’s the perfect temp to make a great cup of tea as well.There is a top cup warmer... WHAAAT!!??? I’m in heaven. Place your cup upside down to warm your cup. This is magical.Tips:The water resivour pull out from the front for easy filling. The coffee beansare inserted on top. Pre ground has a flip top compartment in the bean area. *get the expresso grind* This machine also comes with a handy dandy scoop for exact measurement.Filter replacements are reasonably priced and you should change them every 2 months with regular use. This is an investment and should be treated with care. Descaling is important as well. Carefully do as the instructions say and always use the Delonghi brand. The products are made for this machine.I am overall impressed and will NEVER go back to coffee shops after tasting this coffee. I have a pep in my step again- morning will be brighter!

Love the Eletta Explore!

I used to travel overseas frequently on work and loved having an espresso or cappuccino daily. Since my travel has slowed down I’ve missed those fresh drinks and have wanted to get an automatic espresso maker comparable to what I’d use in hotel and airport lounges. I’ve had the Delonghi Eletta Explore for about a month and it exceeds my expectations so far. From simply a show of espresso to a macchiato to a cold brew iced mocha this machine does it all. Just hoping it lasts a long time!

Replaced my aging Gaggia Brera with the Eletta and am very very pleased.

I purchased a refurbished 45.366B and we are truly pleased. The Gaggia always had problems. From puddles of water under it to pump issues. It lasted a few years but we we're never really impressed with it. When we decided to replace it we looked at the Brevilles given the positive reviews but steered away given that we are not into the whole wannabe-Barista role playing. I want a decent cup, with or without milk and do the bare minimum in machine maintenance. This unit meets that need:- Large 64oz water reservoir, so you don't have to keep on refilling and splashing water. You also can refill it by only partly removing the reservoir and pouring from a bottle. Very convenient.- Large bean reservoir w/ Burr grinder- Self-cleaning removable / modular milk reservoir ... MoreI purchased a refurbished 45.366B and we are truly pleased.

Super frothy.- Easily configurable "my coffee" customized setting- clean dried pucks from the coffee grind. None of the wet sludge the Gaggia used to create.- much less descaling work. Gaggia was every 1.5 weeks. This is every month.Excellent. even refurbished. Works like new.

Who needs coffee shops anymore?!

We are very impressed with this espresso machine, we enjoy multiple cups of coffee throughout the day. I feel so spoiled having this at my house. Every single cup of coffee is just beautiful. Those of you who love coffee will not regret getting this machine. Yes, it’s pricey but it does so much for you and will last a long time.The ground coffee capacity holds more than most other machines and I appreciate that. The bean grinder is a very nice feature and works okay. I have had it clog once but it’s uncomplicated to fix, just keep an eye out. I love that its simple, quick, and easy to use. Just push a button and you are ready to go. Whether you like mild or strong, there are options for everyone’s taste.This machine holds 10 cups of water which is visible and ... MoreWe are very impressed with this espresso machine, we enjoy multiple cups of coffee throughout the day.

Whether you like mild or strong, there are options for everyone’s taste.This machine holds 10 cups of water which is visible and makes it easy to determine when to add water.Here are some things we do to keep the machine working well, we always wipe down the milk residue with a damp towel and use only filtered RO water to keep it working smoothly.The setup is easy, and the instructions were not hard to understand. You can view some Youtube videos if you don’t feel like reading the instruction book. The milk frother has 3 settings which makes it convenient to have it run automatically or mild/hot.The grinder issue is not a deal breaker for me, it does not happen very often. Yes, you do need to clean it after every use, which is typical to any machine and to have it running for many years. It is pricey but again if you like your coffee and typically buy coffee daily this saves you money in the long run. I love having a cup of decaf at night and this allows me to enjoy it at home. Overall, we are very happy with this machine.
