DELONGHI ECAM23.460 Coffee Maker, Stainless Steel, 1450 W, 1.8 liters

Product Information

Now that you know a little bit more about this particular espresso maker, let’s take a few minutes to look over some of the more notable features. De’Longhi is well known for making some of the highest quality home espresso makers on the market, and although this machine may appear small and simple from the outside, it can make a great cup of coffee any day of the week.

The 23.460 is a mid-range bean-to-cup coffee machine. It’s not the most expensive, but it costs more than many alternatives.Easy to use, good variation in strength of coffee taste (this also corresponds to how much coffee is actually ground to produce that particular strength; which is good cos that means there is minimal waste). The Delonghi ECAM23.460 is a mid-range bean-to-cup coffee machine that’s designed to produce top-notch espresso and cappuccino from the comfort of your own home. It comes with features such as an automatic cappuccino function, digital display and various coffee customisation options. It’s also a popular coffee machine amongst those who want the “coffee shop” taste without spending a fortune. That doesn’t mean it’s not as obvious as it might seem: you have to press the button for a very long time for it to do its job. When it comes to naming the drinks and buttons, on other hand, things get really adventurous because there’s no espresso on the menu here. At the end of the day, the De’Longhi ECAM23.460 is a nice entry level unit. If you’re serious about coffee, however, you’ll eventually want one of De’Longhi’s larger, fancier models with all of the extra bells and whistles.

Most importantly, it makes brilliant coffee every time and is easy to customise, so we think it provides value for money. It’s probably not the right option if you’re on a tight budget though. Frequently Asked Questions Is it suitable for commercial use?A DeLonghi ECAM 23.460 kávéfőző hozzájárulhat a személyre szabott kávéélményhez, mivel lehetőséget nyújt a kávéaroma, az erősség és a hőmérséklet beállítására. A készülék vízrekesze magas kapacitású, így több csészével is egyszerre készíthet kávét. A beépített kávédaráló lehetővé teszi a friss kávébabok őrlését, ami javíthatja a kávé ízét és intenzitását. Of course, you’ll need to do some experimentation to get your perfect settings. But once you’ve found the right combination and saved them for future use, great tasting espresso is always just a few button presses away. The only downside is that coffee doesn’t always come out as hot as we like. It’s usually just about fine when making an espresso, but more of an issue when you add milk. Other Coffee Taste

After each use of the milk carafe, the machine prompts you to switch it to “clean” mode. This dispenses water through the milk nozzle into the drip tray to keep it clean and ready to use for next time. While cleaning after each use won’t be problem when making the occasional cup, if you make coffee for the whole family the continuous prompting can be annoying. However, this doesn’t produce aCappuccino, but rather aCaffè Latte — the closest thing you’ll get to a Latte Macchiato. First, let’s take a look at the specs, then I’m going to give you my in-depth DeLonghi ECAM23.460 review and see how it stands up to the competition. How does it perform though? Can it match pricier Delonghi coffee machines when it comes to taste and aroma? And is it worth the money? Keep reading our Delonghi ECAM23.460 review to find out.To round out this section, Delonghi has included a cup warmer on top of the machine, which is great for making sure your coffee is still hot when you’re ready to drink it. There’s also the option for using pre-ground coffee and a setting for water hardness. Coffee Customisation Over all, I would say lovely product, good value for money, definitely enjoying my coffee and lattes and Capus. Although you can also approximate a Cappuccino by tweaking the settings, you’re always forced to deal with the composition in detail. On the flip side, the DeLonghi ECAM 23.460 gives you maximum freedom and invites you to play around. A downside is it uses a bit more water than I would have liked to rinse through when it first starts up and when it is turned off.

This doesn’t mean that the concept is so terrible that you’ll never get it. It’s just an unnecessary first hurdle that has to be overcome. Once you’ve done that, the machine can be regulated excellently — and, above all, in small increments. The Grinder — DeLonghi Really Delivers Speaking of the front panel, the digital display shows your current mode, while a dial and several buttons are used to customise your coffee (more on that in a moment). We like that the digital display shows the progress of your coffee, so you know (roughly) how long is left. The digital panel also makes the machine intuitive to use. If you’ve already read our review of the De’Longhi Eletta, then you’ll find that this product is very similar. It’s essentially the little brother of the larger, more powerful Eletta. It has most of the same functionality, but it’s a little bit smaller and is meant more for personal use than it is for family use. Change it up! Thanks to the additional milk tank for the cappuccino system you can finally make your own cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos or just your average coffee. The choice is all yours. This coffee maker allows you to store your favourite coffee setup such as the intensity, cup size, and temperature so that your cup of coffee is always just as strong as you want it to be. There are two automatic cleaning programs: rinsing and descaling. Rinsing just pours water through the machine to clear out any let over debris, while the de-calcification program prevents limescale build-up.The most important factors when choosing a coffee machine are taste and aroma, and the Delonghi ECAM23.460 consistently produces lovely coffee. We think you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the espresso produced by this machine and coffee sold by major high street brands. As far as stainless steel grinders go, the ECAM 23.460’s version is neither particularly loud nor particularly quiet. The sound is just boringly normal — thought that’s certainly always a plus. For my fully automatic espresso machine review, I only had to turn the dial briefly and without force to achieve the finest grind. Espresso and Milk Foam — No Complaints Here
