Customer Review DeLonghi ESAM6600 : I had a Jura Capresso F9 for a year before it went bad – the company replaced it with a refurbished machine. I had upgraded to the Jura from a Saeco which was an absolute nightmare.
Ultimately I enjoyed my Jura but hated that none of the parts were user-serviceable and I had to rely onthe cleaning tablets to ensure that the machine was ‘clean’.
After seeing the Delonghi in a William-Sonoma store demo I thought it was great – fully integrated single-touch operation and it was SOOOO much quieter than my Jura. I decided to upgrade.
Setup was easy and all the pre-programmed touch buttons seemed to fill to the right quantities. I was nervous after seeing a couple reviews on here complaining about the milk container, but I’ve not had a problem since and I use the machine 3-4 times daily without any issue.
There was another reviewer on here who made a statement I couldn’t agree with more: you DO NOT purchase a fully automatic espresso machine with the idea that it eliminates cleaning or maintenance – that includes cleaning/cycling after each cup. However, this machine makes that process much easier.
The construction and parts are all solid-steel. It shocked me that my 00 Jura had silver plastic in the front with the audacity to call it ‘chrome’. Yeah, I’ll call that chrome when pigs call themselves fat-free.
Anyhow, I’m quite pleased with this and would certainly recommend the product for those looking to replace or upgrade their current systems. When I have guests the machine has NO problem brewing lattes, regular cups of coffees or straight espressos – I also love that I can change the strength and taste for each individual cup; this is really ideal for multi-person use or guests and something that many other machines can’t do. Or at least without completely changing the taste programming; the DeLonghi has a simple one touch button to change this between multiple taste/strength preferences.
My only ‘con’ is I wish I could turn off the pre-brew function – I don’t see this as an option in the programming screen.
Overall pluses:
– Big water tank
– inter-changeable accessories
– overall construction
– cleaning system/self-cleaning
– taste/strength change (on-the-fly)
– many more…
Cons:
– Instructional DVD didn’t work
– Pre-brew function cannot be modified
– No in-line water filter
– cleaning container by count only – doesn’t recognize if you’ve emptied or cleaned it out sooner
