De'Longhi Eletta Explore Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Cold Brew

Bad grinder

We received our machine about 3 weeks ago. It makes the best espresso and latte. Unfortunately it broke a few days ago when the grinder stopped grinding. It will be sent back today and take 3 weeks to get back. We're hoping it does work well when it's returned. Disappointed so far in the craftsman who assembled and quality control for allowing this machine to ship.

Great coffee!

I’m delighted we purchased this machine. The functions are easy to use. The choices are extensive. The machine is much quieter than our last super automatic. The coffee is delicious and milk drinks are as good as dessert. Don’t hesitate to purchase if it’s in your price range.

Fantastic upgrade from the Keurig

We upgraded from a Keurig with integrated milk frother we'd had for years to the Eletta Explore Espresso Machine and it has brought our family so much joy! We love both the hot and cold milk frothing ability and every cup is fantastic. It's also really easy to maintain and keep clean.

Good machine but milk is only lukewarm

This machine is nice in nearly all regards, but the milk temp is not adjustable and is more lukewarm than hot.

I LOVE MY DELONGHI ELETTA EXPLORE MACHINE!

I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!! I had a DeLonghi Magnifica prior to this Explore. I really like it, but one of our sons expressed interest in getting one, so I gave him mine (good excuse to get the latest incarnation DeLonghi!). I cant start my day without my lattes! And this superb machine makes ... yup: superb lattes! It also does the same for espressos and a wealth of both hot, and cold, drinks. All espresso machines require basic cleaning, and this is to be understood by any prospective buyer of any espresso machine. This is a tiny "price" to pay for barista level coffee at home anytime the mood hits, right? Did I say LOVE? :-)

Great Machine!

Great machine! I’m so excited to make coffee each morning! I’ve tried lots of drink combinations and coffee beans so far.

Overall pretty good.

Coming from Jura E8, I like it a lot I have it for 6 months now. I would give it 5 stars if: ~The water could have hotter temperatures, so the flavor of the coffee would be stronger. ~The app is almost worthless you can't even connect with the machine. ~The cold brew and the intensity and size control functions could be better [ex: if you want to stop the coffee or milk extraction at a certain time to adjust the intensity as you would like it]

Great Machine overall but repair is a hassle.

I loved my Espresso Machine... until the grinder stopped working after 6 months. It sounds like it's trying to grind metal. When emptying the beans out, part of a screw fell out. Luckily, it is under warranty so they will repair. Unfortunately, you have to ship it back to them for them to repair & return. So, keep a backup coffee pot because we had to buy another one to use for the 2-3 weeks that we will be without our machine. Definitely got spoiled to the great coffee/espresso I was getting from this one so I'm anxious to get it back. Overall, I'm happy with it & would but it again, just disappointed that it's a hassle to repair....and hopeful that it won't break again in another 6 months after the warranty has expired.

So Glad I Finally Took Decided

This is my third super automatic espresso machine and is easily the best yet. I spent weeks researching what to buy and had whittled it down to a three, but a 4th of July 25% off sale tipped me to buy the DeLonghi Eletta Explore. I couldn't be happier. Both my wife and I have automized our morning cappuccino to our exact standards and it is so much easier than our previous two machines or our back up when traveling of using a Nespresso and a separate frother. I have also enjoyed trying new drinks and especially like the cold brew and cold foam choices.

For Espresso Drink Lovers

If you love espresso drinks this is your machine. If you are wanting coffee, by a coffee maker. This is also very high maitenance from a cleaning perspective.
