Note that you can make adjustments to the other options (changing the strength of the brew, adding milk, etc.), you just can’t save those changes, so you’ll have to reset them with each use. Long story short, Britain and coffee go hand-in-hand. However, recent statistics prove that people prefer to drink their coffee at home. The only issue is that your average instant or drip coffee setup can’t come close to that perfectly-prepared cappuccino that you’re used to getting at your neighbourhood Italian cafe.

Also implemented here without any problems are DeLonghi’s compact dimensions, which we’re used to having. The brand manages to create a unique selling point through the inclusion of an automatic milk frothing system, a cup preheater and the 2-cup function, none of which are a given when reviewing a machine in this price category. 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 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. The upside of the water tank size is that it’s a relatively compact machine. If you’re tight on kitchen worktop space, the Delonghi doesn’t need much room. Seriously, what’s the point? Especially since the average coffee machine buyer has just gotten used to the concept of ‘espresso’ — with all its parameters — and pays more attention to quality than ever before. My only concern is about the repeated attaching and removal of the milk container and it wearing out. 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

Again, if we have one complaint, it’s that coffees with lots of milk tend to come out lukewarm rather than hot. This is understandable, but if you like piping hot coffee you might need to put milky drinks in the microwave for a few seconds. This is achieved by only heating the water required for each beverage. De'Longhi Tubeless System reduces the amount of coffee powder left inside the grinder to a minimum, so only newly ground coffee is used to create your espresso.

Much of the DeLonghi ECAM23.460's maintenance is automated, and in fact, some users have complained that " it spends too much time rinsing.” We’re not sure if there is any such thing as a machine that’s too clean, and are all for as much automation as possible on that front!

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. Admittedly, quite often I find myself wanting to use ‘Everything’s Great, No Problems’ as a title for the cleaning section. To the manufacturer’s credit, I think this reflects just how much it cares about this important aspect, in general. Another thing we like about this unit is the generous size of the bean hopper, which holds an impressive 8.8 ounces of beans. That size is above average, so we count it as another strong point of the design. 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. 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.This doesn’t bother me much because I have absolutely no problem with the pore size. The mouthfeel is excellent, and the ideal temperature translates into a very sweet, aromatic foam. Depending on the coffee beans, this can bring a fancy new component to the flavour. Cleaning — Standard Issue

I like a lot about this particular coffee maker. My favourite thing is probably how small and compact that it is. This makes it a great option for places such as my personal study. I might even consider buying a couple of them to send out during the Holidays since they’re small and easy to ship. The Delonghi also produces excellent cappuccino, latte and flat whites, so it’s more versatile than basic bean-to-cup coffee machines.A recent study by the British Coffee Association showed that in the UK alone, over 95 million cups of coffee are sold a day. A further review of the study shows that of the people who prepare and drink coffee in their homes, just over 80% use instant coffee. You’ll still need to do some manual maintenance though. In particular, the drip tray, milk carafe and coffee bin need extra attention. 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.
