I'm trying to make latte art with this machine and I'm still learning about shots and frothing properly. I am wondering though, is latte art actually possible with the quality that this machine produces?

@Wholelattelovepage 8 жыл бұрын

+Connie Freitas While not impossible, it will be a challenge. This machine does not have the steaming power of more expensive machines. One key is to get the air in the milk early and then get the wand's air intake cover to stop air injection and continue rolling the milk to break up the bubbles.

Amazon has them at $169.99. Ebay has them for around £145. My Hitachi was £45 and lasted 15 years. My Morphy Richards is on Ebay for £99.56, but I've only had it a couple of years, so can't comment. My daughter has had this De Longhi coffee machine for 3 years, but it has never been a favorite with her. About 16 years ago, I had a De Longhi also (different model), and was disappointed with it, and took it back to the shop and exchanged it for a Hitachi, which served me well for 15 years, and finally met its demise because the rubber seal broke and I couldn't get another. Now, I have a Morphy Richards, and I'm happy with it so far. Time will tell. My daughter's De Longhi ECO310 has now given trouble - it trips a mains breaker when it is switched on - something I am entirely able to fix (probably) - if I could get into it. However, there are two narrow holes in the plastic bottom with "security" screws at the bottom of them. These make it impossible to open unless you have a special tool, and in my opinion, are there to make you buy a new machine rather than have some able person mend it. There was a book called "The waste makers" - about products that are made with planned obsolescence - and this is a prime example of the art. We are all in favour of recycling, but recycling materials takes a lot of energy, with a consequent impact on the environment. Fixing a device and continuing to use it for the next 10 years does not consume any energy and saves money in the purchase of a new one. My recommendation is to buy a product from a different manufacturer. My experience of De Longhi has been a poor one.

Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing your experience. The Delonghi is best thought of as an appliance when considering build quality and serviceability. Big difference between an appliance and a "machine". It's the old you get what you pay for. Delognhi ECO is a low cost appliance. You cannot expect it to have the reliability or serviceability of a machine. My favorite entry level machine with the best bang for the buck is the North America version of the Gaggia Classic: www.wholelattelove.com/gaggia-classic-ss-brushed-stainless-steel-semi-automatic-espresso-machine EU version was modified a few years back and lost the 3-way solenoid valve :(. The Classic is very user serviceable with readily available and reasonably priced parts. Take care of it and it'll go for decades! Plus lot's of info for DIYers like our Gaggia Classic Support Wiki: wiki.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia_Classic

Whole Latte Love - thanks for your response, but I disagree with your reference to "you get what you pay for". I haven't had my current coffee maker for long enough to know its reliability. So far, so good, but what I can say is that it was a good deal cheaper than the DeLonghi. The Hitachi I had before was less than half the price of the DeLonghi and it made an average of 4-5 cups per day for 15 years, and when it died, it was just because they were no longer supplying spares. If I could have got the rubber seal, it would have continued to serve. When I did finally take it apart to see what parts of it looked potentially useful (I'm like that!), I found it easily serviceable - and it didn't have any "security" screws in it. Last time I bought a toaster, I went through quite a number, taking them out of their boxes in the shop, to find one that was held together with regular screws - then, my daughter, ever inventive, put a cheese sandwich into it - vertically - in the belief it would make a toasted cheese sandwich. Naturally, the cheese melted and ran out of the bottom, but when I went to open it to clean it out, I pulled the crumbs tray out of the bottom, and concealed underneath it, lo and behold - a deep hole with a security screw at the bottom of it. I HATE these manufacturers - hence my comment on your video. I hope it didn't offend you - but I hope the CEO of De Longhi reads it (fat chance!)

I'm planing to get Delonghi Dedica. Can I have more crema than Delonghi ECO 310 or 311? Which one do you suggest? Dedica doesn't support big cups (two cups at the same time), that is the only handicap I suppose.

@Wholelattelovepage 9 жыл бұрын

OYTUN ORAL Dedica can do two cups - just not 2 big cups. It seems however your real concern is more crema. All machines you mention should produce similar amounts of "crema" if using the same coffee. I put crema in quotes as these machines all use a pressurized filter basket. Depending on who you ask, the "crema" produced with pressurized baskets is a little different than crema produced in a non-pressurized basket where it's the grind/tamp of the coffee which creates the brewing pressure. For some that difference is not a big deal. For other (those at the espresso geek level) it's a total deal breaker. If "honest" crema is what you are after I suggest a machine with a standard size/weight portafilter and regular non-pressurized filter baskets. These require grinding before use, so a grinder. Many lower cost Gaggia machines come with standard size PFs and both pressurized and non-pressurized filter baskets. With those you can start without a grinder and move up to non-pressurized brewing if/when you pruchase a grinder. Here are two Gaggia machines you might consider: Gaggia Classic: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-classic-ss-brushed-stainless-steel-semi-automatic-espresso-machine Gaggia Evolution: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-evolution-espresso-machine-in-silver

@spotlightkids1857 9 жыл бұрын

Whole Latte Love Thanks for your explanation. I'll get a manual grinder (old style). I live in Turkey, and we are not enthusiastic about espresso too much :) Gaggia is not sold unfortunately in Turkey. Unless I'm abroad, I can't have it. Anyhow, there is almost 60 $ difference between ECO 311 and Dedica. Does this difference really worth to buy Dedica? Can I get acceptable flavour with enough cream thickness with ECO 311, or should I certainly get Dedica? As I know both machines have 15 bar pressure. What is the main difference, other than the size? Additionally, can we say the quality of coffee is more important than the machine (under 200$)? Or can we say that all espresso machines which have 15 bar pressure, makes the same quality of espresso?

@Wholelattelovepage 9 жыл бұрын

OYTUN ORAL Main difference is size. Not all machines that do 15bar are the same. In fact, 15 bar is just marketing talk. Espresso generally brewed at 9 bar. 15 bar is just what pumps are capable of. Quality of beans is most important factor, then grind, then machine.

I have been holding the machine for 3 years . I have never been able to get a thick foam that I can get from an external frother for example "aeroccino nespresso "or "lavazza modo mio milk easy" The foam always comes out thin to me and it clearly affects the taste of the cappuccino so it's like zero. I take out the steam before and acted just like here. I use a pouring jug like here and pour it slowly like here . The espresso comes out well but the whipping actually just doesn’t work. Could it be that the frother of this machine is defective? How does it work for you?

Hi, thanks for the video, Ive just bought a delonghi icona vintage machine, and I wanted to ask, can you get more cream from the espresso??, I usually get little from coffe beans, and im still learning how to make a good coffe too 😁

@Wholelattelovepage 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel, The Icona uses a pressurized filter basket. These don't produce at the same level as standard non-pressurized filter baskets. Crema from a pressurized basket is faked to some extent as liquid from the extraction is squeezed through a single tiny hole. Bubbles (pseudo crema) form on the other side of the restriction do to release of pressure. It's very different than crema formed in non-pressurized filter basket which has hundreds of holes and it's the grind size of the coffee causing pressure to build during an extraction. That said, you may improve espresso and "crema" by using a different coffee or working with grind size if you are grinding whole beans fresh for brewing. If lacking crema in your extractions and you have the option try grinding your coffee finers. Also use a coffee that's a known easy crema producer. Italian style bean blends which contain some Robusta beans in the mix are good at that. Hope that helps. Marc

@Wholelattelovepage 9 жыл бұрын

What type of coffee are you using? Pods, pre-ground, fresh ground? With pods there's not a lot you can do to change the extraction time. With pre-ground you may be able to tamp firmer to slow down the flow. If grinding your own you can grind finer to slow things down. With all that said, this machine uses a pressurized portafilter and not the puck of coffee to create the pressure so in the end it's the portafilter that controls the flow rate.

+Blanche et Bleu Hi Blanche, What we'd really prefer is to pull shots and steam milk at the same time. On a machine like this with a single thermoblock boiler that's not possible. So, whether to brew or steam first is a personal preference. We disagree with shots only lasting 10 seconds. Does that mean I have to drink it in 10 seconds or it's no good. Perhaps you are referring to the crema breaking down? There's some excellent research which shows shots don't change much inn regards to flavor/aroma in the first minute or two after extraction. Here's a link to the research which used trained testers and aroma sniffing mass spectrometers: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8eFjcaTsba4cnU.html As for the milk... Machines with auto-frothing wands like this one tend to produce an airier milk. It's honestly a challenge to steam milk for a latte with an auto-frothing wand as it's tough to produce a fine microfoam. As we define in the video, a capp is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 frothed milk. The milk poured at the end is very airy and what we'd consider appropriate for a cappuccino. While we do not have a big problem with using a spoon to hold back airier milk you will find a lot of professional baristas who have a HUGE problem with spoons!

espresso becomes oxidised after 10S which is why most espresso shots taste bad after 10S.interesting, I haven't heard of an espresso that doesn't oxidise and turn bad.

What I would like to know is what makes this machine worth $58 more than the DeLonghi ECP3630

@Wholelattelovepage 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Allen, Thanks for the question. Both are entry level pressurized basket machines. The ECO310 is a newer design with more metal used in construction of exterior case. The 310 also has dual thermostats for better control of brew and steam temps.

Thanks. That's the type of information I needed when comparing entry level espresso machines.

I'm looking at three Deloghi machines...the ECP3630, the ECO310 and the EC155. I don't trust Breville. Bad reviews for Breville on Amazon.com. However the reviews for the machines I'm interested in are just as bad. I like the EC680 the best, but its over $300 in Canada. If you had $200U.S. to spend on an entry level machine, what machine would you pick? I won't be using the frother since I don't drink dairy.

I wont thumb this video down, you got on camera had a go , well spoken good voice for sales I will say. Should be on TV., but what was the convience in this video? i see lazyness but not convenience were you in a rush to go somewhere after this video. Convenience would be to have the basket pre packed , which will show a nice creme and improve the reason for you making/posting the video in the 1st place. . Positive criticism.

+billab0ng83 Always open to critique! The point was to show how someone who likes the convenience of ESE pods could quickly and easily make a cappuccino without having to also own a grinder. No doubt higher quality espresso is made using coffee ground fresh just before pulling shots. Ease and speed was the purpose here.

Hi Evdv, Thanks for the comment. We're in that backwards country that has not fully embraced metric. Honestly, we've made a real effort to always include metric measurements in more recent videos.

Hi OCQ, Thanks for the comment sharing your opinion. I think it's better to consider this an appliance and not a machine. It's a case of you get what you pay for. Stepping up to a true entry-level machine costs more.
