De'Longhi Perfecta ESAM5500 Bean To Cup Coffee Machine

 

Very flexible and easily programmable to personal taste. Espresso is v good from beans, Capuccino pretty good too but I just make a good long cup of espresso and add full cream milk and re-heat in microwave for an excellent cafe-au-lait. This saves...

De'Longhi Perfecta ESAM5500 Bean To Cup Coffee Machine

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Poor quality design

 

. At first, I thought that it was a bad micro switch of both the service door and ground coffee container so I had them replaced but the issue still remained. It was such a frustration just to install new micro switches because whenever the right wires...

Real coffee taste

 

Was given a second hand unit as a gift as original owner now uses pods. Takes a while to find what brand of beans you like best but with a bit of experimentation a good cup of coffee can be obtained. After reading reports of luke warm drinks I was...
