De'Longhi Eletta Digital Super Automatic Espresso Machine with Latte Crema System, Black

表示もわかりやすく、すぐに慣れる。色んなコーヒーを飲み比べ、自分好みを探し中です。買って良かったです！

数年前からずっと悩んで購入までには至らずでしたが、覚悟を決めて今年買いました。買って大正解でした！美味しいコーヒーが簡単に毎日飲めて最高の日々を送ってます。耐久性などが不明ですがまずは星5です。ホットミルクは絶品

デロンギの全てのモデルを徹底的に比較検討した結果、エレッタ・カプチーノトップに決定しましたが、最高の選択だったと確信しています。【前提条件】・高品質の家電には金を惜しまない（家電は投資対効果が高い。世界の富豪でも使う機種はほぼ同じ）・とにかく楽して美味しいコーヒーが飲みたい（ハンドドリップが一番とか言われなくても知っとるわ！）・使わない機能は要らない・妥協はしないが、安く買いたい・安値になってる理由は把握したい【結論】De'Longhi (デロンギ) 全自動コーヒーマシン エレッタカプチーノトップ ECAM45760B 定価 248,000円【これを選んだ理由】1. 同じシリーズの基本性能は同じ上位シリーズ（エレッタ）と下位シリーズ（ディナミカ、マグニフィカ）の基本性能は天と地の差だが、同じシリーズ内の各モデルには、オプションの差だけで大きな基本性能差はない。これはパーツの生産ラインも内部構造も全く同じだから。つまり、下位シリーズの上位モデル（マグニフィカ・イーヴォ）より、上位シリーズの安価モデルはお買い得。エレッタ・イーヴォとの差は液晶デザインとウォーターフィルターと微妙なメニューだけ。2. 異常に高い最上位は無視していい→ 最上位シリーズ（プリマドンナ）や、シリーズ内の最上位モデル（エレッタ エクスプロア）が異常に高い時は無視していい。特殊な機能（常温のスチームミルク）とか、メニュー数が多いとか、液晶画面とか、アプリ連携とかの差だから。さらに、最上位シリーズは製品寿命を長くするためアップデートが遅い。3. 見た目のメニュー数に惑わされない→ ドッピオはエスプレッソ2杯分で濃いめに出せばいい。フラットホワイトは使うミルクを減らせばいい。4. 体験が大きく変わる基本機能は重視→ ミルクメニューの自動を入れるかどうかで迷った。しかし、ここは後から追加で対応不可な体験。買ったら10年は使いたい。絶対に使わない機能でなければあった方がいい。手動のミルクフロッサーに付け替えられるのもありがたい。5. メンテナンスへの不安は無さそう→ Amazon、価格コム、Xでクチコミを見まくったが、予想より掃除が面倒だった、という信頼できそうな意見はなかった。予想外はミルクのチューブくらい。6. コスパがいいのには理由がある→ エレッタの最新上位機種エクスプロアが昨年末に出て品薄状態（自分は常温ミルクでアイスカプチーノがより美味しく、に特に価値を感じなかった）。今は、前の上位機種の生産を絞って在庫整理し、代わりに最新機種の生産を増やしてるはず。だから在庫が無くなればもう買えなくなる可能性大。ということで、もう何も迷う必要がなくなった。エレッタ・トップカプチーノを購入。【2ヶ月の使用後】・大満足で、家族それぞれ毎日3杯ほど飲んでいる。手軽に美味しいコーヒーが飲める環境は、もはや手放せない。エスプレッソ、ロングコーヒー、カフェラテやカプチーノまでボタンひとつで飲めるのは本当に最高。・お出かけの時にコーヒー豆を選ぶ趣味が夫婦にできた。手頃な豆でも挽きたてなら美味しいし、贅沢な豆を選んで味を試すのも楽しい。・懸念していたメンテナンスも、思っていたより全然楽だった。水交換、カス捨て、排水受けの水捨て、は一瞬で済むし、熱湯による全自動洗浄があるので、安心。月1の内部メンテも、予想の範囲内。・ミルクメニュー（最高に美味しい）のためのミルクユニット周りのメンテナンスは、許容範囲だが、やや面倒だった。一度で使い切れなかったミルクは、ラップして冷蔵庫で保管してその日のうちに使ってる。専用のふたパーツとかあればいいのに。メンテ用にはストローなどを洗える細い毛付きブラシ（大きな歯間ブラシみたいなやつ）を100均で買って使っている。・ミルクユニットは都度洗いたくなってやや面倒なので、夏は氷を入れたグラスに牛乳を注いで、そこにストロングのラージ・エスプレッソを入れて飲むアイスカフェラテにしてる。手軽で最高に美味しい。アイス専用マシン機能なんて特に要らないと思う。・ストロングのラージ・エスプレッソを氷とミネラルウォーターで割って、カフェアメリカーノとして飲んだりもする。この飲み方はお気に入り。・買う前に予想外だったところは、電源の扱い。余熱が必要で電力消費が高いので、エコモードにしておくと電源は1時間くらいで勝手に切れる（設定次第）。でも、毎回オンオフする時に自動洗浄してくれるし、30秒くらいでスタンバイするので、これでいいかな、と思ってる。朝、タイマーで自動電源オンに出来るのは、かなり良い。・今のところ、不満らしい不満は見当たらない。最高の買い物だった。

雨の日でも忙しい日でも簡単に自宅で美味しいコーヒーやカフェラテが飲めるので良い。少し音が大きい気もするが、短時間でストレスが溜まるほどではない。コンビニのようにボタン一つでは抽出されない。内部洗浄、温める時間を経てコーヒーが入れられるようになる。少し手間に感じるが、これも短時間でストレスが溜まるほどではない。利用して1週間。日に3回使うが概ね満足している。

Excellent coffee machine for those of us who are true coffee snobs. This machine is an improvement over earlier variants with a larger water tank, bean hopper and coffee puck discard container. Make sure to read the directions for the best cup and forgive the machine if the first two or three are not what you expected. The instructions are a little lacking but it is easy to find YouTube videos for the Eletta. Although a bit more expensive than the Nespresso machines, there is no environmental waste associated to the end cup.

First impressions after only a few days use. This machine replaced a 6 year old Phillips Exprellia Evo. I don’t know how much of this is 6 years of technological advances and how much is a difference in machines / brands, but so far we like the DeLonghi much better. 1- the milk frothier on the Phillips was OK, but it left Lattés warm but not hot. The DeLonghi frothier makes better froth AND it is hot, so our drinks are much hotter, which we appreciate. 2- While the DeLonghi has some regular (think daily, weekly for the most part) maintenance, it appears to need less maintenance than the Phillips. Specifically I have to do almost nothing with the brew group with the DeLonghi, while with the Phillips I was instructed to manually clean the brew group each week and lubricate it. Access to the bean reservoir is easy. Access to the water tank is easy and the tank is (I think) a bit larger than the Phillips. Controls on the DeLonghi are intuitive (mostly), easy to use and easy to clean. The container for expended grounds is larger on the DeLonghi so I’m not constantly being told to empty the grounds.DeLonghi instructions say no changes should be needed to the machine’s default settings to make good espresso drinks. In truth, both the beans one puts in the machine and personal taste will introduce enough variability that no default settings could produce delicious espresso for even a majority of people, let alone everyone. As a result, some fine tuning of the machine is likely to be required by most people. With default settings and our coffee beans, our initial shots tasted watered down, especially in a Latté. I’ve made a couple changes to the grind (finer) and strength of the shot (stronger, more coffee per shot) and the resulting shots are MUCH better. I’ve probably got just a little more fine tuning to do, but, with very little work we’ve gotten very close. So a plus for DeLonghi, the changes were easy to make and we didn’t need to change much or spend a lot of time making changes to arrive at great coffee.While the DeLonghi machine has a large cup warmer on the top, don’t think it will warm your large coffee mugs. It doesn’t. DeLonghi says you must use their descaling solution to avoid damaging the machine. I doubt this is true, though it is probably true that there are some descaling solutions that would damage it. I looked on the container of their solution for ingredients but they are not listed. That said, the official DeLonghi descaling solution in a large container is only $2.00 per cycle on Amazon so I’m not going to worry about having to use the brand name product. It doesn’t cost that much.One of the limitations of high end home espresso machines is that they eventually need repair but there is almost no reputable place to get them repaired. When you find a place, as i did for the Phillips, you have to send it off. As a result, the quality of the machine and the number of “moving parts” it contains is very important. This DeLonghi machine has the fewest 1 and 2 star reviews over the last 3 years of any fully automatic espresso machine I found on Amazon. That suggests to me that the machines aren’t failing. And while I don’t know about the moving parts inside the machine, in my past experience less prescribed regular maintenance correlates with a machine (e.g. a car) that is more reliable. I’m expecting this DeLonghi machine to work for a longer period of time before it needs repair. I’ll keep you posted.When I have more experience with this machine I’ll update this review. For now, I’m optimistic and happy with the purchase.October 2022 - working great. Still love this machine.

This machine is 'Super'!During the last year while saving up money to buy a Super Automatic Espresso Machine, I conducted a lot of research. I'm OCD, so the research on all the different Super Automatic Espresso Machines (SAEMs) was extensive; companies, (DeLonghi, Seaco/Phillips, Gaggia, Jura, KRUPS, etc.), features and benefits, pros and cons, warranties, pricing, etc. And after all that research, I finally narrowed it down to DeLonghi's ECAM 45760 machine. Its regular price was much more than I originally wanted to spend, but my tenacity paid off because I found a demo unit that was essentially new (with only 2 drink cycles) and at a price just little above what I originally wanted to spend, and carries the 2-year warranty.Additionally, I called a few different espresso machine repair shops, talked to their Repair Technicians, and asked which machines (Saeco/Phillips, Gaggia, Jura, KRUPs, etc.) were the most reliable that they repair the least, and I was told the DeLonghi's Super Automatic Espresso machines are the best and most reliable, especially when you follow the recommended periodic maintenance. If you take care of your machine, your machine will take care of you. ;-)This machine has been excellent so far and is very well designed and made. The water reservoir pulls out from the front-right side, so I don't have to pull out the whole machine to add water at the top of the machine like other SAEMs. The LaCrema system makes excellent froth/milk drinks, and the selection of different type of drinks is great. I have always been more of a black drip coffee drinker, so the dedicated 'Long' Coffee function, which brews drip style coffee via a different brewing process that simulates drip style coffee processing, is awesome; I get consistent drip style cups of coffee every time. I occasionally like to drink a 'standard' Cafe Latte, and this machine makes an awesome one of those as well! Want an extra espresso shot in your Café Latte? No problem, once the Café Latte is finished being made, just press the espresso button once, and an extra shot will be added to your Café Latte. NOICE!!!I don't understand why other reviewers have stated that some of the drink menus are difficult to understand. If you take the time to ready the User's Manual like you're supposed to, and/or watch the YouTube videos, it is very easy and intuitive. I did both, so maybe that is why it seemed to be easy and straight forward for me.All in all, if you're looking for a reliable 'Super' Automatic Espresso Machine with great design/features, that is easy to use, has a lot of different coffee drink options, then I highly recommend this machine.

I have to say I was a bit reluctant to buy one of the super automatic espresso makers. For the price, would it be worth it? Would it make a great drink? Would be to too complex to use? Well, I have to say that my worries were all allayed.The Delonghi is a great gadget. It took no time to set up. The directions were easy to follow, and they even had instructional videos you need them. Right out of the box it makes a great cup.The automatic milk frother is easy to use and works well. This stores easy in the refrigerator when not in use. I do not miss having to hand froth the milk in the AM when I am trying to get out of the house in a hurry.It holds LOTS of bean and water, so you are not spending all kinds of time filling it up. The unit itself warms up in moments when you turn it on, so you are not standing around forever waiting for you espresso.Its not cheap....but I think its worth it. If you are a big coffee drinker like us, it will not take as much time as you think to 'pay for itself' by cutting out all the trips to the 'green mermaid'. :-)
