Caine After many years of home barista-ing and many machines, I wanted a change: I wanted a cleaner counter without knock boxes and grounds everywhere and Cafiza and backflushing and mess. It has exceeded my expectations. I drink a traditional cappuccino. Yes, the foam is the tall style shaving foam, rather than the silky microfoam, but I've learned to live with that, and the Delonghi foams better than my Gaggias, though it takes a bit longer. The steam wand is very easy to clean and does not clog. Setting the machine to the finest grind, and setting it to the highest strength and highest temp, my cappas are perfect -- absolutely delicious. Yes, it's essentially thermoblock and pressurized, but I prefer the cappas' flavor to what I had with a much more expensive setup. The machine holds plenty of beans, and cleans itself superbly every time. It's a design marvel and easy to use I'm happy I didn't get the model with the milk container, because the steaming is very easy to do myself, and using a thermometer, I can make sure the steamed milk is the temp I want. The main negative for me is that I wish the water container were one inch wider [and hence the machine one inch wider] which would have significantly increased the volume of water it contained: I find myself refilling the water often, compared to emptying pucks or refilling beans, which is rare. Overall, I'm very happy I went for this Perfecta. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. I have never had a better cup of coffee! By C. Houlding This machine is AMAZING! I have never tasted smoother, richer coffee ever ... not even in coffee shops. It is so easy to use and within minutes you can have espresso, latte, cappuccino or americano coffee. I used a French press using conventional percolators have tried and have used a pod machine, coffee maker but it gets 10 out of 5 stars if I could to assess itself! You can use coffee beans (the machine automatically grinds as much as is required) or you can add ground beans yourself, you can choose the strength of coffee you want and what volume. I will never go back to the other methods of coffee! The only thing is ... We're all drinking too much good coffee now! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Delonghi Perfecta Super Automatic Espresso Machine by Sergey Latkin I use this machine for about two weeks and I find it so far. It makes a great espresso in just 30 seconds with the push of a button. I also tried making cappuccino a few times and they were OK, but the nozzle is a bit short, leaving little space between the machine and the staff themselves. For those who complain of cold coffee, I would say read the manual, people. Coffee temperature can be adjusted, and it is not the highest setting initialy Also, if you use fine china and bone china cups, paper cups or never (ugh!), they would not cool drink as much as ordinary stoneware mugs.
