I used to be a hard core Delonghi fan girl but I have had to return the last 2 Delonghi machines I purchased I don't know if its bad luck or their QC has gone down. but i recently got my first Breville because a hell of a close out sale and I am supper impressed, and when its time to upgrade will likely be going with breville again

Team De'Longhi here. 🥰

[@ephons]

Amazing video!! Thank you very much for the comparison ❤️ I think I'm going for the Breville, it fells sturdier and, as an engineer, I value that a lot.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@norrishude6177]

Have had the breville impress for 2 months now, apart from the ease of use and the great extraction I don't have coffee grounds all over the bench anymore, brilliant, used to be such a messy affair. Re: Tamping, I always tamp twice slowly, seems to work better that way.Thanks for the review, it's spot on regarding the Breville.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

It is a nice change right!!??? what a difference. Thanks for the feedback.

[@aaronlightstone1867]

If I am on the market for an esspresso machine, but would like to make the occasional Turkish coffee, will the grinder on the Breville grind fine enough for Turkish stove top method?

[@hsvracer]

The 2 button on the Delonghi isn't just double the water, its also double the grind for the 2x basket.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

You are correct!

[@shawn1869]

Does the espresso impress come with a manual tamper or can you buy one that'll fit? I love the convenience of the dedicated tamper, but i do want to be able to do it manually.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

It does not come with one. But you can buy one ecscoffee.com/products/breville-tamper-54mm-sp0001516

[@davidhalliday7776]

You did not have the 2x button pressed for the Delonghi and you were using the double basket. Also grounds were a little below the line in the basket.

Hi like your Videos can you do a Video Philips 5400 Vs Delonghi dinamica plus which 1 you like better.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Dinamica Latte Plus...there are a few models. But we like the Dinamica better

[@pragasennaicker5429]

Hi, which would be the best option from these coffee machines below. Which makes the best coffee ☕️ and which do you prefer between the following...DeLonghi La Specor OR Ultimate DeLonghi Dedicialista Arte OR Delonghi Prima Donna I'm so confused about picking the best machine. I have the Nespresso Touch. I need a bean to cup machine. Can you please help decide, or can you do a video 📹. BTW love your videos

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Hi! Thank you for your question! We unfortunately do not carry any of the machines you mentioned. And we're not sure that the Ultimate DeLonghi Dedicialista Arte and the DeLonghi La Specor are real machines, could you be meaning some other machines?

[@pragasennaicker5429]

@@ecscoffeeinc not specifically those models of machines but similar types or anything you stock

[@ecscoffeeinc]

@@pragasennaicker5429 Which machines are you inquiring about? We do not carry the Prima Donna and the other two you mentioned are not real. Happy to help with a comparison but we just need a little more info :)

[@guyprovost]

If you want to polish the shot with the Prestigio, just keep the lever down when you take the portafilter out. It with have the same effect as the twist of the tamper, but you twist the portafilter instead.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Good tip!

[@kevinwonsetler3777]

Is there a double shot option on Breville. Also what is pressurized vs nonpressurized filter?

[@ecscoffeeinc]

You can get a double filter. Pressurized is better for beginners, less work involved and it is more forgiving.

[@Nonamename55]

Pressurized (dual walled puck/basket) is meant for beans that are roasted 30+ days ago, while the the non pressurized is meant for beans roasted within 30 days. For the dual wall pressurized filter you want finer grinds whereas non pressurized you want a coarser grind setting. And yes there are both single and double shot options. I have the express impress.

[@waynebarrett5252]

Are they any good for maken a mocha in ?

[@ceecee8757]

Just add chocolate to your latte. That's it.

[@waynebarrett5252]

First, let me say I love your videos. You guys are great. I have watched quite a few. Love them! As for this comparison, I wanted so badly to love the Breville but alas I'm not "impress"ed. My 2x tamp actually came out crooked on one of my fills. One of my other fills went over, like by a lot and I wasted good coffee on shaving the access. Two of my shot attempts, though in the "espresso range", poured out lopsided: runny on one side and barely a dribble on the other but yet the tamp was good and it looked even. (I had it on auto every time.) But, my big complaint is the Breville allowed the machine to run when the water reservoir was not even attached. That's scary and I'm sure not good for the machine. The Delonghi will not run and lights up when there is no water in the reservoir or when the reservoir is not in place. Sigh. The other issue I found was that the hot water spout was near the edge and made a mess when pouring water. Sorry, Wendy. I tried. I'm either getting the Prestigio or sticking to the la Specialista Arte.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Thank you for the feedback Suelee! We hope you find the right fit!

[@ThorMaxx]

The DeLonghi shot looks watery.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Yep. Needs to be dialed in better.

[@user-sm4wb9ns9h]

yeah the difference is the breville actually works and doesn't come entirely broken out of the box. delonghi is trash - Ive seen MANY people experiencing this in the comments of various videos.

[@dinamiena6186]

You never cheer with coffee

[@CDubya.82]

Delonghi all the way for me

[@BishBosh24]

Really? Why? Breville looks easier to get good results with no?

[@zacharymazevski2395]

expresso 🙄

[@yeldest]

There is no comparison ,,, I had both .. the group- head on my 4 year old lespecialista cracked ,, tried the breville….One week later it went back.. feels flimsy, does a weird steam purge ,, when you boil water the panel steams up. the tamper is not smooth.I was going to get a new Delongi but I patiently rebuilt mine..first cup out on a 4 year rebuild blew the breville away.. NO CONTEST . they are basically the same price…l’especislita wins hands down- sorry
