I've got an older model, no auto milk frother and no touch screen. Had it for over 5 years with daily use. Still works great, never had a problem with it. Couple of tips, don't forget to wipe off the frother tip after use and every couple of months clean out the grinder module, there's a lever on it that'll move the plate down the shaft to access the lower parts, just wipe it down with a damp rag. Also the water tank is kinda small I only get a few full cups per fill and the ground hopper full indicator when only half full, so I just empty it everything I fill water. You'll need to wash out the hopper frequently since the damp grounds stick in the hopper. Enjoy!

[@JimCTSCLO]

Oh my. I missed this by one week. Enjoy and tell me how it works with the batanges coffee too.

[@ArtCoDroneSolutions]

Awesome product James now I'll be up all night from watching this this evening.

[@eprohoda]

My- Woohoo! like~that is splendid masetrpiece! ))

[@user-yk6mz8zn1g]

This is a great review, thank you. I just bought this a few days ago and love it. Super easy to use and clean.

[@celiamaria66]

This video was so helpful. Did a lot to lessen my intimidation at using my machine. Thank you!

[@walterteller7517]

Awesome coffee maker, Cristina and I are looking forward to sharing a cup with you soon. Take care from Porac Pampanga.

[@antoniosantiago9794]

Another great video...👍

[@wallytrinc9885]

My sister has the DeLonghi LaSpecialista prestige manual Coffee machine. ,, had it well over a year now , Coffee tastes great - she maintains it using an original DeLonghi descaler & uses filtered water ☕

[@johnhale9892]

I just Googled that coffee maker here in Missouri USA, $1,700.00. Wow, I thought $200.00 for my Keurig was expensive. Great machine James, too expensive for me. Great unboxing and review.

[@coocoocachooglin]

Quite a bit more than my daily $19.00 Mr. Coffee machine I use that I got from Wally World! My splurge was an Aero Press, about as close to a cup of Expresso Machine made coffee as I could get on a budget.

[@cristinateller9107]

Will call first of course!

[@bobbywilliams6961]

Very Nice 👌

[@barryinthepi390]

I will bring over my first batch of coffee beans for you to try. Maybe you can become the Spokesman for Baron Barry's Coffee. We will get a Burro and an outfit like Juan Valdez for you.

[@Neal_only1]

WOW, MASARAP !

[@cristinateller9107]

What a gadget! We would love a coffee when we visit you guys 😉

[@saudiarabiariyadh5474]

Really I love coffee

[@anniesoucek8216]

I make coffee without machine. Cowboy coffee making is how coffee was made the old fashioned way.

[@barefootmadie]

Awesome coincidence, went to cuenca, batangas yesterday (got a pic of Mt. Maculot and got my barako coffee beans from cuenca market. Though am using a manual grinder and brewer. Envy you on that coffee machine James and Ness. Enjoy your coffee sessions since weather is really cold now in Batangas.

[@pjack2533]

Good morning James and Ness😊😊

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Her nice 😎👍

[@celtosaxon]

I make coffee with nothing but a tin cup and a sieve, comes out great every time

[@Idahovandal4ever]

Holy Americano James! I'm pretty sure I can make a better quality brew here on my little AeroPress, like I do every day. $1800 buys a lot of premium coffee beans.

[@rondela7341]

you should try roasting your own coffee beans. its a rabbit-hole you would enjoy. store bought beans are stale sitting in store shelves fir months. plus companies usually roast inferior beans for the sake of profits. :)

[@coocoocachooglin]

With Jame's skill sets and interest in gardening, he might just go the rest of the way and buy a plot and grow his own coffee beans

[@darinhoffman1839]

Good am from Balas Talisay….yup we made it!! Gonna send my Ph. number James. Great review now I was told we need that machine lol 😊

[@maelenamartin4046]

I thought "Brad Pitt" spoken to you to buy that, thru his commercial coz he is in it. 😁😁😁

[@MyPIDream]

You got me Ma Elena Martin. I fell for Brad's charm!

[@dandee5018]

its a nice machine.. not many people can afford 1000 dollars for a coffee maker.. I looked it up and thought.. OMG how much... am always joking... how many food stamps is that? OMG I was wrong.. its over $1800.00 dollars... I think I only paid $2000.00 down when I had bought my jeep. Maybe when i'm in the Philippines maybe James will share a cup with me.

[@Kovaction]

Morning!

[@MyPIDream]

Chuck, you really need one of these...😊

@@MyPIDream we love our keurig!

Coffee makes the world go around, hopefully it works with Barako also :-) has a great taste

[@MyPIDream]

It does!

[@jamesb777driver]

Looking forward to coming to the Philippines for a month in February!

[@winkystreegan6244]

I was just at SM here in Cebu viewing these Coffee machines De Longhi and these are so expensive ..like 200k for these digital ones

[@JoeyBeeFit]

Hey brother, appreciate the review and I find it very cool that you live in the philippines. My wife and I just moved to Mexico and would love to check out the Philippines one day. Wanted to ask you how the machine has treated you over the last year. Any issues to speak of? I'm very interested in this product but I've heard that it breaks prematurely. Love to know your experience. Thanks!

[@MyPIDream]

Using the DeLonghi every day. Start out making 4 cups in the morning for myself (2 cups), wife and gardener. Then a speciality coffee in the afternoon or evening. No problems as of this date and couldn't be more happy with our purchase. After 1 year I still give this 2 thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JoeyBeeFit]

@@MyPIDream thank you SO MUCH for the info!!

[@outlawd1]

So that looks like a nice addition to any kitchen as coffee is a friend of mine James, gotta be expensive though ?

[@MyPIDream]

Quite expensive but something us retirees can spoil ourselves with after many years of hard work and financial discipline.

[@outlawd1]

@@MyPIDream so I see my lookalike Brad Pitt is actually advertising your exact coffee maker ! Would I buy one ? yes but my old one works fine.

Pls leave out the unboxing part and use the time to explain more on the machine.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Is there a difference between the milks frothing? Like in USA we don't use that shelf stable milk.

[@MyPIDream]

There are settings in the program as well as the milk carafe that alter the type of frothing it dispenses.

[@kuzinit2374]

I got one of those old cowboy pots that I bought in Walmart’s for $15 , BETTER

[@coocoocachooglin]

Do you leave the beans in the hopper? I read somewhere to keep the beans in the freezer to keep them fresh, and only pull out enough to grind for each cup. Blasted Gadgets! Costco had air fryer on sale last week... now we have one on our counter, and the wife is experimenting, so far chicken wings are decent.

[@MyPIDream]

Yes, beans stay in the hopper. As much coffee as we drink the beans never get a chance to go stale.

[@coocoocachooglin]

@@MyPIDream We love coffee, I've always wanted an expresso maker. I've been fascinated by them since I first saw them in Sicily when I was stationed there at NAS Sigonella back in 1980. We used to go to the local town of Catana and go into the little coffee shops that faced the central fountain, they would have a giant expresso machine and people would be sitting at the counters drinking expresso with their savory or sweet treats, they also had a wall of liquors on the back wall people would drink. It was an amazing cultural experience for me as a young guy in the service. I remember returning back to the US and thinking, it's too bad we don't have something like that here. Fast forward many decades later and Starbucks is everywhere now kind of serving that same niche with a similar concept, but without the feel of sitting in the warm sun with vespas and italian chatter all around you as you sit and watch the world spin around the central fountain enjoying a favorite cup of joe. I make small cups using an Aero Press, but I'm still contemplating buying that Expresso machine someday. I'm glad you found a nice one. I'll look into it. Enjoy! ☺

[@franklentz5388]

Just a heads up, when selecting coffee look for beans that are dry, beans that are oily in appearance can(will) clog up the grinder and the machine will stop working, that was my mistake on mine. I ignored that warning, about a year after owning (warranty expired) mine had problems with not filling the cup, water running out onto the counter. I attempted to clean the unit myself and that was a disaster, so many sensors and switches. I took it to a local shop and the cost for repair was so high I just bought another machine. Just remember NO OILY BEANS!

[@MyPIDream]

No oily beans...check. It actually says that in the manual.

[@coocoocachooglin]

Interesting that you brought that up, I had the same question in my mind about oily beans and if that would cause an issue in the mechanisms.

[@franklentz5388]

That machine is a very nice machine, it is also very expensive…. I looked on lazada for an alternative, look up Lattego 3200, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but it does make a cup of fresh ground espresso, cappuccino coffee. When my expensive machine broke down I replaced it with a new Lattego 3200 for less than the cost of repairing the expensive machine. So far I’ve had it over 3 years and it’s working flawlessly but I do pay more attention to getting dry beans. I find that blonde roast beans tend to be the best, stay away from espresso or French roast, if you want darker roast buy a ground roast and bypass the machines grinder. Another thing, I just can’t stand “flavored coffee”, if you brew a cup in these machines that flavor will carry over in the machine for quite a number of regular cups.

[@TheHelicapt]

What’s an example of non oily beans. I’m completely new to this

[@franklentz5388]

@@TheHelicapt compare a lighter roast bean to a French roast, you’ll see the difference, dark roast beans have a shiny appearance while most lighter roasts have a dull look.

[@TheHelicapt]

How does it do making regular coffee?

[@MyPIDream]

Very good. That's what we make every morning. Ness regular coffee, then I make first regular then Americana (1 shot expresso and hot water to taste).

[@franklentz5388]

By the way, what was the cost there?

[@MyPIDream]

I got it on the 11/11 sale on Lazada for P105k. Using a US credit card you can also save quite a bit with the current exchange rate that favors the USD$.

[@pilotdrh]

@@MyPIDream Good savings. I just checked, Php 118,800 and they still want 520 for delivery! I better not let asawa ko see this.

[@winkystreegan6244]

i sent you videos of the prices of these coffee machines from SM

[@MyPIDream]

I saw...I didn't think there were coffee machines priced above the one we got but I was totally wrong after watching your videos.

[@winkystreegan6244]

@@MyPIDream yes those were exorbitant haha like buying the whole Café shop already

[@winkystreegan6244]

maybe this is P119k

[@MyPIDream]

P105k on Lazada's 11/11 sale. Plus paid with US$ so the exchange rate also helped tremendously with the current favorable rate.

[@karrisilantera9810]

Just watched a video where a Canadian man build a house in Southern Mindanao with 200,000 pesos. In Lazada this De’Longhi is 118.800 pesos. 😂 No offense, I don’t mean to criticize anyone. Just make an observation.

[@MyPIDream]

No offense taken. My house is built after many years of saving and now it's time to enjoy retirements simple pleasures. Ingat!

Great machine and bad coffee, you need to learn about grains coffee

[@danielbthornton]

Sheesh living the life ..too rich for my blood.. adios

[@fulltimber]

James , I've been a fan of your channel for ages , and you're a good bloke . , But as a coffee grower and a barista , that brand is junk , and their beans cheap can't sell seconds . A true Italian brand and made in Italy , starts with R , is the most reliable home machine out there. And parts available if u ever need . When yours breaks down, you throw it and buy another cheap one . Sorry mate

[@JoeyBeeFit]

That machine is made in Italy. Not saying it's the best but it's made in Italy.

[@arkinjade355]

hi im about to sell my lelit bianca and want to have a superautomatic like your machine, how hot is your milk drinks??

The DeLonghi steams the milk with 3 settings from hot milk to froth. Works for us.
