Delonghi Magnifica ESAM3500 | Crew Review

[@nettermann289]

Enjoyed watching and listening to this lady. Her presentation was informative, she seemed authentic and was not annoying like a lot of reviewers. Well done. I bought this machine and am waiting for delivery. :-)

Great machine! Easy to handle, excellent quality... 4 years experience and very happy with it... 😉

[@theminicooper]

I own this machine and you can have Latte also by changing the milk jug top section (Black part with the spout and the "Clean" button). Mine came with 2 and they are labeled Latte and Cappuccino

[@jenACIS1]

I have this same machine and loved every day with it. Have had it for 8 years! I don’t use it anymore , still Works great just I don’t use it and I don’t know if I should sell it or what to do with it. Any suggestions?

[@sanjay-no5hc]

General alarm is showing on the panel I cannot use it . What to do please. Thanks

[@ericwoodlee9745]

I had the 3300 for over a decade then moved up to the 3500. They are both great machines that I highly recommend.

Don't you miss the manual milk frother? The steam wand

How do you grind the beans

[@seachange0111]

Hi Gail (or anyone else reading), Looking for any help I can get. I have had this machine coming up on 10 years now and I DO LOVE it! But, I feel now that I am getting a bitter coffee each time. I don't remember if I changed my bean grind in the last while or not, but I may have. I know some say bitter coffee is usually due to grinding too fine.. but my coffee isn't "dripping" out when it comes out and it flows just fine, so now I am wondering if I am under extracting? Any help would be great. I rarely change any settings on this machine, but I am fairly sure that I need to now to get it back to making the great coffee that it used to.

[@betsy2010]

I love your reviews. This is our 2nd bean to cup machine and we bought it for the milk pitcher integration but are having an issue - what should the temp of a cappuccino be? ours seem lukewarm so we measured with a good thermometer and the frothed milk is only at about 95-97 degrees. Before we start looking at repair options want to find out what it "should" be and can't find it anywhere! thank you

[@samel-sabagh7283]

you say hot but I think its worm I am not too much into automatic machines since I was working in a shop selling caffitaly machines so I got interested to know how to make good coffee but to buy a good manual espresso machine & a good grinder is probably going to cost a lot more than automatic machine for now I will stay with Nescafe and coffee shops till I can afford to buy a good machine

[@drummergrl1000]

Does the strength setting change the grind setting or the amount of ground coffee?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Amount of coffee ground :D

[@manhnguyen177]

Nice review, I have a chance on purchasing this machine from a local seller, its 5 years old. Does this machine still have plenty of life left? Thx

[@TheOiftmtgnr3]

I know I'm late replying but...I have the de'longhi rialto... which is 99% similar to this machine. I've had it for 16 years! (Since 2007). I use it at least twice a day every year. Only repairs was a new boiler, new grinder and new froth button (the white piece that the milk canister connects to). I think total repairs was less then $350 in 16 years! Totally worth my investment. So many uses, never bored of my various types of coffee. Great for 1 or 2 shots to add to ice cream for epic coffee shakes (in separate blender) with your choice of creamer. Top with whip cream... yum!!!

[@collettemcintosh3857]

My milk jug won't fully connect. I've tried numerous times to push in but it refuses to fully attach. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

[@daniellalopes7994]

hi Gail, are 8k coffees too much for an used esam 3500? thanks!

[@ebigarella]

Any idea what models N and S mean?

[@CarstenBauer]

I have this machine, got it 2nd hand for $50, they said milk wasn't working. I changed 2 solenoids and cleaned the nozzle where the milk jug plugs into and fixed it. But I feel as if I'm not getting the same flow rate of milk as you do in your video. WHat could the issue be? I've given the milk jug a good clean and even unscrewed it and disassembled it.

[@theminicooper]

I would probably run a few descaling cycles?

[@deargabby4110]

Hi Gayle, is there anyway to disable the top cup warmer, we never use it and we find it gets super hot. Thankyou!

[@theminicooper]

No, the cup warmer is simply a metal plate placed above the machine's heating unit.

[@sanjay-no5hc]

Where to buy parts

[@tahaselmancakr7546]

Another best video of gear reviews by Gail as always. Does anybody know if you can grind coffee out of this machine's own use. I mean, can you grind coffee into another container by using this machine's grinder? Thanks.

[@matthewelyash6538]

Not that I am aware of.

[@tomellsworth2726]

I have a problem i hope you can help me with . I just purchased a used Delonghi Magnifica ESAM 3500 I have watched a bunch of videos on people pouring shots with the machine and in the videos the shot has a bunch beautiful Caramel colored crema on top about an inch thick . With my machine i dont seem to get that much . I get about 1/8 inch just floating on top. .I get a 1 1/2 oz shot in 10 seconds with the grind as fine as it will go . I am wondering if the grinder blades need to be replaced .I see in your video you said on the fine setting it clogged the machine . My machine will not get near that fine . I am thinking Maybe i need a finer grind.. the coffee i am using is the Lavazza gold select .

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

How fresh is your coffee? Check out this video on crema: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6KmgYJjndhrgsk

[@mocam4636]

Hi My brew unit doesn't pop out when I press the red buttons. Any ideas? And the tray can't fit due to the brew unit being too low.

[@theminicooper]

The red buttons are meant to pop-out the brew unit, they are release tabs.

[@buddieboy76]

gotta have a latte now. go Gail! 💥

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Woohoo!

[@tradergirl7067]

i have one of these and when i first plug it in it says "self diagnosis" and shuts off. but then after I leave it olugged in and just use the on and off button it works perfectly.. its just when you first plug it in? know anything?

[@theminicooper]

Yes, this is normal behavior

[@luklucky2269]

Why it always say insert water spout while i put it in already?

[@veliaqd]

Can you disable the cupwarmer ?

[@BoMortensen]

Yes you can in the menu.

[@theminicooper]

No, the cup warmer is simply a metal plate placed above the machine's heating unit.

[@boudenehuckle]

Hey guys my machine keeps telling me to fill tank but which ones the tank

[@ax599]

ha-ha, you avoided saying if the coffee was okay or not, just said it was hot :)

[@amanciber11]

Hi! new subscriber here...great videos! I'm starting a mobile business with a coffee tricycle but i don't know which machine is better for this kind of business. I can spend between 1,000 to 2,000 dollars and i have been seen machines like "La Spaziale - $1790" and "Breville dual boiler - $ 1300". ¿What do you think is better for me and this kind of business platform? another machine that you can recomend me? Thank you very much for your help. Have a great day!

[@alpaycesur6909]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@adnan9520]

This isn't a good machine. I have the EAM 3400 and it doesn't make espressos, only regular coffee. Doesn't extract any creme from the coffee beans. Definitely not worth the price.
