    This was the first review I've watched for this machine and reading the comments you have obviously improved since, to add maybe sense of humour to this ...lmao it's like your a drunk with the shakes dying for that coffee ....

      +Sue Gillespie haha my dodgy camera work, glad I've got a tripod now,,,thanks for your comments very much appreciated...yes I have improved since the early days...I don't know what it is though ,my mind goes a bit blank when I start filming and then when I finish I think "I should of said this and I should of said that"...maybe I should write a script before filming but I only have a short time to make a review due to other commitments..thanks again and keep watching.

    Why would you fill the whole cup when you're using a espresso machine? If you want an americano you add hot water after. Now you are just extracting the bitter taste from the coffee. This is hurting my eyes.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 6 lety +6

      +Emma Johnsen just my preference as I'm lazy and to be honest when I make an americano by adding hot water there is virtually no difference in taste from this..this isn't a high end espresso machine it's technically not even an espresso machine ,it's just a coffee machine using supermarket coffee of which 80% is bitter most of the time anyway. Many thanks.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 3 lety

      Yes you have to stay alert with this machine...I used to just let it fill my cup when I first got it which honestly tasted fine to me...but now with the Dedica I make a single or double shot then add the water...the pressurised baskets are simple to use and you won't quite get as authentic an espresso as in a machine without pressurised baskets.

      It’s relative.
      If you’re making a video as if you’re “informing” others on how to use a product, you have to be open to criticism. Personally I think a coffee machine like this deserves to be used properly. According to what I’ve been taught as a barista, if you’re using this method you are at fault for the result tasting bad/not good enough. It’s important to acknowledge the difference between technique and the products potential.
      It’s not fair to DeLonghi if the costumer’s coffee tastes bad due to a video on CZcams.

    I’m sorry but this is so wrong , an espresso should run for 20 seconds producing 33 ml of espresso , to make an americano you make your double espresso then add hot water so that your not draining out all the dregs in the machine & furthermore burning the coffee , the finished result is foamy and could not be further from a good cup of coffee , as a barista I highly advise against buying this machine.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 5 lety

      Thanks for adding your opinion...this is better described as a coffee maker really its not an espresso machine but can make an espresso of sorts...but for the price if its still even available to buy it makes a good cup of coffee at home...thanks again.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 4 lety +4

      I wouldn't advise it...it will probably end up smelling after a while and the milk may block the machine... I know someone who tried it with a nespresso machine and it didnt work too well...just make a small espresso and then heat the milk with the steam wand.

      Its meant to be there to hold the basket while you tap out the used grounds but I never used it and found it easier to remove the basket from the holder and tap the coffee out that way.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 3 lety +1

      Single or double espresso shot...but you have to start and stop this machine manually so you can run the machine to fill up your cup but that may affect taste...so its better to make your espresso shot then add hot water or milk depending on the drink you make...hope that helps.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 5 lety

      I now make a single or double espresso because the dedica does a set amount rather than a manual delivery like this machine...and then boil the kettle and top the cup up for an americano...honestly though there isnt much noticeable difference in taste as some will say you will get a bitter drink doing it this way.

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 5 lety

      I do think there is a bigger difference in taste making an americano in the Nespresso machine than the espresso machine rather than just just filling the cup up the lazy way...if that makes sense.

    What is the difference between ECC220.R and EC155? Thanks

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 7 lety

      +MJ Labs I think the ecc155 is the older model of the one reviewed here it has a metal finish to parts were the ecc220 is all plastic. I think the ecc155 is considered the better machine from reviews I have seen online but I'm not sure if it's still in production. hope that answers your question.

    • @naveedahmedchaudhry
      @naveedahmedchaudhry Před 7 lety

      Thank you very much, I can locally buy the ECC221.R (not ECC221.B) and EC155 easily and they are selling at a good price. In fact, the ECC221.R is cheaper. From your review of ECC221.B and the review of EC155, I can tell that EC155 has an edge over ECC221.B. It produces water as 192 C through the filter and obviously steam would be hotter than that. I see that there is very small space between the drip tray and the filter on both machines. What do you recommend, if not the DeLonghi? Thanks once again!

    • @naveedahmedchaudhry
      @naveedahmedchaudhry Před 7 lety

      I just realized that R is for red and B is for black haha

    • @dmcerrrmmmm
      @dmcerrrmmmm  Před 7 lety

      MJ Labs I was going mention that but thought you knew haha. I looked around for a while but the Delonghi machines were the more reliable buy in that price bracket of course you could spend more and go for a more high end machine but the Delonghi met my needs for the time being...it is a pain but you can remove the drip tray to fit a larger cup you can also fit a biggish cup in if you tilt it slightly when you place it under the machine with the drip tray in place .

    • @naveedahmedchaudhry
      @naveedahmedchaudhry Před 7 lety

      Thanks, I think I am going to order the EC155, it is only 133 and ECC221 is 106 USD. Do you think I should save money and buy a newer model? :D both are 1100W another surprise.
