I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your newsletter, Kev. That's not typical of me, I usually delete everything! Thanks for keeping me up to date on all your experiments with all the different coffee machines!
Great review, good level of detail. Always good to know what level of operator these things are aimed at - we have a mixed ability group making the coffee in this house. 😃
I watch all your videos and trust the information you put out. After mich deliberation I decided to buy the Delonghi Rivelia as due to a bisy life I needed rhe ease of convenience. I am not dissapointed it is a great machine. I managed to get one new for £540.
Very entertaining and informative. Has all the info you need to know when buying but can never find out. Plus made me laugh which is always good. An added bonus is I'm sure the fantastic cappuccinos I had in Sicily several years ago were made on a delonghi machine very like those three so it brought back happy memories too 😁
I'm definitely in the "just a coffee drinker" category. Definitely found your review interesting even if I'm not in the need for a new machine (we have a built-in coffee machine which is great).
Your videos are always so thorough I love it! Been a subscriber for over a year and your videos are what helped me make my decisions on my coffee journey whether it be picking my machine, dialing in, choosing the right gadgets. Just wanted to say a massive thank you!🙏🏼
I really am thankful to you for your contributions. A bean to cup machine is almost always a more financially sizeable investment which makes it confidence building and comforting to find your reviews.
Really useful as always, my Bambino Plus has broken 😞, repair bills may mean I opt for a new machine, your reviews are my #1 choice. Like your style Kev,, straight talking, thank you 😉
Love those Italian designs. Not sure if I should go for the popular Delonghi Arte or spend a bit more on the modifiable and repairable Gaggia Classic. Love to repair and tinker , so maybe the Gaggi would be my best choice. Great reviews on this channel - thanks!
I used to be a barista many years ago and was using a whopper of a machine. Navigating home barista machinery seems really complicated as there are so many out there. found this very informative and helpful
Great review of the De Longhi machines. Very helpful and informative. I'm still not sure which would would be my favourite but the Maestro plus looks like my type of machine
The Maestro drip tray is slightly bigger capacity but it fills faster with the auto purging after steaming, most of which is internal directly into the tray, not via the wand, which seems a bit weird.
@@Coffee_Kev Oh I know, but I was more thinking of how lots of scales don't work on the old dedica drip tray because it's so tiny. (At least they don't on mine, I tried a couple of scales)
I had the 685 and purchased a metal wand from temu made huge difference . Sadly the steam died 7 weeks after purchase so now I'm trying to decide which one to buy again . Maybe just bad luck but I want one that will last while brew 4 cups day at least
I’ve got an old Delonghi. As a novice I’m going to try the bambino plus. Are there are videos instructing what to do to make a great espresso? Thanks for review
That James Hoffmann pic 🤣 Thanks a lot for the comparisons ! I feel like the Arte could be a great alternative to the Bambino which is like 50-80$ more expensive here so could be a nice recommendation to friends wanting to try espresso out. Cheers :))
Our household is split on coffee with my hubby liking flat white or espresso and myself and or daughter being cappucino or Latte. these seem to deliver on all counts but still unsure which is best.
Hi Kev, off subject, but could you potentially review the new Ninja Luxe espresso machine? The device seems at least to be very interesting in regards to all it's trying to achieve, and at a price that's lower than pretty much all its mainstream rivals. PID, inbuilt scale, auto frothing etc.
Properly laughed out loud when you flipped the storage compartment 😁
I’ve had my Delonghi for 10 years and it’s still going strong - they do seem to be well built.
What model did you get and how many cupsca day do you brew please
This is so helpful I’ve been on the fence about which machine to get so it’s useful to see you walk us through without too much complicated info
It's about time I had a proper coffee machine and this has really helped with deciding which one.
I really like the structured nature of the reviews
Love the picture under the lid Kevyouve given me options to think about for my husbands 60th present
Love your videos and especially your blog and site gives me loads of useful information and tips all the time 👍
Love the review as ever kev! The Hoff will be very pleased to see his reference haha keep up the good work!
Find these reviews really useful and explain everything in a way anyone can understand

Thanks for the details around the steam wand. Good to know there are a few work arounds 👍🏼
U can buy a metal wand adapter thru temu they're great to replace on 685
First time I considered how noisy a wand could be! Another comprehensive review!
Liked the comprehensive explanations of the differences 😊
Great review, good level of detail. Always good to know what level of operator these things are aimed at - we have a mixed ability group making the coffee in this house. 😃
Thanks Kev, I have completed another learning step in my coffee-bothering!

Thanks for helping me to choose a coffee machine Kev.
Loving all your videos so far. Slowing building up a collection of tools.
Haha, it is an expensive hobby!
The reviews are well done. I've been mulling over an espresso maker vs Bean to Cup for a while now. mainly around maintenance.
I always recommend your coffee to anyone who asks me where to buy good quality cha in the uk

Brilliant video, adding to my Christmas list

Added to watch later for reference before placing my order 😊

I already own a flair 58 and a Decent so might as well learn about the entry level Delonghi’s, but more importantly here to support Coffee Kev lol
Lots of good information here, will definitely consider this!
Love those Italian designs.

Excellent. A lot of information to digest so I will watch again with lots of pauses and notes! Cheers, Kev.
Very thorough and informative, as always.
Enjoying this. Some a bit over my head as I’m a simple coffee maker drinker but very informative so every day is a school day
Thanks for being so dedicated to us at home baristas!
Excellent content and great newsletter info and deals
Good review - clear and easy to follow. Thanks
Really nice comparison video, a good balance between being informative and humorous :)
Great reviews. Delinghi is a good brand so would always go for one of their coffee machines.
Great reviews, always informative and on the button.
Great information if I decide to upgrade. I have an old Dedica Style.
I love coffee so much. I miss working in a coffee shop because i could make myself nice coffees lool
Great review of the De Longhi machines. Very helpful and informative. I'm still not sure which would would be my favourite but the Maestro plus looks like my type of machine
Have a look at the Bambino Plus too:

Kev
A very thorough and insightful review
Great review, I think I like the one on the right most of all
Great info for those in need of details!
Thanks for your dedication to the coffee cause - but I still aspire to a Sage 😊
Funny and informative! Kev's always my 1st stop for reviews and info
Excellent video, you presented information very well.
Great content, very informative and cracking deals
The one with the biggest drip tray of course 😂 (well and a longer steam wand would also be nice I guess).
The Maestro drip tray is slightly bigger capacity but it fills faster with the auto purging after steaming, most of which is internal directly into the tray, not via the wand, which seems a bit weird.

Excellent content 🙌🏼 hooked on your videos
Great coffee content. ☕️
Great content and excellent deals 👌🏻 top newsletter
Great review, might be time to upgrade my old Delonghi
I first learnt on the Dedica before moving onto the Rancillio Silvia
Very informative video, but still a difficult choice! Also thinking about the Gaggia espresso style ... Just need to win the wife over!
Great video, always very informative
Great review, lots to consider. Thanks!
Thanks for your work Kev!
Been using the dedica for years. Class
Very thorough and nicely filmed review, great content!
Great review with a lot of useful information
Very nicely filmed review.
Sounds like there are pros and cons to all of the machines. But your review is really helpful.
Thanks Claire :-)
I’ve got an old Delonghi. As a novice I’m going to try the bambino plus. Are there are videos instructing what to do to make a great espresso? Thanks for review
Another excellent review. Thanks
Love the vid.
Played with one of the Arte in Curry’s and was just a bit flimsy to me. But then it’s a budget machine. 😅
Informative, thank you!
all three are great bits of kit!
That James Hoffmann pic 🤣 Thanks a lot for the comparisons ! I feel like the Arte could be a great alternative to the Bambino which is like 50-80$ more expensive here so could be a nice recommendation to friends wanting to try espresso out. Cheers :))
Great video as ever Kev
Our household is split on coffee with my hubby liking flat white or espresso and myself and or daughter being cappucino or Latte. these seem to deliver on all counts but still unsure which is best.
This looks fabtastic!!
Very good review and very informative
Always amused by the vids!
So much choice from DeLonghi
amazing reviews. Thank you
Thinking of a machine this size, would be interesting to compare with Sage/Breville
Great review, very similar to the Bambino plus
Great review and comparison.
Great blog. Just discovered you
Best coffee reviewer on youtube
You are very kind, thank you :-)
Great review Kev 👍
Nice review - thanks!
amazing reviews as always
interesting comparison
Love the look of these
Hi Kev, off subject, but could you potentially review the new Ninja Luxe espresso machine? The device seems at least to be very interesting in regards to all it's trying to achieve, and at a price that's lower than pretty much all its mainstream rivals. PID, inbuilt scale, auto frothing etc.
I found this very informative.
Great video as always
Great reviews love it!
Yet another great review
Good review thanks 😊
I'm not very confident so I think the auto would suit me over the manual.
Great comparison!
Great info. Thanks
Thanks for this!
here's to winning!!!!
