Design

The esam3300 maybe compact and economical on space, but its elegantly finished body graced with meaningful features makes it a perfect companion for any kitchen. Being compact makes it fit for small and medium sized kitchens, but that doesn’t make it a one cup coffee maker. In fact, the esam3300 holds 60 ounces of water in its reservoir tank, which means that you can comfortably prepare 7 cups of espresso at a go.

Additionally, the esam3300 has adjustable coffee spigots to accommodate different sized coffee mugs when preparing espresso. Also, the machine is a powered at 1,150 watts, weighs 27.9 pounds and is only 14 inches in height.

Removable Water Tank and Bean Holder

The 60-ounce water tank is indeed removable. Actually, the esam3300 is only one of the few super automatic coffee makers that allow you to remove the reservoir and the coffee pods without having to lift the machine. And the whole process is actually automatic with the on/off switches located at the front part of the machine. Note also that the cappuccino system is 180⁰ rotatable, which means that you can prepare the beverage with different sized mugs.

And still, on the removable parts, the patented boiler’s compactness and the fact that it is removable makes cleaning the esam3300 even easier. The usually hard to reach parts can easily be cleaned in this machine, and better still is that you don’t have to use harsh cleaning soaps to reach them. In any case, cleaning any machine regularly makes it last longer and thus you can have confidence that the esam3300 will serve you for an even longer period of time.

Instant Reheat

The instant reheat features make it an ideal machine when preparing espresso and cappuccino at the same time. This is also enhanced with the double boiler feature, although experts recommend that you descale the boilers every three months to enhance the machine’s efficiency.

Additional Features

The machine’s froth mixer delivers an authentic and creamy cappuccino that is rare to achieve with other coffee makers. On the other hand, most Delonghi esam3300 Magnifica reviews always laud the manufacturers for the fast and highly efficient low pitch coffee ground grinder. The grinder can, in fact, be set at specific grinding levels, but if you wish you can also prepare coffee using already ground berries.

The control panel, which is very easy to use with its push button technology, allows you to make use of the programmable menu settings whenever you feel like. Additionally, the machine’s unit comes with a specially designed tray capable of holding the cups warm as you prepare to serve your family. And for more convenience, the machine comes with an electronic steam, coffee thermostat, a water level indicator, rinse auto programs and a conveniently removable drip tray.

How Does It Work?

The esam3300 is, first of all, capable of producing a variety of coffee related beverages. With its beans to brew systems, you can easily prepare coffee, espresso, cappuccino and other latte drinks all at a high speed. The machine is also known for its tasteful and rich unique flavors. The rich flavors are partly achieved due to its two steel made boilers. They enhance adequate heat distribution in the machine, and when coupled with the reheat feature and the burr grinder, make you able to produce a high quality that you and your family can be proud of.

Pros and Cons of Delonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Espresso Machine

Pros

• It is highly reliable. With two already efficient boilers, a grinding system that you can replace with already ground berries and its fast heating ability makes available to use at any time you need it. According to many Delonghi esam3300 reviews, the machine is also one of the least returned coffee makers, which is just another sign of how reliable it can be.
• Manual dial controls. While most new coffee makers have digital controls, this machine’s manually operated dials makes it even easier to use. They hardly malfunction compared to the digital or touch dials.
• The removable reservoir and bean holders also add to reasons for its great reviews. Not only does a removable reservoir make it easy to refill, it also enhances quicker cleaning of the machine.

Cons

• Its coffee grinder is a bit noisy. It may not be the noisiest coffee grinder, but it is relatively noisy for a machine of its caliber.
• It is not friendly to oily beans. But this is almost a negative encounter in almost all super automatic coffee makers.
