Delonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Coffee Machine Review

When it comes to a cup of espresso, some people are a little picky and some are not. I, unfortunately, am one of those people who has to have my espresso just so and for that reason alone, I was very particular about buying my first espresso machine. I'd heard that a lot of them were poorly made and would not stand up to daily use. However, when I read some of the reviews about the DeLonghi ESAM3300 espresso/coffee machine, I knew that I just had to have it.

The DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica espresso machine is really one of a kind in the crowded arena of coffee machines. The DeLonghi ESAM3300 espresso/coffee machine does everything from grind the beans to keep your cup warm after it is brewed, and basically all you have to do is turn on the timer and let the machine do the rest.

The DeLonghi ESAM3300 espresso/coffee machine makes a great cup of coffee because unlike many other espresso machines, it doesn't grind the beans until it is time to brew. So, you will never be making coffee with stale beans, and after your cup is brewed, the heated tray keeps it nice and hot until you are ready to drink it. The DeLonghi ESAM3300 also comes with a timer so if you forget to turn it off when you leave in the morning, it will do so by itself. My only minor complaint is that whilst the machine turns itself off automatically (not a bad feature) there is no auto turn on (I guess the next model up has that ) so in the morning you have to wait around for a minute or two whilst it warm itself up. The cup warmer also turns off with the machine. It would be nice if this could stay turned on for a little longer. This machine can also squirt a little water out as you turn it on and off so it's advisable to keep a cup or milk container nearby.

You could certainly buy a cheaper espresso machine, but you would not find one with half the features of the DeLonghi ESAM3300 espresso/coffee machine. This machine looks fantastic in my kitchen, does not take up a lot of space, and feels so solid and sturdy that I know it will last for years. I highly recommend the DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica for people such as me, who are very particular about the freshness of their coffee in tehe morning.
