De’Longhi ECO310 Espresso Maker–Good Espresso Maker

As an office worker, drinking coffee has become a part of my daily life. Most of the time, in order to save time, I choose to go to a coffee shop and buy a cup of coffee, which costs twenty or thirty dollars. Because I drink more American style and latte, I can’t taste any difference in taste. But since I bought a coffee machine, drinking coffee is not just a part of breakfast for me, it is also a part of the joy of daily life. Not only can you save some time and money, but you can also have the fun of doing it yourself. I have tested a lot of coffee machines. I have been looking at the De’Longhi coffee machine for a long time and placed an order. Overall, it is a good product.

I believe that when you saw its appearance, you must have thought the same as me, how could there be such a cute coffee machine. This one is De’Longhi’s new retro series product. It continues the brand characteristics and adds retro cream color, combining good looks and practicality into one. It looks comfortable and eye-catching when placed in the kitchen, especially when you get up early and want to make a cup of coffee, all fatigue will be swept away by the object in front of you. 

But don’t underestimate it, it is not just about appearance. If you are an espresso lover or a cappuccino lover, then this coffee machine is for you. Its unique extraction function can give you a cup of mellow and rich espresso with a pressure pump of 15 bar. There is also a built-in steam wand that can help you quickly froth milk, allowing you to make a cup of cappuccino at home.

Performance

As an entry-level product, this coffee machine has many great features. For example, with its dual-function filter holder, you can choose between double cups and single cups, which greatly saves time if multiple people need to drink coffee in the morning. Don’t underestimate this built-in steam wand. This may be the most suitable steam wand for beginners to milk frothing that I have ever seen. It has a finger grip for better operation. If you are not very good at frothing at first, By consolidating it multiple times, you can quickly create perfect milk froth.

Another feature that I have to mention is the cup warmer. I believe that in winter, if you want to make a cup of latte or cappuccino, the biggest problem you worry about is that the coffee cools down when you froth or heat the milk. , if you are a hot coffee lover, the cold coffee mix will affect the taste of the coffee, which may make you feel disappointed. But a bottle warmer allows you to maintain the temperature of your coffee while frothing milk.

How I test it?

You can fill the kettle with water and preheat it first, then preheat it and do other things in the morning to save time. I think the most important step that affects the taste the most is putting the coffee powder into the coffee filter and compacting it. We’ve tested it many times and found that if you don’t tamp down the coffee enough, the coffee grounds will be too loose and the flavor won’t be as strong. This may waste your fine coffee grounds. During the extraction process, you can observe the state of the coffee and end the extraction at any time. I personally prefer rich espresso coffee, so after about half a minute, I got a cup of fragrant coffee. Because of this, I prefer to drink latte, both to make the taste richer and to test this product. I tried the milk frother for frothing. To be honest, I love drinking coffee, but when it comes to frothing milk, I am a complete novice. I followed the instructions. Remember not to rotate your cup when frothing milk. Move the cup after the milk is frothed, so that the effect of frothing milk will be better. In the end, when the coffee was good, it took about five or six minutes. I am quite satisfied with this speed.

How to clean it?

Cleaning your coffee machine is not difficult. The inside of the coffee machine can be cleaned once a month. You only need to mix vinegar and water into the water tank, press the extraction button, and drain the water in the water tank. Daily cleaning only requires cleaning the coffee filter, pouring out the coffee grounds after use and rinsing them with clean water. The drip tray can be taken out and cleaned once a week and rinsed with water.
