DeLonghi ESAM3300 Features

From people that are just getting into making their own espresso you often hear that they want it to be easy. New espresso machine buyers are afraid that their coffee will not be as nice as they are used to when ordering from their local coffee place. Hence, they want and trust in a more automated machine. Some owners are growing tired of the hassle and wait to simply have a cup of coffee. You can even set a timer for the machine to brew your coffee for a certain time in the morning without your assistance(Absolutely love this!).

Consistency and simplicity is where the DeLonghi ESAM3300 excel. You can forget about the hassle and wait, and still consistently get a quality cup of coffee.

Easy to use

One of the DeLonghi ESAM3300 key features is that it is so easy to use. It helps the novice espresso maker to make a respectable cup of espresso. It is as easy as selecting a single or a double, how full you want the cup as well as how strong. And then you press a button. You will be drinking your first espresso within minutes of opening the package. There are not a lot of parts to put together and assembling the machine is quite easy. However, make sure to buy some coffee beans as there are none included in the box.

Easy cleaning

The combination that the coffee maker is built of stainless steel and the way it is constructed makes the machine easy to clean. And in addition, the machine does a flush every time you turn it on and off. Most of the time all you have to do is dump the grounds and rinse the machine down.

Not a lot of space

Unlike most others, this coffee maker does not take a lot of space. Having a incorporated burr grinder takes away the need of having an extra unit taking up surface space. It also got a convenient hideaway storage tray to store small items that you always want ready to hand.
