The 1.7 litre water tank is located on the side of the machine. It slides out towards the front, which is useful if it’s placed by a wall. Be aware that the handle is built into the machine though, so if the right side is against a wall, you’ll need to leave a small gap for your hand. Most importantly, it makes brilliant coffee every time and is easy to customise, so we think it provides value for money. It’s probably not the right option if you’re on a tight budget though. Frequently Asked Questions Is it suitable for commercial use? A DeLonghi ECAM 23.460 kávéfőző kényelmes és egyszerű használatot kínál. Az intuitív vezérlőfelület és a könnyen áttekinthető kijelző lehetővé teszi, hogy könnyedén beállítsa a kívánt kávéfajtát és paramétereket. A higiénia és a tisztítás érdekében a készülék öntisztító és vízkőtelenítő funkcióval is rendelkezik. A downside is it uses a bit more water than I would have liked to rinse through when it first starts up and when it is turned off.

If you’re looking for a small and compact espresso machine, then this is a good choice. It’s also a great idea for a gift for that family member who’s always obsessed with coffee. It makes a good cup of espresso, and it’s also incredibly durable and well-built. This particularly is very nice to see in a day and age where everything else seems to be built with cheap materials and designed to break in less than a year. This is especially evident when compared to the inexpensive, test classic DeLonghi ECAM 22.110.B, which has to make do without a display altogether. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether the design of the new ECAM model is prettier than the Dinamica version, but I, for one, like it. After all, once a customer buys a new fully automatic espresso machine, they probably won’t rush out again next week for the latest one.

To round out this section, Delonghi has included a cup warmer on top of the machine, which is great for making sure your coffee is still hot when you’re ready to drink it. There’s also the option for using pre-ground coffee and a setting for water hardness. Coffee Customisation De’Longhi is well known for making some of the highest quality home espresso makers on the market, and although this machine may appear small and simple from the outside, it can make a great cup of coffee any day of the week. With this, the DeLonghi finessed a very exciting aroma out of my test beans,, which was hidden in a nicely drawn crema and a very full-bodied espresso. If you’ve already read our review of the De’Longhi Eletta, then you’ll find that this product is very similar. It’s essentially the little brother of the larger, more powerful Eletta. It has most of the same functionality, but it’s a little bit smaller and is meant more for personal use than it is for family use.

Also implemented here without any problems are DeLonghi’s compact dimensions, which we’re used to having. The brand manages to create a unique selling point through the inclusion of an automatic milk frothing system, a cup preheater and the 2-cup function, none of which are a given when reviewing a machine in this price category. As with all bean-to-cup coffee machines, the conical grinder has several settings for coarseness (13 to be exact.) You can adjust this setting using a dial within the grinder.When it comes to the grinder, DeLonghi delivers its usual high-quality performance with the ECAM 23.460. Not only is the inclusion of 13 grind settings always exceptional at this price point, but the stainless steel conical burr grinder is also supremely adjustable. Even better, one that does that without costing you an arm and a leg? The DeLonghi ECAM23460S may be the answer, and exactly the machine you’ve been looking for! The Delonghi also produces excellent cappuccino, latte and flat whites, so it’s more versatile than basic bean-to-cup coffee machines. Somehow, I just can’t shake the impression that the product design was a bit of a rush job, though. Still, that’s only due to details like a completely stupid button assignment — the quirkiest ever to appear in a super-automatic espresso machine review.
