Product Information

Remember, regular cleaning and maintenance will not only prolong the life of your machine but will also ensure that you keep enjoying quality coffee every morning. Who Is DeLonghi Eletta Explore For? This machine does come with a high price tag. So you need to look at all the features and decide whether they’re the ones you will actually use. If you won’t, then there are cheaper alternatives like the Cadorna Prestige available. In comparison, DeLonghi’s main competitor in this category is Jura and their flagship Z10 machine, which is twice as expensive compared to Eletta Explore. While the grinder has 13 settings, we recommend you start around the 5th finest. We generally end up going finer than this, but you don’t need to go to the finest possible setting to get a decent coffee from your Eletta Explore. Alternatively, I’ll use my bean to cup coffee maker to prepare an americano if I want a coffee-like beverage. With that said, not everyone feels the same as me, and I’m sure plenty of you will appreciate the Eletta Explore’s pot function. Hey, it’s there if you want it. Different strokes for different folks, right? Warranty

So my early conclusion was that it delivers on its promises and offers an exceptional coffee experience that is hard to beat. And in the rest of my DeLonghi Eletta Explore review, I’ll share more detailed findings. Main Features Built Quality For a while I was able to introduce you to one bean-to-cup innovation after another in my super automatic espresso machine guide 2023. However, it’s getting a lot harder now. I’m seeing way fewer devices that can wow customers with technological leaps. Setting the temperature to low, aroma to max, and grind to three gave me the most balanced result (where the coffee would finish), but it still doesn't compare to what I get from my Magnifica S. It's a lot more drinkable than the out-of-the-box settings. As a lover of espresso and all its fancy drinks, I give the DeLonghi Eletta Explore two enthusiastic thumbs up. It is a great espresso machine and definitely worth considering if you’re looking for superior brewing performance and convenience.The grinder and brew group – the core of any coffee maker – are both made with durability in mind. These parts are the heart of the machine, responsible for creating the perfect cup of coffee every time, and they clearly haven’t been skimped on in terms of build quality. Ease of Use DeLonghi has tried to give the Eletta Explore a personality. Thankfully, we don’t have Marvin the paranoid espresso machine (a Hitchhiker’s reference for those less nerdy than me). In that case, the machine will prompt you to add a specific number of ice cubes based on the drink. That’s because the milk foam comes out at around 68°F (20°C), while the coffee is much hotter, around 165°F (75°C). presets: With over 50 presets to choose from, you can effortlessly create a variety of hot, cold, or even iced coffee recipes.

Descaling – Descaling your Eletta Explore every three to four months is important to remove calcium and mineral deposits that can build up over time. Use the manufacturer’s recommended descaling solution and follow the instructions carefully for best results. But it’s not just about milk-based beverages. The DeLonghi Eletta Explore also offers a wide range of coffee specialities to suit different tastes. Whether you want a bold double-shot espresso or a milder Americano, it’s got you covered. Earlier in this DeLonghi Eletta Explore review I mentioned the fact that the Italians are clearly trying to take on the Swiss with this machine. Let’s take a closer look at how the Eletta Explore fares in comparison with the Z10 as well as a couple of other coffee makers. DeLonghi Eletta Explore vs Dinamica Plus Every few weeks, the grinder will need to be brushed (or vacuumed). Avoid using super oily beans as these can damage the grinder and require it to be fully dismantled and deep cleaned.I love it when I don’t have to say much about cleaning and descaling. I can bet you love it too! Anyway, the Eletta Explore has been designed to make cleaning and maintenance something you won’t have to dread. You can even save your favourite recipes with the customizable “My Menu” function. So with just one touch of a button, you can enjoy your preferred coffee drinks anytime. Plus, the “cold” drinks are actually really good. But you do have to make sure you add enough iceto them. Since the coffee and milk aren’t actually cold, they rely on some dilution from the ice melting to get the balance right. But to get these features on another machine you have to spend A LOT more money. So even if you only make iced coffee one month a year, the DeLonghi Eletta Explore will 100% be worth the money.
