Delonghi Perfecta ESAM 5400

Zitat: The good: + The Perfecta delivers coffees that would be the pride of any barista without any of the fuss. The design and controls are beautifully simple - pop fresh beans in one end, tweak the controls - strength, temperature, ground size and type of coffee can all be controlled with simple button presses or dial turn – and in a matter of seconds your perfectly customised cuppa is ready. A twin boiler system and professional 15-bar pressure means that temperature is always correct and there´s no wait for hot, frothy milk. The milk frother itself is a patented slot-in, one-touch system, so the final faff of getting the milk right is also eliminated. The bad: - The machine itself may be simple to use, but the instruction booklet is a little more impenetrable. Set aside half an hour to get through it. Despite its quality and price, a few of the pieces of build on the Perfecta feel quite plasticky – we would have liked to have seen more metal. Also – and this may be an odd complaint – the Perfecta somehow makes coffee-making a little too easy. By simplifying such a complex and delicate task into simple button-presses, some coffee fans may feel deprived of the pride of process. That said, if you´re looking for a machine capable of creating artisan coffee in the home, then the Perfecta is a good, solid and relatively cost-effective option that will guarantee you splendid coffee with minimum fuss.
