Quality Superautomatic and Upgrade I’m going to make reference to the older DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM3300 during this review. I’ve had that machine for quite a few years, and it has served me well.

Really do like, few quirks Really do like this machine. Has got some quirks, but I can handle them. My findings:1st quirk is how much water it uses for cleaning – cleans coffee spout both on turn-on and turn-off – wasting lots of water in a drought, and making a harder decision to make 1 quick cup of coffee. But it is automatic, that I like – but you have to remember to replace a catch bowl – which is also a quirk – catch basin is too small and I find I need to use a glass measuring cup for catching rinse…
Good Machine, overall I bought this machine against my better judgement, after the ESAM3300 machine I had just bought, didn’t work.

Instead, I opted for more bells and whistles in a higher class DeLonghi. I had never tried a superauto that used a milk tank instead of a frothing wand, so I pulled the trigger on this one…
