More money = more features
Generally, the more money you pay, the more features you will get.
The table below gives an overview of what each machine can do. These are all DeLonghi Bean to Cup Coffee machines. This should help you compare the different bean to cup coffee machines available.
When comparing De’longhi coffee machines you may notice that some are very similar to each other, and you’d be right, they are.
Some machines only differ in colour, often the last letter of the machine name denoted the colour, for example ECAM 4200.s is Silver.
.S means Silver in De’Longhi speak….
De’Longhi’s top bean to cup coffee machines feature full metal cases and stainless steel trim and parts.
If you are comparing the ECAM 4200 to ECAM 28.466.M for example, then you will notice that the cheaper 4200 is all plastic, lacks some advanced functions and doesn’t have automated milk frothing functions. This doesn’t mean it will produce worse coffee, only that it will require more skill and time to produce a cappuccino or similar.

Coffee, combined With the like of pumpkin seed, Siberian ginseng and saw palmetto, it supplies essential
vitamins and minerals and tastes very good.
Howdy! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects? Thanks a ton!
It most certainly is far better try to make your
own caffeinated drinks versus paying for one from a area Starbucks.
Just envision the sum of money you’ll be saving with investing
in a sophisticated espresso machine inside a habitat or
work office. I’m sure most of your readers agree this is a sensational
article and will pass it to my fans on social web sites
There are certainly a variety of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a nice level to bring up. I offer the ideas above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up the place crucial factor might be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
I loved your blog article. Really looking forward to read more. Want more.
For full flexibility to create the types of drink you like, the best option is a manual espresso machine, which is similar to the ones used in coffee shops.
Good post. I am going through some of these issues as well..
Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative.
I am going to watch out for brussels. I’ll appreciate if
you continue this in future. Numerous people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
All i hope is that you make a better cup of coffee. Roger
Can someone with more knowledge tell me what exactly is the difference between
DeLonghi Eletta ECAM 44.660.B and De’Longhi Eletta ECAM 45.760 ?
The first one is much cheaper but from their webpage they look identical except water filter that i am not sure i should care about.
There is also a mention of “Extra cappuccino device” which i dont know what it is.
Anyone can recommend which one i should get?
Hi there Roger,
Help! We are looking to buy a new machine and are completely overwhelmed by all the options out there! We had a Delonghi Magnifica that we purchased in January 2012 and have loved and been very happy with up until the fiddly (and not so sturdy) milk frother dial broke, twice, and is now no longer fixable…. a lot of MacGyver work went in to keeping it going up to now.
While we were very happy with the machine the fact that a lot of the knobs etc. are made of plastic we are looking for a new machine that will be more sturdy and are thinking that digital is the way to go. Again, I’d like to clarify that we were extremely happy with this machine and the coffee it produced (primarily lattes) and that all the other parts of the machine are still functioning perfectly.
So, we are now stuck between the:
De’Longhi Eletta Bean to Cup Coffee Machine ECAM44.620, 1450 W
De’Longhi ECAM 45.760.W
and possibly the Delonghi ETAM29.620.SB
We can’t quite distinguish the difference between the Authentica and the Eletta and we’re hoping you might be able to help our addled brains into deciding which would be best.
We use the machine daily, usually only once in the morning and as mentione primarily for lattes.
Thanks in advance,
Caroline and her long suffering husband 😉
Wonder whether you have received a reply to your question. I have exactly the same questions.
Hi, we’ve just bought the Delonghi Magnifica ESAM 3000.B, which we are very happy with, but what is the difference between that and the Delonghi Magnifica ESAM 4000.B?
Thanks!
Hi Paul,
The ESAM 3000.b is the older model, the controls and the milk frothing wand have been upgraded on the ESAM 4000.b. Both make a good cup of coffee, as the grinder and boiler is the same.
Regards, Roger
Hello,
What coffee machine do you like the best? I just can’t decide!!!
Hi Hew,
I use the Gaggia D90 – see the review here – I think this is the best coffee machine ever made and is an absolute pleasure to use. However, I appreciate it may be a bit much for home use, I also highly recommend the Franke Flair – Review here – as a seriously good all round coffee machine.
Regards, Roger
Thanks for your help!!!
I enjoy աhat you guyts are uѕually uρ toо. This kind оf clever work andd exposure!
Қeep up tһe terrific ԝorks guys I’ve ijcluded you guys
to my blogroll.
Thumbs up for a Excellent
4200 or the 22.110.B? Not much price difference…
Actually the 22110 is over £30 cheaper but it’s the better product? Thanks.
Hi,
I would say that the 22.110.B is slightly better, it has a few more options for frothing milk and I think the control panel is easier to use.
Best Regards,
Roger
Thanks Roger. Got the 22.110 for €297!
Great great coffee!
Sounds like you got a good deal there! Don’t forget to get some quality coffee beans, I like to use Lavazza – From Amazon Here – These will make a great standard coffee and will allow you to test out your machine and get your technique right before using more expensive / speciality beans.
What’s the difference between the ESAM 4000 and the ESAM 4200?
Hi Wendell,
The ESAM 4000 is an old model that is not produced by De’Longhi anymore. The ESAM 4200 is a better machine, with a quality milk frothing arm. The ESAM 4200 is the UK’s most popular bean to cup coffee machine and is great value considering the price!
You’ve got interesting posts here. Your site can go viral, you need some great bean to cup coffee only.
I LOVE COFFEE!!!
Great! I’ve just ordered a De’Longhi ECAM. My friend had one and the espresso quality is jjust excellent, far better than the ESAM 4200 which just wasn’t hot enough for my likkng.
This is my favourtite coffee maker. I have had it for a month now and like it a lot, much better than the Krups!
