A Brief Review Of The DeLonghi EC702 Espresso Machine

Having that perfect cup of coffee need not require you to step foot in the cafe. There's the DeLonghi EC702 espresso machine which may be installed in the kitchen. It has a sleek look to it, with impressive features and an affordable price tag. Now you just have to switch it on to have a refreshing cup of your favorite beverage.

You don't have to devote a lot of counter top area for it. It has a compact body measuring 11.61" (height) x 9.06" (width) x 11.02" (depth). It isn't that tall to allow easy access to the cup warmer located at the top, with guard rails to prevent untoward incidences. Plastic parts on the outside are kept to a minimum as stainless steel is the primary casing material. It will look sleek for years as it resists corrosion. Also, the appearance should not intimidate you even on the first usage.

Aside from the body, the boiler is also out of stainless steel. This choice of material is one way to ensure that the machine will be of service to you for a long time. It also helps give you great-tasting beverage as a metallic taste is prevented.

Inside the product is a water tank with a 44 oz. Water capacity. It obviously isn't the biggest one out there as some rivals in the market can accommodate even more than 100 oz. It's for this reason why the item is more suited for home installation, for personal use or when a few guests stop by. Making up for the water tank's small capacity is a quick start-up time, thanks to the priming system it has. You'll be glad for this feature, especially when you are in a rush to get to the workplace. Brewing shouldn't eat up lots of your time as it will take the machine only 25-26 seconds to carry out its job.

Despite of its size, it is very flexible in terms of what the filter holder can do. The patented design allows you to use either coffee grounds or pods. Because of this, coffee lovers who like things simplified will rejoice knowing that they can use E. S. E. (easy serving espresso) pods. But no matter which one you prefer to use, this kitchen assistant can handle it.

There's the maximum pump pressure amounting to 15 bars (actual pressure used: 8 to 9 bars). Thermostats amount to two, regulated independently from each another. Getting that perfect temperature is easy with the water and steam pressure controlled individually. To keep the item free of eyesore spots and stains, a drip-free design lends a hand.

You don't have to get lessons from the server at your trusted cafe. This product's patented and adjustable frother system lets you create latte or cappuccino flawlessly. You can easily come up with a rich and creamy drink, thanks to the wand that mixes steam and milk in the perfect manner. However, you cannot froth while the machine is still in brew mode.

Regardless of the wonderful features, the price tag of the DeLonghi EC702 espresso machine stays more affordable than most other products of the kind. There may be a few weak points around, but it's good enough for producing that beverage you like. You can have cafe quality serving each time but without leaving your pocket empty.
