Review: EASY 'Dream Expresso Machine!' - Why did we buy it? Our purchase was based on wanting to improve our morning coffee without the mess of a dirty coffee pot and often wasted coffee, using harmful plastic capsules, or committing the time and effort needed to use a manual expresso machine. What do we love about it? We love everything about it. You simply set your grind preferences, turn it on and after its ready (maybe a minute?) you hit one button and your hot amazing expresso comes out! That's it! And it's very easy to clean and maintain as well. But we don't drink Expresso? Keep in mind, we are traditional coffee drinkers, but this makes wonderful coffee by simply adding your frothed milk to the expresso, and we enjoy adding a little sweetness too. I was surprised to find I'm using less sugar now because the coffee has no bitter taste. We were not even aware our old coffee was bitter until we got this new De'Longhi, and my husband has completely stopped adding sugar all together. What kinds of beans do we use? We use Lavazza Espresso Italiano Whole Bean Coffee Blend as several reviews suggested. The coffee that comes out of this machine with these beans is simply delicious, but sure you can use any quality coffee or expresso beans of preference. We also enjoy using this same brand of expresso beans too, both are excellent. What features are helpful? This automatic machine has smart and helpful light indicators to let you know when it needs water, beans or dumping of grinds so your coffee will never again stop pouring mid-stream. It's well designed and takes us only a few minutes to maintain each week. There are controls for grind preferences and strength. They made everything super easy, which is great because to put it kindly, I'm not technically inclined. Is frothing difficult? Since we are not baristas, and both drink regular coffee with creamer, we were happy that the steam spout is powerful and needs no fancy maneuvers to pile up a quick cup of hot creamy froth. Any Negatives? There is nothing hard or difficult about this machine, with the exception of leaving home, as it will be very 'hard' to pay for a pricey cup of Starbucks as you will find it 'difficult' to go without your wonderful morning coffee! How long do we expect this machine to last? Lastly, we researched different manufactures and discovered Delongi has been around over 200 years and they have shops all over the US that will help maintain your machine to last a lifetime. My sister has same Magnifico De'Longhi machine but a manual model she bought over 20 years ago and it's still going strong! Doubting new automatic machines will last as long as the manual ones (which I think with proper care will last a lifetime) but for the convenience of automation we will be happy to replace it after a decade or so. Imagine by then they will have "touchless" where you just talk to it and tell it what you want, and it will automatically put your cup under the spout and pour it out for you. Then in the not-too-distant future, a robot will bring it to you! (How lazy can we get?) Do I think it's worth the price? We purchased this machine used 'LIKE NEW', which we guessed was an unused return, and we saved half the retail price! When it came, you could tell it was Brand new/ never used, and it worked perfectly! If you'd like to save a small fortune like we did, I suggest you wait for Black Friday or search now for a similar 'like new' return. We knew desertcart would take it back if there were any issue in 30 days at no cost to us as prime members, so it was a 'low risk' for an inconvenience, to save over $600. Would I pay full price for it? Not if I could save a bundle like I did, but if I couldn't and if I could afford it retail, yes, in a heartbeat. Review: Don’t get discouraged ! EDIT: 1/2024, EDIT 6/2025 - This is becoming a nice machine, but i had a very frustrating start with it. First I’d like to say, the difference in taste between good espresso machines and cheap ones is tremendous. I learned that when I bought my other delonghi, which was a manual one. It worked great, but obviously much less expensive and restricted to ground espresso only, I yearned for one with a grinder for each pour. I finally decided on this one. I will add though, that this machine is a MONSTER! It is nice, but much bigger than I expected it to be. It’s easy to learn your way around it. PROS: This machine is SO EASY to clean, use, and take care of! I love that about it. The front opens up and you pull out a little bin to empty every so many pours. It auto ejects the used grinds into this bin. The main device (idk what it’s called) also has little buttons u can push and pull the whole piece out to clean, and just pop it right back in. The convenience is amazing. Not only does it do whole beans(which is ideal) it can also use pre ground. The grinder works great. You can adjust it however, but only move the dial while the grinder is running. It heats up super quick and only requires the press of two buttons to brew. The cup warmer on top also works well, it’s does get pretty hot, but not enough to burn you. Borderline though lol It’s brews a great espresso. I personally use ILLY INTENSO which is the only brand I’ll buy, fabulous. I can taste the difference between my 200$ machine and this one. Definitely better. CONS: I have one gripe with this machine. I tried out different dial settings for the quantity of liquid and coffee. I found for me the notch right before halfway brews the ideal amount. However, the dial that adjusts how much coffee(potency) is used for the pour is lacking. I started off around halfway, and went up a couple notches each time. Ultimately I had to set it to max. EDIT: 1/1/2024 I have had this machine for a full year and a half now, I purchased July 2022, and I have used this machine every single day since I’ve purchased it. Typically it gets used 1-4 times a day, with the average daily use being 2-3 times. This machine to this day still works excellent, better than ever even. Once you find the ideal settings for how you like it, it works great. I haven’t changed the settings in a year. I have not had one issues with this machine, knock wood, but I have also descaled it on a routine basis whenever the light would appear. If you are diligent with the maintenance and cleanliness of this machine it will last. This has been such a quality purchase for me. I have to strongly recommend this machine unless you are looking for a more advanced one with a higher price tag. EDIT 6/23/2025: This machine is still going strong. Still functions just as well as it did brand new out of the box. It gets used every single day, usually several times a day. I’ve had it for about 3 years now with daily use. It’s been a fantastic machine. Honestly I’ve low-key been waiting for it to stop working so I have an excuse to buy a new one 🤣 this was wel worth the investment. If you take care of it, clean it regularly (i wipe it down after every use and clean it more thoroughly everytime the tray gets full of coffee grinds). I also descale it everytime the light comes on which is probably about once a month. Don’t neglect descaling. It will ruin your machine. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Will update again next year ! ## Features - Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted - FRESH ESPRESSO FOR EVERY CUP: The professional burr grinder with 13 adjustable settings grinds fresh beans every time to ensure maximum freshness. You can also use pre-ground in the second chamber. Your choice of regular, specialty or decaf. - YOUR FOAM, YOUR WAY: A manual frother mixes steam and milk to create a rich, creamy froth for evenly textured drinks – just the way you like them. - CONSISTENT BREWING EVERY TIME: Each cup is automatically brewed to the perfect temperature, richness and density. And you can customize the settings to ensure its always just the way you like it. - EASY TO CLEAN AND HANDLE: The compact, extractable brew unit is not only easy to clean, it self-adjusts for one or two shots of espresso. - DELICIOUS CAPPUCCINO AND LATTE: The adjustable manual Cappuccino System mixes steam and milk to create the thickest, longest-lasting foam for your cappuccino. And it’s easy to adjust the levels to prepare a creamy latte, macchiato or flat white. - CUSTOMIZED ESPRESSO DRINKS: Design your ideal espresso and cappuccino experience by programming in your preferences. The machine “remembers” the details, from the strength of your espresso to your preferred size beverage and much more. - EASY-TO-USE CONTROL PANEL: Simply adjust the menu settings for temperature, coffee strength and cup size according to your preferences. The machine takes care of the rest. - COMPACT DESIGN: Each model has the features of a full-size automatic machine but in a streamlined, compact design that fits beautifully on your kitchen countertop. - NO WAITING BETWEEN CUPS: The Rapid Cappuccino System maintains the optimal temperature so you can brew cup after cup instantly..FRONT-ACCESSIBLE COMPONENTS: Removable water tank and drip tray, as well as used espresso grounds, are front-accessible for easy cleanup. Indicators tell you when it’s time to clean the machine, and all parts are dishwasher safe. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000N2YKQ0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #850,210 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #86 in Super-Automatic Espresso Machines | | Brand | De'Longhi | | Brand Name | De'Longhi | | Capacity | 1.8 Liters | | Coffee Input Type | ground, whole bean | | Coffee Maker Type | Espresso Machine | | Color | Silver | | Customer Package Type | Frustration-Free Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 4,117 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Silver | | Filter Type | Reusable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00044387233002, 00044387233019, 10044387233009 | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Included Components | Automatic Espresso Machine | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 11"D x 15.3"W x 14.4"H | | Item Type Name | Super Automatic Espresso Machine | | Item Weight | 23.12 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Delonghi | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | ESAM3300 | | Model Number | ESAM3300 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Fully Automatic | | Other Special Features of the Product | Auto Clean Function, Integrated Coffee Grinder, Milk Frother | | Part Number | ESAM3300 | | Product Dimensions | 11"D x 15.3"W x 14.4"H | | Special Feature | Auto Clean Function, Integrated Coffee Grinder , Milk Frother | | Specific Uses For Product | Coffee maker | | Style | Magnifica | | UPC | 767578505008 044387233002 061791861171 044387233019 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Description | 2 Years + 1 extra year with Product Registration | | Wattage | 1350 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** De'Longhi - **Capacity:** 1.8 Liters - **Color:** Silver - **Product Dimensions:** 11"D x 15.3"W x 14.4"H - **Special Feature:** Auto Clean Function, Integrated Coffee Grinder, Milk Frother ## Images ![De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fis7dVn8L.jpg) ![De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UmaqAp8eL.jpg) ![De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pEEi55aKL.jpg) ![De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WRwaLVEFL.jpg) ![De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814nArTAoML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you make the water hotter. My coffee is hot.but not real hot. If you add cream it then becomes warm.Is there a button?** A: I originally bought a Delonghi Espresso maker, and send it back for another model - the Perfecta, which works fine. (Sorry I don't remember the original model). However, it did not make the water hot enough. The brewer should work at 190 - 205 degrees F. If the coffee is lower in temperature it will not extract the flavor compounds, and it will be cool compared to your regular coffee. The Answer is - Send it back if the measured temperature in the cup is too low, e.g. below 185 F. There is no temperature adjustment. **Q: Does it tamp automatically?** A: Yes. Grind, tamp and extract all happen with the push of a button. Whole beans go in the top, little biscuits of compressed, spent grounds are emptied from the bottom. The espresso produced is VERY consistent in volume, strength and flavor - suggesting very consistent preparation by the machine. **Q: can this machine make americana's?** A: Yes, the machine comes with a guide to making just about any espresso based drink you can think of. Very consistent quality!!! Very simple!!! All our friends have been amazed at their drinks prepared at home for a fraction of the cost of a coffee shop! **Q: Can you change the wand for the frother to a metal one?** A: You can find replacement parts for this machine at: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/delonghi-esam3300-magnifica-parts-c-122345_122351_122764.html I do not see a metal frother lower tube and lower tube cover, only plastic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EASY 'Dream Expresso Machine!' *by M***G on January 24, 2024* Why did we buy it?

Will update again next year ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Espresso Machine *by S***E on January 18, 2020* I have had two of these espresso machines. The first lasted over nine years. This is an Italian-designed, manufactured in China, super-automatic espresso machine. When it comes to espresso machines, “super-automatic” means that at one push of a button, it grinds whole beans, tamps the grind, and sends pressurized near-boiling water through the grind to make the espresso coffee. Dimensions – “Will it fit on my kitchen counter?” Unfortunately, there’s some contradictory dimension info in this listing. Product Description states “17 by 13 by 18 inches.” The listing’s Comparison section and Product Information section both state 15.3 x 11 x 14.4 inches. None of these matches my own careful measurements of my two machines: Width 11” (27.94 cm) Depth 14.75” (37.47 cm). This is from the center of the bow-front drip tray to the rear of the machine. For spacing, recommend adding 1-2 inches (2.54 cm – 5.08 cm) to give space for the power cord, which protrudes from the right-rear part of the machine. Height 14” (35.56 cm). Here are some additional things to think about on height spacing: Opening Bean Reservoir Lid (left-top of machine). You need another 4.25 to 4.5 inches (10.795 cm to 11.43 cm) of height clearance beneath your cabinets if you want to be able to fully open the bean compartment lid without rotating/moving the machine. I don’t have such additional clearance above my machine, but it’s not been a big deal for me to pull it out and rotate when adding beans. BTW, the bean reservoir lid will not stay up without holding it up. Using the Cup Warmer. On the right-top side, there’s a heated chromed rectangle for a couple of espresso cups, so if you want to make use of that you will need about 4 additional inches of height clearance. Using the Ground Coffee Chute. The top has a narrow door in the middle that you can use to put in already-ground coffee. The lid only sticks up a couple of inches when open, but you will want at least 4 inches of additional space to use it. Otherwise just pull the machine out/rotate from under the counter when you want to use this feature. I tend to just use whole beans so I hardly ever use it. I suppose if you had a friend or family member that wanted to put flavored coffee (ick 😊) in the machine they could use this. What’s in the box? Well, there’s a coffee machine. 😊 And a one-use bottle of cleaning solution. My previous machine had an instruction DVD in the box, but the latest one did not. Construction Body of machine and drip tray are silver-grey plastic. The slotted cover on the drip tray is polished stainless steel. The polished metal scratches easily from the bottoms of ceramic/porcelain cups and over time can show signs of wear. Wish they had an optional non-scratchable titanium tray (for only an additional $400 😊). Noise It’s loud when grinding the beans, making the coffee, and when using the steam wand to froth milk. No stealth cups of coffee here – everyone in the house is going to know you are making a cup and come around asking for some! But this is normal for this type of machine IMO. Water Best to use bottled water (unless you are fortunate to have good soft water). I used tap water with my first machine and mineral scale caused problems. I did descale each time the indicator light machine told me to. For my new machine, I buy a few $0.99/gallon jugs of drinking water at the grocery each week and that works well. Water Reservoir You can’t hook the machine to a water line or incorporate a filter unless you are into serious coffee machine modding. The one-liter water container is on the right side of the machine and pulls out from the front. The container is smoky-transparent only on the side. If your machine will be situated against a wall on the right side, you will not be able to view the water level without pulling the reservoir out (unless you are completely out of water, in which case there will be an indicator light, and most tellingly, your coffee cup will be dry 😊). Unfortunately, because the machine will not show a water-level alert until completely out, it is possible to push the two-cup button and end up with half a cup of (very strong) coffee. Coffee Bean Reservoir There is a lid on the top left of the machine that you open to add whole coffee beans. It is not airtight. I tend to put in a smaller amount of beans from a separate airtight container rather than fill the bean reservoir to the max and have the beans exposed to air for a long time. If you are a heavy user maybe this strategy is not for you, as you would go through beans quickly enough for it not to matter. There is an adjust knob for the coffee grain size inside the bean reservoir. Best not to touch this if you don’t have to; it’s been set by the manufacturer. If you need to adjust, please refer to manufacturer’s guidance. You can’t easily get beans out of the machine once you have put them in. If you want caffeinated espresso coffee in the morning and decaf in the evening, you could perhaps grind some decaf beans and put a scoop in the ground-coffee-compartment in the top. If you want a half-caf espresso, the only ways are to blend the beans to be 50-50, or to separately make a “bean” espresso and a ground coffee espresso and then mix them. “Does it make normal Coffee?” It’s espresso and IMO that’s normal coffee, dontcha know. 😊 This makes espresso-style coffee, meaning that it uses steam that passes through finely ground and packed (tamped) coffee beans. It makes one or two cups at a time (not randomly – you can choose!). Some have inquired whether this makes “regular” or “normal” coffee; presumably asking about brewed or drip coffee. Drip coffee uses hot water (less hot than espresso) that drips through a coarser grind of coffee bean than espresso. Making Coffee A push of the one-cup button gets you a 6-ounce (about 180 ml) cup of coffee. For more coffee, you have two choices. Push the two-cup button, or push the single-cup button and then quickly right after the machine stops, push-and-hold the single-cup button. The machine will continue to make coffee until you let go. There are two knobs you need to know about. The “beverage size” dial on the far left varies the amount of water that goes through the grounds. If you want a traditional small, strong shot of espresso, put the dial at about the nine o’clock position (thinking of analog clocks here). Less water through the same amount of coffee makes for an intensely flavored shot. The other knob is the “beverage strength” dial, which determines how much bean it will grind for the shot. Honestly, I just turn mine all the way up and leave it there. Can you make two shots at a time? Sure. I almost never do this because I am greedy and want all the coffee. 😊 But if you are the sharing type, there are two nozzles. Just position a cup under each. The nozzles can be raised or lowered a couple of inches to accommodate different cups. Note that coffee always comes out of both nozzles even if you select a single cup. You may want to experiment with the one or two-cup buttons as well as the “volume” knob to get the size and strength of coffee desired. Can it make a Caffe Americano? Yes. A caffe americano is one or two shots of espresso diluted with hot water to make it like the size and taste of a brewed cup of coffee. There are a couple of ways to go at this. One is to use the steam attachment (and hit the hot water button) to fill the cup 3/4 full of hot water, then set the beverage size dial pointer to about the 11 o’clock position to make a shot of espresso directly into the cup. Adjust beverage size pointer up or down according to desired strength. You could also try simply turning the size and strength dials to maximum, and push the single cup button – but hang around while it is working because when it just gets to the end of making a cup, quickly push and hold the single-cup button. The machine will continue to run hot water through the ground-coffee-puck, making a larger cup of more dilute espresso coffee. Can it make a Caffe Crema? Oh yes. For most people when they refer to a caffe crema or crema espresso, they are talking about a really long shot of espresso. Crema is that flavorful tan froth that sits on top of a freshly -made cup of espresso. The amount of crema will vary depending on your choice of beans. Type of Beans I’ve used many types of beans in this machine over the years. You don’t need beans labelled “Espresso Beans” to make espresso! Remember, espresso is about the way you make the coffee, not about the type of beans. I really like medium-roast beans from Guatemala, as they have good balance. But this is a place where individual tastes vary. OK. On the oily-bean question. I have used oily and non-oily beans and have had no issues with the machine. Others indicate that oily beans have caused them problems, presumably with gumming up the grinder. Built-in Frothing Wand for Making Cappuccinos, etc. The frothing wand swings out to the right of the machine. As with the comment on viewing the level in the water reservoir, if you intend to put the machine flush against something on the right side, you are going to have issues using the frothing wand. Where does the milk go? Is there a reservoir for milk? Use a flat-bottom container; there is no reservoir for milk. I use a Pyrex glass measuring cup but you can buy frothing pitchers made for this purpose. BTW, use cold cow’s milk (cold milk – the cow is hopefully at a comfortable temperature). For some reason best milk to use is 2%, not whole milk, but it all works. Does it come with a frothing container? No, but I use a glass measuring cup and it works fine. How does it make the frothed milk? When you swing the wand out and turn the lever, steam comes out of the wand. However, I have observed that the first 10-15 seconds there is just water coming out, until it builds up enough temperature to be solid steam. So, it’s better if you wait and pour that initial water off and not let it run into your milk; when it turns to steam, stick the wand into your cold milk and froth away. I’ve not yet been able to make the cool designs in the cups that I see on TV, but by accident one time mine looked just like Kramer on Seinfeld. Can it make hot water for tea? Yes, but it is not optimal. It comes out as mostly steam from the frothing wand. Extend the frothing wand, put a cup underneath and turn the dial on the far right until steam/hot water hisses out. Some Maintenance is Advisable There are things that you must do to keep things working tip-top. It requires more maintenance than a drip coffee machine. Coffee pucks. Each time you make a cup, the machine will push the used coffee grounds “puck” into an internal reservoir on the left side of the machine. When the container fills up, a light comes on and you can’t make more coffee until you dump them out. A word of caution here – the machine “counts” the number of pucks from the last time that you opened the front door of the machine. It assumes that when the door is opened, that the grounds are emptied and resets the count. So, don’t open the door without emptying the puck-reservoir. Otherwise, it will overflow and cause grounds to spill out into the floor of the machine. Cleaning the Infuser. You should periodically clean the infuser (this is what pushes the steam through the puck of ground coffee). I do mine every Sunday. Don’t try this with the machine powered on – it simply won’t work because the infuser moves to a place where it cannot be removed. With the machine powered off, open the front door and pull the drip tray out. Remember to always empty the pucks and water from the drip tray anytime you open the door. To clean the infuser, look for the red buttons in the middle. Using your thumb and forefinger, squeeze the buttons and pull. The infuser should come out in your hand. It will probably have coffee grounds and other shmuckus on it. Just rinse it off and use a paper towel to clean and dry it off. This is good opportunity to clean out any other coffee grinds that might have accumulated in the bottom of the machine. Then push the infuser back into place. The red buttons will click when it is fully seated. I believe you can find a video on the internet on cleaning the infuser. Descaling. The minerals in your water will build up over time and can cause issues if not removed. The machine will indicate with a blinking light that it must be descaled. This light comes on after a manufacturer-determined number of cycles. I recommend using bottled water if you have hard water. I used hard water on my first machine and while it lasted nine years, I battled mineral scale. Please use the descaling sequence described in the owner’s manual. The machine comes with a one-use bottle of descaling solution. I find it more economical to buy the four-use bottles of EcoDecalk on Amazon, which are currently about $15 per bottle. Not Really Intended for Business Use This is intended for residential use, so it is not built for the kind of duty cycle that commercial machines undergo. As far as I know, the machine does not have a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) rating. Commercial espresso machines are typically in the thousands of dollars. Programmable to turn on in the morning? Not an option. But it makes your coffee on demand, so it is nice and fresh. ## Frequently Bought Together - De'Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine, Silver - De'Longhi EcoDecalk Descaler DLSC500, 5 Decalcification Doses, Coffee Machine Descaler, Coffee Machine Maintenance Accessory, Plant-Based Ingredients, Bottle with 5 Doses, 500ml - De'Longhi Coffee Care Kit DLSC306, Maintenance Set for Coffee Makers with Water Filter, EcoDecalk Descaler, Eco MultiClean, Microfibre Cloth, Water Hardness Test, Coffee Machine Maintenance Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1375691-delonghi-esam3300-magnifica-super-automatic-espresso-and-coffee-machine-silver](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1375691-delonghi-esam3300-magnifica-super-automatic-espresso-and-coffee-machine-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
