Design
The ECAM45760B is a fully digital, automatic espresso machine; making it perfect for those with busy schedules or those who simply prefer a hassle-free coffee. How the ECAM45760B looks really reflects the fact that it is a top-quality coffee machine; with its impressive chrome finish and digital back-lit display. It also comes in a range of other finishes for example in black or white, so that you can match it perfectly to your kitchen. It is important to note that, although not particularly wide, the De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B is deep and tall, so make sure you have space for it on your kitchen counter-top. Its size is far from frustrating however, as this is a coffee machine you’ll want to show off.
The LCD back-lit display adds an impressive, contemporary touch as well as really contributing towards usability. The controls on the De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B are metal and one-touch sensitive which is also a pretty cool feature. De’Longhi have even designed this stylish coffee machine with a tilted front, which is typical of high-end models, and it has a support tray large enough to support two cups at once, giving it a professional touch. The support tray also doubles up as a warming tray, to really give that extra level of quality to your drink. All in all, the ECAM45760B has a very attractive appearance.
Coffee Customisation
The De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B‘s customization settings are where you really start to see some bang for your buck. Not only does it have a commercial standard 15-bar pump pressure for optimum extraction, but the ECAM45760B also has a huge range of programmable preferences. The basic options you come to expect from any great-value coffee machines are all included, for example two different cup size options. However, it doesn’t stop there. You can programme the temperature, strength, milk consistency, milk-to-coffee ratio, water hardness and even grind consistency with the ECAM45760B! And don’t worry, these features are not difficult to use.
It’s rare to find a coffee machine that lets you control the consistency of your milk, but the ECAM45760B does this using a small dial near the milk tank. This function has been coined the LatteCrema System by De’Longhi, and produces perfect layers of thick, rich froth; enabling you to make a great range of different beverages, from lattes to macchiatos. It is also rare to be able to control the grind. In fact, the ECAM45760B has 13 different grind settings, so you can really match it to your taste, or even discover your preference for the first time. De’Longhi have also included a coffee bean grinder which gives you the ultimate fresh coffee taste, but there is also a second section where you can simply use ground coffee if you prefer. They really have thought of everything.
The De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B maintains a consistently perfect temperature during its brewing process even using separate heating elements for the coffee and milk so that you get the best tasting drink possible. You don’t even have to wait for the machine to reheat between brews, which is great for those morning rushes, and shows how De’Longhi have pulled out all the stops to create a top-performing coffee machine.
Ease of Use
The outstanding nature of the De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B doesn’t stop there. De’Longhi have included plenty of features to make sure cleaning and maintaining this great-value coffee machine is as easy as it can be. The brew unit itself is extractable, making it really easy to clean, as is the milk tank. The fact that the milk tank is removable is also a great feature because it means you can put it in the fridge, so the milk lasts much longer between brews. The milk tank has a decent 0.6L capacity, and the water tank is a very impressive 1.8L. This means you spend much less time running back and forth to top it up.
The speed of the brew cycle is actually fairly average when compared to its competitors, which is a shame, but this coffee machine can be programmed to switch itself on and off which is a pretty good environmental feature. That way, you don’t have to worry about the impact you’re having on the planet by treating yourself to top quality coffee. The De’Longhi Eletta ECAM45760B also has automatic cleaning and de-scaling cycles, which are really impressive features, and incredibly useful. They will save you a lot of time compared to using other coffee machines which require constant manual maintenance.
Lastly, De’Longhi have made sure the controls on the ECAM45760B are stylish yet very easy to understand, with clear labeling and instructions. They are also kept to a minimum which is impressive considering that this is one of the most versatile coffee machines on the market. If you ever have any problems with the installation or operation of this top-quality coffee machine, have no fear as De’Longhi provide a customer support service free of charge. It doesn’t get much better than that.
