How Does The De’Longhi ECAM22110SB Perform and Carry Out Bean to Machine Functions?

The De’Longhi ECAM22110SB coffee machine with a bean grinder amazingly grinds to 13 different settings – aficionado status granted. This writer prefers more of a course grind. However this machine can be used with either coffee beans or ground coffee.

Another excellent feature of the grinder is that’s it’s pretty quiet meaning you can enjoy a cappuccino or latte the way you like it with out waking the family first thing in the morning. However, product descriptions that state the grinder is silent are false so don’t turn it on in your bedroom while your partner’s a sleep (not that you will).

The 47-ounce reservoir is slides in and out from the side like a narrow fish tank, with front access which is a good touch as you wont be always maneuvering the machine again and again to fill up the water. When it’s almost time to pour a long-lasting aroma wafts over the kitchen with the rich scent of coffee.

A clever ‘eco’ setting can be set so that after a period of non-use, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1, 2 or 3 hours, the machine switches off automatically, which saves on electricity and prevents the De’longhi from being a safety hazard.
