- This is my review of the Delonghi Esam3300 - I think it’s a Great Entry Into Super Automatic Machines or someone looking to get a much better experience then something like a pod machine like a Keurig or an espresso machine. I left out a couple things. Don’t use oily beans and the red light that was going off is the descaling light. If you have any questions about this machine I will answer very quickly in the comments below. My next review will be the barista express.

Joe, I’ve got this machine, and I love it. Just checking out some of your videos, and I can tell you are passionate about espresso and coffee. I love that. Keep it up.
Thanks Brian always appreciate the kind comments.
Thanks for the good review. I owned a similar model for 10-12 years. Had it repaired once or twice but used it numerous times over that period. For the price, absolutely no complaints. Makes a good quality coffee.
Yeah they make a couple similar products and gaggia makes something called the brera which is almost identical. I moved on to a semi automatic which is much more of a pain but the end product is just a bit better
The infuser can’t be removed while the machine is on - that’s why it wouldn’t come out. 😀
You are correct. Figured that one out after lol
Hey Joe. Curious as to the quality of the espresso from this versus a comparable Jura such as the ENA 4. Thanks.
I think the delonghi is better I use to own the ena and it didn’t give you enough control over grind size
Today Would you buy this model again, or would you rather buy philips 4300?
I honestly haven’t liked any of the Philips I have had they are ok but the espresso quality just doesn’t match the delonghi in my experience I have used older Philips and the newer 2200 and 3300 and haven’t been impressed. If you want something that does auto frothing go with the higher end delonghi or the terra kaffee (bang for buck)
You can pull the brew unit out but the machine must be turned off first.
Yeah I realized that as I was recording lol it is a great feature to be able to clean the brew unit
Great review, looking for a automatic at this price range. Does it have a hot water dispenser? I want to make americanos . Also, what other machine would you suggest at this price range?
Well I use to recommend the terra kaffe but after some issues with them I’m not sure I would recommend them. Iv heard good things about the gaggia brera but I have never personally used one. The delonghi does have hot water that comes out through the steam wand
Joe, with the Jura's you have tried how does the Delonghi compare? I like a stronger espresso from this type of machine and have heard the Juras are not as strong.
I think the delonghi is better I use to own the ena and it didn’t give you enough control over grind size. If you want the strongest shots of espresso though you may want to consider as semi automatic
Just got one of thee machines, Joe. What are the dial settings for water / coffee you tend to use? I have mine dialed in for a single shot, but I've heard all the double button does is double the water. Since my coffee setting is about 3/4 of the way up, it feels like I'd get too much water instead of a real double-shot.
Yeah I keep the ground coffee amount cranked all the way up. The water volume I typically keep half way up and just manually stop brewing at around 2oz. The best way to get a dial in on a super automatic is to just use time and volume since you can’t really weigh anything. So shoot for 2oz out in about 20 to 27 seconds at first drip. Honestly it’s hard to over extract in this machine generally speaking since it uses a pressurized filter basket. Generally my grind size is at 2 or 3
I appreciate the reply. I landed on 2.5 for the grind setting with my current settings. Sounds like I should play around a bit more. Started with Lavazza Super Crema (got a great deal), but any other coffees you recommend for this machine?
@@RobStevens64 this is my current list of best coffee beans. They are all pretty good the only one I wouldn’t go crazy for is Starbucks blonde roast it’s hit or miss. Super crema is actually very good in terms of coffee quality
@@RobStevens64 sorry idk why the link didn’t post the first time. This is my list of best coffees I have reviewed ruclips.net/p/PLFEof3mRkb8xWgwUtn5NQ7wXKfgByAqjB
Hi my friend. Thanks for your great introduction.
As you know we can use the machin grinder to powser the coffee beans. Also we can use coffee powder sepratedly.
I have the same machine but i dont know how to make coffee with the cofee powder.
Please help me
Ohhhh yeah there is a flap that opens in the middle where you can put pre ground coffee in
You seem to be italian originally😍
@@jamshid1512 I am
@@JoeyVaracalli oh man what a simple answer😂😂 i seem to be blind. How possible not to open the flap during 2 years😂😂😂
@@JoeyVaracalli great pleassure replying me JOE. Thanks a lot❤️🙏🏻
I found one of these on Craigslist for $200 with an included extra infuser. I also found a gaggia brera for $290, but it's only a year old. I really like strong coffee and espresso. Unfortunately, I can't afford a true manual espresso set. If you just wanted a machine to make strong Americano style drinks, and a machine that not hard or expensive to maintain, would you choose the older magnifica 3300 for $200 or the year old gaggia brera for $290?
I’d go with the delonghi I still think this machine is the best super automatic in terms of strong espresso
@@JoeyVaracalli thanks..unfortunately, it sold
whats the grinder setting? ihave it at 2 or between 2 and 1,from 3 and above i think its very coarse and the coffee comes watery
Yeah we go between 2 and 1.5 some times corser like 2.5 if we are just making coffees
Do these machines use a pressurized system to create espresso cream or is it a different system? Thank u mate
I have the same machine now 9 years and today she died and now I have dilema LOL, because I really don't know what machine should I buy.
Ohhh my god let me help you out. You can always buy the same machine I still think it’s very good. Are you still wanting a super automatic?
The machine has to be off in order to take that out.
I have a dark roast coffee that I absolutely love, but it is oily. Does this Delonghi have a bypass for pre-ground coffee? I'm just now starting to research coffee makers (we've had a Philips Saeco Italia for about 15 years that finally bit the dust), and it seems like a lot of people say don't use oily beans. Is that true for every coffee maker out there or do I need to go to a semi-automatic? Like I said, I'm new to this. Maybe the oily beans is what finally made the Italia die?
Semi automatic would be better since you could get a grinder that can handle oily beans. But the delonghi does have a by pass
What is that blinking red light?
You’re streaming your milk wrong, supposed to do it so you are barely touching the milk as they at Starbucks
This is a panarello it’s a different system. It doesn’t matter how deep you put it in. You can try to manually froth with this but it’s more of a pain then it’s worth because of the angle
Would you still recommend the Stumptown Holler MTN for this unit?
Yeah stumptown hlr mountain is great as espresso
@@JoeyVaracalli should have bought the maker last year, this thing appreciated lol.
@@Alex-ss4bk hahahahahahahahahahahah yeah espresso machines are in quite high demand right now
@@JoeyVaracalli what is your setting on this machine with Stumptown so that the taste isn't sour? I have tried adjusting the settings and still can't get the sour taste out. I set the grind to 1 and both knobs in the middle to mask the sourness. If I turn the knob to a 3 the sour taste intensifies. Wanted to see what you are doing.
@@Alex-ss4bk how old our your beans check the roast date make sure it’s atleast 7 days out and may need ten days from roast date. Next I keep the coffee grounds amount to the max and try and go as fine as possible. This will maximize extraction and lower the chances of underextracting (sour) next run the shot alittle longer from the point of first drip shoot for maybe 25 to 35 seconds. Let me know if that helps!!!!
does the water tank support or come with a filter?
It doesn't come with a filter. I put filtered water into the reservoir for better taste and so that I have to descale the machine less frequently (only 1x/yr for the water I've been using).
also the temperature is at 4 red lights on ?
Sorry it’s been awhile since I watched this video. Can you elaborate a bit more or tell me when in the video this is referring to
@@JoeyVaracalli at the manual i read when the machine is on behind there is a button on position I. then on front if you press and hold the one cup button on the buttom you see red lights. thisis the temperature of hot water in scale from 1 red light to 4 red lights. in which you have set your machine?? check the manual if you wish
