About this deal

If you have fairly limited space to work with, the De’Longhi Autentica Plus is a bit of a star. However, if you have plenty of the stuff, there are some cheaper models in the Philips Saeco range to consider. Verdict The De’Longhi Autentica Plus doesn’t offer a thousand presets, instead offering essentially an espresso and ‘long’ coffee, which can then be tweaked in terms of strength and size. And temperature if you dive into the machine’s system properly. This is only necessary if you’re going to add cold milk to your coffee, though. There’s also a custom My Coffee preset.

The specification of this machine compares to many other bean to cup coffee machines at twice the price which is why it gets top marks. This is phenomenal value for money for what you get. Delonghi have labelled theECAM44.660.B as a cappuccino maker, so let's start with this function. The machine is able to produce frothy milk automatically using the supplied carafe. When finished, you can simply detach it and put it in the fridge for next time. Coffee too strong or too weak? Not any more. You have 5 different levels of coffee strength to choose from ranging from extra mild through to extra strong.

Preparable recipes

At 34cm tall , 48cm deep and just 19.5cm wide this is the narrowest bean to cup coffee machine on the market so if space is a premium in your kitchen and you dont want your coffee machine to dominate your work space then this is a great choice as you wont find anything close to this quality with this small a footprint. Functionality 10/10 Unlike other bean-to-cup coffee machines, there are no physical buttons. Settings are accessed via the colour touchscreen (or the app). This makes the front panel look a lot cleaner and less cluttered, although we think some people might miss physical buttons.

You’ll have to wait for it to power up after extracting an espresso, and it only moves from side to side, but if it’s lattes or flat whites you like to start your day with, it will definitely please. Some of their coffee machines definitely represent much better value than others. They all come with a 15 bar pump and will extract the coffee into your cup the same way regardless of which machine you buy.

Specifications

Some coffee machines can be controlled via an app on your phone. You will need to make sure you're prepared, though, by having enough beans in the container, water in the tank and a mug ready under the spout. If it’s all set, you’ll be able to make a coffee without having to get out of bed – a dreamy way to wake up!

You’ll easily get 5/6 coffees (depending on drink type of course) before having to add more water Ease of use 10/10 The most popular drinks are accessible on the front control panel so you will literally get a cappuccino delivered to your cup with a one finger press of one button.

De'Longhi Autentica ETAM 29.660.SB reviews

Make deliciously smooth and fresh barista-quality coffee whenever you want with the stylish Autentica Bean to Cup Coffee Machine from De'Longhi. This model comes with 13 adjustable settings allowing for a specifically tailored cup to your taste and with the removable brewing unit it's so easy to keep clean, so you won’t be put off making your favourite coffee. Coffee machine with a milk container: pour the mixture into the milk container and activate the hot steam/milk function. Repeat the procedure using clean water. If you're looking for one of the best bean-to-cup machines and can afford high price tag, the PrimaDonna Soul is an excellent option. For automatic espresso and cappuccino making at a more reasonable price, however, then you might want to look at the Eletta ECAM44.660.b. Overview of Features

Take off coffee filter holder and with the mixture carefully wash the holder and its spouts as well as coffee filters. When you have a coffee machine at this pricepoint that allows you to change the water temperature, choose the amount of water delivered automatically and also choose the amount of coffee that gets ground you know that you are on to a winner . You can pay an awful lot more for these features with other coffee machines. This falls within the category of a fully automatic bean to cup coffee machine because it includes a milk carafe that will automatically dispense milk into your glass for milk-based drinks such as cappuccino or latte The De’Longhi Autentica Plus is a mid-range bean-to-cup machine. It offers plenty of features and lots of customisation without getting all of the high-end innards we saw recently in machines like the Sage by Heston Oracle: things like a dual-boiler system.This is a fully automatic bean to cup coffee machine that sits in the middle of Delonghi’s range from a specification perspective and above the entry level Magnifica range. Due to the separate milk preparation system, the coffee machine is always ready to make perfect milk foam. The switch on the integrated milk container allows you to select the desired milk consistency. The Clean function ensures cleanliness of the milk system. When the milk container is not in use, you can store it conveniently in the fridge. All parts are dishwasher-safe.
