DeLonghi Eletta Explore Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Cold Brew

We love this machine. The coffee is fantastic. The machine is easy to use (although I'm still figuring out how to make a larger cappucino). We bought this to replace our original Elatta which was destroyed in a house file. The app is not useful and it is difficult to connect and when I do, I need to reconnect every time.

Espressos just aren’t as strong as my other DeLonghi. I wish I would have kept it!

The Eletta Explore is an excellent machine. I use it several times a day and have been very impressed with its performance. So far, I haven't experienced any issues with the machine itself. The only challenge I've encountered is connecting it to the app and Wi-Fi. From what I've read, this may be due to my home network using a 5 GHz connection. Fortunately, this hasn't affected my experience or the machine's functionality in any meaningful way. I've owned it for about a month, and if it continues to perform as well as it has so far, it will prove to be a great investment.

Have had the Eletta Explore about a month and love the machine and all the different coffee options. The app offers nice customization features but it is so slow to connect that it isn’t really worth using. I’d also like De’Longhi to provide full details on how the amount and/or concentration of coffee changes between the different drink strengths

I never knew how much I needed this coffee maker until I bought one. Out with the k-cups and in with an extensive array of espressos, lattes, cappuccinos and more. I was amazed how you can adjust each aspect of your drink so it’s completely personalized to your taste. The self-cleaning features make it so easy to keep up with maintenance. I’ve never looked forward to my morning coffee more.

This machine is a game-changer for our morning routine! It makes exceptional favorite beverages, is intuitive with cleaning, etc. so fresh, so easy! We absolutely recommend it for fresh ground, delightful coffee drinks full of flavor!

The Delonghi Eletta is a fabulous bean to cup coffee machine. Whether hot or cold coffee drinks it produces a great tasting cup and allows you to set cup size and strength to suit your individual taste. The process is extremely easy and the prompts to set the foam setting and even flush are great. Good foam and if you use quality beans to match the high quality of this machine you will never stop at a chain coffee shop again.

I'll be honest: I was skeptical. I've owned espresso machines before — the kind where you spend 20 minutes dialing in a shot, only to pour it down the drain in defeat. I expected the De'Longhi Eletta Explore to be a beautiful appliance that looked stunning on my counter and delivered mediocre coffee. I was completely, utterly wrong. From Box to Barista in Minutes The setup experience alone set the tone. Sleek stainless steel finish, intuitive 3.5-inch touchscreen, and a Coffee Link app that actually works — I had my first espresso pulling in under 30 minutes. Not a watered-down approximation of espresso. Real espresso — syrupy, aromatic, with a crema so perfectly formed it looked like something out of a coffee shop Instagram post. 50+ Drinks, Zero Compromise What truly separates the Eletta Explore from every machine I've ever owned is the sheer range without sacrifice. Hot cappuccino in the morning with silky, perfectly textured foam from the LatteCrema Hot system. A cold foam iced latte on a warm afternoon using LatteCrema Cool. A cold brew-style concentrate pulled in minutes — not hours. De'Longhi has somehow built a machine that takes both hot and cold coffee equally seriously, and as someone who drinks both year-round, this is a game-changer. The Bean Adapt Technology Is Witchcraft (The Good Kind) The 13-level stainless steel conical burr grinder paired with Bean Adapt Technology is where the magic happens. I rotate between three different bean origins — a bright Ethiopian natural, a chocolatey Colombian blend, and a dark Italian roast — and the machine helps me dial in brewing parameters for each. The result? Every bean shines on its own terms. This isn't a "set it and forget it" machine in a lazy way — it's "set it and forget it" because De'Longhi did the engineering so you don't have to. Built for Real Life The grounds container holds 14 pucks. The water reservoir holds 1.8 liters. The brew group is removable and user-serviceable. The milk carafes are dishwasher-safe. The machine heats up in 30 seconds. It fits a travel mug under the spout. Four user profiles mean my partner and I both get our preferred drinks without touching each other's settings. De'Longhi clearly designed this for households where coffee is a ritual, not a chore. The Bottom Line I work long hours. My mornings are non-negotiable, and my coffee has to be right. The Eletta Explore delivers — not just on the first day, but every single day since. At its price point, it's not an impulse buy, but it's the kind of purchase you make once and never regret. De'Longhi didn't just build a great espresso machine — they built one of the best home appliances I've ever owned, full stop. If there's a team at De'Longhi reading these reviews: you've earned a lifelong customer. I'd love nothing more than to share this machine with the world. You know where to find me. ☕

Great coffee machine! Easy to use and many great recipes programmed in.

Not as user friendly as I thought it would be. Difficult to customize drinks. Hard to figure out grind settings and you have to waste a lot of coffee to get it right. The travel mug doesn’t have dreary options either.

App doesn’t work and the machine is not made in Italy but Romania contrary to what is advertised.

Outstanding coffee and so many choices. Love how I can customize to my preference and mood.

This one machine replaced my Breville, Keurig, and Nespresso!! Love this machine! Lattes are my go to every morning!

We have three coffee drinkers in the family, and the machine is able to handle all of our needs, from drip coffee, to milk drinks. After about two weeks of dialing in our preferences using the app, we are extremely happy.

After getting very dependent upon hot and cold espresso drinks from Starbucks, I finally bit the bullet and bought myself the Eletta Explore. Still somewhat getting used to the magical things that can be created with it, but I am quite happy with the results! My old k-cup coffees are being replaced with fresh ground coffees and Americanos, and making a macchiato is a button press away. At this point my drinks are predominately LatteCrema hot, but I have been very happy with a cold brew and a couple of cold LatteCrema Cold frothed drinks. I would recommend making syrups yourself from the Starbuck's website as my goto Cinnamon Dolce drinks are a resounding success.

Fantastic espresso machine! I love making coffee. The machine gives great instructions and information.

Wonderful machine,, fully automatic , works better than I expected, a beautiful looking appliance and a classy addition to any kitchen. I highly recommend it

I've tried several times, it will not allow me to buy it. still waiting for you to contact me

If you ever wanted a barista at home by this machine. I am very impressed with the taste. I have never really ordered many latte style drinks at the coffee shop, but flat white is now my favorite. I just hope this machine lasts, because I don’t know what I would do without it now.

I've been using the Eletta Explore for about a month now. It is just what I was looking for. It makes a large variety of cold and hot coffees and is very easy to use and keep clean. The user interface is great and ensures you don't make any mistakes. It tells you what to do every step of the way. The coffee tastes and the machine is so easy to use, I may never go to a coffee shop again!
