Excellent presentation. After three exhausting days reviewing multiple brands of machines, thanks to you, I believe this one will meet my (high) expectations. TUVM
Great video and really useful. I've just had to retire my previous Delonghi automatic bean to cup and was looking to get the ECAM370.95.T as a modern direct replacement so my wife can still use it. But then I saw this one which had the best of both worlds in terms of manual milk for the latte art and the automatic milk. I'm still to make the final decision as this has given me food for throught 😊
This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
Hi Julie, Thanks for your comments. At time 3:18 you will see the tamping lever being pulled down, it ensures the right amount of pressure is applied. Have a great night! Stay caffeinated! Cheers.
This is only to make sure the coffee grounds are evenly distributed and the puck comes out looking clean and polished on the top. It will NOT affect your machine in any shape or form. Hope this helps.
I have this machine, its taken me a while to understand and dial in settings to reach the optimal zone on the gauge. Ive found that when you change a grind setting you need to grind it again for it to show the change in your results. I cant stress enough though DO NOT BUY YOUR BEANS FROM A SUPERMARKET. Find a wholesaler and buy fresh beans, you will ABSOLUTELY see better results.
Very interested in this machine but hoping you could help me with some questions. Does this machine have a programable on switch so that it can turned on automatically every day before I wake up? How hot can it produce an espresso shot? How many years does the warranty cover? What size is the portafilter? Thank you for the great content!
Hi Chloe, No there is no auto on option. The unit does heat up very quickly indeed! Within minutes, so you will be good to go in no time. Link to DeLonghi Manual Machines - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/semi-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_delonghi? Ciao!
The machine has a warm up time of less than 5 seconds. However, you are recommended to turn on the machine, grind your coffee, tamp it, and so on and so forth, basically leaving it for a minute to heat up properly. You are also recommended to run a rinse program to make sure everything is heated up properly before brewing your shot. This machine has 5 temperature settings. The highest one gets up to 95ºC. No, it does not have an auto-on feature, but it does have an auto-off feature to conserve energy. The portafilter is 51mm. The warranty is 2+1, meaning 2 years out of the box, and an extra year if you register your machine. Hope this helps.
Hi, I’d be very pleased if you could explain to me why, in some videos of that same coffee maker, you can make a coffee latte macchiato where the frothed milk comes out first and then the coffee and, on mine, I don’t have this option . I thank you in advance.
Hi Diane, Great question. The machines we have here process espresso first and then milk. A DeLonghi tech agent may be able to identify why there may be a difference with milk first on certain machines. Please connect with a product specialist here - 1 888 335 6644 Ciao for now!
Hello! How do you know which coffee beans have oil and do not? Ive had a Saeco that was danaged because of that but it was an old machine so I purchased the Maestro and before i start anything I want to be sure im using the right type of beans
Great question! Non oily beans are matte in colour. Oily beans have a shine and an excess oil coating the bean. Always choose the coffee beans that are matte in colour, these are safe for the grinders. We have our own locally roasted beans available in Canada, they are always fresh and non oily.

Why is the automatic frother not working, I am doing everything you are, it does not dispense milk, I already checked everything I can think of help please
Hi Luis, Sorry to hear that, ensure the milk frother is clicked in all the way. Ensure the dial is not turned to 'insert' when you are trying to brew. This may be impacting the process. A DeLonghi support agent will be able to troubleshoot with you over the phone, please connect @ 1 888 335 6644.
Luis, did you get this resolved? I have been testing it mostly with Cappuccino and Latte and it seems to work only when the froth knob is set to the highest setting. I’m wondering if when setting my froth knob to medium or low, it’s somehow cutting off the steam or whatever to the milk.
Ofcourse, you would just place the coffee in the portafilter, tamp it yourself, and just brew. You'll skip the whole grinding and self-tamping procedure, and use it as with any other machine. Hope this helps :)
Hi Aleksandr, Thanks for the question, I have linked the manual below for you. On page 11 it outlines milk based beverages and recipes. Link - file:///C:/Users/USER/Downloads/EC9665M-251352.pdf You can also connect with a DeLonghi tech support agent and they can guide you thru the steps. Ciao for now.
Nice preview. Many thanks I am still confused how to use the machine Please explain what is exactly meant by the 1st dial button (dose level) is it grams? seconds ? Really it is not clear. I need to grind 20 grams of coffee to extract 40 g of espresso.. Which dose number is equivalent to 20 grams ? Looking for your kind feedback
Hi ! Pls correct me if I’m wrong, you said never use oily beans ? Why ? It could be a reason why i don’t reach optimal zone of the pressure. With the single shot and amount of coffee is 20.
Hi Vladimir, Oily beans will create a residue of oil inside the grinder. Over time this can gum up the grinder and impact its functionality. There is no cleaning tablet to clean the grinders at home, you would need to take it to a service centre for them to take apart and degrease. Hope that helps clarify for you. Have a great day! Ciao.
@@luismerida2921 Hi Luis, some oil is normal but it should not be excessively oily or shiny looking. This is usually the result of over roasting to hide impurities. We have some fresh roast coffee at the link below. You can review the images on the product page to get an idea of what a suitable roast will look like - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/fresh-roast-espresso
I just got this. Is anyone having issues with the Lattecrema system not working? Mine only works intermittently, and seems to only work on the High froth knob setting. I’ve checked everything - it’s properly inserted, milk level is above minimum line, knob setting, ran a clean cycle after the last attempt, etc etc . I guess I’ll call them after the weekend.
Hi Paolo, Sorry to hear that, a DeLonghi tech will troubleshoot with you over the phone to resolve this matter. They are very helpful and will even offer to do a video call with tech if needed to see exactly what is going on with the milk system. This will allow them to best understand and provide a solution.

So I have a couple of questions about this machine. I know that the Latte Crema jug can be refrigerated with left over milk or dairy product in it. The question I have is does the frothing jug head have to be removed or can it be refrigerated while still connected to the frothing jug? The second question I have is can sugar or a sweetener be added to the frothing jug when it’s being run for Lattés, cappuccinos etc or is that not advisable? Looking forward to your reply, enjoying the videos and am seriously considering this machine. It’s between the La Specialista Maestro and the Philips 5400 LatteGo. Kevin.
Hi Kevin, I did email you the response. For the others who may be viewing this here are my suggestions. a) ensure that the clean cycle is complete on the latte crema jug. After the cleaning cycle you can store the whole container in fridge. b) as the milk going into the frothing jug is cold, I would suggest to use liquid flavouring. Sugar may not dissolve completely. Thanks for the questions :)
@@pablod3734 thanks for the reply. I ended up HATING the machine. Almost impossible to get the perfect shot with the dials and settings, never mind if you change beans. They could have made it much easier to operate. Returned it and bought the Philips 5400 LatteGo Super Automatic. I LOVE IT!! Makes a great cup of whatever you want each time, no changing dials AND uses about 1/3 less beans. Latte system has no hoses or anything to clean. Hope you’re enjoying your Maestro.
@@rdotskeven wow ! You just surprised me but I understand. I bought the machine, spent the $1250 and when I drank my first cup I said “oops” …. I’m just doing espressos now and it works for that I guess but yes, the whole setting up is frustrating because most likely the first two cups are going to waste until you get the right point.
What about a regular cup of coffee? That one was not covered. I have the machine and have simply been adding hot water to the mug to make "coffee" but this cab't be the rigth way.
Hi there, The Maestro features 6 specialty selections: espresso, coffee, americano, cappuccino, flat white, and latte. It can make a coffee! it will brew the espresso beans with water to extract the max amount of flavour. Ciao!

The dark roast will have high oil and low caffeine: the medium roast will have less oil and higher caffeine.
@@ConsiglioskitchenwareHi again! Do you know how I can increase the milk from the crema system or its pre-dialed
Why is the automatic frother not working, I am doing everything you are, it does not dispense milk, I already checked everything I can think of help please
Hi Luis,
Sorry to hear that, ensure the milk frother is clicked in all the way. Ensure the dial is not turned to 'insert' when you are trying to brew. This may be impacting the process.
A DeLonghi support agent will be able to troubleshoot with you over the phone, please connect @ 1 888 335 6644.
I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve checked everything. I think some of these may have a defect. Some burnt out part or something.
Seems to only work when I have the latecrema knob set to the highest froth setting.
Luis, did you get this resolved?
I have been testing it mostly with Cappuccino and Latte and it seems to work only when the froth knob is set to the highest setting. I’m wondering if when setting my froth knob to medium or low, it’s somehow cutting off the steam or whatever to the milk.
Quick question, if I had pre-ground beans is there someway to skip the grind procedure and get the machine to brew straight away?
Ofcourse, you would just place the coffee in the portafilter, tamp it yourself, and just brew. You'll skip the whole grinding and self-tamping procedure, and use it as with any other machine. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for the tips!
Do you have to use grinder or can you just make coffee from pre ground?
Hey Mark,
Yes, you'll have to grind fresh beans each time. There is no bypass chute on the model.
Cheers!
Does the model make cold coffee as well..??
Hi Brenda,
No, this model does not offer cold brew.
Thanks.
Do you recommend distilled water?
Hey there, that is not recommended and the reason why is that you actually want the minerals from regular water, they add body and taste :)
hi, tell me, please, how to change the amount of milk being poured? now the milk is pouring until you press the OK button
