I have one of these and they are really that good. Yes, "rich coffee taste", but if you are someone who pays for a cappuccino, espresso, etc. at a cafe on the way to work, because you need that hit of java, then you will pay off the investment pretty quickly. I personally have 2 coffees in a travel mug each morning, and with a wife and 18yo daughter and 19yo son who live at home while going to university, who all drink coffee; I find this machine makes wonderful coffee (with good quality fresh whole beans) and financial sense to boot. YMMV, but I love!
Primadonna soul or Delonghi plus 370.95? Mostly concerned with the plastic? Are the internals of both soul and plus made of plastic? Grinder, pressure and frothing wise, are the same?
Purchased this today - my first ever machine. On making a cappuccino and latte it tastes rather watery. I expected a thicker / creamier texture. Are my expectations misplaced or am I doing something wrong? All help much appreciated
Thanks for this. Just purchased. Usual coffee i have is Nescafe Azera Americano Instant. Does anyone have recommendations on which beans i should buy? Thanks in advance!!
Good review. Would also have been useful to cover how easy or difficult it is to keep the machine clean. The pricing on this device is pretty toppy. For £1,200, you are into Jura territory. And all this smartphone malarkey is 90% useless. You just want a machine that is reliable, makes good coffee and is easy to keep clean.
Agree. Keep a coffee machine simple - focus on making good coffee. Would love to see a review on jura machines. But would totally understand since this is a tech not coffee channel.
I’ve got this machine, had it around 5 months now..... app little fiddly, no need for it except customising your size of drinks for different cups (travel cups etc...)..... easy to keep clean tho, used a couple of water filters so far and descaled once.... use it every day for 2-3 bean to cups 👍🏼👌🏼
I've got their previous unit which is far bigger. Easy as to clean. Just bought this one for work and I'd imagine it would be the same as very similar design.
I see some mention Jura terrority when it comes to price. I will actually change my jura e8 for this. The jura I got make really bitter coffe. Tried everything of settings, cleaning and different beans. 🤷♂️
I have a DeLonghi Eletta Evo , bought at Costco. Coffee temp is no hotter that 160 F compared to my Keurig 175 F. I’m thinking about returning it. I see the Philips 4500 selling for $999. US at Williams-Sonoma or splurge on the JURA SN8 for $2395 US Dollars. What do you think? Thanks
Is there possibiity to make a coffe from the bed without standing out form the bed? I mean - do I have to stand up to attach container with the milk from fridge to the primadonna coffee maker?
Really? Is that serious question? Of course you need to attach a coffe container and add some milk. Coffe machine won’t attached it to itself by itself😂😂😂 you should read your comment before you post it 🤣🤣🤭c’mon 😂🥸🥸🥸
I have Siemens EQ6, don't recommend it, after using for couple of years, the grinder will work bad, the cleaning of the water (Brita system) won't work properly, all the cleaning set is expensive including tablets, you cant customize your coffee, they have only pre made programs. I prefer delonghi over Siemens.
Yes tip a pack of beans into the hopper and the lid seals them in. You can use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk but you need to store the milk container in the fridge. when not in use.
Did you ever calculate how many times you can go to the coffee shop before this machine actually becomes a (much) cheaper option? Granted, it doesn’t match the perfect espressos and cappucinos you can get at some coffeeshops, but it does get very close indeed.
@@JimboJones99 just to let you know I just got this machine and with the coffee temperature set to max the milk drinks are nice and hot. It's a fantastic machine
I have a Tassimo too, but this machine is on another level. You can taste the difference in freshness, bean to cup is basically like having Costa at home. If you drink a lot of coffee like myself, then the Tassimo pods can add up. Thanks for watching mate.
Pod machines are like printers. They're cheap to buy but the pods / ink cartridges is where they make their money. Plus you are stuck with the limited range of cartridges available for your machine.

Glad to hear, enjoy ☕️

Thicker milk may help like the gold top one

Most machines make warm but not hot . Does this one make it hot

Machine has self cleaning features. It lets you know on the screen, when you need to press the clean button.

So...how do you maintain & clean it? What are the consumable parts?
Just started watching. When you filled tank with water , do you not put the white water conditioner thing in?
Thanks for the video. I would have liked if you had given a full list of the coffees possible and info on the cleaning of this machine.

Is the milk drinks hot? Or are they ready to drink right away
Does the coffee get really hot in the cups please ? Some say no and some say yes . Can you adjust the level to make it really hot ?

@@philipjc1The perfect temp for froath is under 70 Celsius
Hi everyone! Need advice. Someone is trying to sale me this machine at £550 with six months warranty. What is your opinion. Is it worth it?
Is there a hot chocolate mode putting the power in the ground coffee section?
does the coffee come out hot? at what temperature?
Great review thx
Would you please tell me the difference between soul and prima Donna 650.75 coz I want to buy one ?

Love this thing wish I would have gotten on a lot soon you won’t regret it
Nice
Delonghi Primadonna Soul or Siemens Eq9 S700 which is better?
I have Siemens EQ6, don't recommend it, after using for couple of years, the grinder will work bad, the cleaning of the water (Brita system) won't work properly, all the cleaning set is expensive including tablets, you cant customize your coffee, they have only pre made programs. I prefer delonghi over Siemens.
Wow thats a serious machine. Over £1k though. Rich coffee taste (no pun intended )
Great video - lot's of hands on. A "nice to have" wish would be a bit better audio (lapel-mic) when you're doing the testing :)
What’s the temperature like?
Always something new from you Chigz
Thank you for the excellent detailed review
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Thanks 🙏
Great review really helped me out thanks!
Is Soul better than Elite, in your opinion? Thank you!
Not tested the Elite but the Soul is amazing. They do look identical though.
the cup holder is not heated?
Is the coffee’s and the hot water for tea nice and hot ?
Can you integrate the app with Alexa, Siri, or Hey Google?
Great video, can you turn the auto shut off-off as it turns off after 3 hours max.
Not possible but you can change the duration: www.delonghi.com/en-gb/faqs/Can-I-disable-the-auto-off-functionality-on-my-machine/a/10715
@@ChigzTech Thanks I have already done that .I was hoping to leave it on full time.
So can you store beans inside the machine or no ? And what type of milk do you use uht so it doesnt go off ?
Yes tip a pack of beans into the hopper and the lid seals them in. You can use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk but you need to store the milk container in the fridge. when not in use.
Lol .i watched because of you .but i would buy something else with 1200 euro .
Im going to the coffee shop
Thanks for watching.

Sage barista express is much better and half the price👍
Great detailed review. Nice slurping too!
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته منفذ البيع مكان فين او رقم تليفون السعر
the maxiumun whit water is only fo whit descaleing not for actully prepering the coffe itself
Is this available in North America?
Did you find out? Thanks
Its definitely not available in the US. Not sure about Canada..
Im buying one on Amazon Italy and order step up transformer for it ....
Does it not have option to manually heat or froth milk?
Yes it does
Very good review. You deserve more viewers. Are you still happy about it?
How hot is a latte Luke warm or proper hot?
Yes I would also like to know how hot the milk gets!... Previous delonghi machines the milk always comes out lukewarm
@@JimboJones99 just to let you know I just got this machine and with the coffee temperature set to max the milk drinks are nice and hot. It's a fantastic machine
It just needs to add some sugar and stir
is an ceramic grinder in this maschine?
Inox grinder
Nice....but I want to go out to the coffee shop 🙂
You and me both! But this machine still rocks.
what is different between soul and 650.75?
I really need the answer
Seth offered for sale?
Very impressive stuff!
Brilliant review 😎😎
Holy crao you seen the price of this crazy
By the time this has made my coffee, I’ll be late for work!
Work from home, dude. Make your coffee even after work starts ;)
Una de esa yo necesito, eso hace hasta cerveza jejejejeje saludos desde Dominicana la bella
How heavy is this
Got one
Not a fan of propriotary milk jug, almost all other brands have a hose that goes into whatever you have ur milk in.
Using a milk dispensing hose is great to begin with but after around 6 months you will get milk splutter no matter how many times you clean it
No more Nescafe Instant from now on😁
Great Review.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 very good
Awesome Review!! 😍🔥
#chigz
Taste , taste and taste. Very nice machne, but... expensive .... buuuuu
It is not hot enough
Do you have one? I have the Eletta EVO and it is not hot enough. I’m returning for Philips 4500, might as well have warm coffee and save $1200, LOL
Espresso pouring far too fast, I'd bet if you tasted an Espresso it would be bitter tasting.
👍
😁😁😁👍👍👍
Very expensive
Same price as the famous
Nuova Simonelli Oscar coffee machine
No thanks
£1200, lol...My Tassimo is quicker than this and makes great coffee at a fraction of the price (£30-50)
I have a Tassimo too, but this machine is on another level. You can taste the difference in freshness, bean to cup is basically like having Costa at home. If you drink a lot of coffee like myself, then the Tassimo pods can add up.
