Review DeLonghi ECP3220W 15bar Manual Espresso Machine

As an entry-level espresso machine, this is pretty good. Obviously, you cannot expect $600 espresso machine performance from a machine that costs a fraction of that. The steam wand works but only for 15-20 seconds before it runs out of gas. The operation is straightforward. Around $139.

Great video, very informative! I just got my machine today at a work raffle. Super excited to try it out. I need to get my a few espresso shot glasses now. Thanks again for the tips and review!

I just got one of these babies. Thank you so much for making this video!

Great video - very helpful, esp as I’m looking to buy this one. Quick question: the double shot looked a little too watery. Do you happen to know the grammage of coffee in vs coffee out?

[danielrichardson]

The filters actually slide in the slots on the lid of the storage compartment!!!

How many tablespoons of beans need to be ground for the tamper to make one shot?

Great video, thanks. Even though I make sure the ready light is on before I start, my expresso is often just warm, not hot.  Am I supposed to wait for the light to blink or something? Also I am using a larger vessel to capture my double shot but how do I know when to stop the shot? Does it shut off on its own or do I judge when I think 2 shots worth of expresso have come out? Thanks, Pam

My wife bought me this for my bday. Great little machine and fun to tinker with. The portafilters seem a bit small. Can't really pack in 15g of coffee even on the double shot filter. I'm thinking of trying out a non pressurized 51mm portafilter. Some reviewers say they get even better results trying that set up. If you got 15g of coffee into the double portafilter in stock form, I think you'd have to tamp it down too much?

Thanks for the walk-through, really appreciate it. I just picked up the ECP3220. Mine does not have the"W" designation. I wonder what that means.

How long does it take from the moment you turn it on to the moment it has poured the espresso?
And how much hot water could it pour before it runs out of hot water?

[lastcowboy]

how big are the holes supposed to be ???? in the coffee filters i can see where they pressed the outline of the hole( which is bigger) but then you hold it up to the light and you can see just a very very very small hole that a pin will not fit thru and the pod filter has no hole that i can see holding it up to the light but has the imprint of a larger hole like the others . its like when they pressed it the hole did not form completely, is your filters the same as mine or did i get some bumm filters ? thank you

The unused filter cups are supposed to slide into the lips on the underside of the lid.

[timecruncher]

Once your shot starts pouring, do you stop it at your desired volume, or when the “ready” light turns off?

How do these types of Espresso machines with just a water reservoir even get the crèma without a sealed chamber to build up pressure to create the Espresso?

[alsophocus]

Very nice video, just got this coffee maker. Thank you!

[lauwe]

Thanks very much for your good video, , i just got this model as present and was wondering how it all worked, now i watched your video its time for lavazza expresso coffee lol, happy new year 2020

[trishgarland]

We just bought this, but we can't get a full stream of coffee to come out. It just comes out in drips, and we've tried many times. Any ideas why this would be happening?

How to take off the steam nozzle, I tried to take it off but I couldn’t.
