The Best Bean To Cup

Now we need test for under 1k for the machines we can actually afford 🤣

The perfect cup of coffee was brewed and enjoyed exactly 28 years ago on a Tuesday afternoon in a small cafe in Spain. Everyone else missed it.

I would love to see a comparison of multiple Delonghi Bean To Cup, from the lowest end to the highest end, since the price range is quite large and they seem to use the same brewing mechanism.

We somehow unintentionally managed to leave out the UX/UI segment for the Gaggia Accademia on this edit, so we've uploaded that section separately here instead: https://youtu.be/zgybPrP1YJA

21:00 made me laugh so hard. It delicately prepares your drink with a delicate layer of foam on top... and then just angrily sputters and steams all over it

I have a Delonghi worked continuously in my small restaurant, I think the model is magnifica S. It is not a coffee restaurant per se but 30+ cups of coffee per day is for sure. 10 years, it has been making coffee, and still going strong.

I’m not even slightly in the market for these machines, yet, I still watch all your videos. Love them.

James: “It’s monstrous, it’s huge, it’s two and a half thousand pounds!” Me: “It doesn’t look like it weighs that much 🤔” ……”oh!” 😄

I am mechanical engineer and your descriptions of fail designed features made me laugh a lot. My top 5 of funniest points: 1. the moving thing (why?? 😂) 2. the violent steam finish (wtf!) 3. choice-buttons too tight at each other (oops, now I have to drink cappuccino instead of espresso 🤷🏻‍♂️😄) 4. noisy fans 5. the upstanding cover of bean hopper

Hi James, my father made one of his first trips to Italy in the early early 70s. He brought back his first espresso machine (no clue of what the name was). Seems like he kept going back and buying more machines. He always had one at home and one at his office. I got all of his hand me downs. So I have had espresso machines since probably 1973. I had 2 Quick Mills Super Automatic machines, with the filter basket of 7 g and an upgraded one with 9 g. Look them up. I have owned an assortment of single boiler machines heat exchangers since my early 20s. To name a few I have had multiples: Electra, Pavoni, Pasquini Livietta, Quick Mill Anita, and I am currently rocking a dual boiler, what you would call a Sage (Breville in the US). Freshly roasted double shot cappuccino first thing in the morning for 45 years! The funny thing is that in those early days I had almost no clue on how to get good reputable shots until guys like you came along and explained it all. Thank you for your contribution…
