Third-party reviews

What customers like about De'Longhi ECAM312.80.TB

  • A built-in grinder with 13 settings gives fresh beans for every cup.
  • The automatic milk frother makes cappuccino and latte macchiato.
  • The two-cup function brews two drinks at once.
  • User profiles save settings for each person in the house.
  • A 19 bar pump gives the pressure needed for strong coffee.
  • A water filter is built in, and the milk circuit cleans itself.

What customers don't like about De'Longhi ECAM312.80.TB

  • There is no app, so every setting is made on the machine.
  • There is no steam wand, so you cannot froth milk by hand.
  • It cannot use capsules.
  • There is no iced coffee program for cold drinks.
  • There is no portafilter, so you cannot pack and tamp your own grind.

Verdict

Thirteen grinding settings and a built-in grinder make the De'Longhi ECAM312.80.TB a good pick for someone who wants fresh beans and milk drinks without much effort. It grinds just before each cup, and it also takes powdered coffee when that is what is in the cupboard. The automatic frother and the milk container let you make cappuccino or latte macchiato from the touch screen. Two cups can be brewed at once, and user profiles save each person's favourite settings. The milk circuit cleans itself, and a water filter and descaling program help keep it running well. There is no app and no steam wand, so every setting is made on the touch screen. It suits a busy household where several people want milky drinks without making them by hand.
