What we like about De'Longhi Eletta Cappuccino ECAM44.660.B

  • Excellent, thick, and consistent milk foam via the LatteCrema system
  • Easy to clean, with automatic milk and coffee circuit rinsing functions
  • Fully customizable drink settings, including milk volume, coffee strength, and milk froth density
  • User-friendly with a clear, intuitive touch control panel and display
  • Detachable milk carafe for convenient storage in the fridge
  • Provides hot water on demand and has a functional cup warmer

What we don't like about De'Longhi Eletta Cappuccino ECAM44.660.B

  • Limited effectiveness of the hot water dispenser for tea
  • Milk carafe cleaning can lead to minor splashing
  • Some users find the grinder noisy (standard for bean-to-cup machines)
  • The machine can be difficult to use with pre-ground coffee, often causing errors

Verdict

The De'Longhi Eletta Cappuccino ECAM44.660.B is a fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine featuring a 15-bar pump system, a 2-litre water tank, and a 400g bean hopper paired with an integrated conical steel burr grinder offering 13 adjustable settings. Running on 1450 watts, its main characteristics and pros include a dual-thermoblock heating system for simultaneous coffee extraction and milk texturing, a two-line digital display with intuitive soft-touch buttons, a programmable "My Coffee" option for customized strength and temperature, and the patented LatteCrema System with a detachable, fridge-safe milk carafe that automatically dispenses creamy foam and self-cleans. On the downside, the machine lacks a dual-bean hopper for switching coffee varieties, cannot steam milk and brew coffee at the exact same moment because it switches sequentially despite the dual blocks, can be quite noisy during grinding, and its large physical footprint occupies considerable kitchen counter space.
