Hi, I'm new here biggrin.gif
from all the forums I've seen that the De Longhi EAM 3500 is pretty much the "egg-laying wooly milk sow" among the fully automatic coffee machines. Accordingly, I am now thinking about the purchase. smile.gif

One more question I haven't found answered anywhere. What is the quality of the much-mentioned crema like? At Stifutng Warentest this was a criterion of their own, but unfortunately they don't test the device.

Somehow I'm afraid to spend a lot of money now and the coffee doesn't taste as expected afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't find anybody to demonstrate the device... and since I want to buy on the internet anyway (Saturn: 1100,-- Internet 742,--) I would be happy about answers !

Thanks

Hi Toefte,

The crema depends decisively on the coffee used. Just like the taste, there are big differences. Besides everyone is knitted differently who loves one's mild, the next one stands on horseshoe coffee (throw in a horseshoe, if's swims upstairs it is right cool.gif ) Only one thing helps: test until you have found the beans with which your dream coffee succeeds smile.gif>

If you wanted to know if DeLonghi can have good crema at all - yes. The sugar on the espresso does not sink in immediately, but remains in place for a short time until it *flup* disappears.

Stiftung Warentest had the smallest machine in the series, the 3000 B in the test. I would have liked to know how the test would have turned out if they had compared the F50 from Jura and the 3400 from DeLonghi... tongue.gif

For a good crema, simply adjust the grinding degree as described in the instructions and you will succeed without any problems!

Well, have you bought the EAM 3500 yet? I have also searched long and hard and I think they can do a lot at a good price. At Stein Elektro I found them over "miser" for 719,00 plus 8,00 Euro postage. At Media Markt they only wanted to go down to 849.00, even though Media online offers them for 725.00.
Bin now totally excited!

Hi,

would like to buy the EAM 3500 also from Stein Elektro.

Is the shop the official contract partner of Delonghi Germany?
Don't want to get a product from Eastern Europe, where I will have Stess with the guarantee!
