Gail introduces us to the features and functionality of the DeLonghi Perfecta superautomatic espresso machine, which has one-touch cappuccino and programming customization.
Never higher than 150F? And you said this one got hotter than the previous models (3300 and 3500?) Man, I am going to have to rethink my super auto quest. Why don't you carry these models anymore? And what would you recommend in its place? Thanks!
@kbedwardz They discontinued they for awhile and now they are back again. These are very popular, they sell out every time they come in because of their price point, I think. There are much better models on the market. I would research the Jura Ena 4, C5, Saeco Talea Giro & Touch Plus in its place. - Kat
@SeattleCoffeeGear You guys rock. Thanks so much, and thanks for the videos. Would have bought from you except I had a huge credit at a store already that needed to be used.
I just received this machine and it's my 3rd super automatic. I keep going from super to manual back to super because I can never get the right pull from any machine. What I would like to know is what do you think is the best kind of bean or flavor of bean to use to get the best taste,I love the taste of cappuccino's in the restaurants but never know what beans they use also what do you find are the best settings for this machine, grind setting, temp, amount of milk and coffee for a cappuccino
@bruced39 You'll need to mess around with the settings as there are no 'best' -- it's really personal preference. The Italian Roast from Starbucks is really dark, so if you're going to keep using it, definitely make sure your grinder is set more coarsely (mid range or higher), otherwise you run the risk of the grinder and/or brew group seizing up. If you can find a lighter medium roast, that's ideal for superautomatics -- less maintenance over time. - Kat
