Product Description

Be your own barista with the Gran Dama Avant by De'Longhi. You and your guests can enjoy delicious cappuccinos, lattes and macchiatos anytime.

Simply slide it onto the front of the machine, place a cup under the nozzle and press any of the one-touch buttons. The Gran Dama Avant does all the work for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee drinks at the touch of a button, December 27, 2010

After doing my own head-to-head comparison between the top DeLonghi, Saeco and Jura models, I ended up with the DeLonghi.

First and foremost, my biggest criteria was the taste of the coffee...there's no value in having a high-end espresso machine if it doesn't make coffee that's at least as good as what you can make manually. Luckily, a shop near me happens to stock all three major brands, and I was able to bring a sample of the beans I usually like and compare side by side. In addition to the DeLonghi Gran Dama, I tested the Jura Z5 and the Saeco Primea. I made a simple shot and was actually amazed by the differences - I wasn't expecting such a wide variation. Perhaps it's possible to fine tune some of these differences out, but I found the DeLonghi to be closest to my taste, with the Jura a close second. To me, the Saeco tasted a bit "burnt" and was my least favorite. None were horrible, but the DeLonghi came closest to what I brew by hand. Based on this test, I... Read more

This review is from: DeLonghi ESAM6700 Gran Dama Avant Touch-Screen Super-Automatic Espresso Machine (Kitchen)
I have been looking for the perfect automatic coffee/espresso machine for a long time. I have been to the big coffee websites. I've read all the reviews. And finally, with some trepidation, I laid down half my children's inheritance to purchase this DeLonghi Gran Dama machine, based on the couple of reviews that I found that placed it in a positive light.

Was it worth it? Is it right for you? Well, read on and learn everything there is to know about it from a guy who has put this machine through its paces for two months.

The Pros:

- Automatic burr grinder built in that grinds from a pre-filled bean reservoir. This is very convenient and it makes a fresh and fragrant cup of stuff.

- Good temperature on the coffee, and it gets to that temperature very quickly. Never overly hot. Never tepid. Just right.

- The unit is surprisingly small and compact considering all that it is capable of. It fits perfectly into the slot that my... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Delonghi ESAM6700 vs. Saeco Xelsis Digital ID, December 19, 2011

This review is from: DeLonghi ESAM6700 Gran Dama Avant Touch-Screen Super-Automatic Espresso Machine (Kitchen)
i purchased the delonghi 6700 16 months ago. in short, it is a great machine.

about two weeks ago, i decided to buy another super automatic for another location. i decided to try something different and purchase a saeco xelsis digital ID. this turns out to have been a mistake.

out of the box, the machine reported an "E5" error code. i called saeco and they instructed me to unplug the unit, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. after two tries, the machine booted up. the biggest problem with the machine is that the milk and the coffee is lukewarm at best. specifically, i used a digital instant read thermometer to check, and the milk stream out of the automatic frothing unit was only 115 degrees. the coffee was only 135 degrees. i spoke to the girl at seattlecoffeegear and she told me that she has the same unit at home and that they are all like this. looking at some of the online reviews, it looks like this is a common issue.

other drawbacks of the... Read more
