Thanks for taking the time to check out our UK review of the De'Longhi Eletta Bean to Cup Coffee Machine. This is also referred to as the De'longhi Eletta Cappuccino machine.

With this particular model you really do get what is called fresh coffee which tastes great. That is because you can grind the fresh beans in the built-in grinder, and also easily froth fresh milk to make a great latte, cappuccino or any of the popular coffee drinks.

Online buyers rate this machine very highly and overall they have given this one a 90% buyer satisfaction rating. That placed it an number 1 position on our top 10 list of bean to cup coffee machines priced between £500-1,000.

This model sits in the low to mid tier range of the price point scale for this type of bean to cup machine.

Most people will be familiar with the brand of course, and the fact that this one has such a high buyer rating, is a clear sign why this maker sells consistently well.

Who Would Buy the De'Longhi Eletta Coffee Machine?

People who understand and love the taste of really fresh coffee are very likely to have a bean to cup machine on their wish list. These types of machine are really for coffee lovers, and they are an expensive purchase.

There are plenty of options for coffee machines, but with any bean to cup type it really is all about getting freshly made coffee. Coffee tastes so much better when the beans are freshly ground.
