Thanks for taking the time to check out our UK review of the De'Longhi Fully Automatic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine ECAM22 model. This is one of the more affordable options when it comes to buying a bean to cup type of coffee machine. 

When we say more affordable, we mean that these machines can be priced anything between £300-3,000. That price change is wide and mainly down to the range of features that you get, plus the actual quality of the machine.

Online buyers rate this model very highly and overall they have given this one an 88% buyer satisfaction rating. That placed it an number 2 position on our top 10 list of bean to cup coffee machines priced at under £500.

You can usually find this particular model online at a really good price as we will explain later in this article.

This ECAM22 model is suitable for using with either coffee beans thanks to the built-in grinder, but can also be used with ground coffee, if you don't want to grind the beans.

It can quickly prepare two cups of coffee at the same time so ideal for couples, or for coffee with a friend.

It makes a great espresso but the brand advertises this model mainly as a great cappuccino model. That is because it uses a combination of freshly ground beans, steam, air and milk to make a wonderful creamy froth.

For the price we believe that you get a great machine, and this one is at the lower end of the price point. Almost every buyer review mentioned just how easy this model was to use.

We believe that this is simply a very good buy if you want to own a high quality bean to cup coffee machine.

It has all the right features and will become a great time saver for you around the kitchen. The coffee is always hot and the consistency of the brew is always there.

Add to that the fact that is is very easy to use and virtually cleans itself, and you can see that you will own a really good machine.

Buyers liked the appearance of this machine, and they also liked the fact that you could use this for hot water, if you fancied a cup of tea instead.

We know from our experience that once you upgrade to this type of bean to cup machine, that they all take a bit of getting used to. This ECAM22 model does as well, but in all honesty, does not take a great deal of time.

If it arrived in the morning then by lunch time you would have this one mastered.
