new delonghi coffee maker

Do not buy unless you love the smell of burnt coffee in the morning, November 23, 2008

I bought this cause I loved the idea of the front loading. However I am having the same problem of the leaking from the back. Coffee pools on the burner leaving a stinky dirty mess.
I can get another from Delonghi but I am not sure I want to pay them $10 to ship me another one that may have the same defect.
It's my first Delonghi purchase and I am disappointed! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

NOT WORTH IT!, August 10, 2008
By S. Colie (Texas) - See all my reviews


I bought this coffee maker about 4 months ago and Delonghi ESAM3300 is already in the garbage. After the first month coffee would slowly come out of the carafe around the silver strip near the bottom and get on the burner and the smell of burnt coffe would fill the house. Then this weekend as I was filling the carafe with water Delonghi ESAM3300 cracked. Carafe's online are $20 + shipping. NOT WORTH IT! So, I went out and bought a Cuisnart Coffee on Demand 12 cup programmable coffee maker and so far Delonghi ESAM3300 is wonderful! Flavorful and hot coffee and even better there is no carafe to worry with!!! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Leaks, October 25, 2008
By M. Perwin (Cave Creek, AZ USA) - See all my reviews Permalink


I had the same leaking problem that another reviewer had. After about 1 month of daily use this unit starts leaking from the back and liquid coffee goes down to the warming plate making a mess and causing a burnt coffee smell. The company kindly sent me another unit but the same thing happened. So now they are sending me a second replacement and I chose a different model which hopefully will be more reliable. But based on the review on that unit I am not optimistic that unit is any better. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

BROKEN AGAIN!, July 21, 2008
By L. M. Cluney (Gotha, Florida) - See all my reviews Permalink


Bought Delonghi ESAM3300 in December- Delonghi ESAM3300 broke in January. Delonghi was very good at replacing it, just cut the cord and send Delonghi ESAM3300 back- less $7.50 s+h. It's
now July and it's broke again... should I give Delonghi ESAM3300 another try? The nice feature of being able to swing the front open to pour in the water, much easier than lifting the top and pouring Delonghi ESAM3300 in. If only Delonghi ESAM3300 wouldn't break again. ugh!
