Crema is good.

The espresso tastes great, leaves a wonderful crema, easy to use and clean, I like that it came with a tamper, the steam wand is fast and makes great milk for latte art, and the handle is neat in that it has a way to keep the interchangeable cups in place without having to fiddle with a latch

Easy to use, medium body espresso with very good crema, and steam wand works well on my machine and makes great foam

It works like a breeze, and produces consistently great pours with beautiful crema markings

I typically put my cup right where the drip comes out, and it flows evenly for a perfect crema

I did think most every attempt did make a nice crema

Noce crema and the coffee temperature was also perfect for me

From one day to the next, this machine went from producing wonderfully flavored expresso with beautiful crema to no crema, bitter flavor, and almost no flow from the boiler

The BadI like my espresso with an ample amount of crema (foamy) - but the ECP3430 disappointed, only providing a small amount of crema (on the perimeter, center is black)

If you know the difference between frothed milk, and steamed microfoamed milk ... if you relentlessly pursue perfect crema ... if you like to hone your technique to be like that one hole in the wall place that incense knocked your socks off by making a latte an otherworldly experience ... if you’ve worked as a barista where your machine didn’t have a frothing wand and you had to learn to make microfoam ... if you want to use the fine espresso grinds

Good crema on espresso, professional quality espresso

Doesn't create the nice crema on top that the high-end coffee/espresso makers do▶︎

Fortunately the old EC702 sump and filter cups fit the ECP3430 machine, solving my issue of insufficient crema output

The espresso comes out with a nice crema on top, just like my old De'Longhi

The espresso produced by my new reasonably priced has a wonderful crema and so far a very consistent temperature.

And crema was not good at all

The first couple shots of espresso are always beautiful and have a nice crema, but anything beyond that is not as good with hardly any crema and a bit watered down

Also, for beginners I would suggest using pre-ground illy or lavazza for best results and crema

It's easy to use and the crema is good

It produces a nice crema, especially with my grind of choice which is Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee Blend, Espresso Dark Roast.

So far this machine, the EC3420, is barely producing good CREMA.⚫︎Hot water delivery through a nozzle for tea and such

Overall, excellent shots with a nice crema once I got the hang of it and seems to be good quality for the price

Whether you get any draw from it is up to your personal touch, I have been able to achieve perfect draws with excellent crema extraction, although not consistently

The coffee does not have good crema as the much chipper BAR32 machine.

I believe it is transferring heat from the water charge heater, wasting it in an ineffective feature that instead robs needed heat energy from the main purpose of the machine, making a decently warm espresso!⚫︎CREMA: the EC155, the cheaper cousin, uses a different basket and strainer that has fewer and less fine holes in the strainer

Pros- Pulls a decent shot of espresso, not quite as much crema as I would like to see from a pump driven machine but better than a steam machine.

The espresso comes out great with a nice golden crema

Tap down the froth pitcher and swirl it to eliminate big bubbles and pour it very slowly down the side of the tilted glass to avoid disturbing the crema and then spoon out the thick foam on top of the latte

The DeLonghi machine produces a nice pull on the espresso and creates nice crema

does come out looking authentic with a nice crema

Fantastic crema!Don't understand the hype over the frothing wand on this though

The crema is fine

Using a non-pressurized basket has given me the most consistent and best tasting espressos with good crema

Fantastic crema!Don't understand the hype over the frothing wand on this though

Espressos have a nice crema, which is imperative for good espresso.

Makes great coffee with perfect crema

o más suave,

Everything works as it should.

Next time I need an espresso machine DeLonghi has lost me as a

With the new machine our lattes didn't taste as good as with the old machine

Everything about the unit works as it should with the exception of it dripping.

Worked exactly as I had hoped
