DeLonghi ESAM6600 Prima Donna Bean To Cup Coffee Maker Reviews
5 Reviews of the DeLonghi ESAM6600 Prima Donna Bean To Cup Coffee Maker
The Prima Donna of all Coffee Machines!!! a Must buy
I purchased this machine in the Amazon Xmas sale and what a buy it is. it looks absolutely brillaint on my breakfast bar. The machine is so easy to operate and clean. We live in a hard water area and our previous Gaggia machine broke down within 18 months due to my lazy approach to cleaning. However, this machine will tell you when it requires de-scaling etc. I think it may also iron my work shirts if programmed accordingly. You can program the machine to produce the exact amount of coffee you prefer and froth milk required per cup. If you enjoy coffee and want a machine that lasts a long time, the Prima Donna is for you. Impress your mates and splash out that bit more, i recken over time it will be worth it!!

De’Longhi Prima Donna
I have progressed from virtually every type of appliance for brewing coffee.
I wanted a machine that was easy to use and clean.
The biggest draw back of other machines I have used is that they are messy and fiddly to use.
OMG this is so simple.
After reading the manual and configuring it for your water hardness (litmus paper test) took about 20 mins to get up and running.
1. Plug it in
2. Fill the tank
3. Top up the beans
4. Press the button.
This machine also does the best americano (long espresso) I have tasted outside of a Parisien Cafe/Italian Coffee shop.
Main reason for this machine over others is that it also handles Cappacino’s and Latte’s. TBH other mahcines I used were a pain in the arse to use for this - pour the coffee then steam the milk manually to make a good froth.
This is SO SO EASY!! - stick the jug in and press a button.
The machine is self cleaning, tells you when to empty grounds, fill tank and descale. Only thing it doesn’t do is tell you when to top up the beans - but tbh this is not an issue.
Best Purchase I have made in a long time - didn’t want to fork out £1500 for the equivalent krups model.
This makes the best coffee I have tasted, if you like other cappacinos and lattes and want something quick and easy to use then this is a must.
You can also set it to come on before you get up - to warm the cups on top - nice touch

Mmmm Nice!!!
I can only agree with the other (good) reviews, no problems so far (Bought Dec 2008)
Just one niggle, the nozzle that you slide the milk jug onto, needs lubricating LIGHTLY with SILICONE GREASE (Available from a SCUBA Diving Store), this makes the jug “glide on” instead of pushing the whole machine around the worktop as you attempt to push the jug into place.

Bella bella coffee maker!
Very pleased with the machine and getting some really excellent coffees from it. Easy to set up and to operate, althoug a little quirky. I have no regrets with my purchase. Its well made and sturdy, access to all the things you need to do is from the front or top, so it sits nicely on the kitchen worksurface in the corner and does not need to be moved at all. It’s used every day and looks good for many years of use.
For those considering buying I would point out these things:
There is no facility to manually steam milk with this machine. You have to use the supplied milk container and the function is automatic, however:
- Milk temperature is not hot enough for me and there is no way to adjust it. Coffee temp can be adjusted, which partially compensates. There is no such concern if you want espresso or Americano (which they call long coffee). If fact you can change the temparature of the coffee and store the change in memory. Not so for the milk.
- So don’t expect to be able to steam milk for hot chocolate, for example, and get it anywhere near hot enough.
- The type of coffee, e.g Cappachino or Latte, you want is pre-progammed on buttons which then automatically delivers the apropriate mix of milk and coffee, however the milk container needs setting as well and that setting needs to be manually applied, it tells you to do it but why not have that automated as well?
The machine tells you when it needs intervention - more coffee beans, more water, old grounds container emptying and so on. The best thing to do when one of these messages comes up is to do all of them together. When you’re after a quick coffee it’s rather annoying to be told to empty the grounds container (you cannot proceed without doing this), then only to be told once you have finished doing it and try for your anticipated coffee again, that the water needs filling….! It only works in serial!
Having said that a little practice gets you wonderful coffees and you can program the exact type of coffee you like and store it under any of the buttons - only thing is they are prelabled and you cannot change the label as its printed on the machine. I think it would be better to have a generic labels like coffee 1, 2 & 3. There are three of them so you could have individual preference settings for up to 3 people or perhaps you just like different styles of coffee as the mood takes you.
All in all, now I have figured it out I am enjoying coffee that is just as good as the coffee shops - no, better as I can use my favourite beans. Try doing that in Costa-Star-Nero-Fortune!

Pure magic from DeLonghi
I purchased this machine after having struggled with inferior models for many years. I guess curiosity got the better of me … I have always bought the best of the best and forgot about the rest ! … This is the best… the one and only for me. It talks to me, we share the experience of the making, the aromas of real ground coffee; fresh and enlivening!
It is so “simples! ” You can adjust everything, the strength, the volume, the temperature … it tells you when you need to descale, fill the water tank, empty the grounds container, fill the beans … just everything ! - Buy it .. go on … spoil yourself, you deserve this machine .. I’ve had mine for 6 months now, and it’s worth every penny !
