The Delonghi Maestosa EPAM960.75.GLM is the automatic coffee maker of excess. Two grain grinders, a 2.5 liter water tank, a 5-inch touch screen, a pressure of 19 bars, 18 programmed recipes… and €2,499 to pay.
The Delonghi Maestosa EPAM960.75.GLM is an exceptional automatic machine, capable of preparing multiple different drinks. Its handling is ideal thanks to its large touch screen. The two grain grinders are a very relevant innovation, and the Maestosa is easy to maintain. Everything is not perfect, of course, and there are still certain points of improvement such as the distribution nozzles to be placed a little lower and materials which would have benefited from an anti-marking treatment. Fans with strong bank accounts can, however, be tempted without preconceived ideas… As for others, they will easily find automatic coffee makers with grinders that are less complete, but just as recommendable and much less expensive.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
You have to be really fussy to find faults in the automatic machine with Siemens EQ.700 Integral grinder. But no one is perfect and we would have liked to be able to choose the temperature of the drink as easily as we adjust the quantity delivered or the intensity. We may also regret not being alerted when the grain bin is empty. But these are only peccadilloes in the face of a very fast machine, extremely simple to use and which also allows you to discover exotic caffeinated specialties. Siemens has achieved a masterstroke here and the EQ.700 is a success… Integral.
