De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Espresso Machine, Manual Milk Frother, Silver | #1 Worldwide Espresso Machine Maker, 7 One-Touch Recipes, Frother, Built-In Grinder, MyLatte Personalized Signature Drink

We purchased this machine to avoid purchasing either another Keurig or a Nespresso machine. It has not disappointed, and we in fact love it. Pros: - It is fairly simple to use - It eliminates the waste found with a Keurig or Nespresso. All you buy is whole beans for the grinder and ground for the bypass - The bypass opening allows us to make decaf versions of our drinks in the evening (I use Peet’s which is decaffeinated using the water process) - It makes an excellent espresso. I was able to dial in the grind pretty quickly and we have not touched it in 3 months. Because it makes an excellent espresso it also makes an excellent cafe Americano. - My wife likes frothy milk drinks. We got the version with the manual frother which I recommend. It is much easier to clean (and hot milk leaves a residue) and it is very easy to use compared to the versions with the automatic milk frother. - I love the sounds it makes. As an engineer I appreciate all the whirs and clicks and such. Cons: - Our machine leaks a little water internally such that the drip pan fills with water even when nothing visible has gone into it. The good news is that it is all in the drip pan and not on the counter - While it has a low water indicator, it is set too low and will start making a cup and then halt in the middle when it runs out of water. You either toss what you made or get a half of what you wanted. To resolve this I try and remember to look at the right side of the machine at the water level before I start (it is clear and easily visible) - Same issue with beans as water, it can run out of beans in the middle of a cycle, so I check - Some folks complain about the water it purges when turning it on & off, I did not find this annoying. We just keep an empty coffee cup under the spout when we turn it on/off. - I have not been able to dial in the ‘coffee’ option, it is a little too bitter for me. But this is not really much of an issue, the cafe Americano is excellent and I get more volume of coffee than the coffee setting. So while the machine is not perfect, it makes an awesome espresso, cappuccino, and cafe Americano - what we bought it for. It has proven simple to use and to clean. We love it.

LOVE this De'Longhi! I am shocked at all of these bad reviews!! Either these reviews are from competitors or there is a lot of user error. I purchased this machine several months ago and it has been a dream to use. It makes a perfect cappuccino as long as you take the time to learn how to make a perfect cappuccino! If you're just wanting a quick coffee, a press of a button is all it takes. This machine is easy to clean, and easy to fill with coffee and water. The frother works great too. I was previously spending more for pods with my Nespresso machine, and I'm happy to be using whole beans now. There is an obvious noise from coffee grinding but this is expected! I'm happy with the brew speed, which does change depending on your choice of brews. Overall I love this machine and it looks great on my coffee bar....gotta go make another cup!

A few things, 1 my other one I have At work came with a filter, this one did not. I tried Calling and didn’t get anywhere. There is no one to talk to. I tried emailing and no reply’s. 2 the Americano button you have to press twice if you want a full cup of coffee like the button shows. 3 The flaw is the 2x button should be for all the selections just not the espresso 4 the water container depending on how many coffees you want, goes quickly 5 to descale it takes hours so planning sticking around 6 sludge happens to build up in the catcher pain to clean out messy The positives Coffee comes out great prob one of the best cups of coffee!. But is it worth the pricy price tag no!

I owned a De'Longhi Magnifica about 20 years ago, and it lasted a good 10 years. This newer model of Magnifica, (Evo) is nothing short of perfection. Ok, on to the functions....being German myself, I use a German brand of coffee beans, and since I prefer my coffee strong, I always use Espresso beans. The unit itself is a bit noisy, but thats to be expected, given that it has to grind the beans, heat and filter the water and extract all into a cup once all the grinding and mixing is complete. The coffee can't be more fresh than with freshly ground beans right then and there. I like the new features of selecting the type of drink you're making....as well as doubling up on the quantity by a simple press of the "X2" button. My old machine had none of that. You can select between many different types of beverages....Espresso, Coffee, Long, Americano or Over Ice. Steam for Cappuccino can be used for milk as well as frothing up your coffee, for those whom prefer a more crema coffee. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this unit, and it's worth every penny. The water capacity is also great, and I suggest, to those new to this unit, to clean it daily, if used daily. This prevents any water slime, coffee ground disk rot, and keeps the unit running like a champ. You can also use already ground coffee, if you prefer, but as a matter of preference, I use whole beans, for added freshness. I posted images of the ground coffee beans disks ejected into container within machine after brewing is complete, to share with you what I do with those disc's after I clean the tray holding these disks. In winter, I collect them in a zip lock bag, and place them into the freezer, to use in spring and summer for my plants, bushes and trees. Those work wonders for your plants. I have nothing negative to say about this unit, it's SUPERB !!

Well the first unit had to be returned it bricked during initial setup(water pump didn't work I think) Ordered another one which has been good so far. Its fairly easy to use and espresso quality is pretty good. For the price point I think its a pretty good unit, better tasting product then the Phillips. The unit isn't to huge, and looks ok, though it is all plastic, metal and touch screen would be nice but of course that would raise the price by a few hundred making not as great of value. Cleaning is pretty easy. I prefer the manual frother vs the built in dispenser I think it does a better job and less stuff to clean. They do skimp on including a filter you have to purchase separate. I dinged a star off rating because the first unit was DOA. If you don't want to spend money on something like a Jura this is a good entry into the superauto world.

Each time we travel to Europe, we come back to the USA and long for a cup of coffee like we just had on vacation. We finally decided to invest in an espresso machine to quench that thirst for strong, rich, flavorful coffee and bought this De"long Magnifica Evo Espresso machine. The automatic bean grinder saves the day each morning and it grinds them to your desired level - there are 13 grinding levels to experiment with! We love how quick and simple it is to use with a high quality cup of coffee as the result each day. We also like it's narrower/smaller in size compared to other machines we looked at, saving room on our counter. The pod compartment holds several days' worth of used pods in it, so it does not need to be emptied/cleaned every single day if you are in a hurry in the morning. One more thing: our friends visited for a week and ordered this same machine for their home - it was delivered as they arrived home from the airport. Molto bene!

When it arrived it was dead. The manual describes an initialization procedure that did not work. Their hard-to-reach tech support told be to "prime" the machine, but there was no indication in any manual what "priming" means. After looking through You Tube suggestions, holding down "steam" for a couple of minutes got the machine going. The manuals describe several different models, and it really does not have a single trustworthy manual for my particular model. After 4 months of use, one significant annoyance is that it turns off after 15 minutes, so if we have a cup of coffee when we start lunch, we need to wait again for it to start up at the end of lunch. The coffee itself is OK. So if you ignore the hassles, it ultimately produces good espresso and Americano. Correction: After contacting support, and finally getting a human behind the AI wall, here's how to change the time-out duration Press and hold the gear button (settings icon) for 5 seconds to enter the menu. Press the 4th drink button on your control panel, which corresponds to the Coffee selection. Select your desired time by pressing the appropriate button until the matching light indicator appears: 15 Minutes: Select the 1st bean indicator to confirm. 30 Minutes: Select the 2nd bean indicator to confirm. 1 Hour: Select the 3rd bean indicator to confirm. 3 Hours: Select the pre-ground scoop icon to confirm. Press the 4th drink button (Coffee) once more to finalize and save your selection.

1 year review. I bought this on sale for $500 1year 2month ago, being tired of paying $150 a month for Nespresso pods. This machine makes the best coffee ever, better than Nespresso for fraction of the monthly cost, without having to deal with the pods. This machine, as expensive as it is, paid for it self in less than 5 months coming from Nespresso. This machine is working the way it was new, a year and 2 months ago. With that being said, it does sometimes not turn on, and I have to unplug, plug back in to reset it. Also the frother/steamer, it might be that I suck at it but I cant get it to function well. If that is an important aspect of a coffee machine, you should definitely do some research on this before you spend premium price for this machine. Overall, I gladly this 5 stars as its by far the best coffee machine that I have ever owned, and because its still providing me with the best coffee ever every morning without failure.

La mejora cafetera de mi Vida, el cafe espectacular, es importante aprender a usarla, pues es ya maquknabsuper automática, el segundo día se me trajo, pero en atención a clientes me resolvieron el problema de inmediato, resulta que el café lo lolia muy fino, por que moni el ajuste, lo puse nuevamente donde me dijeron y listo, todo exelente, Además se ve espectacular en mi cocina

We got this machine about a year ago. And it is still making amazing coffee multiple times a day and has more than paid for itself ! It was easy to set up and is extremely easy to use. We originally got it as I wanted a machine that the grinder and everything was contained in one unit to cut down on coffee ground mess and also to have more space on our counter with less appliances. It has done this perfectly making our coffee area cleaner and more manageable on top of making amazing coffee ! No more grounds all over or coffee pods to wash and clean out, everything is done by the machine and all that you need to do is empty the ground receptacle when it tells you. Even the descaling and cleaning is SO easy compared to other machines we’ve owned. I recommend this to anyone and am even asked by coworkers to bring them coffee sometimes in the morning lol well worth the price tag for the quality coffee it makes as well as the mess it drastically cuts down on your countertops.

Another level of quality. Im not a coffee drinker but i love my morning espresso. Tried a few machines but this is just the best ever. Fast, good quality and give the best of your coffee grains. 5* and i f i could give 6* it would be 6. Love it

Mi esposa y yo disfrutamos mucho de un buen café todos los días. Esta cafetera De'Longhi nos tiene encantados por la excelente calidad y variedad de cafés que prepara. Desde un espresso hasta un capuccino, es muy sencillo prepararlos con un sabor excepcional. El uso de la máquina no es complicado, pero es necesario seguir las instrucciones para asegurarte de usarla correctamente. El mantenimiento hasta el momento se ha limitado a asegurar que tenga granos de café y agua suficiente (súper sencillo). Es un producto altamente recomendable.

Tuve que leer reseñas, ver videos en YT, para decidir por cual irme. Creo que fue una excelente decisión. Fácil de usar, pero lo único que si desperdicia mucha agua cuando enciende y se apaga, pero supongo es para tener limpio los ductos. Fuera de eso disfruto mi café como si estuviera en una cafetería.
