De'Longhi Magnifica Plus Fully Automatic Espresso Machine - Brew 18+ One Touch Coffee Recipes for up to 4 User Profiles, Automatic Milk Steam Wand & Built-in Grinder, Touchscreen Display

So far we are delighted with the DeLonghi Magnifica Evo. Setup is easy. It makes what type of coffee drink you want with a touch of a button. No loading a coffee portafilter. No packing the coffee. No struggling to insert the portafilter. Automatic milk frother. It makes your drink dumps the coffee puck in a built in bin. And self cleans. It is a delightful and makes delicious coffee drinks. No more plastic K-Cups. The cost per cup of coffee is seriously slashed vs K-Cups. I considered the Ninga but based on the reviews and the performance of this machine. I believe I made the right choice I can’t praise it enough you need to get on of these! It looks and performs great. Update LOVE this machine NO more Starbucks. Get you one you won’t regret it!

I had a high-end espresso maker for years. I enjoyed the coffee but grew weary of all the effort and finally retired and sold my equipment. We recently spent time in Eastern Europe, including 5 days in a hotel with high-quality super-automatic coffee machines. I was initially skeptical but loved my morning lungo! I was even impressed with the cappuccino feature. Surprisingly good foam! So, we return home and I want to keep the lungos coming. I start researching super-automatic machines. I love spreadsheets and assembled one that enabled me to compare features, quality, price and maintenance. Digging out all the info I wanted took time and effort. I finally narrowed down my choices to De'Longhi and one other brand. I then had to decide which models gave me what I wanted. In our case, we want lungo and cappuccino. We did not need more coffee choices. We also wanted true super-automatic capability. I kept coming back to the De'Longhi Magnifica but they made several different machines with the Magnifica label. I was uneasy about the Magnifica lacking a specific lungo button. Well, I learned that this machine's coffee button is actually a lungo button (a more dilute espresso versus Americano and brewed coffee) and the machine can be adjusted to deliver the strength we prefer. I like the price and features of the Magnifica Evo and that's what we purchased. When the machine arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging. It is simply excellent! That helped me feel optimistic about the machine. After setting everything out, I was not as impressed with the manuals. The machine appeared to be quite complicated and more maintenance than I expected. After making a first cup of coffee, I liked the results but still found the manuals tedious and hard to follow. I turned to youtube.com. I found quite a few De'Longhi Magnifica videos but was especially impressed with the one by consiglioskitchenware. De'Longhi should put a link to this video in the front of the manual. The presenter showed me how easy it is to work and maintain this machine. The manual now makes a lot more sense. We've been using the machine now for a week and I absolutely love it!! The lungos are just what I want: a full-bodied brew with a lovely crema cap and no bitterness! The cappuccinos use a shot of espresso - also beautifully done - and the foam far exceeds what I expected. It's smooth with fine bubbles, maybe not as good as a high-end espresso shop but very nice for home results. As for the super-automatic features, they get top marks. We adjusted the coffee volume slightly and the machine faithfully remembers our adjustment. I punch the coffee button and I hear the grinder going to work. Then, a slight pause while the water gets set up, followed by the boiler delivering a cup of coffee. Then the machine discharges the used puck into the waste bin. When I turn off the machine or it turns itself off, it uses hot water to clean the coffee delivery line. I was skeptical about the ease of the cappuccino feature, especially foam quality and ease of cleaning. Again, the machine exceeded my expectations. I pour milk into the bottle, plug it back into the machine and hit the button. It starts with beautiful foam and then injects the shot of espresso. When I'm done, the machine has a "clean" button that discharges hot water through the foam delivery system. The milk bottle is easily rinsed and cleaned, and the head and suction tube can be easily hand cleaned or put in the dishwasher. Would I buy this machine again? Absolutely!!!

I am not sure what makes me more upset- that this well-known company put out a coffee maker that can't make a decent cup of coffee. Or that I wasted SO much money on it. The most basic function of this machine should be to make a simple cup of coffee. Good luck with that. The size of the "puck" of coffee for whatever you do with this machine is always the same. So if you want a bigger cup of coffee-the amount of coffee grinds used is the same as the small cup. The only difference is how much water it uses. That means that your 12 oz cup of coffee is weaker than the 8 oz. To adjust the size of the cup you want you press the coffee button until it blinks. You wait at the machine until your cup fills to where you want it and then you press the coffee button again. This then becomes your default (size) cup setting. Great right? Except that the next person who wants coffee has no idea what size of cup they are getting. If I brew a small cup and my husband wants a 12 oz he's getting an 8 oz unless he uses the same process. And his 12 oz cup is weak. De Longhi made the strength of the coffee a seperate interface you can easily see. But somehow neglected to make selecting the size of the cup and the setting clear. And sure- you can make two cups but guess what? No normal mug(s) fit under the two nozzles side by side. Ergo the two-cup function requires you to put a single large container of some sort under the nozzle and then pour from there into two mugs. Making two cups of coffee for ourselves each morning is a chore. We ran through a ridiculous amount of bean brands to find a bean that would be strong enough for a large cup and not taste terrible when a smaller cup is brewed or a weaker setting is selected. There is also no way to know how many beans are in the machine aside from a visual above it. Often you wind up starting a cup of coffee only to hear the dreaded "empty" whirling noise you'll come to recognize. If you're not standing near the machine to stop it still brews the cup. Don't forget the container you have to put under the machine for every on/off cycle. It cleans itself with water both when it is powered on and when powered off. This means you run through a LOT of water. If you have hard water like we have you'll need to descale and replace the filters constantly. And to descale is a 15 STEP PROCESS. This is not an exaggeration. We made it less than two months between descales last time. You CANNOT disable the auto-shut off. You can only adjust the amount of time that passes before it shuts itself off every day. (While there is a vessel under the machine to catch this extra water it fills quickly and you have to empty it often. Even De Longhi suggests putting a seperate container under it to catch this bypass water.) What about the rest of the functions? Mercifully espresso is good. You can get a good cappuccino about 7 out of 10 times. Often you just get an espresso with a lot of hot milk and zero froth. Again you can't adjust the size of the cappuccino because the puck size is always the same. I brew a small cup of coffee before running the cappuccino to get a remotely decent size amount. We have to leave the instruction manual out because this thing has so many codes and lights to interpret. "Simple One Touch" is anything but. We are both technically savvy people- it's ridiculous. We recently went on a vacation where our hotel both had the most basic, old fashioned Cusinart coffee makers. Filter. Drip. We were SO happy we could finally, easily, get a decent cup of coffee. We have guests visiting soon. I plan to buy another cheap coffee maker to use rather than try to have a college course on making a cup of coffee if we aren't around. Ridiculous. I splurged on this thing and (clearly) I regret it.

Después de batallar con otras marcas de cafeteras súper automáticas. Créanme que vale la pena cada peso invertido, está cafetera es la estrella del hogar cuando hay visitas porque podemos ofrecer 5 tipos de bebidas (café largo, expreso, latte, latte machiato y té). Esta marca maneja un molino universal para sus máquinas de diseño patentado y bomba que garantiza un sabor impresionante en cada infusión con 15 bares efectivos no como otras, con niveles de molienda regulables, un espumador de leches automático que es una chulada en este modelo, que puede espumar leches enteras, semi, light, deslactosada, condensada, coco y almendra, cuenta con una guía rápida de uso, manuales, y hay videos de soporte en la red para su uso. El panel táctil es sencillo e intuitivo, las instrucciones son precisas y cuenta con avisos luminosos si algo no está bien, cuenta con registro en línea del producto y soporte de garantía en México. Ejecuta un ciclo de limpieza continuo del sistema con barrido de líneas con agua al inicio y al termino de cada infusión para garantizar que no se tapen las lineas, no como en otras marcas (y no desperdicia más que 40 ML aprox en cada ciclo), puedes regular la temperatura de la infusión para la temperatura final del café, configurar el volumen de café o leche a servir de acuerdo a la capacidad de tus tazas y grabar los valores y hacerlo de forma manual también. Programar el tiempo de stand-by para ahorro de energía, es un poco ruidosa cuando opera pero eso es normal de este tipo de máquinas súper automaticas, es muy facil de limpiar las bandejas y charolas, la máquina te avisa cuando es necesario hacer el proceso de descalcificación el cual es muy sencillo para mantener limpio el sistema, sobre todo utilizas leche de almendras que contiene mucho calcio. Tiene buena capacidad para procesar granos aprox. 250 gramos por carga, puede procesar café molido también con cuchara medidora incluida (de esta manera solo 1 taza a la vez), tanque de agua de aprox 1.8 litros, incluye un filtro de agua para el tanque (en lo personal y por experiencia no lo instale porque uso solamente agua embotellada o de garrafón y al no instalarlo no marca error como otras), una tira para medir el Ph y comprobar dureza del agua, (contiene un líquido descalcificador para 1 limpieza del sistema de 100 ML), los consumibles son de los mas accesibles, de mejor calidad y baratos del mercado, no como otras marcas que tienen diferentes tipos o modelos de consumibles y caros, algunas veces difíciles de conseguir. Les recomiendo antes de todo configurar la cafetera haciendo la prueba de la dureza del agua y no mover la perilla de molienda del molino que por lo regular está de fabrica en el número 3 que considero y por pruebas que se le hacen en fábrica a estos equipos es la molienda más adecuada, pero la puedes cambiar a tu gusto. El molino es de fácil acceso y se puede retirar y limpiar con agua solamente, tiene bandeja y depósito para residuos de agua y de café infusionado (los discos de café infusionado que expulsa los puedes utilizar de abono natural a tus plantas). Algo muy importante... La máquina te avisa cuando es necesario hacer el proceso de descalcificacion y es recomendable hacerlo, pero supongamos que vas a trabajar y quieres tu café y te marca descalcificar, si no lo puedes hacer en ese momento puedes iniciar el proceso solamente con agua e interrumpirlo a los 2 minutos y te permite usar nuevamente la máquina para hacer tus bebidas (no se bloquea como otras) así puedes disfrutar de tus bebidas en el momento, obviamente en el entendido que a la primera oportunidad correrás el proceso de descalcificación para garantizar la vida útil del producto. Espero que está reseña les sea útil, compré este modelo Delonghi hace casi 1 año porque en mi trabajo hay una super automática Delonghi que tiene más de 5 años de uso sin problemas y mal trato de la gente, prepara aprox más de 120 tazas diarias y no se rinde.

I am giving this product a 5 star review based on what this machine can do if you enjoy and regularly drink fancy coffees. Unfortunately I am not keeping this machine because it doesn't dispense hot milk in the coffee only option. It only puts milk for the cappuccino and latte option. I don't like adding cold milk to my coffee and it is only a 6oz size, I can't get a long coffee out of it so this machine is not the best coffee maker for me. I ordered another DeLonghi coffee maker that dispenses from 8oz to 24oz and and I will use my Nespresso milk foarmer to get the milk I need.

Muy buen funcionamiento, hace muy buen café,

Hay muchas ofertas en el mercado en cuanto a cafeteras se refiere, después de estar viendo características, comparaciones, etc., de muchas de ellas me decidí a adquirir la De'Longhi magnífica Plus, muy satisfecho con mi compra y en verdad que es un placer de disfrutar un buen café, desconocía que cada bebida se prepara muy diferente (pensé que solo era hervir agua y poner café y ya), pero no, existe mucha diferencia entre un café, un Long, un americano, en fin, muy satisfecho con mi compra. Gracias.
