It took me a long time to pull the trigger on this hefty purchase and because there was no indication that it was ok to use with regular beans I was hesitant. My sister has one in Europe that I loved and she uses drip German beans and assured me that I can use regular drip beans. My husband was not convinced. We nervously bought it(no returns) and I have to report that this machine makes the creamiest, smoothest, non bitter coffee ever. The coffee is that good. I use drip beans from Canada which also makes a difference. The machine was so easy to set up and I love how you fill the bean reservoir once a week and the coffee grinds into a reservoir that does not need daily emptying. It also self cleanse everyday after use. It is a big machine so needs a designated space on your counter but it’s a handsomely designed piece. I also love the little side arm frother that actually works on oat milk. I am very pleased with this machine.

Just received the Magnifica XS and am reporting my first impressions of this machine. Beautiful, streamlined well-made machine. Easy to setup. Truly bean-to-cup espresso. First sample was delicious and every bit as good as a Starbucks although I have increased the strength a bit for my next cappuccino. Fully automatic for coffee or espresso and manual for steamed milk, which is just fine at this price point. A breeze to clean the steam wand and the coffee machine cleans itself as needed. If you’re a Starbucks snob like me you like espresso and/or a latte/cappuccino that is not too bitter. So I also recommend Lavazza super crema, which create a beautifully smooth espresso. And if you read the other reviews you will find that the #1 complaint about this machine (and most other espresso machines BTW) is that oily beans can clog the grinder. So use a bean like Lavazza that is proven not to clog and also produces delicious espresso and you can’t go wrong with this machine. Update after 1 month of use: makes best lattes/cappuccinos I’ve ever had using the Lavazza super crema. No clogs in grinder whatsoever. Perfect combination with the Magnifica XS. Update after 3 months of use: still reliably makes best cup of coffee ever. But want to add a tip for maintenance of steaming wand. Repeated removal of plastic tip on wand to clean may make it difficult to slide it back on over o-ring. Suggest you get some food grade silicone lubricant for o-rings (available on Amazon of course) and keep the o-ring lubricated to allow easy reassembly of wand. I also ordered some replacement wand o-rings from eReplacements.com P/N 5313217751 to keep on hand.

We are 2 adults that drink on average 1-2 cups of coffee a day, mainly in the mornings, and we do enjoy a good cup of coffee. So after trying Nespresso cups, Keurig and few other cheaper espresso machines decided its time to invest in a real coffee/ espresso machine. After spending a good amount of time doing online research we have come to the conclusion this is the best machine for our needs. Placed the order, waited full of excitement for the delivery day, unwrapped the machine with great caution, plugged in, put some coffee beans, filled the water tank and waited for the magic to happen....Well....nothing happened...!..How can this be? its the best of the best... Well u can only imagine the disappointment seeing there is power in the machine since the light to notify about the empty tank of water are coming on but this is where the magic stops since the rest of the machine is dead as a door nail... a pretty damn expensive door nail.... Of course this happened on a Friday evening and DeLonghi customer service is M-F regular business hours. Thank god for the amazing Amazon customer service and so the next Monday we had a brand new machine at our door. This one worked from the first try....and what a machine it is... . Normally I would be pretty upset considering that such an expensive machine was faulty out of the box, but the coffee that it makes...makes up for any inconvenience. When you first start using it you have to read the manual...otherwise nothing makes any sense. Its a european brand after all and the various combinations of blinking logos for whenever something needs adjustment or cleaning are not very intuitive. Also programming auto shut off and calibrating for water type in your area requires following instructions. Once you start using it things are pretty straight forward. The great things about this machine: its very compact, quiet, warms up quickly, smooth grinder, makes amazing coffee. When I first bought it I thought I will be using the pre ground coffee a lot more, thinking it will be faster and quieter (when making coffee at 6 am). Honestly it probably takes 20 seconds longer to make coffee from freshly ground beans and it tastes so much better. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Usamos el mismo café en grano que con la otra cafetera, sin embargo el sabor del café mejoró notablemente, el express es realmente exquisito, cremoso y la máquina es rápida, eficiente, fácil de limpiar y usar, sin duda la recomiendo; mucho mejor que la Krups que tenemos y usábamos antes y también mejor que la anterior. Tenemos poco con ella, así que esperemos que no salga com la Krups que terminó siendo carísima en refacciones ya que se descompuso en varias ocaciones. Pero en sabor se la lleva de calle.

Great purchase, been working for 2 1/2+ years without fail! I followed the instructions with the manual and have had no issues since. I replace the water filter every three months and descale as needed, also have set the heat to the highest settings with a fine grind to create the much desired perfect shot. Like others have said, do not use oily (or espresso) beans, as they tend to cause the system to work less effectively, I try to use a lighter/blond roast and never have a problem. The milk frother works great and heats up milk quickly with simple clean up.

This is one of the most GOATED coffee machines you can buy, I've had this machine since march 2018. You get what you pay for, with the price you'll get consistency. I drink about 6 espressos daily, this machine has made thousands of coffees for me over the years. Also, the machine present day is still working without any issues and producing amazing espresso. ONE THING to be mindful of is that if you use Starbucks beans you'll have to guide the beans with your hands as they are too big for the machine, the blonde espresso is fine. IMO, the best coffee for this machine is lavazza crema e gusto and Kimbo.

Desde el día 1 estoy encantado, es muy fácil de usar, prepara unos excelentes cafés y se siente de muy buena calidad... No es para nada ruidosa y espuma muuuuuy bien la leche. Los filtros y demás accesorios no son tan caros y los encuentras fácil en Amazon... El soporte de fabricante parece ser bueno ya que viene toda la información de a dónde acudir cuando tengas problemas. Tenía una Krups superautomática que tuve que devolver y esta se la lleva por mucho.

Llevo un mes con la cafetera y he seguido los pasos y recomendaciones de uso y mantenimiento, sin embargo ya presento su primer falla con el carrete y grupo de infusion (donde cae el cafe molido y se compacta) ya que este se trabo. Llame al centro de atencion y por mas procedimientos de reinicio y mas cosas no se soluciono. Tendre que llevarla a un centro autorizado de mantenimiento para que la revisen. ¡Ni un mes duró!
