Haven’t used this unit long enough to say how it holds up, and don’t have anything to compare it to…but it is easy enough to use if you just want to make black coffees with it. There are no instructions on how to use the steamer…maybe it is supposed to be intuitive if you’ve used other machines…but as a newbie, it was all trial and error. Beyond that, it clearly advertises here on amazon that steam pitcher is included, but it is not. The box does not have any indication that one is included.

Using it for a month or so , it’s working great. I wish it had some kind of steam more so that I can make my coffee little hot than it heats for my taste

I am thrilled to finally have this machine. It makes delicious fresh coffee and milk based drinks. You will see in my video that I add my favorite creamer before my latte brews. I like mine a little sweet, and that’s what works for me. I have bought some organic syrups and can’t wait to try those, too. It has been so much fun and a delicious experience getting to know my machine.I will try to keep my review list short and simple:Pros:*Makes a delicious coffee beverage (haven’t tried iced coffee yet, but I’m certain it won’t disappoint*Reminds you to clean the milk spout with a touch of a button when finished making your milk based drinks, as you will see in my video*Automatically does a quick rinse of the coffee/water spout when turned on or off, as you will see in my video (always keep a small cup there to catch the water)*Allows to reconfigure settings to your preference and memorizes the settings you chose – I.e. more water, less foam, etc. (you can find videos on how to change settings – super easy)*Has a decent sized water tank that provides multiple drinks before filling up again*VERY easy to learn and start making coffee right out of the box (just be sure to follow initial cleaning steps first)*Accommodates whole beans and ground coffee (be sure to read how to do ground coffee, as the machine is supposed to be on, can’t go over a certain amount at a time, etc. – easy to grasp but I want you to get it right)*Alerts when it’s time to refill water tank or remove coffee grounds from its disposal tank.*Very quick process and well worth the drink – it’s definitely a treat for my husband and me.*Has a hot water feature for teas, oatmeal, etc. You pick how much you need (no preset for that, I don’t think). Just be sure to have the hot water spout attached (original spout that you remove to attach the milk container for milk based drinks)*Very hot temperature, which I love. Just be aware and careful when you first brew and take that first sip. Temperature can be adjusted – just watch a YouTube video or read the manual to learn how.Cons:*Ive only found one, and I could be mistaken. But I don’t recall getting an alert when my beans needed refilled. I am new to ground beans and maybe it expects we know how many we should use. I don’t yet know, so I put enough beans in to cover the base. However, I could tell it was out during one of my drinks because I didn’t hear a strong grind. The drink was not good. Not a big deal, but it’s worth calling out if you’re wondering or like me and a newbie to whole beans. We will get it down!I love this machine, and I am so thankful it was on a deal. We splurged and got it for Christmas for us. My advice – don’t wait another morning without this machine. You deserve this; You won’t be disappointed.

Bought this machine to replace a Saeco Incanto (without auto-milk) that recently died. My number one concern was milk/froth temperature. I used to have to heat milk in the microwave first before frothing with the Incanto otherwise I had to steam it for minutes to get the milk to not be cold/lukewarm. Not on this machine. The frothed milk from the LatteCrema system was sufficiently hot for me even when the milk came directly from the fridge.Pros1. Very easy to use. My wife no longer needs to hunt me down every morning to make her a cup of latte.2. Frothed milk was hot and not lukewarm.3. Easier to clean than the Saeco Incanto.Cons1. No LED screen that can display text. Thus, the manual is required for almost all adjustments/settings.2. Cannot adjust the air/bubbliness in froth.3. No button for just frothed milk.4. The grinder could grind finer to extract more crema.Update 3/3/23: I found a trick to do frothed milk only. Press the button combination to make a latte with pre-ground coffee but don’t put any coffee in the chute. The machine will make frothed milk first and then it will sense that there is no coffee in the chute and the run will be cancelled.

Best tasting coffee even wife gone from her loved coffee bags to de longhi machine . My second one to buy. Cleans itself each time. So easy to use.

Where to start? There are so many good things about the DeLonghi Magnifica Evo coffee maker. This is a sleek looking machine that I am happy to have on my kitchen counter. It is super easy to use and is intuitive. It offers a large water reservoir, cutting down on the number of times one has to refill. The Magnifica Evo can be used with either whole beans or ground coffee, making it one of the most versatile coffee makers on the market. the adjustable brew head can accommodate a variety of large or small cups, making it easy to pull a single shot of espresso, or a larger mug of coffee. It also holds a considerable amount of beans, and is quiet when grinding. This machine also does a pre and post rinse of the brew head, making sure it’s clean and free of any residue. This feature ensures a fresh cup with every pull. The Evo has a LatteCrema system which consists of a milk container and frother. One can add dairy or plan based milk, and make a latte or cappuccino with a single touch. Again, the milk container is easy to use, and can be popped out of the machine and placed in the refrigerator if there is milk left over. There is also a self cleaning function that shoots hot water through the spout, ensuring there is no milk left in the spout to turn sour. The brewing cycle is short, there is pretty much no wait time. One of the best features, it truly is a one-touch system, offering a number of different drinks in an instant. The coffee drinks are smooth and creamy, brewing a really mellow cup without any bitter or acidic notes. The Magnifica Evo is a keeper, a sleek machine that makes a great tasting coffee of my choice, all at the push of a button.

This is an initial review as I’ve only had it set up for a week now, but soo far I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of video reviews on similar machines and settled on the the Magnifica Evo as I don’t need an extensive drink menu, but wanted the convenienceof an automatic machine. Early Prime Day pricing definitely got me off the fence.I followed the quick start guide, which made it a breeze. Setup was very easy, and it just took a few minutes to run the initial cleansing cycles. With the intensity set to maximum, it only took a few pours to dial in the grinder setting to where it didn’t stall the extraction. I do keep a cup under the nozzles to catch the little bit of water it runs in the startup and shutdown cleaning cycles. Otherwise you are dumping the drip tray frequently.I mostly use the “Coffee” button, which I guess some would call Coffee Crema, and it does produce a nice crema on top of the coffee. It’s really quite good. I have run several single and 2X shots, which were all great. I have also used the “Over Ice” function a few times and really like it. We don’t do a lot of milk drinks, but I do like a cappuccino once in awhile and was very happy with the results this machine produced. I’ve been using Costco’s Espresso Roast with satisfactory results. Your favorite beans should do just fine as well. Keep in mind that oily beans don’t do as well in these automatic machines and can cause blockage.All in all, it appears to be everything I needed and expected, and I’m very pleased with it. If you are looking for a similar machine, read and watch plenty of reviews. Know that these things do make a little noise when grinding, and expect to do a little maintenance from time to time. Delonghi makes quality equipment, and properly cared for, this machine should have a good service life. I will update this review if anything worth noting should come up.

Left side of the coffee maker was not snapped shut as shown on the pic . I had already cleaned and started following the start up instructions when I noticed the small gap on the left side of the coffeemaker, the boxes were already in the recycling bin so I decided to keep it. I figured this should not interfere with the function of the machine . I did buy a 4 year extended warranty so I’m ok with my decision.I have been making my Latte Macchiato every morning and loving it tho . I’m still learning the other functions and hope to do My Latte soon after I decide how hot , how much and how intense I want my morning Latte to be.I had a Krups espresso maker decades ago which was too much work with prep and clean up. My recent Nespresso was a total disappointment with the coffee coming out not hot enough. I was advised to warm up my coffee cup in the microwave before brewing my Nespresso coffee which resulted in a few broken coffee cups after repeatedly heating up an empty coffee glass. Needless to say I stopped using that expensive Nespresso . Total waste of money.So far the De Longhi Magnifica Evo is checking off all the boxes on my list… ease of use , choices , intensity and temp, clean up. Hopefully that gap on the left side is the only issue on this machine.

I acquired the coffee machine since few days ago. It has been a literal Game Changer in my morning routine. Previously I had a manual coffee machine from De’longhi. It was tedious but it almost always made a consistently good coffee. Every morning I would take 10 min to do my coffee. Between grinding the beans, warming and frotting the milk, and letting the machine goes to temperature, it was a whole process I started to resent once I also had to take care of a little human being. Now, I start the machine, let it clean itself, plug in the LatteCrema System, and it does its magic! The only thing I regret is not buying it sooner. I tried to do some Ube Latte, and some Almond and Hazelnut milk latte, and it works consistently great with alternative milk or flavored milk. It is a great upgrade for anyone who loves good fresh ground bean coffee without the struggle of making it! Concerning the setup, it took me a good 30 min as you also have to set up the machine depending on the hardness of the water. but the rest was pretty straightforward. So far, I have no complaints and I am utterly satisfied with my new machine.Little note: As it has an automatic cleaning system, you will need a small recipient on the side to catch the water when you start and turn off the machine and when you clean the steam wand for the LatteCrema system. You also have to change some settings if you change the type of beans you are using. You can also use espresso ground coffee using the spoon provided for measurement, but nothing else beats fresh ground coffee though.

I have always wanted to be able to make a coffee shop quality drink without the coffee shop price. This De’Longhi Magnifica Evo LatteCrema System does just that. I can make my favorite coffee shop drinks from the comfort of my home. The whole coffee maker is beautifully designed, it is an eye catching centerpiece to the kitchen now! The water tank and the coffee catcher on the insides are hidden but also easy to remove for filling and cleaning. The machine is easy to use but takes a little setting up and cleaning prior to the first use. You can easily switch from the milk frother spout to the hot water spout depending on your drink of choice. I really love having a clean spout for hot water to easily switch between tea and coffee. The milk frother works really well with my dairy free milks as well! This machine creates the freshest coffee you could imagine! Freshly grinds your beans immediately before use, this gives a deliciously nutty flavor to any cup of coffee! You can even adjust how course or fine you grind your beans. The milk container has the levels of milk necessary for all of your favorite coffee beverages. From a simple shot of espresso to a latte to a stronger over ice brew you will never need the coffee shop again! The machine is easy to clean and the instructions are thorough and easy to follow. I can’t imagine being happier with a coffee maker; I couldn’t have imagined that I could make a cup of coffee this delicious! Now on to practicing my latte art! De’Longhi out did themself with this coffee maker! I highly recommend it!

The machine is easy to use but takes a little setting up and cleaning prior to the first use. You can easily switch from the milk frother spout to the hot water spout depending on your drink of choice. I really love having a clean spout for hot water to easily switch between tea and coffee. The milk frother works really well with my dairy free milks as well! This machine creates the freshest coffee you could imagine! Freshly grinds your beans immediately before use, this gives a deliciously nutty flavor to any cup of coffee! You can even adjust how course or fine you grind your beans. The milk container has the levels of milk necessary for all of your favorite coffee beverages. From a simple shot of espresso to a latte to a stronger over ice brew you will never need the coffee shop again! The machine is easy to clean and the instructions are thorough and easy to follow. I can’t imagine being happier with a coffee maker; I couldn’t have imagined that I could make a cup of coffee this delicious! Now on to practicing my latte art! De’Longhi out did themself with this coffee maker! I highly recommend it!

This is an initial review as I’ve only had it set up for a week now, but soo far I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of video reviews on similar machines and settled on the the Magnifica Evo as I don’t need an extensive drink menu, but wanted the convenienceof an automatic machine. Early Prime Day pricing definitely got me off the fence.I followed the quick start guide, which made it a breeze. Setup was very easy, and it just took a few minutes to run the initial cleansing cycles. With the intensity set to maximum, it only took a few pours to dial in the grinder setting to where it didn’t stall the extraction. I do keep a cup under the nozzles to catch the little bit of water it runs in the startup and shutdown cleaning cycles. Otherwise you are dumping the drip tray frequently.I mostly use the “Coffee” button, which I guess some would call Coffee Crema, and it does produce a nice crema on top of the coffee. It’s really quite good. I have run several single and 2X shots, which were all great. I have also used the “Over Ice” function a few times and really like it. We don’t do a lot of milk drinks, but I do like a cappuccino once in awhile and was very happy with the results this machine produced. I’ve been using Costco’s Espresso Roast with satisfactory results. Your favorite beans should do just fine as well. Keep in mind that oily beans don’t do as well in these automatic machines and can cause blockage.All in all, it appears to be everything I needed and expected, and I’m very pleased with it. If you are looking for a similar machine, read and watch plenty of reviews. Know that these things do make a little noise when grinding, and expect to do a little maintenance from time to time. Delonghi makes quality equipment, and properly cared for, this machine should have a good service life. I will update this review if anything worth noting should come up.

I had decided I was tired of going to coffee shops, spending a ton of money and creating more garbage/plastic in the world. I am so grateful I got this machine as I literally do not purchase any coffee outside of my home (unless traveling). I have found my perfect cup for me is 2 x espresso and 1 latte macchiato makes me a perfect cup. And as far as tea goes, it brews a very delicious cup of tea. You can also adjust the water by pressing it a second time (as first time makes about 4 ounces of tea) and when you have your cup filled to your liking, you press the water button again and it will stop the water flow. The temperature of the water is so critical in making an excellent cup of tea, and this machine accomplishes this beautifully. I do wish I had the option to only steam milk to make a London fog latte ( but I also haven’t really done a lot of research to see if I can accomplish this- to be fair).

Had it for a few days and love the simplicity and taste. Had a cheap espresso maker before that I would grind and tamp my coffee, but this makes way better drinks. Ice coffee is fantastic and cappuccino is also perfect. Couldn’t ask for more so far.

Love the machine! Enjoy the whole bean grinder. The freshness and the how the coffee turns out is amazing! The milk frother is extremely handy. Cleans itself after every cup. I chose this model over other models for the type of grinder it uses. The grinder is more robust and uses a metal grinder vice a ceramic grinder. Of course it’s a little loud, but nothing that is obnoxious. Overall really enjoy this expresso machine. Recommend.

After a year of research, I finally bought this model. NOTE: I am NOT a coffee snob or a connoisseur of coffee to any degree. However, I use this machine every day and am pleased with the product. It is as good as any Starbucks drink. The milk froth is really good IMO. The machine cleans itself before and after each use. Drinks take less than 1 min. Nice user interface. No issues so far. I will update if product malfunctions or breaks as I am a true skeptic of everything …

With cheap beans output coffee is absolutely unsaturated, despite the fact you can make good coffee from cheap beans in dzhezva. So, this machine is more or less good only with very high quality coffee beans.

Sprung for this as an upgrade to my Delonghi Magnifica I’ve had for like 5 years or so, when Amazon had a $300 price drop around Christmas. The old machine is still working perfectly. The main upgrade is the automatic frother. I found the seemingly slight nuisance of manual frothing resulted in me only rarely making a latte or cappucino. With the automatic frother it’s a lot easier, just fill the little container, press the button and done. Froth is perfect every time so far. Afterward just put the container in the fridge for the next time, top it off when needed. There’s a clean button to hit after making a milk drink, it just pumps a little hot water through the system to flush out the milk, just takes a few seconds. The container comes apart into 3 pieces that can go in the dishwasher, though I haven’t done that yet.

I’ve absolutely loved using our new De’Longhi Magnifica Evo coffee machine. This thing is so fast, easy to use, and makes an excellent cup of coffee. We got this machine to replace another whole bean machine, and the Evo blows it out of the water. All you need to do is add beans, water, and milk, and the machine takes care of the rest. We love that there is no need to pack the grinds for an espresso, which seriously sped up our morning routine without any loss of flavour or creaminess. My husband was just saying that we can never go back to packing our own grinds because the Evo is just so much faster.I also love that the machine makes everything fro mixed coffee to cappuccinos, and all in a sleek, modern-looking machine that has a slimmer profile than our last one, which looks great in our kitchen and saves us precious counter space.I also appreciate that there is a large cavity for beans, so we don’t have to refill the machine as often. But I also really like that there’s a port for pre-ground coffee, which enables us to make regular and decaf coffee without switching out the beans. Overall, I have been so impressed with this powerful, versatile machine and I can’t recommend it enough.

I went to Italy and our Friends owned 1 older brand by DeLongi / Expresso Machine. Every morning they made me a cup of Capucchino. Then we stayed with another friends of ours in California and they too owned an older DeLongi Expresso Machine. I was hooked. My research paid off. The reviews were 4-5 Stars. I got one for $499.00 on sale during Black Friday Sales.My husband kept asking “Did you find one yet you like?”.I have and enjoying it every day. I have saved money already, making my own from home instead of buying it from a fancy bakery or cafe. Learning how to function all the buttons takes patience. I am thrilled with my “DeLongi Magnifica Evo”. A gift to myself. My first Expresso Machine. Insuring it is always a good idea.

The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo is an all-in-one brewing station that aims to bring coffee shop style drinks to your kitchen at a more affordable price than many of its competitors. My favorite feature of this machine is the milk container. It’s designed with convenience in mind. You can fill the container at any time and even leave it in your fridge. When you’re ready to make drinks, just attach it to the machine. After making drinks, the De’Longhi will prompt you to run a clean cycle, which you can do with milk still in the container! The wand is steam cleaned and never touches the milk inside. Then you can disconnect the container and put it back in the fridge. No wasted milk! The only downside is that making a large basic cup of coffee isn’t as easy as the other drinks because of the way the machine is designed to make espresso type drinks. One is limited to a smaller cup of regular coffee, so it’s not ideal for filling a travel mug on your way out the door. However, all things considered, this machine does all the drinks listed in the menu system very well, including the smaller cup of coffee. Another thing to note is that although it mentions iced coffee, it still brews the coffee hot, and you add it over your own ice. Other machines can make colder brews, but this isn’t one of them. Another feature I appreciate is the simplicity. It’s a one-button push system, with no profiles for different drinks. They even added a hot water option for tea. This is a big plus for tea drinkers like me who enjoy a strong cup of black tea. The machine makes the water hot enough to brew tea nicely. Most all-in-one systems don’t bother with tea, so it’s great that they included it. Overall, it’s an outstanding machine that will appeal to coffee drinkers who want coffee shop style drinks with simplicity in making them. I was really impressed by how professional this machine made my drinks. I am happy to save money instead of going to the coffee shop every morning.

I purchased this coffee maker for the guys in my shop. Its a huge hit! everyone absolutely loves this thing.However when it came time to descale it, the coffee maker went through its cleaning cycle for about 5 hrs. It wasn’t until one of my technicians found out that the low water sensor was not installed correctly. (We would never get a low water caution light when the hopper was out of water). We removed the side panel and found the low water sensor not secured with a fastener. When we installed the sensor properly the coffee maker continued on with its cleaning cycle as the instructions stated. Emailed customer service and have not heard back yet.But overall great coffee maker!

As someone who starts their day with a cup of coffee I absolutely love this machine! The set up was quick and the quick start up guide was easy to read and digest, the machine is VERY easy to use right away. Aesthetically, the machine is compact and very modern in look and functionality. Now onto the reason why are all here – the brew. I use whole beans and was able to fit a standard bag of coffee in the chamber. You can adjust the coarseness of your grounds for those that enjoy the whole bean experience. There is also a spout to put in pre-ground coffee if that is your preference The Magnifica has several preset options so one press of a button and you get a delicious creamy espresso. The adjustable spout is a great touch and let me make both a cup of regular joe and a gorgeous single shot of espresso. There is also the option to steam milk or run hot water for standalone drinks. I actually used the milk steamer for my oat milk cappuccino and it worked great adding a nice velvet texture. All in all I highly recommend this machine for those that want to a quick and easy cup of delicious coffee as well as those who want to have more choices for their morning beverage.

I am thrilled to finally have this machine. It makes delicious fresh coffee and milk based drinks. You will see in my video that I add my favorite creamer before my latte brews. I like mine a little sweet, and that’s what works for me. I have bought some organic syrups and can’t wait to try those, too. It has been so much fun and a delicious experience getting to know my machine.I will try to keep my review list short and simple:Pros:*Makes a delicious coffee beverage (haven’t tried iced coffee yet, but I’m certain it won’t disappoint*Reminds you to clean the milk spout with a touch of a button when finished making your milk based drinks, as you will see in my video*Automatically does a quick rinse of the coffee/water spout when turned on or off, as you will see in my video (always keep a small cup there to catch the water)*Allows to reconfigure settings to your preference and memorizes the settings you chose – I.e. more water, less foam, etc. (you can find videos on how to change settings – super easy)*Has a decent sized water tank that provides multiple drinks before filling up again*VERY easy to learn and start making coffee right out of the box (just be sure to follow initial cleaning steps first)*Accommodates whole beans and ground coffee (be sure to read how to do ground coffee, as the machine is supposed to be on, can’t go over a certain amount at a time, etc. – easy to grasp but I want you to get it right)*Alerts when it’s time to refill water tank or remove coffee grounds from its disposal tank.*Very quick process and well worth the drink – it’s definitely a treat for my husband and me.*Has a hot water feature for teas, oatmeal, etc. You pick how much you need (no preset for that, I don’t think). Just be sure to have the hot water spout attached (original spout that you remove to attach the milk container for milk based drinks)*Very hot temperature, which I love. Just be aware and careful when you first brew and take that first sip. Temperature can be adjusted – just watch a YouTube video or read the manual to learn how.Cons:*Ive only found one, and I could be mistaken. But I don’t recall getting an alert when my beans needed refilled. I am new to ground beans and maybe it expects we know how many we should use. I don’t yet know, so I put enough beans in to cover the base. However, I could tell it was out during one of my drinks because I didn’t hear a strong grind. The drink was not good. Not a big deal, but it’s worth calling out if you’re wondering or like me and a newbie to whole beans. We will get it down!I love this machine, and I am so thankful it was on a deal. We splurged and got it for Christmas for us. My advice – don’t wait another morning without this machine. You deserve this; You won’t be disappointed.

Worked well for 3 weeks, then began slowly leaking during startup, brewing, cleaning, and powering down cycles. Struck out with manufacturer, Amazon, and the Amazon reseller when attempting to return, replace, or repair. Sent videos and pictures of the unit and got the run around from all 3. Pretty disappointed after reading good reviews.

I am thrilled to finally have this machine. It makes delicious fresh coffee and milk based drinks. You will see in my video that I add my favorite creamer before my latte brews. I like mine a little sweet, and that’s what works for me. I have bought some organic syrups and can’t wait to try those, too. It has been so much fun and a delicious experience getting to know my machine.I will try to keep my review list short and simple:Pros:*Makes a delicious coffee beverage (haven’t tried iced coffee yet, but I’m certain it won’t disappoint*Reminds you to clean the milk spout with a touch of a button when finished making your milk based drinks, as you will see in my video*Automatically does a quick rinse of the coffee/water spout when turned on or off, as you will see in my video (always keep a small cup there to catch the water)*Allows to reconfigure settings to your preference and memorizes the settings you chose – I.e. more water, less foam, etc. (you can find videos on how to change settings – super easy)*Has a decent sized water tank that provides multiple drinks before filling up again*VERY easy to learn and start making coffee right out of the box (just be sure to follow initial cleaning steps first)*Accommodates whole beans and ground coffee (be sure to read how to do ground coffee, as the machine is supposed to be on, can’t go over a certain amount at a time, etc. – easy to grasp but I want you to get it right)*Alerts when it’s time to refill water tank or remove coffee grounds from its disposal tank.*Very quick process and well worth the drink – it’s definitely a treat for my husband and me.*Has a hot water feature for teas, oatmeal, etc. You pick how much you need (no preset for that, I don’t think). Just be sure to have the hot water spout attached (original spout that you remove to attach the milk container for milk based drinks)*Very hot temperature, which I love.

I purchased this espresso machine as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for my coffee-loving wife. Previously, we owned both a Nespresso and a Keurig machine. However, since switching to this new espresso machine, we have experienced significant savings. Instead of buying Nespresso cups weekly, we now only need to purchase a single bag of beans from Costco for just $11, which lasts us the entire month. With five people in our household, including my wife who enjoys two cups of coffee daily, as well as our kids who occasionally indulge in iced coffee, this machine has proven to be a cost-effective solution. We used to spend $20 on Nespresso cups every week, but now, with the beans, a single bag lasts us the entire month. I am thrilled that we made the switch from Nespresso and Keurig machines and have been able to save money while still enjoying our favorite coffee at home. Additionally, the milk frother on this machine is fantastic, and it was one of the reasons I chose this model. My wife and kids love the frothy milk on their coffee, and I do too. Since we have this machine, we haven’t visited Starbucks in quite some time. It’s truly a game-changer for us.

Loved the product while it worked. We initially had some challenges keeping the frothing unit working as desired but eventually cleared that up. Be prepared for a lot of deep cleaning of the frother mechanisms to keep it working correctly. More recently (14 months after purchase), the machine started leaking and we attempted every fix in the manual and from YouTube advisers we could. It’s been **weeks** of back and forth and DeLonghi won’t replace the machine. After each contact with them, we wait several days for a response or next step. We are told to descale again and send another video. Now they say we should wait 7 more business days for them to ship a box to us to mail the unit back so they can repair it. Given the turtle like support so far, I’m guessing it will be another 4-6 weeks before we have a working machine. Extremely disappointing experience for such an expensive product. The pace of the support process is one of the slowest I’ve ever experienced. Seems like delaying is a purposeful they use, unfortunately.

I’ve been a DeLonghi user for over 5 years. This model is a good value. They have improved the espresso machine model by making it simpler to use plus it is quieter than my earlier ECAM model. The footprint is a little smaller which makes it nice on the counetop! I would recommend that you purchase the 4 year extended warranty because I have never owned an espresso machine that didn’t begin to have problems around the 2 1/2 year time frame. My last DeLonghi machine started having issues at year 3. The company does a nice job of fixing the issues and only keeping you without a machine for for about 6 or 7 dyas.

Left side of the coffee maker was not snapped shut as shown on the pic . I had already cleaned and started following the start up instructions when I noticed the small gap on the left side of the coffeemaker, the boxes were already in the recycling bin so I decided to keep it. I figured this should not interfere with the function of the machine . I did buy a 4 year extended warranty so I’m ok with my decision.I have been making my Latte Macchiato every morning and loving it tho . I’m still learning the other functions and hope to do My Latte soon after I decide how hot , how much and how intense I want my morning Latte to be.I had a Krups espresso maker decades ago which was too much work with prep and clean up. My recent Nespresso was a total disappointment with the coffee coming out not hot enough. I was advised to warm up my coffee cup in the microwave before brewing my Nespresso coffee which resulted in a few broken coffee cups after repeatedly heating up an empty coffee glass. Needless to say I stopped using that expensive Nespresso . Total waste of money.So far the De Longhi Magnifica Evo is checking off all the boxes on my list… ease of use , choices , intensity and temp, clean up. Hopefully that gap on the left side is the only issue on this machine.

I went through the quick-start instructions in the booklet when I unboxed the beautiful De’Longhi today. It was so easy to get from box to full-on coffee shop, I was making my first cappuccino in minutes. It was gorgeous and delicious. The foam was light and silky and lasted through to the last drop. I used a clear glass mug that you can see in my picture. I mean, it’s about flavor and savor, but it also is just so pretty to look at with all that foam. The machine is elegant and streamlined, so it looks great and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. In fact, my husband and I are discussing how many of our old coffee makers this one replaces! It does so many things. We don’t need our tea kettle. We don’t need our futzy little espresso maker that took forever to produce a cup of coffee and the foam had to be produced separately while our coffee got cold. I can’t get over that I can wake up in the morning tomorrow and push the picture of the coffee drink I want and have a truly European and delicious start to my day. Just wow.

The coffee that comes out of this machine is straight up amazing. It looks, smells, and tastes like I’m getting it from a gourmet restaurant. I’ve tried one cappuccino so far and that was delicious as well. It took me and my wife a few minutes of playing with it to figure out the buttons and I guess the system needed a cycle or two to start working seamlessly but since we figured it out, it’s been amazing. If you can afford it and appreciate a fantastic cup of coffee or cappuccino, I fully endorse it. My wife has used the tea setting (it heats water very quickly) and we’ll keep exploring with the other types of drinks.You can use either whole ground beans, just be careful that you put the right type of bean in the right spot (they don’t go in the same place). Water level is easy to check, the nozzle adjusts so you can control how foamy you like your coffee (I keep it at the “most foam” level because it’s perfect), and cleaning isn’t difficult but you do want to make sure you understand what parts come off for routine cleaning – for instance, after using milk for cappuccino, you have to clean the milk reservoir and tubes to avoid ganky milk nastiness. It’s normal and it’s easy, you just have to be deliberate and do it. Also, the machine will run a little water through the pipes to keep them clean and while it has a drip pan to catch that sort of thing, I recommend keeping a cup under the spout for simplicity.

When I visit my sister, who lives out of state, she always makes me a cappuccino in the morning. She has a manual espresso machine and frother. The quality of the cup this De’Longhi machine makes is equal to or better than the manual machine’s result. Recently, we were visiting friends in Portugal and they had this machine and made us coffee with it every morning. We fell in love with it and decided to buy one when we got home. We love the variety of choices you have. One of our favorite options this machine has is the separate hopper for a measured amount of already ground coffee. This is great for making a cup of decaf espresso at night. The frothed milk is always perfect and it’s self-cleaning process is great! Buy it! You’ll love it!

Ok, that’ll probably sounds like a click-grabber since it’s the first that I’ve actually owned. But it’s not the first I’ve used and it seems on par with much more expensive machines I’ve frequently used (and drooled over).Set-up was easy and after doing the initial pump-priming I was ready for my first espresso. After the recommended 1st couple of runs I was ready for my first espresso to drink.It took a few tries to get the balance of grind level/coffee strength to where I wanted it (which was expected) but the pulls are pretty consistently where I want them now. My moment of fear was when I chocked it by making the grinds too fine while I had the strength up to max. I calmed down and figured this out after I looked at the troubleshooting to find what the angry little lights meant and dialed back the grind settings and all was fine. Lesson learned: Don’t turn the grind setting wheel too much at a time. Baby steps. My expectation is that if I change the type of beans I’m using I’ll probably have to tweak it, but again that’s expected.Those few times when I want a latte or cappuccino the LatteCrema system is a nice alternative to the more time consuming manual process. I got that option mostly for my wife so she could easily make her own cappuccinos and that alone was worth the price of the option. Fat free milk seems to work best for a thicker foam. Higher fat seems to = bigger bubbles.As others have commented the water container could have been larger. The rinsing cycles will help you go through a lot of water but I appreciate the rinsing to keep all the ‘pipes’ clean. The LatteCrema system also does it’s own rinse cycle which will contribute to the water usage as well. But overall a very small issue and it’s easy enough to refill it. Might be nice if they did an ‘extended’ tank that extends out from the side, but I doubt that we’ll see that.Time will tell on durability. I’m sure taking care of the machine correctly will be a factor in that. As in any automatic device they’re more complicated with many moving parts. Your typical coffee machine has a lot less break points and moving parts than an automated one. As a result it will be important to follow the maintenance directions to keep it running and in tip-top shape.UPDATE: 3 months in and I’m still very happy with the machine, no issues. I’ve been cleaning it monthly and it’s pretty easy. Been putting a new filter in monthly. Personally I’ve found I like the medium espresso roasts with an Arabica/Robusta blend. So far we’ve been using Lavazza beans exclusively because the quality/freshness has been good as has the price point. In three months we’ve gone thru about 6 KG (13 LB) of beans so I guess we’re drinking a fair bit of espresso?

I got that option mostly for my wife so she could easily make her own cappuccinos and that alone was worth the price of the option. Fat free milk seems to work best for a thicker foam. Higher fat seems to = bigger bubbles.As others have commented the water container could have been larger. The rinsing cycles will help you go through a lot of water but I appreciate the rinsing to keep all the ‘pipes’ clean. The LatteCrema system also does it’s own rinse cycle which will contribute to the water usage as well. But overall a very small issue and it’s easy enough to refill it. Might be nice if they did an ‘extended’ tank that extends out from the side, but I doubt that we’ll see that.Time will tell on durability. I’m sure taking care of the machine correctly will be a factor in that. As in any automatic device they’re more complicated with many moving parts. Your typical coffee machine has a lot less break points and moving parts than an automated one. As a result it will be important to follow the maintenance directions to keep it running and in tip-top shape.UPDATE: 3 months in and I’m still very happy with the machine, no issues. I’ve been cleaning it monthly and it’s pretty easy. Been putting a new filter in monthly. Personally I’ve found I like the medium espresso roasts with an Arabica/Robusta blend. So far we’ve been using Lavazza beans exclusively because the quality/freshness has been good as has the price point. In three months we’ve gone thru about 6 KG (13 LB) of beans so I guess we’re drinking a fair bit of espresso?

Ok, that’ll probably sounds like a click-grabber since it’s the first that I’ve actually owned. But it’s not the first I’ve used and it seems on par with much more expensive machines I’ve frequently used (and drooled over).Set-up was easy and after doing the initial pump-priming I was ready for my first espresso. After the recommended 1st couple of runs I was ready for my first espresso to drink.It took a few tries to get the balance of grind level/coffee strength to where I wanted it (which was expected) but the pulls are pretty consistently where I want them now. My moment of fear was when I chocked it by making the grinds too fine while I had the strength up to max. I calmed down and figured this out after I looked at the troubleshooting to find what the angry little lights meant and dialed back the grind settings and all was fine.

I did a lot of research and waited for the price deals on Amazon before buying this machine last November. We have been using it ever since and are very pleased with the performance, flexibility and quality of the espressos, cappuccinos and coffees that it makes.It is very quick to cycle up and produces hot water, about 10-15 seconds, and the whole grind to espresso process takes less than a minute. It is also a lot quiter than I anticipated. We have a cat who doesn’t like loud noises and this has never bothered him.I have also tried making coffee using pre-ground beans and while it works, it doesn’t taste as good. It is pretty much the same taste as making it in an automatic drip coffee machine.There are only two minor things I wish were better. First, it doesn’t take long for the coffee pucks to trigger the sensor that you need to empty the bin. I have seen this happen after only 4-5 uses. The bin isn’t full at all, it just requires you to push the pucks down.Second, while the tray under the machine slides out easily for cleaning, there is always a little bit of coffee grounds at the very back of the tray that can fall out as you remove the tray. This is really more of an annoyance than anything.Beyond that, I would highly recommend this espresso machine to anyone.

We have been using this machine for almost 3 months now. I would have purchased a different machine if I had used this previous to purchase.1. Too much water waste. The machine flushes when turned on and when it shuts off. There is no way to just leave it on. The longest is 3 hours. If you want coffee throughout the day, you may end up turning it on again and it will flush the system again.2. It does not let you know when the water is low. It will make you a partial cup if it is near time to fill. It wastes beans because of this.3. It does not let you know when beans need added. It again, will make you a cup of water when the beans are low.4. We have tried to use the grounds feature and the coffee just slides down into the waste tray. It does not work.5. The milk frother stopped frothing the milk after the first week. It warms it, but does not froth it.We add water to this machine a lot because of the flushing. It is NOT worth the money charged. We like the coffee it makes, but with all the other issues I would not recommend this machine.

I bought this coffee machine in the USA through Amazon.It is still under warranty and this week it stopped working, the coffee grinder turns but is not grinding.I brought this machine to Brazil, however the company that represents the brand in Brazil said that it does not cover the warranty.Please, I would like you to help me, as the machine is too new to present a problem.If you can communicate by email, I can send videos of the problem that is happening.

I don’t write reviews often and wanted to wait about 6 months to see if I still like the Magnifica Eva. So the answer is yes! I shopped various others and at the end opted for this one because it really does make high-level espresso drinks with a ‘one-button’ approach. So here are some pro’s, con’s, and highlights:Pros: Very simple to use once you get past the instructions. They do need to improve these. But it does make excellent coffee with minimal care. You just have to follow the descaling instructions every few weeks. We use it multiple times a day and it has not failed at all. Also it doesn’t consume much counter space.Cons: Well we have all got used to touchsceens with easy instructions. This is not that machine. Harken back to the 2000’s when multi-function buttons were the thing. But once you get used to those, it is very predictable. The water reservoir is a bit on the small side so if you are a big coffee drinker, you will have to fill it daily. Also I haven’t used the foaming milk attachments since I really don’t want to clean those and a battery whisk is much simpler.Pro-tips: 1) Use espresso roast beans. They just work better. The per-cup cost is very low since the grinder is very efficient. 2) The isn’t much useful guidance on the grinding adjustment settings. After much experimentation, I feel that setting the knob to a “5” worked the best for me. 3) Empty the drip tray daily and give it a quick rinse.Overall I am very pleased. While the instructions are a bit archaic, you can can understand them with a bit of effort.

We’ve owned this machine for 7 months now and are still very impressed with the coffee it makes. We use lavazza beans and typically make cafe lattes, but wow that pour of espresso looks and tastes so good. When my wife said she doesn’t even enjoy Starbucks anymore after drinking coffees from this machine, it made my day. Money well spent.

We got our De’Longhi Magnifica Evo with LatteCrema System in December 2023 and it has worked really great up until recently. Beverages are hot and frothing is always perfect. We make sure it is cleaned daily and follow the maintenance instructions; it’s actually not much work at all, it has an easy clean up process. Because of this it is a complete surprise to have it suddenly machine experience trouble recognizing the milk carafe. It has no problem using the clean button when it is connected, but the milk drinks lights no longer turn on when the milk carafe is connected. When I do press the latte button, the clean button light appears and there is an exclamation at top, but even after it finishes the clean process, it doesn’t recognize that the same milk carafe it just finished cleaning is attached. We reached out to support & they helped us resolve this issue (the sensor stopped seeing the milk so we placed a white piece of paper over the bottom sensor as suggested by support & now it works).

Makes great frothy milk for lattes. I would say it has a bit of a chemical taste to the coffee. I don’t think this has to do with the coffee but maybe the way it’s presssed in the machine? It does not layer the milk and coffee like the pictures. It also only makes a very small amount so to get a full come be sure to press it twice. Instructions are complicated.

After a year of research, I finally bought this model. NOTE: I am NOT a coffee snob or a connoisseur of coffee to any degree. However, I use this machine every day and am pleased with the product. It is as good as any Starbucks drink. The milk froth is really good IMO. The machine cleans itself before and after each use. Drinks take less than 1 min. Nice user interface. No issues so far. I will update if product malfunctions or breaks as I am a true skeptic of everything …

Received the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo in time range specified, packed super well and LOVE the coffee it produces. Was worried when read reviews about difficulty setting up but no problem at all. Just read the instructions through before starting and it is easy. We use RO water and coffee and espresso are wonderful (love the crema!). I have to stop myself from making it all day long so that I am not up all night.

I don’t think I’ve ever opened a package faster than I did with our De’Longhi Magnifica Evo! This machine is a beauty. The instructions to put her together properly were pretty easy, and everything you need (aside from espresso beans and milk), is included. From box to espresso, it probably took me 20 minutes. I LOVE that you can make coffee or espresso drinks, or you can utilize this machine as a hot water source (I’m looking at you, tea). It’s fabulous. Since setting it up yesterday, my husband and I have had at least 6 cups of coffee. It’s absolutely splendid. If you want an easy way to enjoy barista level espresso and coffee, please do yourself a favor and buy this beauty. You will not regret it!

Not only does it make great lattes and cappuccinos but it also makes great foam and if you just add a little bit of syrup to the milk it even enhances the taste by whatever flavor you want it also makes a great cup of coffee either ground or with whole bean the settings let you set exactly the way you like it as far as temperature and strength I found that what worked best was the factory defaults wife like that the most because she could run it without having to be a computer scientist

This is an initial review as I’ve only had it set up for a week now, but soo far I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of video reviews on similar machines and settled on the the Magnifica Evo as I don’t need an extensive drink menu, but wanted the convenienceof an automatic machine. Early Prime Day pricing definitely got me off the fence.I followed the quick start guide, which made it a breeze. Setup was very easy, and it just took a few minutes to run the initial cleansing cycles. With the intensity set to maximum, it only took a few pours to dial in the grinder setting to where it didn’t stall the extraction. I do keep a cup under the nozzles to catch the little bit of water it runs in the startup and shutdown cleaning cycles. Otherwise you are dumping the drip tray frequently.I mostly use the “Coffee” button, which I guess some would call Coffee Crema, and it does produce a nice crema on top of the coffee. It’s really quite good. I have run several single and 2X shots, which were all great. I have also used the “Over Ice” function a few times and really like it. We don’t do a lot of milk drinks, but I do like a cappuccino once in awhile and was very happy with the results this machine produced. I’ve been using Costco’s Espresso Roast with satisfactory results. Your favorite beans should do just fine as well. Keep in mind that oily beans don’t do as well in these automatic machines and can cause blockage.All in all, it appears to be everything I needed and expected, and I’m very pleased with it. If you are looking for a similar machine, read and watch plenty of reviews. Know that these things do make a little noise when grinding, and expect to do a little maintenance from time to time. Delonghi makes quality equipment, and properly cared for, this machine should have a good service life. I will update this review if anything worth noting should come up.

I purchased this espresso machine as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for my coffee-loving wife. Previously, we owned both a Nespresso and a Keurig machine. However, since switching to this new espresso machine, we have experienced significant savings. Instead of buying Nespresso cups weekly, we now only need to purchase a single bag of beans from Costco for just $11, which lasts us the entire month. With five people in our household, including my wife who enjoys two cups of coffee daily, as well as our kids who occasionally indulge in iced coffee, this machine has proven to be a cost-effective solution. We used to spend $20 on Nespresso cups every week, but now, with the beans, a single bag lasts us the entire month. I am thrilled that we made the switch from Nespresso and Keurig machines and have been able to save money while still enjoying our favorite coffee at home. Additionally, the milk frother on this machine is fantastic, and it was one of the reasons I chose this model. My wife and kids love the frothy milk on their coffee, and I do too. Since we have this machine, we haven’t visited Starbucks in quite some time. It’s truly a game-changer for us.

With the intensity set to maximum, it only took a few pours to dial in the grinder setting to where it didn’t stall the extraction. I do keep a cup under the nozzles to catch the little bit of water it runs in the startup and shutdown cleaning cycles. Otherwise you are dumping the drip tray frequently.I mostly use the “Coffee” button, which I guess some would call Coffee Crema, and it does produce a nice crema on top of the coffee. It’s really quite good. I have run several single and 2X shots, which were all great. I have also used the “Over Ice” function a few times and really like it. We don’t do a lot of milk drinks, but I do like a cappuccino once in awhile and was very happy with the results this machine produced. I’ve been using Costco’s Espresso Roast with satisfactory results. Your favorite beans should do just fine as well. Keep in mind that oily beans don’t do as well in these automatic machines and can cause blockage.All in all, it appears to be everything I needed and expected, and I’m very pleased with it. If you are looking for a similar machine, read and watch plenty of reviews. Know that these things do make a little noise when grinding, and expect to do a little maintenance from time to time. Delonghi makes quality equipment, and properly cared for, this machine should have a good service life. I will update this review if anything worth noting should come up.

This is an initial review as I’ve only had it set up for a week now, but soo far I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of video reviews on similar machines and settled on the the Magnifica Evo as I don’t need an extensive drink menu, but wanted the convenienceof an automatic machine.

Love the coffee and the options. That’s why we bought it.Not so impressed with the frequency of “descaling” and customer service was terrible! I bought it in early December. My husband opened it Christmas morning. January 15 the I reached out to customer service because the milk carafe had a crack. I was told it’s more than 30 days old too bad. Not impressed.

I purchased this espresso machine as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for my coffee-loving wife. Previously, we owned both a Nespresso and a Keurig machine. However, since switching to this new espresso machine, we have experienced significant savings. Instead of buying Nespresso cups weekly, we now only need to purchase a single bag of beans from Costco for just $11, which lasts us the entire month. With five people in our household, including my wife who enjoys two cups of coffee daily, as well as our kids who occasionally indulge in iced coffee, this machine has proven to be a cost-effective solution. We used to spend $20 on Nespresso cups every week, but now, with the beans, a single bag lasts us the entire month. I am thrilled that we made the switch from Nespresso and Keurig machines and have been able to save money while still enjoying our favorite coffee at home. Additionally, the milk frother on this machine is fantastic, and it was one of the reasons I chose this model. My wife and kids love the frothy milk on their coffee, and I do too. Since we have this machine, we haven’t visited Starbucks in quite some time. It’s truly a game-changer for us.

Wow, what a difference I’m actually drinking coffee now, didn’t know what I was missing. The De”Longhi Magnifica Evo is very easy to operate. Just start with the coffee beans which you can grind to your like then you are off and running. I made regular coffee first and can’t wait to experiment with all the possibilities. I’ll keep you posted as I do. Now I know the difference between a latte and a cappuccino before then I thought coffee was coffee! The one-touch My Latte feature is my go-to button! I was a little intimidated and hesitant after reading the instructions but once I got started it was simple your like Oh, okay! I was asked a question about long coffee, so I made some wow what a kick!, I’ll stick to my latte. The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo is very easy to clean so don’t worry about bean build-up, just pull open the front drawer and dump! Like I said I was just drinking coffee now I drinking COFFEE, lattes, cappuccinos, whatever my heart desires! The more I use the machine the more I like it!

We purchased this Espresso machine to help us stop our Starbucks Addiction. We are happy to report that we are overwhelmingly happy with this Espresso machine. Just make sure to dial in as the manual instruct and get proper beans And syrup if you like specific taste from Starbucks.

Good, dependable quality without Las of unnecessary extra features that we will never use!

Machine works well. The milk frother stopped working but I contacted Support and they identified the problem as well as provided detailed instructions on how to clean the milk frothing system. Additional information on cleaning cycles for the frother would be helpful.

I read all the reviews, advice, tutorials, and manuals. I went in prepared with reasonable expectations and was ready to make the adjustments. I was totally blown away. First, I followed the instructions: read all the instructions before unboxing (manual is on the companies website along with a video of a walk through of the process). I had a Saturday morning set aside for set up prepared to make lots of adjustments, so Friday night I unboxed and did my water prime. (Hint- the water filter is a bit tough. I ended up priming without it and coming back to it in the morning. If the filter light won’t stop flashing it’s not o all the way. Also, it flushes a LOT of water after install, empty your basin before doing this step, I overflowed.)Next I set up the espresso settings. Waste at least 3 shot of espresso, then brew a shot to judge BEFORE you make any adjustments to brew strength or grind size. The system needs 3-4 shots to get ready. I didn’t have to make any adjustments. My espresso came out beautiful, just like the picture tasting amazing with a light fruity finish -(Lavazzo espresso Barista Gran Crema whole bean).Last I set up the Lattecrema system. Lots of reviews say it doesn’t make much froth, but all I had in the house was lactose free skim milk and my macchiato had an inch of foam on top.All of my drinks have been piping hot, and even my plain cup of coffee had a head of crema offer brewing.I’m kind of in love with this machine. I’ve named him. I’ve had way too much coffee this morning.I have always wanted a coffee maker like this and it has definitely lived up to the hype!

We owned several espresso machines since 2001, we had a Saeco for nearly twenty years till it ran its course, then we purchased a Breville which had problems with the electronic board. Breville sent us a replacement machine which had the same issue within just few weeks. We purchased the Delonghi Magnifico Evo which is a wonderful machine, very easy to use and so far it has been problem free. It takes whole beans and pre ground coffee. The only drawback is that the water reservoir could have been a bit larger. Delonghi Magnifico Evo is a well built machine and is a great value for the price, we love it.

This appliance is great after you go through literally several rounds of qualifying adjustments. Once you make an adjustment it takes a few rounds for equipment to adjust and there were times it has red lights turning on many times thinking you got a defect. Be patient. It took about 30-40 mins to go through adjustments tweaking and then equipment qualification runs before you got the best tasting coffee. The coffee crema for espresso was fabulous.Here are some notes to consider like others pointed out:1) do not miss the priming for the very first time. Does take about half of the water tank and it does take about 15 mins. When you turn the steamer dial I turned it until it clicked and nothing happened. Just turn it to the left but don’t turn it as far as the click. Hot water will stream out for a long time making you think this is wrong. It is not. It’s priming the appliance to go through parts of the appliance for the first time.2) adjusting the coarse or fine for grinder is on the daisy wheel inside the grinder. Keep in mind when it’s grinding that’s when you adjust. Then run it twice for the appliance to register new settings. Really follow the page 9 direction on what it should look like flowing like honey.3) turning off the appliance sets it into auto cleaning so keep a mug underneath for water to spit out after a cleaning cycle.Once you got the adjustments there’s nothing like freshly ground coffee brewing. The crema was great and we used lavazza coffee super crema beans as well as Lilly brands. Of course we used almost half of the bag just adjusting and getting used to the controls. I was getting impatient but finally the appliance went through its steps and now works flawlessly.It’s Italian engineering and is UL listed. So the way Europe establishes controls are different than what is Americans are exposed to. But it is a very sophisticated system with learning capability.

I ordered this machine on December 11th 2022. Up until a few days ago it worked just fine. Now it won’t make lattes, espressos, or any coffee whatsoever. The problem started after I hit the descaling button. From that point forward the machine locked. I followed instructions in the manual in an effort to descale the machine even though I had not been alerted by the machine that this was necessary. The machine would not start the descaling process. I tried to reset the machine to factory standards again following instructions in the manual I received with the machine to the letter,but the machine would not do that.I went online to check obtain information I provided when I registered the machine within 14 days of the date I received it. After signing in there was no sign that my machine was ever registered even though I have an email confirming successful registration.While on the Delonghi site I checked to see if I have the right owners manual.The owners manual that came with My machine lists three different model numbers but not mine.My search indicated that the model that I own was no longer being serviced and there was no owners manual to be found. The model number on my Amazon invoice and on the bottom of my machine is ECAM49043SB.I spoke to two service representatives and neither could find my registration but acknowledged that I did register it after I sent them my purchase invoice and email from Deloghi confirming registration. Neither of the reps I spoke with could find my model or its owner manual on the Delonghi web site.I will be calling Delonghi back tomorrow and asking for a new machine and not a refurbished one. If they refuse I’ll also be contacting Amazon.I owned this machine’s predecessor and used it daily for 10 to 12 years before it died. That’s why I decided to buy another one. I guess you can say they don’t make them like they used to.Stay tuned. I’ll let you know how Delonghi and/or Amazon respond to my warranty request.

Loved the many features of this coffee maker. Especially easy to clean. BUT: Cannot get the coffee to the desired hot temperature after many attempts. Just does not make coffee, hot enough.

I really like this machine. I’ve been using it for about a month now and slowly learning all the features. It’s easy to use, lots of choices for beverages, and the milk steamer is great. The machine is a bit loud but I love that it grinds the coffee beans with each drink. Definitely worth the investment.

Product broke and had to spend hours on phone with customer service to get repaired. Came back damaged cosmetically and side panel not inserted. Customer service blamed shipping when clearly it wasn’t possible. No compensation or apologies. Just we will send you a label. For a brand that’s related to high quality this isn’t. The amount of time spent dealing with this is unacceptable. Beware.

Customer service blamed shipping when clearly it wasn’t possible. No compensation or apologies. Just we will send you a label. For a brand that’s related to high quality this isn’t. The amount of time spent dealing with this is unacceptable. Beware.

The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo™ with the LatteCrema system is easy to work. The packaging is really secure and they have package it really well. Next was getting all the tape off and washing the different removable parts with warm water and a mild detergent. Finally, it was time to make some magic happen. We plugged it in and got it primed, that step is simple to do. Next, we added our beans and the LatteCrema system and made a wonderful cappuccino. It was a bit noisy at every step of the process from grinding to brewing, but so worth it for the drinks that it produces! Overall, it worked wonderfully and made very delicious drinks. It has a rinse feature to help clean out the extra milk from the LatteCrema system, such an added bonus. Once done brewing it disposes of the coffee grounds in a little bin, you take the bin a dump the grounds and away you go! The machine came with a water hardness tester, water filter, and some descaler. Very impressive machine! I highly recommend this for anyone wanting speciality drinks at home it can just do hot water too.

Works well but every time it operates it sounds like it’s breaking the sound barrier. Very loud…like fighter jet loud. Also, it doesn’t work well with foaming cashew milk (almond and soy are fine), and you cannot make a large latte on one run, you must make two lattes to equate to large. Otherwise suppose the machine warrants the high price.

As mentioned in the title I really like the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo. The coffee machine is easy to use and almost makes you feel like a barista at home. With all the pre-programmed coffees the machine is easy to use and requires no complicated setup before usage. Even the ‘simpler option’, making hot water for a tea, is really nice to use as before this machine we always heated some water in a pan.Additionally I also really like how easy it is to clean the machine, whereas with other machines this can be a hassle the Magnifica Evo has a built in program that requires minimal manual work. Same goes for the separate milk tank, when you are not using milk for your Latte’s you easily detach the separate milk tank and store it in your fridge.The only ‘issue’ I had with the coffee machine was the setup of the water reservoir, which comes with a cleaning bottle that needs to be filled with water separately and then be attached in the exact right way to not get an error on the machine. However, after watching a video on YT this problem was quickly solved.Overall me and my family are really enjoying this coffee machine and it is a joy to make coffee every morning!

This machine is everything I hoped it would be. It makes delicious drinks quickly at the push of a button and takes care of its own cleaning. My only complaint is that I can’t easily change beans. Now that I can make espresso so easily I want to drink it all day but can’t switch to decaf without using preground coffee, which doesn’t come out nearly as good. I might just make it a decaf machine permanently and get my caffeine some other way!

The maching is simple to use, for more advanced use keep the manual close as some of the buttons have multiple uses when in menu mode. It was dialed in from the onset, no grind changes needed. It’s very easy to clean and maintain. A friend has a popular Jura model, but this machine makes better foam and the drink tastes better. Just buy it. No need to spend more. Most users only make one or two drinks so having a menu of 10+ or something is not needed although this has quiet a few drink options.

I really like this machine. I’ve been using it for about a month now and slowly learning all the features. It’s easy to use, lots of choices for beverages, and the milk steamer is great. The machine is a bit loud but I love that it grinds the coffee beans with each drink. Definitely worth the investment.

In early 2012 we bought a DeLonghi Magnifica at a specialty shop for what seemed like a ridiculously exorbitant price at the time. Little did we know how our coffee tastes would change because of that machine. On June 27, 2024 our beloved Magnifica died. I know people who have had less mourning at their passing than that coffee maker.It was such a hard working appliance! I calculate that with the tons of company we hosted, breakfast every morning, brunches, afternoon and evening coffee, it made close to 40,000 cups of coffee over 12.5 years – every one as good as the last. I cleaned it regularly and was obsessive about descaling, but honestly, it was just that well built.So when it came time to replace it, we knew what we wanted. It had to be a DeLonghi. Our replacement machine came today, after a week of suffering through Keurig pods (no offense to Keurig) and already I’m such a happy camper (see cup in my photo). The coffee is just as delicious, operating it is so easy and familiar, and we can only hope we won’t need to replace it until 2036. So happy.

The only down side was that when I received it had some broken plastic parts, nothing that impeded the function of the unit but still broken Tray parts and bent plastic. But the machine is great, my wife and I like it.

Really like this machine, 8/10. If you want to taste a craft coffee roasters but wish that the barrista would make it for you – this is a great match. Things to consider:1) READ THE MANUAL – this machine is very sensitive and it needs a person who follows the instructions, especially during the decalc function2) NO GRINDING FLEXIBILITY – if you change the grinder’s setting, it will take at least 4 espressos to adjust to the grinding.3) DON’t EXPECT VERY HIGH PRESSURE – this is a vibratory propulsion system and you can’t experiment with the coffee that is ground super finely

Makes great coffee the best part of this machines if you use the milk option it cleans the system after every use before you put in fridge to me thats one of the biggest thing that separates this machine from others. I wish you could fine the coffee a bit more though I understand it could strain the brewer and even clog it but it’s a tad bit finer this would be one of the best machines out. This coming from someone owed Lavazza blue, Phillips, bean to cup, and a rancillioOne love

I’ve owned a few days over two months. and product delivers hot (not scalding) drinks made to excellent standards. For the best results use the best beans, water, double walled glasses. Truly fully automatic.Not complicated but follow directions carefully. Downsides: not a lot of experimentation allowed. Yes you can program a double – but it’s easier to just drop in a second shot of expresso.. Also, Use coldest & freshest 2% milk (or preferred substitute) in creamer and don’t store overnight in creamer supply container. Use best supplies and clean/descale etc on schedule or ahead of schedule. If warning indicator comes on – First check water and bean supply, and be sure creamer/foamer is attached firmly. Great product so far.

Makes great espresso drinks and coffee. The frother makes a perfect cappuccino at the touch of a button. It automatically cleans the coffee spouts and frother at the end. Highly recommended.

My first impression with this machine is that it is easy to get started! I literally went from unboxing to a finished latte within 10 minutes. Reading the directions is important to know everything available but you can also be a success with just a push of any button.I’ve tried every option of drink and all have so much flavor and the milk foam is perfect. I use dark roast whole beans and half & half milk which I think produces the exact latte I’m looking for with such little effort! One thing to be mindful of is that my usual tall on-the-go coffee cup does not fit under the spout. I remedy this by making it in a shorter cup and pouring it in to my larger one if I need to leave.Cleaning the machine and getting ready for the next day is as easy as a touch of a button!

It makes great coffee. If you have a staff to deal with it, buy one.- When first the power button is hit it cycles water through it. Smart to have a mug ready to catch that water as it comes out the spout.- Randomly long after it’s done making the coffee it cycles water through it. Yes, it looks totally off but then turns itself on, runs water through it, etc. Smart to have that same mug ready to catch that water.- The grounds are deposited in two piles. Whole bean “patties” are in the bin and easy to remove. Pre-ground sit in the back of the “drawer” that has the discarded water in it (from the first two comments here). Good luck emptying the water without getting grounds everywhere OR good luck throwing away the grounds without getting water everywhere.This was poorly designed. I’m tempted to 3D engineer a drawer-within-a-drawer to collect the pre-ground coffee grounds so those can be tossed without spilling water everywhere. If anyone else has a better answer please share.

We have used a DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM for over 15 years. The first one lasted over 10 years, the second one still works great, but we decided to give it to our daughter and buy the Maginfica EVO. Wow what an upgrade from an already great coffee maker. It is so easy to use, to clean and to program. Steams milk automatically and perfect every time. Well worth the extra $100 for the LatteCrema System.Now our only issue will be when our daughter and son-in-law visit and see our new one and wonder why they got the old one and not this one… OH WELL, such is life, and right now our life is blessed with a great coffee maker!!!

I ordered this machine on December 11th 2022. Up until a few days ago it worked just fine. Now it won’t make lattes, espressos, or any coffee whatsoever. The problem started after I hit the descaling button. From that point forward the machine locked. I followed instructions in the manual in an effort to descale the machine even though I had not been alerted by the machine that this was necessary. The machine would not start the descaling process. I tried to reset the machine to factory standards again following instructions in the manual I received with the machine to the letter,but the machine would not do that.I went online to check obtain information I provided when I registered the machine within 14 days of the date I received it. After signing in there was no sign that my machine was ever registered even though I have an email confirming successful registration.While on the Delonghi site I checked to see if I have the right owners manual.The owners manual that came with My machine lists three different model numbers but not mine.My search indicated that the model that I own was no longer being serviced and there was no owners manual to be found. The model number on my Amazon invoice and on the bottom of my machine is ECAM49043SB.I spoke to two service representatives and neither could find my registration but acknowledged that I did register it after I sent them my purchase invoice and email from Deloghi confirming registration. Neither of the reps I spoke with could find my model or its owner manual on the Delonghi web site.I will be calling Delonghi back tomorrow and asking for a new machine and not a refurbished one. If they refuse I’ll also be contacting Amazon.I owned this machine’s predecessor and used it daily for 10 to 12 years before it died. That’s why I decided to buy another one. I guess you can say they don’t make them like they used to.Stay tuned. I’ll let you know how Delonghi and/or Amazon respond to my warranty request.

If they refuse I’ll also be contacting Amazon.I owned this machine’s predecessor and used it daily for 10 to 12 years before it died. That’s why I decided to buy another one. I guess you can say they don’t make them like they used to.Stay tuned. I’ll let you know how Delonghi and/or Amazon respond to my warranty request.

I ordered this machine on December 11th 2022. Up until a few days ago it worked just fine. Now it won’t make lattes, espressos, or any coffee whatsoever. The problem started after I hit the descaling button. From that point forward the machine locked. I followed instructions in the manual in an effort to descale the machine even though I had not been alerted by the machine that this was necessary. The machine would not start the descaling process. I tried to reset the machine to factory standards again following instructions in the manual I received with the machine to the letter,but the machine would not do that.I went online to check obtain information I provided when I registered the machine within 14 days of the date I received it. After signing in there was no sign that my machine was ever registered even though I have an email confirming successful registration.While on the Delonghi site I checked to see if I have the right owners manual.The owners manual that came with My machine lists three different model numbers but not mine.My search indicated that the model that I own was no longer being serviced and there was no owners manual to be found. The model number on my Amazon invoice and on the bottom of my machine is ECAM49043SB.I spoke to two service representatives and neither could find my registration but acknowledged that I did register it after I sent them my purchase invoice and email from Deloghi confirming registration.

The machine is very easy to set up. The instructions are easy to understand and follow, so I had no issues during set up. The water tank is located on the side and pulls out conveniently the front and you can add an optional water filter to it. You have an option of using whole or ground coffee beans. Once I finished setting it up, I thoroughly tested and tasted each type of preprogrammed coffee drinks and it came out perfect each time. The only issue is it’s a bit too noisy when grinding the coffee but at least it’s a fresh cup of coffee each time and you can adjust the temperature and coarseness of the beans to your likeness. All parts of the machine are easy to take apart and wash. If you want professional barista quality coffee drinks at home this machine is a worthy purchase!

Doesn’t take as much counter space as my old Delonghi Magnifica, but doesn’t seem as sturdy. I like where the grinder is housed. I have to use the steam vent twice to make latte. The instructions are horrible. It took us hours to figure out how to descale. Hope we did it correctly. Also, didn’t come with the water filter that it said was enclosed. I wonder if we got one that was returned. Next time I will buy directly from Delonghi!

In early 2012 we bought a DeLonghi Magnifica at a specialty shop for what seemed like a ridiculously exorbitant price at the time. Little did we know how our coffee tastes would change because of that machine. On June 27, 2024 our beloved Magnifica died. I know people who have had less mourning at their passing than that coffee maker.It was such a hard working appliance! I calculate that with the tons of company we hosted, breakfast every morning, brunches, afternoon and evening coffee, it made close to 40,000 cups of coffee over 12.5 years – every one as good as the last. I cleaned it regularly and was obsessive about descaling, but honestly, it was just that well built.So when it came time to replace it, we knew what we wanted. It had to be a DeLonghi. Our replacement machine came today, after a week of suffering through Keurig pods (no offense to Keurig) and already I’m such a happy camper (see cup in my photo). The coffee is just as delicious, operating it is so easy and familiar, and we can only hope we won’t need to replace it until 2036. So happy.

12 month update: We still absolutely love the De’Longhi Magnifica. No issues whatsoever. Guests all rave about how simple the machine is to use, no one needs to clean a portafilter, and drinks taste wonderful. Price has dropped over the past year, it’s totally worth it!3 Month Update: Still loving the De’Longhi Magnifica. Zero issues using it. It’s fast, straightforward, and worth every penny.Here’s my coffee journey through many, many years: Mr. Coffee –>mini-espresso–>French Press–>pour over—>Keurig–>Breville–>De’Longhi.I LOVE this De’Longhi Magnifica! If I had to narrow it down to one reason, it’s that I do not have to wash a portafilter each time I make espresso! Honesty, this is worth every penny. We make 2-6 espressos or coffee nearly every day and some days I would just skip the drink if I have to wash everything again.Not only does this Magnifica deal with the portafilter for me, I can make a plain cup of coffee, tea, or use other grounds to make any drink.You can make espresso drinks (hot/cold), coffee, tea, froth milk. So many options in one machine with very little clean up.At first I was a bit overwhelmed with the buttons, but a little practice and it was a cinch! The espresso taste great and the options are outstanding.One complaint (which is really minor): the water reservoir is small and must be added to often (lack of water can disrupt a pour). Every night, after my tea, I fill the water reservoir and the beans to be ready for the morning. I dump the grounds every 3-5 days (the machine will notify you) and wash everything that needs it.When you turn on and off the machine, it will run a quick clean cycle. Place a small glass or pitcher underneath and then the tray won’t fill up as quickly.My first espresso machine was the Breville, which I have loved for years. I’ve retired it for this one and I love the Magnifica!*This machine does not come with a milk pitcher.**The first machine we got had an issue with the steam/water. Anytime we used the steam/water, the machine would freeze for 20-30 minutes! I requested a replacement and that issue did not come up with our new machine.Review for De’Longhi ECAM29043SB Magnifica Evo Coffee and Espresso Machine, Silver

This was a very special purchase and the seller assured us the policy was the same as Amazon. We are enjoying the high quality of our new machine. Love it.

Makes great frothy milk for lattes. I would say it has a bit of a chemical taste to the coffee. I don’t think this has to do with the coffee but maybe the way it’s presssed in the machine? It does not layer the milk and coffee like the pictures. It also only makes a very small amount so to get a full come be sure to press it twice. Instructions are complicated.

I just got this yesterday, took 20 min read the instructions. Followed the easy cleaning steps with pictures lol. I’ve made 9 different coffees so far. My family all love it, my daughter said the coffee house down the street has just been replaced! So good, fresh and just the way I want it with no expensive disappointments! Girls you know, as soon as you see your barista hand you your coffee you can tell if it’s right by the color and dang it when you know it’s wrong because you just paid $7+ for something you’ll choke down or trash, right? Well no more! This right here is stopping all of that! I read comments on here, it does clean before and after, I just keep a coffee cup near it, put it under the spout when I start it and but it back under when I’m done and boom! trust me, I’m happy that it does it. I don’t want to take it apart after every coffee! Super excited about this machine! Glad I finally just said no more to disappointing coffee! Can’t wait to see what I create tomorrow! Need to learn coffee art lol
