De'Longhi Magnifica ECAM222.20.B, Automatic Coffee Machine with Milk Nozzle, Bean to Cup Espresso Machine with 4 One-Touch Recipes, Soft-Touch Control Panel, 1450W, Black

I am extremely happy with this coffee machine. It’s very easy to use and I absolutely love how customizable it is – you can set the temperature, coffee volume, and strength exactly how you like it. The coffee quality is consistently great and tastes just like café-style coffee at home. The milk foam is perfect: creamy, smooth, and ideal for lattes or cappuccinos. I’ve also added a short video so people can hear the noise level during operation; for a fully automatic machine, it’s absolutely reasonable. Overall, this is a fantastic investment for any coffee lover who wants full control over their drink. Highly recommended ☕️

Had this for a while now and it's been brilliant. Grinds fresh beans every time and makes a really decent espresso. Takes a bit of getting used to with the milk frothing but once you've done it a few times it's easy enough. You can take the plastic bit off the steam wand and make proper microfoam if you fancy trying latte art. The machine's quite compact too, doesn't take up half the worktop. Cleaning's straightforward - most bits come out and go in the dishwasher. The waste container holds about 14 used pucks so you're not emptying it every five minutes. Only thing is you need to let it run a few shots when you first get it while it works itself out, but after that it's solid. Makes two cups at once if you want. Well worth the money if you're sick of instant or paying a fortune at coffee shops.

The machine looks good on the counter top. The adjustable coffee spouts are handy when filling a medium sized coffee pot and then adjusting it for a small espresso cup. The top of the machine is flat so handy for storing coffee cups. It takes some time to get the coffee flavour just right, so quite a lot of experimenting is necessary. I used up a good 2 pints of milk and around 20 cups of coffee to get a nice flat white to my taste. Fortunately, it's far cheaper than coffee pods per cup so that didn't break the bank. I found Grind coffee beans to be the best, but they are expensive, so will keep trying brands like Illy to keep cost down. Overall, I'd say this was a good B2C machine and good value. Some things I don't like about it: 1. The steam spout takes some getting used to. Twice now, I've turned it off, then turned it on to get the milk a bit hotter just to find it shoots hot water into the milk. I've had to throw the milk away as a result. There's no indication that what you get out of the spout is steam or water. 2. The machine goes quiet, sometimes for 20 seconds or so. Impatiently I've pressed the coffee button again which confuses the machine, wasting the coffee that's ready to brew. I've now learned to wait. 3. When it switches on or off, the machine purges itself of any water in the system. If you don't put a jug under the spout it just fills up the drip tray which will eventually spill over to your counter top. 4. The displays don't make much sense to me. The only one I use is espresso, which I double up using the X2 button when making a large cappu or big flat white. The other buttons seem to just make weak coffees. Fine I suppose if you like pointless Americanos or graduating from Mellow Birds.

I bought the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Bean to Cup Coffee and Cappuccino Maker (ECAM292.33.SB) a few months ago, and it’s been an absolute game-changer! It delivers barista-style coffee in the comfort of my own home — rich espresso, creamy cappuccinos, and smooth lattes at the touch of a button. The machine is sleek, easy to use, and brings that authentic café taste without the coffee shop queues. Really quick to set up and and get going, takes both Bean and also Ground Coffee, Must admit having a Espresso in the morning certaintly helps waken the senses with and is a really quick way of setting you up for the day, Cleaning the machine is extremley easy, provides you with a warning that it is time to clear. If your looking for a Bean to Cup machine, must admit for the price this is immense.

My brother bought the De’Longhi Eletta, and after trying his machine, I couldn’t resist the Black Friday deals and ended up getting the De’Longhi Magnifica S. I chose this model because I prefer frothing milk manually instead of using an automatic milk frother. The steam wand on the Magnifica S is more powerful than I expected. It’s not quite at café level, of course, but it’s definitely good enough for me. I’m currently using Tesco’s cheapest coffee beans, and despite that, the results are surprisingly impressive. As long as you set the grind a bit finer (around level 2), make the water slightly hotter (yes, this machine allows you to adjust the water temperature), and increase the dose a little, the coffee that comes out is absolutely respectable. The rich crema alone makes my whole morning. To me, there’s not much difference between this and my brother’s Eletta. The only noticeable difference is the noise. The Eletta is genuinely quiet — even the grinding sound isn’t sharp — whereas the Magnifica S is definitely loud. But honestly, since it only makes noise once or twice a day, it doesn’t really bother me.

I don't normally write reviews but I really advise you to read this one, or waste six hours of your life trying to set the machine up, as we did. We got it working, eventually, but the control panel on this monster is a cacophony of chaotic irrationality and implausible illogicality, designed by an infant, or something, which makes a kind of sense once you work your way backwards from the end result, a cup of coffee, no less, but you have to get there first. Until then there's no need to waste time with the instructions. You'll have more luck blindfolded. Indeed don't expect the instructions to be any help at all. In fact they will send you up numerous blind alleyways. But beyond all that there was another issue which we stumbled upon by pure chance and if we hadn't we would have sent it back. Briefly we found something resembling a red plastic three pin UK type electrical plug set between the removable tray at the base and the body of the machine, a plug which you won't find unless you remove the tray, and which you won't find mentioned in the instructions either. The plug is clearly supposed to be there, but why? Up until that moment there was a red flashing warning light - we presumed - which we could not get to switch off. It kind of resembled an extra wide letter U filled with small dots in two horizontal rows. What could it mean? Out of beans? Out of water? Empty coffee grounds? Wrong voltage? Water pressure too high/low? Water still heating? Add limescale remover? Walk the dog? Answer the phone? Sending out a machine of this complexity with completely incompetent and misleading instructions for use shouldn't be allowed, and is something you don't expect of an established company in any field, or of Amazon. Only when we withdrew the tray did we find this bright red plug, for want of a better word, lurking in the bottom left corner, as per the photos. We didn't know what it was, but wondered why it was red. We pushed it, pulled it, and suddenly it came away. Was it supposed to or had we broken the machine? We set it to one side, replaced the tray, and wondered, if it was supposed to be removable, what would happen if we replaced the tray and... Hallelujah! The red warning (?) light went out, after six hours between two people, trying to get the thing to work. So be warned, flashing red light means remove red plastic plug. Why? Absolutely no idea, unless you want to disable the machine without telling anyone, for example if someone breaks in while you're at a wedding, or on holiday. Perhaps someone knows at Amazon, or deLonghi. The really appalling thing is that various lights flash, or give a semblance of life within the machine, even though it's never going to work, until you remove this plug. We rang Customer Experience. Completely useless. They said to send it back to Amazon. How many people have sent this machine back because of this red plug? Is it meant to be there? Is it supposed to be removed at the factory before dispatch? Buy this machine at your peril! Now we have a new problem, which is why whole beans are mixed up with the coffee grounds in the removable tray, and how to prevent it. We're still working on that but rather than send it back just yet, we're going to persevere. We've still got 28 days. We're going to need them,. Having said all that it makes really nice coffee, but you're going to need it, so be warned....

Very nice coffee machines, coffee is teasty , milk frofer is ok , machine is very easy to use, easy to clean and it doesn't make a mess around, makes good americano and fantastic espresso, milk frofer is good but it took me a while to get use to it. Good size, and not loud , witch was important for me. Love this coffee machine.

A great coffee machine. We have had one at home for 10 years that has been to Cairo and back used daily and still going strong. Tend to use just the long black and expresso functions. This one purchased for holiday home. A funny story for the 10 year old machine. Shipped to Cairo after 4 years use, pugged in and would not work. Found a guy who stated could repair it, took the machine in my car to the shop. I was not enamoured with the shop so loaded in the car and took it home. A couple of days later plugged it in and Viola, it worked and has been going strong ever since. Moral being, if the machine stops working take it for a drive in the car !!!! Good value, remove the cartridge and clean the internals every couple of weeks and this will last a long time. Note: I have never used any cleaners in the flushing/cleaning cycle, just fresh water.
