Works ok and easy
My only reason I did not give it a 5 is because, it’s so annoying that every time the machine turns on or off it spills out water. We have to always have a small cup to catch the water. so much waist.

Looked nice, would not prime, had to return.
Received this item. Took it out and set it up as directed by documentation. Unit would not prime with water and therefore would not operate at all. Got tech support on the phone from the company who was nice and helpful, but after troubleshooting with the manufacturer they said to box it up and return.My only real complaint is the return as I understand that there will be manufacturing issues from time to time. But I returned the machine the next day and the process did not allow an exchange. Only option was to troubleshoot or get my money back. I just wanted to exchange and get a new one ASAP but don’t want to be out another $700+ for another 5-weeks until I get reimbursed for the first one.

At last, true double-shots from a super automatic
The manuals, like most these days, are primarily picture books that suggest the way things work. When you go to the intermet for clarification you only reduce the clarity. Finally I just dove in and experimented. The X2 button followed by the espresso button yields a double shot of espresso, as I had hoped. Every oher super automatic I’ve had required two single shots to get the job done.

Good features for the right price for your coffee needs!
I had a Jura which was becoming erratic after many years of service – it would turn off – literally just fade out – and couldn’t track down the problem. I wanted a new machine at a reasonable price for the daily coffee needs – mostly simple, long, decent freshly ground coffee.Many options were twice the price but I’d be paying for features I don’t need.This has plenty of options for various cup sizes and strengths and is an excellent balance of price and function, not bloated with features that will never get used.

Mediocre coffee, bad user interface, high maintenance
Don’t expect to be thrilled with this product once you are through the honeymoon phase. The novelty of an automatically made latte wears off as you realize the quality of the drink doesn’t measure up to the price tag. I’ve adjusted the grind level as instructed in the manual, but haven’t been able to get a drink that isn’t thin and watered down even when selecting the largest bean amount. It ends up going through beans quite quickly.Without a touch screen, it’s quite difficult to navigate the various options in the user interface without having the manual in front of you while you do it. Most are hidden under a layer of “press and hold button x for 5 seconds until led y starts flashing, then push button z.” Some of the more complicated operations (like descaling) are quite involved.Overall, I didn’t feel like this provided the value of the price tag.

For Coffee Lovers
You don’t know what you don’t know…..and I didn’t know that there is a BIG difference between drip coffee and coffee made under pressure. The flavor is so much richer and flavorful. I love love love this coffee maker. I use Real Good Coffee Company Whole Beans Medium Roast and together with this Delonghi, it is a dream cup of coffee. Has the crema on top, is very hot and has a great depth of flavor. Holds a good amount of water and beans. Machine is user friendly and nice to look at too! Very happy with this purchase.

Quite complicated but excellent machine
Complicated set up! The setup instructions are not always clear.After two calls to Delonghi I was finally able to get it right.It does make excellent coffee and espresso once the setup is corrrectly done !

Fabulous Automated Bean to Espresso/Coffee
Love this machine. I have DeLonghi Magnifica but wanted the added feature of automated latte or macchiato and I have not been disappointed. Set up was easy and the espresso is near barista quality from the comfort of home. I only use whole bean and factory preset grind works well with a nice crema. Assuming the Evo will be as reliable as my old Magnifica we will have years of great coffee drinks. Challenge now is limiting my consumption of lattes.

Great coffee machine with easy milk frothing
The media could not be loaded.
Easy to make latter now. We had another magnifica without milk maker which started leaking after 5 years. So we decided to update and try one wirh crema maker. Latter taste is great, froth is great and smooth.

Elegant and useful
This machine looks sleek, works well, and makes great drinks. It makes me feel like I have a coffee shop in my home, which feels luxurious and upscale! I appreciate that you can easily make several hot drinks, as well as choose the “over ice” option. The hot water option is a nice addition as well. The milk piece can be removed or added when needed, which is nice because it can be cleaned and makes the machine less bulky, but it still available to make tasty milk heavy drinks. The parts of the machine come apart easily to clean, and it’s easy to operate overall. I will be leaving this out on my counter and offering coffee to all guests that come over!

Be your own Barista!
The media could not be loaded.
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!

1 year later and we still love the Magnifica!
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

So far? Amazing!
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!

LOVE THIS ESPRESSO MACHINE!
This espresso machine makes delicious coffee, lattes, macchiatos and pretty much anything else you might want. we chose this model because we did not want to have to hand pack and then clean the espresso grindings as we would with the Breville. This grinds the beans and makes the coffee for you without much work, which was our goal. The output from your espresso machine is directly related to the quantity of the beans you put into it in the first place. so use nice beans and you will get coffee from this. Easy to set up and get going – we are really pleased with it.

Very convenient latte & cappucino machine
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.

What a bear to clean… and it runs water through when you’re not there.
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.

Not as big as my other Delonghi-seems cheap
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!

Great coffee maker! But…
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!

I’ve become my family barista!
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.

My favorite coffee at the press of a button
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

Makes Great Coffee!
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!!!

My Favorite New Coffee Shop? My Kitchen!
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.

Fantastically Strong Coffee Drinks
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 works, and easy to use
Best to look for videos on setup. The instructions are not well written for start-up and basic use. The instructions appear extensive, but there are points of departure between the directions and practical application.Have been using the Evo for about three months and it has worked perfectly. You need to constantly maintain and clean it, but that needs to be understood and expected for any coffee machine. While it’s simple to use, it takes that effort to use it.The quality of coffee is good, but it’s not at the same level as high end manual coffee presses. However, if you are looking for an automatic machine that operates flawlessly (at least for 3 months) and makes good espresso and many other coffee drinks, this is a good choice.

Quality coffee maker
The media could not be loaded.
I have been wanting to try out this coffee machine for a while and am glad I got to do so. The fact it makes more than a regular cup of coffee is what first drew me in. It has all the options I could possibly need because sometimes I want something tastier like a latte. It being able to save my favorite recipes is a huge plus. The removable milk frother is very helpful for storing in the fridge until required further. I also appreciate how nice it looks with the black and silver. It’s good quality. I personally recommend.Directions to set everything up is straightforward. Not too hard.

Holy moly
We have owned to DeLonghi Magnificas for the last 14 years and have always been pleased with performance and longevity. We thought we had some of the best coffee around. Then unfortunately her last machine stopped working, and we didn’t want to waste the time or money to repair it. So we bought this new generation Magnifica. Holy moly, we are unprepared for how good this coffee would be. Both the coffee and long espresso drinks, the only ones I’ve tried so far have been magnificent, dare I say better than the coffee we drink in Europe. The crema that comes out his rich and delicious. Thank you Delonghi for making another fabulous machine!

Terrific Machine
I worked for a distributor of institutional espresso machines for 8 years and know a couple of things about them. This machine gives professional results everytime. When set up properly, our shots are timed correctly and provided with a rich crema. The beans grinder and tamper are located internally and I get the perfect grind every time. It’s easy to pick what type of coffee drink you like, but you will need to adjust the grind size for each type of drink. Also, you will have to steam your milk yourself. Find a good you tube video to show you how if you have never done it before so you can have the very best cup of coffee.

Frustrating controls mar an otherwise decent machine
Overall, when maintained correctly (there are actually five separate parts to the milk frother which each need to be removed and cleaned separately which is not at all clear until you dig through the manual) the Magnifica Evo produces a decent cup of coffee.The controls, however, are quite frustrating to use – to get anything above luke-warm coffee you need to go into several layers of lite led combinations – all of which are a pain. The most annoying ‘feature’ is that in order to perform a regular few second milk cleaning you press one button for a couple of seconds – however if you press exactly the same button for just a little longer the machine goes into ‘descaling mode’ which takes a minimum of 45 minutes to complete and is absolutely impossible to cancel – including unplugging the machine – even if you had performed that task just the previous day.Owning this machine is like owning a car where you press a button for a couple of seconds and it gives you the tire pressure or oil level but holding any longer turns on the check engine light which can’t be turned off until you take it in for servicing. For ‘ease of use’ I’d give this machine a 1/5 and for the actual coffee product (after spending your time running unnecessary and uncancelable maintenance routines) probably a 3.5/5.0.

very good espresso machine
Got this machine a few weeks ago. It took me 3-4 failed espresso to find the right grind setting (and you also need to have the right coffee for your own taste…), but once this was done, the result was excellent and it makes fantastic espresso. Only reason I did not gave 5 stars is because the machine is actually really loud when it is pumping water or grinding beans.

Such an attractive espresso / coffee powerhouse!
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!

Excellent Quality
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!

Delicious Coffee…Easy and Fun
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.

A Game changer for Coffee Lovers
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.

My Latte
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!

Chic yet practical
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.

Fast, Easy to Use, and a Great Cup of Joe
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.

Best Automatic Espresso Machine I’ve Owned!!!
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?

Not as complicated as it looks
Due to an excellent full-color getting started guide, I found setup to be incredibly easy for this espresso machine, despite feeling overwhelmed at first. It’s so easy to operate, too, and the pictures on the machine are fabulous as a reference and for guests to use. After an initial 4 espresso runs, which you’re instructed to dump (much less than other espresso machines I’ve dealt with), the machine is primed and ready to go. Each coffee and espresso drink is ground to order (though you can use preground coffee, too), and even your milk will be steamed and frothed. The flavor of the espresso is rich and creamy, strong, but not bitter. It really makes great drinks, coffee included. One machine really can do it all.
