[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DeLonghi Magnifica Plus is like that reliable, tech-savvy bestie who gets you. It grinds beans, froths milk, and brews your perfect coffee, all while making you feel like a pro barista. The customization options are chef’s kiss—you can tweak everything from the strength to the grind size, so whether you need a mild cup to survive toddler tantrums or a strong one to pull an all-nighter, it's got you covered. And let’s talk durability—this machine is built like a tank and ready for the long haul, unlike that blender you broke after one smoothie. Bonus: it cleans itself, which is honestly the dream!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprisingly more compact than expected but truly perfect for smaller kitchens. I love how it’s basically an all in one and there’s no need for multiple gadgets to brew the perfect cup of cappuccino. You can use whole coffee beans (the machine will grind it) AND there’s a built in milk frother! The set up is super easy, there’s profiles for up to 4 people and once it’s set up, you just press buttons and it’ll brew to your liking. Parts are also dishwasher friendly!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This machine is fabulous! It makes so many different types of coffee! Espresso, latte, etc! The display is gorgeous, user friendly and has graphics to show you what’s happening during the process! And it does my frothing FOR ME! Set up was a breeze. Profile set up is great so your preferences are set up and saved for the next…. For each person! I’ll never leave home for my latte again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was absolutely excited when I realized I was getting a Delonghi espresso machine! When I think of this brand, I think quality and durability. Coming from a coffee enthusiast and now turning my fiancé into one, we both know quality when we see it!
We love that this coffee machine is fully automatic and has several settings in where you can brew all types of coffee with the touch of a couple of buttons. We are still trying to figure out all of the settings as we go , but it comes with a detailed manual that will help you make that perfect latte or drink of choice!
This is a pricey machine, but it is worth it because it allows you to brew a handcrafted drink at home and if you think about it, you’re already spending so much at coffee shops that making it at home will help you save so much money!
The machine itself is so beautiful, just a little big and bulky, but totally worth it!
This is a must buy, for all coffee lovers. Thank you Influenster and thank you delonghi!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I will preface this by saying that we have our dream espresso machine already and enjoy a semi-automatic approach, so that did flavor my review a little! I thought this machine was incredibly easy to set up and walks you through all the steps to make the coffee, so it is very user friendly. However, each coffee I made whether it was straight espresso or a latte, seemed too weak for my taste, even when turning it to the max strength setting. I could potentially tweak more settings to try to change this, but that was the biggest downside. This would likely work well for someone who likes to just push a button and have a coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with this espresso machine! I’ve always wanted to make espresso at home, but I’m intimidated by all the steps and technique required to get optimal results. But this superautomatic from DeLonghi does it all for you, so it’s as easy a pressing a button to make coffee shop quality at home. It’s perfect for in the morning when I’m barely awake, running on autopilot, and don’t have the brain power yet to make something complicated.
I love the touch screen and the pre-programmed recipes, making trying new drinks simple. I also really enjoy that I can customize individual drink settings to my taste and have it remember for next time. Multiple profiles mean everyone in the house can have their own settings saved for later. The milk wand dispenses the exact amount for each recipe, which takes the guesswork out of crafting lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and macchiatos. My go-to has to be the americano, and I like to add extra hot water which is easy to do straight from the machine.
The maintenance is relatively low, especially compared to other styles of espresso machines. Be sure not to use beans that are too oily, since the grinder isn’t accessible for cleaning. The screen tells you when to empty the grounds chamber and drip tray, as well as when to clean the milk attachment. I like to keep an empty cup beneath the spout when powering the machine on and off since a bit of water is used to flush the system each time. That way there is less in the drip tray when it comes time to clean it.
The water tank can be a bit finicky to replace when it’s full, so I now just pull it out slightly to expose the opening and refill it while it’s mostly still in place. I really like how the machine tells you when to refill the water, as well.
The hopper areas can be a bit hard to access if your cabinets are close to the top of machine, but my work around is to put the machine on an appliance tray that allows you to move it back out of the way when not in use.
Overall, I am hugely impressed with this machine. I’ve been able to create coffee shop quality drinks with excellent flavor from the very start. The ease of use, build quality, and output are all top notch. Cannot recommend this enough for anyone who wants great espresso at home without a steep learning curve. 11/10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this machine. In no way am I an expert or know a lot about coffee, but I feel so skilled using this thing. First, this machine basically tells you exactly what it needs and how to do it so it makes setting up and using it super easy. It looks so sleek on my countertop like some fancy coffee shop. I really enjoy how it saves profiles and saves how I like certain coffees brewed so it makes it easy the next time I make it. The flavor of the brewed coffee is also good, nice and smooth. This is the only part that takes some learning and getting your drink down right by picking good beans. I mostly make iced lattes but I have tried the milk frother and I love that you can pick the level of froth for your drink. The absolute only drawback is that the machine can be a little loud. Not like construction noise, but you are grinding beans and brewing a drink so it is to be expected. Exceptional machine!
this espresso machine is very handy for a person who is running late every morning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is worth every dollar. The packaging was amazing and inside the box comes everything that you need to start your coffee. The espresso machine was very easy to use once you turn it on. It tells you everything you need to do in order to get the machine working . It’s very easy to use my favorite coffee to make at the moment is the espresso macchiato . this espresso machine is very handy for a person who is running late every morning because it gets the coffee done for you and an instant. One of my favorite parts about it is that it makes up too seven different coffees for you it literally gets it done for you without you having to do nothing. All you have to do is press the button with the coffee of your option and its done for you . I 100% percent recommend this expression machine
