[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to try this espresso machine out. My daily machine is a Jura that is over double the price of this one, so I may have higher standards. First of all, it seems to be made just as well as the Jura. The touch points and screen are functional and feel like they’ll hold up well over time. The milk aspect is really easy to use and I think better than the jura’s system. It is really hard to dial in the machine for great tasting coffee, however. I ended up with a lot of sour coffee despite trying different settings and beans. If this is all your budget can afford and you’re patient, this is a good option. I found myself reaching for my other machine, however. I may revisit it at some point.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine itself takes some getting used to learning how to use. Setup take sometime to figure out your correct settings. This is not a machine you can just plug in and go make your first espresso. However. Once you have it set up it’s easy to use and you’ll make great cups of espresso quickly. I love this machine already.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to review this coffee machine! We are big latte people in our house and going to coffee shops is expensive! So this machine is very easy to set up and the instructions provided are very clear and do a great job of giving you tips on how to use the machine. I love the different options for making drinks and that you can customize how much cream you want by holding the button down when making a latte! The self cleaning feature is amazing and makes it so much easier to keep the machine clean and ready after every use. It takes about 2min after turning it on to make a coffee and it takes the same amount of time to clean up and put it back together. The only thing for me that I would like to see is that the milk canister froths the milk instead of just steaming it, but it is an amazing machine and it makes me look forward to my daily coffee!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is amazing! The first cup of espresso was believably perfect. Excellent nice Brew speed. Not too fast and not too slow. The overall durability of the machine is exceptional. I am an everyday coffee drinker so this espresso machine is a little advanced for me however if you are an avid coffee drinker or espresso I recommend this machine. I love the grinding feature, I love the grounds holder, and it comes with a filtration system which is above anything I've ever had. You can set the strength and I try them at all levels. It is just an overall amazing machine. Again myself being an everyday coffee drinker and it not making an entire carafe of coffee first thing in the morning, it's just not for me. Great for an office setting even and hitting clients things like that. Not good for a large crowd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The included instructions are very thorough. Entering some of the settings can be a bit challenging because it involves pressing buttons in a certain order rather than there being an actual menu. Luckily this only really needs to be done during the initial setup. The milk carafe has labels so you know the proper amount of milk to add depending on what you’ll be brewing. Then you just select your beverage and the machine does the rest! My husband had a super automatic espresso machine that had a wand for milk frothing and I was never pleased with how my drinks turned out using it. That is no longer a problem thanks to the LatteCrema System! The water reservoir is pretty large, as it the area that holds the coffee beans. It was also nice that a small sample bag of coffee beans was included too!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for an expresso coffee machine that is built in a grinder for good coffee beans. I am a busy working mom, so morning time is always challenging. But this fully automatic espresso machine makes a good tasting coffee/latte for less than 3 minutes and is a lifesaver. I have a deep and small kitchen counter. This compact coffee machine is 17” Deep and 9.25” width and fits perfectly and doesn’t use much of my space. It’s not noisy when functioning. It heats up very quickly. This coffee machine comes with a latte creme system just one touch will generate creamy dense milk froth(whole milk). I love it has auto clean function and detachable parts for quick, easy clean. I really enjoy with this great machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an amazing, versatile espresso machine! You can make coffee, espresso, cappuccinos and lattes! SUPER easy to clean and use! The milk frother has a clean button so the lines do not get gross. I love that it grinds the beans and there is an easy to clean canister for the used grounds. 10/10 recommend!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love, love, the DeLonghi Magnifica Start! This is my second DeLonghi! The first was a Dinamica. The game changer is the automatic milk frothing! Can I just say….wow! It’s the perfect froth without the mess. It’s so easy to clean and with the selection of coffee type, you can’t go wrong! And let’s not forget the most important part, the coffee, brews perfectly! It’s easy to setup the strength of your coffee. It comes with a water filter that you change out every two months. It’s so easy to keep clean and durability is amazing. I’ve had my previous DeLonghi for about 3 years, not one problem. The only reason I have it 4 stars is the packaging was missing the bottom plastic rounds to keep it balanced and from slipping. I never received a replacement. It’s tricky keeping it balanced, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I was so excited to try it. Hopefully I receive my replacement. Overall this is hands down the Best espresso maker’
