Sadly, we are disappointed
on February 1, 2025
Posted by: sls_ontario
We decided that our Christmas gift to each other would be an upgraded coffee maker. After much research and a couple visits to a specialty coffee supply store, we chose the Magnifica Start. We looked at more expensive machines, but we could not justify the cost. And we definitely knew that full manual was not for us. This seemed like a good compromise.
We have been trying hard to get used to it (reading tips, making adjustments, trying to improve the experience, trying different beans). Is it the machine? Is it us? Are we just drip coffee people? I'm happy with the milk drinks, but mainly my husband and I drink coffee and we just can't get a delicious cup of coffee from this machine. Perhaps we're doing something wrong. Anyway, we now have an expensive machine that we're trying to live with.
It is a nice looking machine, relatively compact, fairly intuitive. The milk frother is quite good.
We definitely wish the output was hotter!! We did adjust the heat per the instructions, but it's definitely not hot.
Anyway, we will keep trying to improve the output.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Coffee tastes a lot better than K Cup machine. It took a while to learn how to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing
on January 21, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing. Makes a great coffee/espresso. Still getting the hang of how to work it since I am used to just a normal coffee pot. But I love it. You are able to use whole beans or already ground beans which is nice. I've made a mean white chocolate mocha with it. No more going to the coffee stand. Saves me money that's for sure.

I was absolutely blown away by this machine! I bought it as a gift for my husband (and me) and we are in love with all of the features. It's elegant design and ease of use make it a necessity if you are a coffee lover. It has many options to suit all of your caffeine needs and is so easy to use you don't need coffee to make your coffee. Just press a button and PRESTO you are good to go!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you Santa!

I had the Delonghi Deica for two years and I loved it but was ready for an automatic coffee maker so was delighted when Santa dropped this off for Christmas! I live that I can make whichever drink I want and whenever I want! It is so easy to use!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fancy coffee right at home
on December 8, 2024
Posted by: haileyjulia_9917
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up right out of the box. The best most flavorful coffee right at home! I feel like I’m having fancy coffee shop coffee while at home. It has self cleaning functions and it is not loud at all.

This is the second Magnifica that I have owned. The first one was incredible, but this one is even better!
