Product Description

Capable of preparing espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte drinks, and more, this super-automatic machine features a unique beans-to-brew system that grinds coffee beans right before brewing for exceptionally aromatic espresso. The appliance comes equipped with two stainless-steel boilers that provide excellent heat distribution, as well as an instant reheat function, which keeps the machine at an ideal temperature, no matter how long the interval between cups. In addition, its quiet burr grinder automatically grinds beans and can be set to a specific grinding level, but the unit can also be used with ground coffee if preferred. The unit's front panel offers easily accessible controls for the on/off switch and cappuccino system, as well as for adjusting the quantity of water and coffee to suit individual tastes, from long or short to weak or strong. Its patented cappuccino system rotates 180 degrees to allow for any size milk container, plus the coffee spigot height can be adjusted to accommodate all different cup sizes from a classic espresso cup to a tall mug. Even more, the units exclusive cup tray keeps cups warm before use, and its three-hour automatic shutoff provides added safety. Other highlights include a 60-ounce removable water tank, a handy water-level indicator, a 7-ounce bean container, an electronic steam and coffee thermostat, rinse and decalcification auto programs, and a removable drip tray for easy cleanup. Made in Italy. From the Manufacturer Capable of preparing espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte drinks, and more, this super-automatic machine features a unique beans-to-brew system that grinds coffee beans right before brewing for exceptionally aromatic espresso. The machine makes espresso at a consistently ideal temperature because of its new stainless-steel double boiler, which provides excellent heat distribution, as well as its instant reheat function, which keeps the machine at an ideal temperature, no matter how long the interval between cups. Its space-saving, integrated quieter burr grinder automatically grinds beans and can be set to a specific grinding level, but the unit can also be used with ground coffee if preferred. Its 60-ounce removable water reservoir and 7-ounce bean container allow for conveniently filling the water tank and emptying coffee grounds. The unit's front panel offers easily accessible controls for the on/off switch and cappuccino system, as well as for adjusting the quantity of water and coffee to suit individual tastes, from long or short to weak or strong. The machine's patented cappuccino system rotates 180 degrees to allow for any size milk container, while its coffee spigot height can be adjusted to allow for all different cup sizes from a classic espresso cup to a tall mug. The unit features an exclusive cup tray to keeps cups warm before use, as well as a three-hour automatic shutoff for safety. For added convenience the unit comes with a water-level indicator, an electronic steam and coffee thermostat, rinse and decalcification auto programs, and a removable drip tray for easy cleanup. Brewing Unit: The "Heart" of Magnificent The Magnifica features the smallest removable brewing system available on the market. Because DeLonghis patented boiler is so compact. And, thanks to the removable boiler, cleaning the inside of the machine is easy. Even areas normally difficult to reach can be easily cleaned and without the use of harsh detergents. And because regular maintenance helps prolong the life of the machine, DeLonghis reliability is second to none.Beans-to-Brew System One of the secrets to making a high-quality espresso is using freshly ground coffee beans. Because of the beans-to-brew system, the Magnifica offers you coffee that has a delicious aroma. The coffee is freshly ground and no traces are left in the machine. Magnifica is the only super-automatic machine that delivers the freshest results. Features Compact and High Performance: Because DeLonghis new patented boiler is so compact. Timeless Reliability: Thanks to the stainless-steel removable double boiler, the inside can be cleaned easily. Regular cleaning of the machine is essential for maintaining the best flavor possible and for minimizing the need for service. A Perfect Aroma. No traces of stale grounds are left in the machine. Instant Reheat: This special function heats the core of Magnifica, ensuring the machine is always at the ideal temperature for espresso, no matter how long the interval between cups. Removable Water Tank and Bean Container: Magnifica knows that the counter space in your kitchen is always at a premium. Magnifica is the only super-automatic machine that allows you to fill the water tank and empty the coffee grounds without moving the machine. All of the controls are at the front of the machine, from the on/off switch to the cappuccino system. Integrated Burr Grinder: A space-saver container for beans is fully integrated into the Magnifica. You can set the grinding level to customize your espresso. Magnifica can also be used with ground coffee. DeLonghi recommends the use of illycaffe for the best tasting espresso. Rich, smooth, balanced, and never bitter, illy provides the same consistent distinctive taste cup after cup. Coffee Spigots: Magnificas coffee spigot height can be adjusted to allow for all different cup sizes from a classic espresso cup to a tall mug. Cappuccino System: The patented cappuccino system rotates 180 degrees to allow for any size milk container.

Customers find the coffee maker easy to clean. They mention that it foams milk pretty well, and requires relatively little cleaning. They also say that it is a low maintenance machine and that the only thing they need to do is clean it.

133 customers mention55 positive78 negative

Customers are mixed about the capacity of the coffee maker. Some mention that it has a good size water reservoir, while others say that it is not overly large. The front opens up and you pull out a little bin to empty every so many pours. It does an excellent job and is easy to refill. However, some customers say that the water tank is not large enough, and it uses a lot of water in the various cycles. The bean holder does not hold much, and you have to watch out, and the machine only produces about a teaspoon of coffee with the double cup setting.

"...Use a flat-bottom container; there is no reservoir for milk...." Read more

"...two settings to get the flow at that point of perfect extraction: not gushing, not dripping. Can be done, just takes patience...." Read more

"...At the default grind setting the coffee was really awful: totally watery. We thought the machine was defective...." Read more

"...The Saeco's water tank is slightly larger...." Read more

118 customers mention70 positive48 negative

Customers are mixed about the heat of the coffee maker. Some mention that it heats up in moments and then dispenses lovely espresso, while others say that the temperature of the espresso is much hotter with the DeLonghi than the Saeco. The steam wand heats and froths the milk pretty quickly. So far, they've had no problems, but some say that it doesn't get overly hot or steamy on top and everything except the beans is hot. The milk temp and foam are good, but others say the temperature is much higher with the deLonggi than the saeco and that the cup warmer isn't worthwhile.

"...I can use my tall mugs. It's faster to turn the unit on, and it doesn't insist that you clean things up quite so often...." Read more

"...The single shot is maybe just a bit better but its temperature is a couple of degrees cooler than I like...." Read more

"...It doesn't get overly hot or steamy on top and everything except the beans is accessed from the front. To access the beans, the top cover hinges up...." Read more

"...The machine heats up quickly when turned on - about 3 min...." Read more

174 customers mention28 positive146 negative

Customers are not happy with the noise the coffee maker makes. They say it is a bit loud, it starts making a weird sound, and the grinder whines fast and loud. Some customers also say that the machine groaned and clunked, spilling the entire carafe of water all over their floor.

"...Noise</b>It’s loud when grinding the beans, making the coffee, and when using the steam wand to froth milk...." Read more

"...Grinding and brewing the coffee isn't quiet, but it doesn't seem to wake sleepers up in our 2-bedroom apartment...." Read more

"...The machine groaned and clunked, spilled the entire carafe of water all over my counter and floor, and lit up with a series of error lights...." Read more

"...Others have also noted that it is loud. Totally agreed on that point!..." Read more

Tips for long life
5 Stars
Tips for long life
I’m on my second Delonghi machine and after having this model for 3 years I like it as much as I did when it was new. I like it so much that I had my first machine repaired so it’s ready to go in the event this one needs repairs (some you can confidently do yourself.) And because I’ve become so familiar with this machine I wanted to share my experiences that will help extend the life of your machine.—Number one: use bottled water. The most destructive element to the machine is the buildup of lime that isn’t easily removed, even with commercial descalers. Using a water without added minerals like spring or distilled prevents the valves from becoming crusted with lime. The water travels through a fascinating maze of tubes and devices before it reaches your cup and these must be clean.—Use a commercial descaler when the light goes on. Expelled solution that is clear will validate the quality of the water you’ve been using.—Rinse the brew unit (aka the infuser) periodically, but more importantly make sure the piston moves easily through the unit. The device isn’t maintenance free and occasionally requires lubrication. Symptoms of a poorly functioning brew unit are creaking or groaning and/or finding spilled coffee grounds inside the unit. Rectify this immediately as it causes stress on the transmission that drives it through its cycle. The piston is in two parts, an outer shell and inner plunger. To do the job properly remove the u-clip from the bottom of the infuser which will cause the inside of the piston to fall out the bottom; then push the outer shell through the top. On the outside of the piston are two high-pressure orange seals. These maintain pressure and prevent the coffee from leaking outside the unit while brewing. If you find coffee is dripping in the tray these need to be replaced. Use a food-safe grease like Petrogel and saturate the rubber seals. Reassemble the unit at which point the piston should slide smoothly through the unit.—If you regularly steam milk the rubber o-ring in the steam wand and it’s outer shell need to be periodically replaced.—If the steam wand begins leaking during the brew cycle it needs to be replaced. Order a new tap from an online appliance parts source. The major one has a video that demonstrates how to do this repair.—Using high quality beans with minimal oil causes them to easily slide through the grinder. The belt driving the grinder is replaceable if required.—Use the proper dial setting on the grinder to adjust the body of the espresso. It usually takes a couple cycles to achieve the benefit of the adjustment. If the coffee won’t expel the grind is too fine; if too watery it’s too corse.I was shocked at the engineering that goes into this machine. I recently changed the tap and took some photos that show why it’s so heavy and the lengthy path which the water travels.
