Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this coffee machine. Bought it bc we like espresso and cappuccino, I usually make regular coffee with my stove perk pot. It delivers perfect espresso. That being said, it is very noisy and if purchasing this product make sure you buy good quality coffee beans.

Incredible all in one perfect fully auto machine Pros: fresh grinds, minimal input, perfect cup with Starbucks quality foam Cons: big and bulky, noisey, button interface sucks a little

A good coffee machine, convenient and easy to use, one of the minuses is that you can’t adjust the amount of milk for a portion of cappuccino or latte, the standard portion is too small, I would like to be able to regulate the amount of liquid myself - and this function is very lacking. In all other respects, the coffee machine suits.

I just hope there is a button to froth milk. But it is easy to use and to clean

Great machine perfect cup of expresso!!!! Great latte's

Great machine. I received two damaged machines before contacting delonghi. I honestly think it was the shipping company but who knows…

Very good coffee expresso machine. I use every day

Experience. I have owned many espresso machines, from manual to full-auto, and everything in between. Coffee is a passion, and we brew a lot of coffee in our house. Unfortunately, this also means that my coffee expectations are very high. Verdict. Assessing the quality of drinks objectively, the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo machine produces decent espressos and coffee milk drinks. It certainly doesn’t quite compare to manual espresso machines and dedicated grinders in drink quality, but it does well within the full-automatic coffee machine category. The ability to use fresh whole beans or ground coffee with this machine is fantastic, which elevates this machine well above all pod machines. It’s a machine we are enjoying a lot because it produces good drinks without the complexity of manual machines, it’s fast to use, and it’s easy to move around. Initial impressions. The machine is a bit heavy, but still pretty easy to move. There is a space on each side of the machine to easily hold it when carrying the machine to a different location. Included with the machine are a small bag of beans, a very nice quick-start manual, a specs manual, a water spout, a milk jug / milk frother, a water filter, and water hardness testing strips. Setup. After washing the reservoir, I filled it and followed the priming instructions from the quick-start guide. This process finished much quicker than I expected. Then, I added fresh whole beans to the hopper, and brewed a few espressos to adjust the flow until it was slow and smooth, and with a beautiful caramel color. By the fourth espresso, I was grinding at the 1.5 setting (close to the max “fine” setting), and I was very happy with the flow and color of the espresso. However, I was surprised by the ratio of dose to yield with the default settings. More on that below. Setting up the milk pitcher was very easy: just open the lid, add milk, close the lid, and connect the pitcher to the espresso machine. Operating the machine. Using the machine is about as easy as can be. Pour the beans in the hopper, connect the milk pitcher, select a drink, and wait for machine to make it. The machine certainly makes everyday enjoyment of coffee drinks very easy. On the other hand, accessing settings, and selecting functions beyond the drinks on the menu is more tricky. Because there is no screen with a user interface, keeping the manual handy is necessary so you can find the instructions for customizing drinks, cleaning, descaling, troubleshooting, etc. Espresso brewing quality. First and foremost, if you want quality espresso, you MUST purchase fresh coffee. Fresh coffee is coffee that has a “roasted on” date (not a “use by” date), and you should consume the coffee between 4 days and 20 days from the roasted on date. Also, for this machine, I recommend sticking with medium roast; dark roast will be a bit too oily and the beans will likely stick to the hopper. Light roast is likely to be too hard for the conical burrs and may damage your grinder. I estimate the dose for the light espresso option to be 7g, the medium espresso to be 10g, and the strong espresso to be 13g. During testing, the yield for light and medium settings were 40g, and for the strong espresso 32g. These were all brewed with nice and smooth espresso flow. Just based on ratio, I expected the espressos to be too watery; medium roast ratios are usually 1 to 2, so for 13g of dose for the strong setting, the optimal yield would be around 26g as a baseline, and then adjusted for taste. Upon tasting espressos at each strength settings, I confirmed that the espressos were not strong enough, and lacked body and complexity. However, they were smooth with plenty of crema. I adjusted the espresso setting so that the machine would brew for a shorter time, and my results were much better. While I do not like the default drink settings, the machine can be tweaked to achieve good espresso with traditional ratios. Milk drinks. While this machine can produce smooth tasting lattes out of the box, I think they can taste much better with some adjustments to the settings to adjust ratios. Of note, lattes from this machine will have very thick (cappuccino-like) foam. Because cappuccinos use less milk, the default setting tastes stronger, bolder, and closer to a traditional drink. The thick foam also helps to get a great cappuccino. Things I love: - Easy initial setup and priming, and great instruction booklet with lots of pictures - Minimal heat-up time; it is operational very quickly after turning on the power - Adjustable brewing spout can move up or down to accommodate different cup sizes - The grinder coarse/fine adjuster knob appears to only have 7 settings, but there are additional steps within the 1 through 7 settings. Sure, it doesn’t provide infinite adjustments, but it’s probably enough steps to dial-in good flow for an espresso - The brew group mechanism is fully removable for easy cleaning - The removable milk jug is great so that you can store left over milk in the fridge - The machine self-cleans when turned on and off - There are sufficient drink options and basic drink customization settings, but not so many that it complicates operations - The small square opening in the reservoir cover is very convenient to add water without having to move the lid - The milk pitcher has an angled shape that makes pouring milk very easy, almost like a spout - I love that the machine allows the user to chose the strength of the espresso, and it actually adjusts the dose; you can see the different in the thickness of the pucks in the pictures Things I don’t love: - There is a plastic grid that serves to avoid getting too close to the grinder burrs, I think. I understand the safety feature but I wish it wasn’t there. On days that I don’t use all the beans in the hopper, I can’t remove the left-over beans to keep them in an airlock container to keep them fresh. The hopper cover is not airtight so the beans that are left in the hopper will not be as fresh in the morning - Part of the appeal of full-automatic machines is simplicity of use. However, along with that comes many limits on dosing and brewing adjustability; that’s ok if you know what to expect - The cover of the water reservoir only goes on one way, but I couldn’t see any directional markings. The first few times I put the cover on, I put it on the wrong way. Now, I know to check that the grooves line up with the silver frame. It will not be an issue any more… but it was initially a bit confusing - The milk frother does not have a foam setting, so it looks like the machine will only produce max foam, which works for cappuccinos, but it’s not desirable for lattes - There is no button to only activate milk frothing. Sometimes when we make hot chocolate for the kids, we froth the milk to make it more fun. It looks like we can’t use this machine to froth milk without selecting a coffee drink first and then having the machine try to grind coffee, brew espresso, and finally froth milk. Overall, this machine is a great choice if you are looking for a full-automatic espresso machine; it’s easy to use and it brews a variety of coffee and milk drinks pretty well. If you are looking for more control and more traditional drinks, this machine can partially get there with some settings adjustments, but you are probably better off with a manual espresso machine. While we have an external grinder and manual espresso machine at home, we are still enjoying this machine daily for easy afternoon cappuccinos, and to take on road trips so we can enjoy great coffee in hotels and rental properties. We like this machine a lot actually, and we recommend it.

Excellent drinks, love the milk frother, hot espresso drinks so easy to make, machine is easy to clean and maintain. Only thing I wish I could change (maybe I can and haven’t figured it out yet) is making the default for latte drinks to be a double shot instead of the single.

This is a very good machine. I had a $3000 jura years ago. Although i missed having a really good coffee maker again, I was determined to not spend that much again. For under $1000 this works beautifully and delivers wonderful coffee. And. I love that it fits into my small area for coffee.I have no complaints. I recommend this.

Hands down makes excellent coffee and cappuccino's. Crema on every single coffee that you will stop buying at chain coffee shops. Frother is also top notch and Super easy to clean. If you want a “one button” machine that grinds fresh beans and froths milk then this is for you. DeLonghi customer service very helpful which not all companies can have. However the manual does not cover all aspects of “how to situations” because anything outside of the 5 buttons needs explanation.

Great machine, easy to use and makes great tasting coffee and cappucino BUT as other reviewers wrote, the frother stopped working after 3 months. I tried all troubleshooting steps to no avail. Thankfully because of the reviews I purchased the extended warranty. Off to Best Buy to return. I will exchange for the same machine in hopes it doesn’t happen again w the extended warranty of coarse

I traded in my Nespresso Vertuo for the De’longhi Magnifica EVO. I found the unit on a great Holiday sale. I researched several different brands over a year and when the Magnifica having the automatic milk frothing attachment came on sale it was an obvious choice for the cost. It brews espresso coffees well with a minor exception that the Americano coffee setting appears to brew a shot but continues to fill the cup with water by pushing it through the brew puck. If you want a perfect Americano coffee then brew a shot and add the water separately. Otherwise, I like this unit because my main use is single and double espresso shots. I tried the auto milk frothing attachment and it worked well, but I still use an aeroccino to froth my plant-based milks. The super-automatic espresso makers - such as the Magnifica - require regular tray and used puck dumping, but are worth the minor maintenance for the quality of coffee produced. My Magnifica has worked flawlessly for the two months I have used it, so far.

Works great, easy to use , just a little slower than I expected it to brew a little loud, not too overwhelming as far as size.

This machine makes great no fuss espresso/coffee! The coffee is frothy and dark. I gave the machine 4 stars…but its more like 4.5 stars. The other .5 is because it uses A LOT of coffee beans and for the inconvenience of having to push the coffee button at least 3 times to fill my cup.

Best Buy at its best, instant delivery. but Delonghi was disappointed by its stinginess, this model does not have a program for serving foamed milk as an independent drink. this can be bypassed if you click on the ground coffee program and then my latte, the device will serve you foamed milk and give an error that there is no ground coffee. the error will disappear on its own. but for this minus I remove a star.

Makes delicious tasting coffee in no time at all. Ever since I purchased this machine I can’t wait for the morning to have my flavored latte. I love fixing “fancy” coffee for my guests and have even created a coffee station with to-go cups! The machine is very easy to use. The only complaint I have and the reason for the 4 star rating is that it has to be descaled often. This could be because of the hard Texas water. The machine is definitely worth the price and I have already purchased 2 as gifts!

It worked well once I got all the setting just right, which was an extensive process (e.g. adjusting grind levels, water output, temperature, etc.). Wish there was a way to get foamed milk without having to make coffee -> a work around is to select the ground coffee option without putting any ground coffee in and selecting latte options...it'll create the foam then do nothing since there's no ground coffee.

A little price, but love this Machine, I just wish that for regular coffee will be more so I don't have to do it twice for a full cup of coffee, and one more thing too noisy for the grinding coffee. the rest is good.

My father has been using this for a long time.And it is a very good machine to make latte's, because that's what he likes to drink every day. And he enjoys it easy to use a little hard to clean, but other than that, the coach turns in mind, that's pretty good. Yeah.
