De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine with Manual Milk Frother, Built-in Grinder & Auto-Clean Function - For Latte, Cappuccino, Americano, Iced Coffee, ECAM29043SB

We purchased this machine to avoid purchasing either another Keurig or a Nespresso machine. It has not disappointed, and we in fact love it. Pros: - It is fairly simple to use - It eliminates the waste found with a Keurig or Nespresso. All you buy is whole beans for the grinder and ground for the bypass - The bypass opening allows us to make decaf versions of our drinks in the evening (I use Peet’s which is decaffeinated using the water process) - It makes an excellent espresso. I was able to dial in the grind pretty quickly and we have not touched it in 3 months. Because it makes an excellent espresso it also makes an excellent cafe Americano. - My wife likes frothy milk drinks. We got the version with the manual frother which I recommend. It is much easier to clean (and hot milk leaves a residue) and it is very easy to use compared to the versions with the automatic milk frother. - I love the sounds it makes. As an engineer I appreciate all the whirs and clicks and such. Cons: - Our machine leaks a little water internally such that the drip pan fills with water even when nothing visible has gone into it. The good news is that it is all in the drip pan and not on the counter - While it has a low water indicator, it is set too low and will start making a cup and then halt in the middle when it runs out of water. You either toss what you made or get a half of what you wanted. To resolve this I try and remember to look at the right side of the machine at the water level before I start (it is clear and easily visible) - Same issue with beans as water, it can run out of beans in the middle of a cycle, so I check - Some folks complain about the water it purges when turning it on & off, I did not find this annoying. We just keep an empty coffee cup under the spout when we turn it on/off. - I have not been able to dial in the ‘coffee’ option, it is a little too bitter for me. But this is not really much of an issue, the cafe Americano is excellent and I get more volume of coffee than the coffee setting. So while the machine is not perfect, it makes an awesome espresso, cappuccino, and cafe Americano - what we bought it for. It has proven simple to use and to clean. We love it.

A few things, 1 my other one I have At work came with a filter, this one did not. I tried Calling and didn’t get anywhere. There is no one to talk to. I tried emailing and no reply’s. 2 the Americano button you have to press twice if you want a full cup of coffee like the button shows. 3 The flaw is the 2x button should be for all the selections just not the espresso 4 the water container depending on how many coffees you want, goes quickly 5 to descale it takes hours so planning sticking around 6 sludge happens to build up in the catcher pain to clean out messy The positives Coffee comes out great prob one of the best cups of coffee!. But is it worth the pricy price tag no!

I owned a De'Longhi Magnifica about 20 years ago, and it lasted a good 10 years. This newer model of Magnifica, (Evo) is nothing short of perfection. Ok, on to the functions....being German myself, I use a German brand of coffee beans, and since I prefer my coffee strong, I always use Espresso beans. The unit itself is a bit noisy, but thats to be expected, given that it has to grind the beans, heat and filter the water and extract all into a cup once all the grinding and mixing is complete. The coffee can't be more fresh than with freshly ground beans right then and there. I like the new features of selecting the type of drink you're making....as well as doubling up on the quantity by a simple press of the "X2" button. My old machine had none of that. You can select between many different types of beverages....Espresso, Coffee, Long, Americano or Over Ice. Steam for Cappuccino can be used for milk as well as frothing up your coffee, for those whom prefer a more crema coffee. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this unit, and it's worth every penny. The water capacity is also great, and I suggest, to those new to this unit, to clean it daily, if used daily. This prevents any water slime, coffee ground disk rot, and keeps the unit running like a champ. You can also use already ground coffee, if you prefer, but as a matter of preference, I use whole beans, for added freshness. I posted images of the ground coffee beans disks ejected into container within machine after brewing is complete, to share with you what I do with those disc's after I clean the tray holding these disks. In winter, I collect them in a zip lock bag, and place them into the freezer, to use in spring and summer for my plants, bushes and trees. Those work wonders for your plants. I have nothing negative to say about this unit, it's SUPERB !!

If you love coffee, this is a great machine, the freshness and the quality of coffee you get every day saves me money from going to those other places great investment love it

Well the first unit had to be returned it bricked during initial setup(water pump didn't work I think) Ordered another one which has been good so far. Its fairly easy to use and espresso quality is pretty good. For the price point I think its a pretty good unit, better tasting product then the Phillips. The unit isn't to huge, and looks ok, though it is all plastic, metal and touch screen would be nice but of course that would raise the price by a few hundred making not as great of value. Cleaning is pretty easy. I prefer the manual frother vs the built in dispenser I think it does a better job and less stuff to clean. They do skimp on including a filter you have to purchase separate. I dinged a star off rating because the first unit was DOA. If you don't want to spend money on something like a Jura this is a good entry into the superauto world.

Good stuff. Makes delicious espresso/coffee drinks by pressing a few buttons. Requires regular preventative maintenance/filling and emptying water, coffee bean, and spent grounds containers.

I ordered this machine on December 11th 2022. Up until a few days ago it worked just fine. Now it won't make lattes, espressos, or any coffee whatsoever. The problem started after I hit the descaling button. From that point forward the machine locked. I followed instructions in the manual in an effort to descale the machine even though I had not been alerted by the machine that this was necessary. The machine would not start the descaling process. I tried to reset the machine to factory standards again following instructions in the manual I received with the machine to the letter,but the machine would not do that. I went online to check obtain information I provided when I registered the machine within 14 days of the date I received it. After signing in there was no sign that my machine was ever registered even though I have an email confirming successful registration. While on the Delonghi site I checked to see if I have the right owners manual. The owners manual that came with My machine lists three different model numbers but not mine. My search indicated that the model that I own was no longer being serviced and there was no owners manual to be found. The model number on my Amazon invoice and on the bottom of my machine is ECAM49043SB. I spoke to two service representatives and neither could find my registration but acknowledged that I did register it after I sent them my purchase invoice and email from Deloghi confirming registration. Neither of the reps I spoke with could find my model or its owner manual on the Delonghi web site. I will be calling Delonghi back tomorrow and asking for a new machine and not a refurbished one. If they refuse I'll also be contacting Amazon. I owned this machine's predecessor and used it daily for 10 to 12 years before it died. That's why I decided to buy another one. I guess you can say they don't make them like they used to. Stay tuned. I'll let you know how Delonghi and/or Amazon respond to my warranty request.

So far I’m impressed with this coffee machine. Makes great coffee! I had to mess around with the grind control size somewhat but it’s working nicely.

Súper buena Al principio no encontrábamos el modo de uso. Pero una vez que checamos, queda excelente

Another level of quality. Im not a coffee drinker but i love my morning espresso. Tried a few machines but this is just the best ever. Fast, good quality and give the best of your coffee grains. 5* and i f i could give 6* it would be 6. Love it

We got this machine about a year ago. And it is still making amazing coffee multiple times a day and has more than paid for itself ! It was easy to set up and is extremely easy to use. We originally got it as I wanted a machine that the grinder and everything was contained in one unit to cut down on coffee ground mess and also to have more space on our counter with less appliances. It has done this perfectly making our coffee area cleaner and more manageable on top of making amazing coffee ! No more grounds all over or coffee pods to wash and clean out, everything is done by the machine and all that you need to do is empty the ground receptacle when it tells you. Even the descaling and cleaning is SO easy compared to other machines we’ve owned. I recommend this to anyone and am even asked by coworkers to bring them coffee sometimes in the morning lol well worth the price tag for the quality coffee it makes as well as the mess it drastically cuts down on your countertops.

Mi esposa y yo disfrutamos mucho de un buen café todos los días. Esta cafetera De'Longhi nos tiene encantados por la excelente calidad y variedad de cafés que prepara. Desde un espresso hasta un capuccino, es muy sencillo prepararlos con un sabor excepcional. El uso de la máquina no es complicado, pero es necesario seguir las instrucciones para asegurarte de usarla correctamente. El mantenimiento hasta el momento se ha limitado a asegurar que tenga granos de café y agua suficiente (súper sencillo). Es un producto altamente recomendable.

Makes excellent coffee from grounds or beans. Steamer works well to froth milk, but cannot operate while coffee is being brewed, because there is only one heating element. A little loud though.
