Product Description
The DeLonghi Esclusivo Magnifica Super-Automatic Machine brews perfect coffee, espresso, latte, and cappuccino. The compact and patented Direct-to-Brew System with Thermo Block technology provides excellent heat distribution, and it's removable for easy cleaning. The beans are ground instantly to ensure the freshest espresso or coffee brewed under 15 bars of pressure. Professional-quality integrated burr grinder produces consistent, fresh, and aromatic espresso or coffee. Grind settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all types of beans. The instant reheat function heats the core of the machine, ensuring that Magnifica maintains an ideal temperature for brewing. The patented cappuccino system frother includes a special chamber that mixes steam and milk to create a rich, creamy froth. It's perfect for making the ideal cappuccino, latte, or any other frothy milk coffee beverage. Automatic decalcification indicator lights let you know when it's time to clean the machine. Removable 60-ounce water tank with water-level indicator allows for convenient filling and easy cleaning. Removable used coffee container and drip tray for convenient cleaning and easy disposal of coffee waste. Two separate, easy-to-use control dials allow you to make adjustments to coffee strength and brewed amounts. Choose the one-cup option for a large mug or small espresso, or choose the two-cup option for two large mugs or two small espressos. Three-hour automatic shutoff for safe operation. Adjustable spouts let you brew directly into espresso, demitasse, or 12-ounce cups.Similar Products

I'm at the six month mark for using this machine. First, for context: I do not sip coffee out of a mug in the morning looking out over San Francisco Bay as I contemplate life's wonders. Instead, I want my mocha latte in the morning (and just about every morning) before I go to work. In addition, I am not a frustrated barrista faling back on my Starbuck's training; I don't even use the frothing wand because it is too much of a pain in the rear to deal with. Instead, I bought something that does it automatically, which kind of fits the theme of this machine.
I used a Gaggia Classic until it died. I was happy with it, but in a sense, I think this machine has it beat for one very important reason: consistency. You get the same cup of coffee every morning with good crema. And that is, to me, the only upside that matters. Is it noisy? It is quieter than my burr grinder. Do you have to clean it? Sure, about once a week, but it takes about 30 seconds. Do you have to decalcify it? I only use distilled water, and I haven't had to yet. Does it break down? Not mine, but I don't leave it on all the time. I turn it on, it takes about a minute to get ready, I make my coffee, then I turn it off. No problems. Is it super hot? I use a double-walled Bodum cup, and it stays hot for 20-25 minutes with the foam on top. The trick is to either make the coffee right away, or pre-warm the dispenser (it can be done).
All in all, it does what it is supposed to do. What more can you ask?

I waited until I had my machine 1 year to write this review. I chose it because, based on reviews, it appeared to be the best low price fully-automatic espresso machine. I am really happy with it.
I use a frothing thermometer to tell how long to steam the milk for. This results in perfect cappucino every time!
Pros:
- Makes great coffee
- Fool-proof milk frother
- Easy to clean - don't need any special cleaning tablets
Cons:
- Manual controls for bean and water quantity
- My machine jams once every couple of months. However, the jams always clear themselves - no service has ever been needed

I drink a lot of coffee. Roast my own beans, etc. The idea of just pushing a button is very appealing. But... For the cost of a upper-mid range major appliance (washer, dryer, dishwasher, stove, etc.) I think I should be able to expect a device with at least some degree of quality. Not so this machine. It is, well, just cheaply made. Cheap plastic. Cheap controls. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Ok, I guess $800 in plastic junk is what the market will bear. $800 will buy a pretty decent stainless steel range, with a life expectancy of 10s of years. Lucky if you get a few years out of one of these coffee makers, and other reviews seem to highlight that fact. Many talk of how great their previous machine of a "few years" was and now they're onto buying another one...
Go look at one first. Don't reward manufacturers that have neither shame, nor pride, in their work.

Don't purchase any De Longhi product...
Machine will not turn on after making 12 cups of coffee. Customer service is curt and not helpful.
Only solution they had was to send machine from Florida ro California for repair. Between the transport time and ordering parts from italy ? ( no parts kept in the us, then don't sell it here ! )and then sending it back to Florida, my new machine will be gone between 6 to 12 weeks.
It doesn't matter how good the coffee is that it makes if it doesn't work !
I figure each of the 12 cups cost me about $ 66.00 so far !!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT

This is a replacement for same product purchased 5 years or so ago. It is faster, quieter and very easy to use. Produces great espresso.
