What Others Say
Some of the best coffee I've ever had!
I just received my Delonghi Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso machine a few days ago. I am already in love with this machine and have brewed some of the best coffee and lattes that I have ever had! I have been using Starbucks Espresso Roast and it is just as good, if not better than the drinks I can get made for me at Starbucks, and so easy!
The main pros I have found with this machine:
- It does everything for you! Put the cup down, push the button and you have a fabulous cup of coffee! No manual frothing or pouring.
- It cleans and rinses itself so I dont even have to clean it that often!
- It tells you when to empty the coffee grounds, tells you when to add more beans, more water or clean it.

superior machine
For all who have been stressed by the quirks of the 3300, Delonghi has made some improvements in this generation. The grinder is much quieter, the infusion cycle proofs the grounds before brewing, and there's an automatic rinse cycle at shut down. The digital programability is nice, but I bought this machine for the end product: great coffee. I was not disappointed. Some things to remember:
1. Use the least oily beans you can find. French roast will clog the machine quickly. I'm using a local med-dark roast all arabica coffee. Lavazza super crema is also very good.
2. Rinse between shots because the infuser clogs easily with black espresso muck. Not rinsing will cause the machine to shut down with a message that the "grind ... Read More
good results - poor quality
We bought this machine and enjoyed it quite a bit. Unfortunately, after about 10 months it started not doing the steamed or frothed. We had an extended warranty and took it back TWICE (first time the guy said he fixed it but didn't) and it immediately started degrading in quality again. I have written the company to know avail. I don't want to take it back to the local service center because the guy was very rude to us everytime we've dealt with him. Anyway, exect great coffee for a while, then expect it to break and not get good service.
Great coffee, easy... milk could be hotter
Everything they say about this machine above is true, it's really wonderful. My problem with it is, again mentioned above, that the latte milk could be hotter (use cappuccino frother for hotter). This bugs me because you can adjust the temp of the coffee, but not milk, and I like the milk hot so I have to pop it in the microwave. I'm happier having discovered the use of the cappuccino frother.
I just love it!
It is a pleasure every morning to brew my latte with this machine. You will never go to Starbuck's again! Plus it is really easy to handle. I can only highly recommend it!
