Overview

The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo is a bean-to-cup coffee maker designed for enthusiasts seeking barista-quality beverages with minimal effort. It features a built-in steam wand for quick milk heating and can brew two coffees simultaneously. The machine offers 13 grinder settings and three strength options, allowing users to customize their coffee preferences easily via the intuitive control panel. However, its substantial size may pose challenges for kitchens with limited space, especially when placing it under wall-mounted cabinets. [1]

In terms of performance, the Magnifica Evo delivers consistently flavorful coffee, producing a good crema on espressos. The steam wand effectively froths milk, creating silky textures suitable for cappuccinos, though it lacks an included milk jug, which could be inconvenient for some users. The machine operates relatively quietly during grinding and brewing processes. While it is among the more expensive espresso machines, its automation and ability to prepare multiple drinks simultaneously offer a compelling value proposition for serious coffee drinkers. [2] [3]

Tom's Coffee Corner

"While the functionality of the brew group is similar to the older models, the Magnifica offers a clean design HMI with a nice smooth surface for cleaning, and recognizable drink buttons displayed. The Evo boasts a 14 count puck tray, and a 1.8 liter water tank, giving this machine some very nice volume. Of course drink performance is the most important aspect, and this machine when fed with freshly roasted beans can produce a very nice Espresso Lungo. Maybe my biggest surprise is how well this did with milk foam. It does provide a very nice almost silky consistency, especially for a superautomatic."
