De'LonghiMagnifica Evo Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine with Automatic Milk Frother for Latte, Cappuccino, Iced Coffee, Built-in Grinder, ECAM29084SB

The best coffee maker. The machine is not the quietest when it’s grinding, but it’s quick and the noise is not long. It holds a good amount of beans and water. I love the custom setting and the option for 2x espresso. The coffee is so well made from this machine, it has cut back my coffee shop runs almost completely. We have used the machine daily for about 6 months now and it’s easy to clean. Easy to use. We love the coffee it produces. And are very happy with our purchase!

The media could not be loaded. I am thrilled to finally have this machine. It makes delicious fresh coffee and milk based drinks. You will see in my video that I add my favorite creamer before my latte brews. I like mine a little sweet, and that’s what works for me. I have bought some organic syrups and can’t wait to try those, too. It has been so much fun and a delicious experience getting to know my machine.I will try to keep my review list short and simple:Pros:*Makes a delicious coffee beverage (haven’t tried iced coffee yet, but I’m certain it won’t disappoint*Reminds you to clean the milk spout with a touch of a button when finished making your milk based drinks, as you will see in my video*Automatically does a quick rinse of the coffee/water spout when turned on or off, as you will see in my video (always keep a small cup there to catch the water)*Allows to reconfigure settings to your preference and memorizes the settings you chose - I.e. more water, less foam, etc. (you can find videos on how to change settings - super easy)*Has a decent sized water tank that provides multiple drinks before filling up again*VERY easy to learn and start making coffee right out of the box (just be sure to follow initial cleaning steps first)*Accommodates whole beans and ground coffee (be sure to read how to do ground coffee, as the machine is supposed to be on, can’t go over a certain amount at a time, etc. - easy to grasp but I want you to get it right)*Alerts when it’s time to refill water tank or remove coffee grounds from its disposal tank.*Very quick process and well worth the drink - it’s definitely a treat for my husband and me.*Has a hot water feature for teas, oatmeal, etc. You pick how much you need (no preset for that, I don’t think). Just be sure to have the hot water spout attached (original spout that you remove to attach the milk container for milk based drinks)*Very hot temperature, which I love. Just be aware and careful when you first brew and take that first sip. Temperature can be adjusted - just watch a YouTube video or read the manual to learn how.Cons:*Ive only found one, and I could be mistaken. But I don’t recall getting an alert when my beans needed refilled. I am new to ground beans and maybe it expects we know how many we should use. I don’t yet know, so I put enough beans in to cover the base. However, I could tell it was out during one of my drinks because I didn’t hear a strong grind. The drink was not good. Not a big deal, but it’s worth calling out if you’re wondering or like me and a newbie to whole beans. We will get it down!I love this machine, and I am so thankful it was on a deal. We splurged and got it for Christmas for us. My advice - don’t wait another morning without this machine. You deserve this; You won’t be disappointed.

Pros: ????Cons: Broke after 5 weeks. Return closed on August 16, broke on August 22.Had this for 5 weeks and is completely inoperable already. Brewed espresso approximately 3x a week with this machine. 5 weeks after buying this machine the coffee ground light lit up (had previously lit up and emptied many times before this), I pulled the coffee ground bin to empty it and the piece pictured was sitting in the coffee ground bin. Seeing as this is an interior piece and is clearly broken off around the screw, I have not been able to fix this, nor have I attempted to brew coffee or espresso.The first time I contacted Amazon about this, the customer service representative had me send the pictures to an email address that was invalid. I kept informing him of this because the emails kept bouncing back, so my problem never got solved. I figured, I'd wait a day and try with someone else who was hopefully more competent.The second time I contacted Amazon about this, the customer service representative gave me the DeLonghi website and basically told me to resolve it myself.When I reached out to DeLonghi about this and emailed my pictures, the response I got was that they could not help me and that I would have to call an 800 number.After calling the 800 number and waiting on hold for over an hour, I am still stuck with a broken inoperable machine. I may as well have taken my $700 and thrown it in the trash.Beware that if your machine breaks you are SOL - Amazon won't help you, and DeLonghi clearly doesn't care since they already have your money. Seems awfully convenient for DeLonghi and Amazon that this broke right outside of the return window and if you can't get through to anyone on the phone I guess that means they don't have to honor the warranty.I bought this because I trusted the DeLonghi brand, but clearly they do not stand behind their products.

An outstanding product. Makes fantastic espresso and latte drinks. Can make a simple cup of coffee as well. The size of the unit is surprisingly compact for the power it has. The instruction manual is, however, a little difficult to follow and was written with Metric measurements vs. Imperial. Would be a good idea to have a conversion noted in the instructions. The first few coffees are "hit and miss" which is to be expected. The versatility of the machine makes experimentation necessary. If there's one draw back it's the noise! This machine grinds coffee beans before brewing and dispensing the beverage and the noise of the grinder can be a bit loud. Also, the machine does a "purge" of water before and after brewing which causes an amount of water to come out of the drip nozzles and into the drip tray which then becomes a challenge to empty. Realizing this, I found a small cup under the drip nozzles at startup and shutdown catches the water saving the drip pan challenge. The water tub is adequate and easily removed, however, reinserting it with a full capacity of water can get a bit messy! Still, I am pleased with the product and, in time with trial and error, anticipate I'll be making Coffee Quality drinks!!
