This is an initial review as I’ve only had it set up for a week now, but soo far I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of video reviews on similar machines and settled on the the Magnifica Evo as I don’t need an extensive drink menu, but wanted the convenienceof an automatic machine. Early Prime Day pricing definitely got me off the fence.
I followed the quick start guide, which made it a breeze. Setup was very easy, and it just took a few minutes to run the initial cleansing cycles. With the intensity set to maximum, it only took a few pours to dial in the grinder setting to where it didn’t stall the extraction. I do keep a cup under the nozzles to catch the little bit of water it runs in the startup and shutdown cleaning cycles. Otherwise you are dumping the drip tray frequently.
I mostly use the “Coffee” button, which I guess some would call Coffee Crema, and it does produce a nice crema on top of the coffee. It’s really quite good. I have run several single and 2X shots, which were all great. I have also used the “Over Ice” function a few times and really like it. We don’t do a lot of milk drinks, but I do like a cappuccino once in awhile and was very happy with the results this machine produced. I’ve been using Costco’s Espresso Roast with satisfactory results. Your favorite beans should do just fine as well. Keep in mind that oily beans don’t do as well in these automatic machines and can cause blockage.
All in all, it appears to be everything I needed and expected, and I’m very pleased with it. If you are looking for a similar machine, read and watch plenty of reviews. Know that these things do make a little noise when grinding, and expect to do a little maintenance from time to time. Delonghi makes quality equipment, and properly cared for, this machine should have a good service life. I will update this review if anything worth noting should come up.

I don’t write reviews often and wanted to wait about 6 months to see if I still like the Magnifica Eva. So the answer is yes! I shopped various others and at the end opted for this one because it really does make high-level espresso drinks with a ‘one-button’ approach. So here are some pro’s, con’s, and highlights:
Pros: Very simple to use once you get past the instructions. They do need to improve these. But it does make excellent coffee with minimal care. You just have to follow the descaling instructions every few weeks. We use it multiple times a day and it has not failed at all. Also it doesn’t consume much counter space.
Cons: Well we have all got used to touchsceens with easy instructions. This is not that machine. Harken back to the 2000’s when multi-function buttons were the thing. But once you get used to those, it is very predictable. The water reservoir is a bit on the small side so if you are a big coffee drinker, you will have to fill it daily. Also I haven’t used the foaming milk attachments since I really don’t want to clean those and a battery whisk is much simpler.
Pro-tips: 1) Use espresso roast beans. They just work better. The per-cup cost is very low since the grinder is very efficient. 2) The isn’t much useful guidance on the grinding adjustment settings. After much experimentation, I feel that setting the knob to a “5” worked the best for me. 3) Empty the drip tray daily and give it a quick rinse.
Overall I am very pleased. While the instructions are a bit archaic, you can can understand them with a bit of effort.

I purchased this espresso machine as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for my coffee-loving wife. Previously, we owned both a Nespresso and a Keurig machine. However, since switching to this new espresso machine, we have experienced significant savings. Instead of buying Nespresso cups weekly, we now only need to purchase a single bag of beans from Costco for just $11, which lasts us the entire month. With five people in our household, including my wife who enjoys two cups of coffee daily, as well as our kids who occasionally indulge in iced coffee, this machine has proven to be a cost-effective solution. We used to spend $20 on Nespresso cups every week, but now, with the beans, a single bag lasts us the entire month. I am thrilled that we made the switch from Nespresso and Keurig machines and have been able to save money while still enjoying our favorite coffee at home. Additionally, the milk frother on this machine is fantastic, and it was one of the reasons I chose this model. My wife and kids love the frothy milk on their coffee, and I do too. Since we have this machine, we haven’t visited Starbucks in quite some time. It’s truly a game-changer for us.

In early 2012 we bought a DeLonghi Magnifica at a specialty shop for what seemed like a ridiculously exorbitant price at the time. Little did we know how our coffee tastes would change because of that machine. On June 27, 2024 our beloved Magnifica died. I know people who have had less mourning at their passing than that coffee maker.
It was such a hard working appliance! I calculate that with the tons of company we hosted, breakfast every morning, brunches, afternoon and evening coffee, it made close to 40,000 cups of coffee over 12.5 years – every one as good as the last. I cleaned it regularly and was obsessive about descaling, but honestly, it was just that well built.
So when it came time to replace it, we knew what we wanted. It had to be a DeLonghi. Our replacement machine came today, after a week of suffering through Keurig pods (no offense to Keurig) and already I’m such a happy camper (see cup in my photo). The coffee is just as delicious, operating it is so easy and familiar, and we can only hope we won’t need to replace it until 2036. So happy.

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.

We got our De’Longhi Magnifica Evo with LatteCrema System in December 2023 and it has worked really great up until recently. Beverages are hot and frothing is always perfect. We make sure it is cleaned daily and follow the maintenance instructions; it’s actually not much work at all, it has an easy clean up process. Because of this it is a complete surprise to have it suddenly machine experience trouble recognizing the milk carafe. It has no problem using the clean button when it is connected, but the milk drinks lights no longer turn on when the milk carafe is connected. When I do press the latte button, the clean button light appears and there is an exclamation at top, but even after it finishes the clean process, it doesn’t recognize that the same milk carafe it just finished cleaning is attached. We reached out to support & they helped us resolve this issue (the sensor stopped seeing the milk so we placed a white piece of paper over the bottom sensor as suggested by support & now it works).

We owned several espresso machines since 2001, we had a Saeco for nearly twenty years till it ran its course, then we purchased a Breville which had problems with the electronic board. Breville sent us a replacement machine which had the same issue within just few weeks. We purchased the Delonghi Magnifico Evo which is a wonderful machine, very easy to use and so far it has been problem free. It takes whole beans and pre ground coffee. The only drawback is that the water reservoir could have been a bit larger. Delonghi Magnifico Evo is a well built machine and is a great value for the price, we love it.
