The Delonghi Magnifica Espresso Maker - THIS IS THE BEST!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Machine - GREAT COFFEE!!!!, September 2, 2007

We have one of these at work and I am saving up to get one for home. It is so easy to use. The Quality and Consistency of each cup is what I really like about it. You can decide how full you want the cup as well as how strong. And then you press a button.

We use Seattle's Best Coffee Beans at work and it makes a great cup of coffee. It reminds me of going out to a coffee house in Germany.

If I could give higher than 5 stars I would!

Cleanup is sooo easy, less than 2 minutes every 14 shots(when the grounds bin fills up).

Never tastes like old beans, self cleaning.

As noisy as any coffee making process, manual/auto. Unless you're using preground and a french press.

Extremely easy to use... could probably train a monkey to use it in under 5mins.

Near perfect shots, though some elitists will say otherwise only because it's an auto. Though those same elitists would be hard pressed to pick in a blind taste test.

Warmer is useless... but get some Bodum Pavinas and you won't need to prewarm anyway.

Heats up extremely quick.

Quiet frothing nozzle. Doesn't scream at you like the standard one.

Bonus: Can heat up a cup worth of hot water for the occasional tea quicker than a kettle.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAST, EASY AND CONSISTENT GREAT LATTES, August 30, 2009

Our last machine was a Barista from Starbucks, and it lasted for many years. This machine was a huge step up not only in ease and efficiency, but also in cost. But we purchased ours at Bed Bath and Beyond with the 20% off coupon they seem to always send us that saved us over $100! Looks great, very easy to use, and three different ways to adjust coffee strength and amt. to ensure consisting espresso every single time. Making iced lattes has never been easier. We love ours. It's a fairly large machine, but seems like we are having to fill the water tank and espresso grinder after about every 6-7 double shots. Not a big deal for the ease of every espresso we pull. Sure beats what we used to have to do with the old Barista machine. easy to clean. I just hope it keeps working for many many years. There are lots of moving parts inside that makes this so automated. Steamer wand does an amazing job...almost makes too much foam. So stop comparing models and reading reviews, and buy it!
