4.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Simple, intuitive top-panel interface with clear icons
  • Good crema and solid espresso quality, especially with fresh beans
  • Grinder is adjustable and lets users dial in grind finer than many rivals
Reviewers push back
  • Brewing temperature runs cooler than what espresso experts recommend
  • No milk-on-demand option without using a workaround
  • Some models lack a rubber gasket, making the grinder noticeably louder
Reviewers agree the Magnifica Evo is an easy, capable super-automatic that makes good espresso and milk drinks, with a friendlier interface than older De'Longhi models, though it has real limits on strength and temperature out of the box.
— best for: Buyers who want a straightforward button-press super-automatic for espresso and milk drinks without learning manual espresso technique.

Conclusion (if you read nothing else): After EXTENSIVE review of super-automatic machines ranging in price from $1,500 - $3,500 - I don't think you can find a better equipped machine to answer all your needs. There are some cons (see below) but overall for the price this machine cannot be beat. This is that perfect machine for someone who wants to be able to tinker/adjust (dreaming of semi-automat Adam · wholelattelove.com
