I bought my wife this for Christmas, I read a hundred reviews on this and the Philips 3200/3300, I chose this one because of the stainless steel grinder over the ceramic grinder. My wife is a coffee geek and I was so stressed she would like this machine. This was the best Christmas gift I have ever bought her that she truly loves!!!! I also bought her starbucks whole beans and pre-ground. That morning all she could do, was set up her new machine. I have read it takes a quite a few brews until if breaks in, all I know is she claims the first brew was the best cup of coffee she has ever had, however a couple weeks in she says the same thing. About 30 days of use, the descale light came on and even though it will still brew with the light on, she didn't use it that day before work and stopped at starbucks to get a cup and said she ended up throwing away the starbucks because it seemed too weak and didn't taste as good as her machine. When I got home, I followed the instructions on how to descale and it was super simple and took about 30 mins, and she's off making the best coffee she's ever had.I read reviews that this machine is high maintenance, I wouldn't agree with those reviews, you have to add water when it gets low and you have to empty the hockey puck tray every other day. As for descaling, I think there's a built in timer that is based on how many cups of coffee brewed instead of a sensor in the machine sensing scale build-up, I say this because we use R/O water to fill the tank and the machine has a built in filter also. Either way, the maintenance is not excessive. This is by far the best Christmas gift she said I ever got her and seeing her this happy over her coffee makes me happy!By the way, she use to go to starbucks 6 days a week and for what they charge for a cup of coffee, this machine has practically paid for itself as she no longer goes to starbucks!If any of you are on the fence about purchasing this machine, this is the one to buy! I would buy this machine again!

All in all, zero regrets on purchasing this. Considering a basic latte out is $6-$7, this has paid for itself in just a handful of months. It's an investment, but it actually pays for itself.My only complaint is that it's a little finicky... The milk frother is great, but the insert that goes between the machine and the frother will get stopped up. We push the "clean" cycle probably 3+ times to really ensure it gets actually clean - the one cycle it suggests really doesn't do it, and you'll slowly notice it steams less and less milk. The inners of the machine are also a little difficult to clean, but the pressing/brewing unit does come out easily. For the compact size of the unit, I can understand the difficulty to REALLY clean the inside, to a point. For the price, there's a LOT of customization if you read the manual, the espresso is really good for an average guy, and it's REALLY easy.My only "complaint" is that you have to make your drink shot by shot... The latte setting is the larger steamed milk portion and a shot, and it fills a modest coffee mug halfway up - meaning If I want to fill my 16 ounce travel cup, I have to run 3+ cycles to get enough. But, honestly it's a small price to pay and it's not really a significant issue. If you fill the water and beans up the night before, you spend less than 5 minutes making coffee, which is a fraction of the time we used to spend on our manual espresso machine.

Makes having a cappicino or latte a simple process. Very happy with this purchase.

Love this machine, it makes fantastic coffee.Only issue I have is it wants to be descaled too often for our water type.I've read that it leaks, I've had no problems. It cleans before and after every use, I keep a glass there to catch it instead of letting it go in the reservoir.

I had wanted to purchase an espresso machine for a long time. Every time I’d visit a friend’s house and they made me an espresso or americano I would wish I had my own machine. I researched automatic, semi-automatic, manual, etc. and decided on the Delonghi Magnifica Start because I thought it would be simple to us and as I had never owned a machine before, that was important.Ive had the machine now for a few months and I couldn’t be more disappointed. I wake up and dread having a morning coffee (but need caffeine or the headache kicks in). I’ve tried tinkering with the settings: temperature, water amount, grind size, everything that you can control and nothing has come remotely close to what I would have at my friend’s houses. I have tried locally sourced, recently roasted coffee beans, lavazza and the like type beans, I’ve even tried cheap coffee beans and nothing seems to work.I tried reaching out directly to delonghi via their website chat to troubleshoot, and all they did was send me a pdf of the same booklet the machine came with.Having saved up for the machine and receiving some money from family as a gift to purchase, my biggest regret is giving this machine the benefit of the doubt and keeping it beyond the return window to try different beans and settings - hoping something would work out.Don’t make my mistake - avoid this machine.

Yes I know this may sound extreme but I am in love with this product. We have had an expresso machine for years but it was very messy. This machine makes some of the best coffee and it is simple to use and no messy clean up. The only downside is the fact that the panel is not as user friendly. You need to look up codes and which buttons to push in which order to program or interpret what certainly indicators mean. Also it would be handy to have a liner to the area where the coffee grounds empty so it is easier to clean. Currently some of the pucks break apart and are more moist which means I have to rinse the container and some grounds then go down the sink. Much less mess than my previous machine so not really a complaint but a suggestion. Maybe these do exist?I also love that the milk container is dishwasher friendly.

I had used my friend’s exact machine, over the summer while visiting her. Therefore, it was simple for me to set it up. But, had I not known the working of the machine before-hand, I think it would have been complicated to follow the hard copy directions. Be patient as you do it.The coffee is delicious.It is easy to make when all the parts are set up.It is quite a convenient size, even though it makes many different gourmet coffee options (or hot water).My cupboards are quite low since I have hidden lighting below them. So, I set up a coffee centre on a chest with a glass top, beside my counter.Now, it is very easy to access the top for the addition of the coffee beans.I purchased the machine with an automatic frother and it was worth the money. My husband likes lattes. I prefer black coffee. So, it suits us perfectly.I highly recommend this coffee machine.I wonder why I waited so long to buy a really expensive coffee machine?? We always get what we pay for. It is worth the dollars.
