De'Longhi Magnifica review
Updated 2026-06-10
A fully automatic bean-to-cup machine that grinds, doses and brews at the push of a button, prioritising convenience over manual control.
Our opinion
7.1/10
Convenience over craft
This is the machine for people who want good coffee and none of the ceremony. Press a button, get a cup, get on with your morning. You give up the fun of pulling a shot and a little quality at the very top end, and in return you never have to think about it. For a busy household, that is a fair deal.
