Been watching your videos and I have a budget of 1,500 to 2,000$ CAD. I was planning on buying the lattego 5400 (mainly a latte, cappuccino and regular coffee drinker) but watching the other videos, I'm not sure anymore. Which one would you recommend? Thanks for you help :)
Thank You for your Review, it was actually a really good one. I recently purchased a Delonghi Magnifica Evo and I have to say I’m very impressed and satisfied with the product . It’s my first one from them. 🎩
You helped us make our decision after months of bantering back and forth. Absolutely in love with this machine and the coffee that we can get from it. Formerly a Gaggia owner, and this is so "simply" wonderful!
Just bought this model today, xmas present for the wife and I. Wont be used until our new house build is finished in spring time. Really looking forward to it :)
Followed the video to learn how to work it. I used to have a Delonghi but a different version. Made my first cup following the instructions on the video and it was perfection! Thank you
I have this model. Ive used these machines for years, and know a lot about the features of a lot of models. When I purchased this one {EVO with milk despensor} I found that it is everything I could ever asked for. It is very well made, and coffee and frother works great! I would buy it again, anytime.

I purchased this espresso machine on Costco with a nice $200 discount this weekend. I look forward to trying it at home. Thanks for the video.
The only way to do that is by selecting the grounded coffee instead of beans(and leave the compartment empty) and then press the my latte.This way it will only give you the milk because there is no grounded coffee 😁
Türkçeye çevirmiş olmanız çok süper teşekkür ederim 🙏🏼 Çok video izledim Türkiye’de detaylı anlatım üzgünüm çok yok bu çok iyi olmuş tüm sorulara cevap buldum saygılar.
I use dinamica plus. I heard that de longhi uses too much water for espresso- 40ml when classic espresso is about 25-30ml. Because of that, espresso can be a bit too watery. Am I right? What is the solution? Lowering espresso volume in settings( small coffe, or manual setting )?
You can set the Dinamica Plus to your own amount of beans and drink volume, using the "My Drink" feature. I have programmed one to be about 25ml. But yes, the pucks are also a bit smaller than a traditional espresso machine. I will be doing a video on the Dinamica Plus soon enough. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner yes, i tried that but it is dificult to set a proper amount of coffe ml manualy. It would be easier if de longhi had ml settings in menu. I also tried to set max coffe aroma and small coffe from control panel. The espresso volume was about between 25 -30ml, so closer to real espresso. Do you think that jura makest much better espresso, closer to the "real" one than de longhi?
Looks like a great piece of kit. Was all set to hit the button to purchase it until I saw the depth of the machine. It’s pretty big lol. Back to the drawing board.
Great video. You were the reason I purchased this particular machine. I love the way my drinks all come out. I've only had it about 2 weeks and started having an issue with the sensor for the the milk drinks, though. I have to trick it by placing something white between the sensor and the milk container (per Delonghi Customer Svc). It's fine for the 2 standard milk drinks, but it becomes an issue with the My Latte drink.
@@TomsCoffeeCorneraccording to delonghi “it’s not a defective machine” and if I exchange the machine, it is likely to happen with the replacement. . .but technically it is defective. I clean the machine every day, if you aren’t careful and do not remove the “white” fakeout, it will produce steam and someone can get burned if not careful. I’ve been doing some comparison with the Phillips superautomatic machine, but I really do love the delonghi.
Nice machine I had got one because was on sale,but more noisy then the Prima Donna S and Magnifica s.I keep on 2 beans and med hot.Pucks always perfect.Grinder needs to be changed only when its working...its a Delonghi thing. Great video as always Tom.
Thanks for sharing! It's a little loud when turning the spindle to compress the puck, but the result is worth it over other superautomatics, in my opinion. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner yes most def,you must try the Prima Donna its the absolute best. I use all with diff beans.The Dedica I dont use much now too much hassle with grinding and all.
From another viewer: "On the magnifica EVO, to do hot cocoa, you can drop the powder in the cup, attach the milk frother full, select the grinder bypass but don’t actually load any coffee, hit the my latte button, and it’ll empty the frother into the glass and then cancel itself because there’s no coffee in the bypass. Magical!"
This is a great review, thank you very much! It would also be great to see a review of the new Magnifica Plus machine. I can’t find a good review of it anywhere, but the new display, the number of drinks, the extra shot function and the larger milk container are attractive. I'm thinking between it and Evo.
So, if the 'espresso' setting actually produces a 'lungo', can the volume be adjusted or do you just interrupt the shot? Also, the shot time seems very short. Would it help to make the grind finer?
This reminds me a lot of the Phillips 3200 lattego! A few months after they came out I got cousins to pitch in and buy one for our amazing cousins housewarming. It's well-loved and so easy to maintain but I haven't seen anything to compete with on the market until possibly this unit. I love those simple easy to clean milk carafes without any straws or crevices to have to struggle to clean that the Lattego series have.
I actually find that this machine outperforms the Philips LatteGo. The espresso is a fair bit more intense, and the milk foam a better consistency too. I was honestly surprised. But bear in mind that I am using very good Dinzler Il Gustoso coffee beans, which is important in the result.
@TomsCoffeeCorner understood, but from a bean to Cup machine, that lattego milk carafe is an Amazing piece of engineering for the fact it actually works whether it's producing high-quality latte foam or not. It functions so well, is ridiculously easy to clean and it's even top rack dishwasher safe. Now if it would actually make real (read good quality) espresso
@TomsCoffeeCorner A little too much bias, in my opinion. The LatteGo outperforms the DeLonghi on Amazon reviews. I'll probably get the 5500 LatteGo just to have the silent brew and iced coffee options.
@KRWWWLNG that makes sense. For ease of use in cleaning it's freaking amazing. It might not make the same quality microfiam milk as a couple other machines but those are all a reliant upon internal systems and a milk uptake tube you have to clean. My cousin has done absolutely no maintenance on her latte go 3200 in years. Massively neglecting it but using it daily and she has a roommate that also uses it
many thanks for your comment i just buy this machine this weekend just can you please help me how i can do latte machiatto or flat white from this machine ? or any other coffe which we can create from this one ?
Thanks for this great review. I just had mine delivered today. The factory settings seem to be working great with my beans, however, I would like to see if I can further improve the quality of my espressos. Two questions you might be able to help with; 1. How can increasing the temperature effect the quality of the espresso? 2. Is there a way to purge hot water through the coffee nozzles before making a coffee to get the system warmed up to the point that it is at perfect temperature on my first espresso? Really appreciate any help you can provide.
Hi. Thanks for the very helpful video. We just got this machine and noticed, as you showed in your video, how the machine always ejects some water when it's first started, like a pre-clean step. Is there any way to turn that feature off and on?
Just purchased it 😊 and I’m glad that you liked it 😂 I’m busy with the set up. My first coffee will be for tomorrow morning 😍 The only thing I would say is that it would have been good to have a milk only option for when my son wants to have a hot cocoa (but he can still use the microwave 😜)
You can use the my latte option and be ready to remove it before the coffee comes.. I did that by mistake and was really nice fluffy cup of milk 😊 I know you will have espresso left but it's worth it 😊
I think i’ve just found a way around this after a bit of wasted coffee. Before pressing my latte change the coffee bean setting to decaf scoop (but don’t load any). Bingo, hot milk only. My 5yo seems to be getting just as much use out of the machine as we are!
Hi! What grind setting on my separate grinder would you recommend to use for the separate pre ground chute? Fine, medium, coarse? I’m asking because we need to use for decaf too. So one for regular in bean hopper and decaf in the chute. Also, can the machine use any beans? Or only ones that aren’t oily.
Hello Tom, I have been searching to buy one of the full automatic espresso machines. I like the features of the magnifica plus but it has only 15 bar pressure just like this magnifica evo. Should I go for rivelia or dinamica with 19 bar pressure or 15 bar pressure enough for you? Thank you
Hi Tom, what is your take on the machine when comparing it with the Dinamica Plus. I am on a tight budget and want to have the better coffee espresso experience between the 2. Thank you for your support.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thank you for your inputs, my take on the Dinamica is also based on your review of the machine, and that is why it is in my choice list
Hi Tom, Your video review convinced me to get a Magnifica Evo, and I set it up yesterday. However, when I set the grind to 2, it clogs up the machine, and I've ended up wasting a lot of money on coffee that doesn't come out at all. Also, the tamper doesn't dispose of a puck, but more like regular grinds. What am I doing wrong?
on grind 1 the coffee doesnt come out. The finer scale I can go is 4-4.5. And I am asking. Are there different magnefica models with different types of basket? (pressurized non-pressurized). Cause in my case, it seems that I have a nice variety of grind options, which is nice, but in the end I cant use them. Do you have any idea?
This machine seems really impressive! You didn’t give much indication of quality of construction, does it seem like it will last? I’m currently using a Gaggia Brera. The Brera’s flat burr grinder limits you to beans on the lighter side of medium to light roasts. Can this machine reliably grind med-dark roasts?
Just bought one of these and this saved a lot of head scratching, clarified a few things for me - Thanks :-) - Now, as I don't have particularly hard water do I bother with the water filter or not?
I still went with the Philips 5500 Lattego because it does more types of drinks. This model seem to only have five drinks: Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Iced Coffee, and Coffee. I do like that it does iced coffee though but you didn't review that mode. Also you can store the frother in the fridge with the Delonghi.
I just bought a machine. After setting it up, coffee is leaking all into the grounds container and no coffee goes out in the glass from the nozzles. When i do rinse, water comes out from the nozzles normally. Any ideas if its faulty or something is wrong?
Are you guys having good compact pucks on the Magnifica EVO? Mine isn't really able to produce compact pucks. I have the grind at 3 now, 2 or 1 are even worst. Should I try 4? Any feedback?
What's the coffee quality of Delonghi Magnifica Evo vs. the Philips 4300. My experience is the Philips makes a weak intensity cup of coffee. Your opinion would be appreciated.
Could help you answer this question: between the Philips 5400 and the Delonghi Magnifica Evo, which of these two automatic coffee machines would you choose for your home?
Very knowledgeable man you are. Thanks for the videos! I love my coffee very hot, does it make it hot enough? Can I make latte and cortado with this machine right? How I can adjust this with my latte function? Thanks in advance!
I bought this one today and noticed that you did not have the water filter, which came with the unit, in the water container. When should I use that as other videos put the filter in but that may be only when they are using it for the first time. Love the video and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Great review! Thanks.. Also wanted to know if i can select coffee crema option with high heat setting like you used the my latte when in settings? Thanks a lot ❤
I am have having a really tough time between this model and the Phillips 3200. I read a couple of side-by-sides that said the Delonghi produced a better expresso, as the pour is 30 seconds compared to the Phillips 15 seconds. Apart from this extraction benefit, I prefer the Phillips in every other way, ceramic grinder vs. steel, no milk tubes to clean, etc. What say you?
I find the coffee and milk better on the Delonghi. Cleaning the milk container is about the same on each. But you gotta choose what you prefer. Cheers!

Hi. What would be your choice between Delonghi Magnifica evo and Philips EP3343 50? The price is the same (approx. €430). We drink more coffee with milk (cappuccino) and watching your video it seems to me that the Delonghi produces better foam and seems easier to use and clean. Thanks
Hi. Thank you so much for your video. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the EVO with the DESCALING option. Does that option also doubles as the temperature guage? TIA
Anyone here able to help me? I was looking at this machine today and it's between this and the Magnifica S Smart Model which is around £70 cheaper. My question is regarding the milk frother and the MyLatte feature. Can you use a very small amount of milk to try and replicate something close to a Cortado or do you have to use quite a lot of milk to use the frother? My preference is for limited milk in my coffee drinks and there's no way I'd use as much milk as demonstrated in Tom's video. Many thanks in advance for any help on this matter. Cheers
Hello can you please help brought this machine but when it gives the coffee it comes very little like drips its not coming out like in the video soo annoyed with it is it normal does it have a setting for it ?
Hi, thank you very much for your review. I just wanted to ask you about the 2x button. What does that thing do? It makes two full extractions (ground, compact, and extract) so you can have two coffees?
I would still descale, because using filtered water, although much better than unfiltered, still does have some minerals in it. It still builds up over time in the lines.
Hi, Tom, what would you recommend from automatic coffee machines? My wife loves really good latte and I like black coffee. I can't really decide. I'm thinking about Delonghi, Philips or Saeco. Thank you!
Hi Tom, thank you for this video. Only about espresso and capuccino taste, how do you compare the results from this machine with the ECP3420 and the Dedica EC885?
Well, portafilter espresso machines are still better, but this does quite a good job for a superautomatic. Drinks will be less potent though, if you know what I mean.

Amazing Review! But wondering if you would know how to dispense froth milk only? They say click my latte button twice but doesn’t seem to work!
Just make sure your milk carafe is filled up, and inserted completely. It should work. But you have to abort before it tries pulling a shot. Cheers!

Hi Tom! What do you think is better for cappuccino & lattes, the DeLonghi Magnifica Evo or the Nespresso Creatista?
Sorry, haven't tried the Creatista yet! But those capsules only have 5 grams of coffee, which is not enough for a proper cappuccino imho.

The Brera’s flat burr grinder limits you to beans on the lighter side of medium to light roasts. Can this machine reliably grind med-dark roasts?
Just bought one of these and this saved a lot of head scratching, clarified a few things for me - Thanks :-) - Now, as I don't have particularly hard water do I bother with the water filter or not?
No, you don't have to. But still I'd recommend using a brita filter and descaling regularly to prolong its life.
I still went with the Philips 5500 Lattego because it does more types of drinks. This model seem to only have five drinks: Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Iced Coffee, and Coffee. I do like that it does iced coffee though but you didn't review that mode. Also you can store the frother in the fridge with the Delonghi.
I just bought a machine. After setting it up, coffee is leaking all into the grounds container and no coffee goes out in the glass from the nozzles. When i do rinse, water comes out from the nozzles normally. Any ideas if its faulty or something is wrong?
Can you give us an update please?
Are you guys having good compact pucks on the Magnifica EVO? Mine isn't really able to produce compact pucks. I have the grind at 3 now, 2 or 1 are even worst. Should I try 4? Any feedback?
Hey hi! Is there an estimate of how many grams does the machine use for low mid and high concentrations?
What's the coffee quality of Delonghi Magnifica Evo vs. the Philips 4300. My experience is the Philips makes a weak intensity cup of coffee. Your opinion would be appreciated.
You are right. The Philips machines are quite a bit weaker, because their pucks are smaller. Cheers!
Could help you answer this question: between the Philips 5400 and the Delonghi Magnifica Evo, which of these two automatic coffee machines would you choose for your home?
I'd take the Evo. Shots and milk texture slightly better than the 5400.
Very knowledgeable man you are. Thanks for the videos!
I love my coffee very hot, does it make it hot enough? Can I make latte and cortado with this machine right? How I can adjust this with my latte function? Thanks in advance!
For me, it's hot enough. The MyLatte function just dispenses milk until the carafe is empty. Cheers!
I bought this one today and noticed that you did not have the water filter, which came with the unit, in the water container. When should I use that as other videos put the filter in but that may be only when they are using it for the first time. Love the video and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I bought mine used, so it may have been discarded. Anyway, I always filter my water first with a Brita, before putting it in the machine. Cheers!
Great review! Thanks..
Also wanted to know if i can select coffee crema option with high heat setting like you used the my latte when in settings? Thanks a lot ❤
Yes, you can do that. It's for the shot in general. Cheers!
Dose it make good flat white?
I am have having a really tough time between this model and the Phillips 3200. I read a couple of side-by-sides that said the Delonghi produced a better expresso, as the pour is 30 seconds compared to the Phillips 15 seconds. Apart from this extraction benefit, I prefer the Phillips in every other way, ceramic grinder vs. steel, no milk tubes to clean, etc. What say you?
I find the coffee and milk better on the Delonghi. Cleaning the milk container is about the same on each. But you gotta choose what you prefer. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you. Delonghi it is!
@@Navillus2273 Good choice i bought it delonghi
I'm confused between this one and the Capsules Nespresso grand lattissima !! ... which one should i go for ???!
I'd recommend this over a capsule machine any day!
Are the results on the automatics better than on the dedica/ECP?
No, but easier.
Thinking of buying this or dinamica plus. Given the price difference, is dinamica worth buying or Magnifica evo is good enough?
It depends on your market. For me it's just another 150 or so, so it's worth it.
great video Tom. I can not get my magnifica evo to make the crema. can you help me with this issue?
Hello there! Yes, your beans are probably too old - or in other words roasted too long ago.

Hi thanks for your great reviews, this machine has better quality espresso or Philips 4400 series?
@@DigiTechTools This one. I am not impressed with Phillips in comparison to Delonghi.
Hi. What would be your choice between Delonghi Magnifica evo and Philips EP3343 50? The price is the same (approx. €430). We drink more coffee with milk (cappuccino) and watching your video it seems to me that the Delonghi produces better foam and seems easier to use and clean. Thanks
I wanted that Philips too, but got this one at 230€ on black friday. I use the my latte feature daily
Hi. Thank you so much for your video. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the EVO with the DESCALING option. Does that option also doubles as the temperature guage? TIA
Sorry but I don't think this machine has a temperature gauge. Cheers!
Anyone here able to help me? I was looking at this machine today and it's between this and the Magnifica S Smart Model which is around £70 cheaper. My question is regarding the milk frother and the MyLatte feature. Can you use a very small amount of milk to try and replicate something close to a Cortado or do you have to use quite a lot of milk to use the frother? My preference is for limited milk in my coffee drinks and there's no way I'd use as much milk as demonstrated in Tom's video. Many thanks in advance for any help on this matter. Cheers
Hello can you please help brought this machine but when it gives the coffee it comes very little like drips its not coming out like in the video soo annoyed with it is it normal does it have a setting for it ?
Hi, thank you very much for your review. I just wanted to ask you about the 2x button. What does that thing do? It makes two full extractions (ground, compact, and extract) so you can have two coffees?
On my model, it just makes twice the volume, so instead of 30ml it makes 60ml, resulting in a more watery espresso.
If you had to pick between the Magnifica Evo vs Start Espresso. Which one would you choose?
The Evo and Start are the same machine, just with a slightly different look. Cheers!
How is it different to the dinamica plus ? In terms of espresso taste and the justification of the price
This makes smaller pucks than the Dinamica Plus. So, I recommend the Dinamica Plus if you can swing it.
We buy filtered water for drinking and cooking. So do we need to descale and use provided the filter?
I would still descale, because using filtered water, although much better than unfiltered, still does have some minerals in it. It still builds up over time in the lines.
Hi Tom. Great video, thank you. Where are DeLonghi coffee machines manufactured, in Italy or China?
China
Hi, great, thanks! Does this machine has to be descaled?
Oh yes, ALL espresso and coffee machines for that matter.
I just bought it and found this video. Very helpful thank you so much 🎉
Can you froth the milk without the coffee
Good question - I will have to fire this up again and take a look.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner please do my G
2:35 you need to do it everytime you turn on the machine? or its one time setting
Hi, Tom, what would you recommend from automatic coffee machines? My wife loves really good latte and I like black coffee. I can't really decide. I'm thinking about Delonghi, Philips or Saeco.
Thank you!
Of those, I like Delonghi the best. Jura is also a great machine. I'd recommend the Magnifica Evo, or maybe the Dinamica Plus.
Hi Tom, thank you for this video.
Only about espresso and capuccino taste, how do you compare the results from this machine with the ECP3420 and the Dedica EC885?
Well, portafilter espresso machines are still better, but this does quite a good job for a superautomatic. Drinks will be less potent though, if you know what I mean.
