This machine has around 5 variants globally where the drinks menu is different. On the Australian one it has espresso, coffee, and doppio+. Espresso pre infuses and then brews. Coffee brews without preinfusion as it’s a longer pour. Doppio+ is a strong espresso with a longer preinfusion on a higher dose. Each is programmable by volume with only the pre infusion the unique identifying factor of each method. It’s a shame you didn’t do Over Ice as I think that would be comparable to the Long function on previous models which pulses water at lower pressure for a drip-like (and far less bitter) cup. Overall, this is actually one of the more capable machines on the market as it has a steam milk function, three types of brewing, and a grinder that is capable of being set too fine - this means it has the range to be dialled in perfectly. It’s quick, it gets hot, it’s not too noisy, and the milk carafe is very easy to clean compared to the bulkier Lattecrema units. Also, MyLatte uses ALL the milk in the carafe. It has a sensor behind the carafe that detects when low so it stops. There are markings on the carafe so you can choose which milk based drink you want. That is a clever and intuitive way of making things easy and less complicated for people. In Australia we also have Cappuccino Mix on ours - this pours the shot first then the milk. For the price and performance this machine cannot be beat. I left a dual boiler setup and have managed - with some knowledge of coffee - to dial mine in really well. Espresso is top notch. Delonghi uses conical burrs which are more forgiving than flats, like those used in Phillips. You’ll get a lot more full bodied shots with the conicals.
I am loving it, it makes perfect coffee. Didn't know what the Doppio+ does. It is super easy to use and maintain. I have used it both work beans and grounds. One tip for users. If your milk starts to lose its froth make sure to pull the small plastic tubing from the black housing and soak it in hot water to remove small cakes on milk particles. The froth then returns. 😊
De’Longhi Ecom 290-42 machine - beverage options Espresso, Coffee, long, Doppio+ and Americano. Can you tell me How much coffee and water on each drink, how many seconds extraction done for each drink? Thanks
I have just bought a DeLonghi Magnifica Evo ECAM290.21.B. We are very disappointed as we can not get any coffee without pushing the water tank inwards as it otherwise asks for more water or to put in the water tank correctly. We have tried all suggestions without any luck and will now return it.
Great video, thanks guys. I have this machine and love it. But I have a question. It's probably a dumb one, but forgive me, it's my first espresso machine ever :) Each time I turn the Power button on, there is some water coming out from the espresso machine. Then I make my coffee and turn the Power button off and then there is some water coming out from the espresso machine once again. Is it supposed to do that each and every time machine is turned on and off? Is it some kind of rinsing mechanism? Thanks for any input!
@@funover40 Thank you so much for your reply and putting my mind at ease. It made sense to me but my wife casted doubts in me so I had to ask lol. Thank you!
What automatic machine (bean-to-cup) would you recommend to get as close to authentic espresso / best espresso for soul espresso, and americano drinking?
I have the same machine. I haven't been able to make cappuccino or latte foam for a few days now. I tried low fat milk and high fat milk. do you know what is the problem ?
Hello 👋 I recently got this machine as a gift..im wondering 🤔, instead of milk. Can we use likee a liquid coffee creamer likee hazelnut flavor etc..to spruce up the flavor.
I was looking for "Delonghi Magnifica Evo Next ECAM310.60" review, unfortunately, there is no such on this channel. Any advice, how is this machine is different from the "Evo" which is on this review ?
Two different machines...manual vs Auto. Really not a comparison that is easy. It depends on your desire to have customization on your brews vs pressing a button. Both are great. Check our channel for our reviews on all the models
Sorry for the long question, I'm so disappointed. I just got this delonghi 3 days ago. First day works good, next morning not able to make latte or cappuccino, so i did coffee. This morning cleaned everything, reset machine and redid a full restart. No latte, no coffee, and at some point even the cleaning after using water wasnt coming out. I tried to do a clean up with the setting button and the machine was just tryjng to get water but nothing was coming out and the machine was just keeping going so i shut it off. I used starbucks winter blend (flavored), do you think there is something clogged somewhere? But the coffee was going into the tray after the cycle, either wet or some was dry, what can be the problem. Im going to replaced it tomorrow or should I got with another brand?
@@ecscoffeeinc I went to switch/replace my machine yesterday and I bought Lavazza and kicking horse beans. So will see how this one goes. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate.
I am looking at 2 models , the EVO ECAM29084 with latte system and the Dinamica ECAM35020 with the wand. I have looked at more reviews than I can count and still can’t make up my mind. I love lattes and ice coffee, but also enjoy americanos. I guess I’m leaning towards the dinamica, because it’s sounds like there’s more control over the milk, for example, if I want to make froth for a hot chocolate, where it seems you can’t do that with the EVO. However, all the programmed recipes of the EVO are also tempting. Can the Dinamica produce a stronger coffee than the EVO? Thank you!

With the previous model Delonghi Maganifica ECAM22.110.B I am able to choose a standard single expresso for 40ml and double expresso for 80ml of the cofee. Is there a way to set it up with one click of button on this Magnifaca Evo?
Thanks for the review guys. Quick question - I've seen other reviews of this where it says that hot milk can't be created on its own using this machine. If I want a regular coffee from it, but with hot milk (i.e. not a Cappuccino or Latte etc.) would that be achievable via settings/my latte tweaks?
Hmmm good question. The milk would always come out frothy to some degree. So I don't think you will get what you are looking for. You can brew an 8 oz coffee but that would be the best you could do.
Fill the carafe with how much steamed milk you want, *press the bypass grounds button*, press the My Latte button, let it steam the milk and soon as it’s done, hit My Latte again to stop the brew. Booya
Hi, I’m having a problem now every time I try to use the bypass/pre-ground button to make decaf coffee. The “general indicator” light shaped like a triangle lights up and stops the brewing immediately. There’s no info in the instruction manual about what it means or how to troubleshoot that. So my machine won’t make a cup from the pre-ground compartment. Wondering what to do, anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!
No crunching sound when grinding, just a high pitched whirr. The burrs are visible from the hopper when beans are totally out. To use the bypass doser simply press the scoop button, drop it in, then brew.

@@mikelowry9435 Hey Mike. For me, the indicator light ended up being the cleaning warning. After I descaled the machine, it worked fine.

It's worth a shot to try to clean it and see if it clears out the warning.
I am considering a Jura E4, because I only drink espresso and lungo/americano, but do you think it is worth to buy the Jura, if I can also buy this cheaper machine, but then the one without the latte crema system? Thank you!
@@ecscoffeeinc I too am considering the E4 because currently I love my Jura S9 but only use it for the espresso, then use an external frother. I'm tempted by the Delongi and Phillips, but worried I'll notice a difference in the brew quality over the Jura.
I’m just looking at this review. My old Delong’s caffe corso is getting old now and does not have that many features. So looking at this as an upgrade. The only thing you don’t mention. With my caffe corso machine I have to do a de scale. The light comes on and it the process takes around 20 minutes. It can be a pain. Do you have to do a de scale on this machine. Thanks.
Hi ,i get mine tomorrow, couple of questions if anyone can answer plz , How hot do the drinks come out ,im not expecting it to be piping hot but hoping its pretty hot not just warm ? And secondly, if tge machine is turned off at the wall does it reset yiur saved settings?
Hi Danny! The espresso will pour at approximately 93*C and the milk at around 120*C. The drinks will definitely be hot, but will not burn your tongue. Yes! As long as you save correctly the machine can be unplugged and save your settings
Good question. Single but with varying amounts depending on the bean strength selection. Having said that the Brewer can only do usually up to about 16g max. This is a new brewing chamber for Delonghi and I will have to try confirm somehow
Hi - great review thank you. 2 questions really. 1. Did you use espresso beans to make a regular coffee ? and 2. If you want to switch between coffee and espresso beans and there are still beans in the hopper, how easy is it to empty the hopper to replace the beans in there ?
There really is no such thing as an espresso bean . They are all coffee beans but just blended differently. You can use any brand for both. Look for a bean that is good for both. A local roaster can tell you...or buy from us if you can :)
@@sethscott2902 we typically don't do espresso dark..most don't. It is more about the blending of robusta and Arabica or multiple arabicas. As you see it is a tricky distinction. Only way for the beans...use them up or vacuum them out
I had the Phillips 3200 and I returned it because it really didn't make crazy hot coffee. I was wondering if this is a better machine if it really makes a good hot cup of coffee and hot milk if that's what I want. Also, I'd like to know why not buy the dynamic a plus for $800 more. I know that it has other features but is this basically that expensive machine without the Wi-Fi and not as big?
The over ice button slows down the brewing speed for espresso/long espresso (depending on how you program it) so that when it is brewed over ice it does not taste diluted! For an iced latte you can use this function on the shortest size and add cold milk, ice, and any flavouring you want to a glass. Happy brewing!
I have this machine and the pre ground coffee light is on for no reason. I’ve had the machine about a week and have never used pre ground coffee. I can’t seem to turn it off and it won’t let me make any beverages. Does anyone know what’s going on or can offer me some advice?
@@ecscoffeeincwhat I thought was Pre ground coffee light is the coffee grounds light. It was a dumb mistake on my part. I emptied the coffee pucks and everything has been fine. Thanks for your response.
This machine would not be able to do espresso macchiato, but you could try to program one of the milk beverages to be smaller to try and replicate an espresso macchiato!
The default coffee mode will only fill up about 40% of a regular coffee cup. I did the adjustment setting, but still, only got it up to about 60% of a standard-sized coffee cup. Is anyone else experiencing and annoyed by that? In the meantime, my workaround is to do a custom fill 45% and just run the coffee mode twice.
Most supeautomaic machines will brew just under 8oz of liquid coffee. The brewing mechanism inside only holds so much groundcoffee and that is what the coffee-water ratio nets out to. Adding more water would just make the coffee watery.
Wendy, love your reviews, thanks! This sure looks like a re-skinned Philips 3200 series. It will be interesting to see if the brew group is the same when you do the comparison.
Both are aimed at a similar audience and both will produce a decent espresso and milk drink. I was splitting hairs but it came down to what I could but off the shelf locally. I love my Evo - blown away by espresso quality
YES, we've had our De'Longhi Evo only 4 weeks and the filter light is on, needs replacing already! Not impressed tbh. Also the milk frother has stopped working, just spits out hot milk. We clean it after every singe use, which is recommended, it's sooo annoying. This machine is NOT worth the $$$.
@@JJJ12987 Have updated water hardness to 2, and filter light has turned off, thank you. According to the manual, water filter must be changed every 2 months max. Milk not frothing is the bigger problem, a common issue with this unit according to online reviews, and an absolute dealbreaker for us.
The machine does have some problems. One that often occurs is when you connect the milk container. The device does not recognize the container. In addition, the device often freezes. All in all a lot of waste of coffee beans and money.
Hmmm... This machine definitely has a sensor on it to recognize how much milk is in the carafe, but the freezing should not be happening! We recommend reaching out to DeLonghi to see if it can be fixed :)
If it’s such a good machine why do you have to work on them quite a bit to quote you ? I appreciate your techs being good but that statement is concerning.
DeLonghi has so many different espresso machines, and we service both in and out of warranty machines! Many of the machines we see are out of warranty and older. Just like a car, every few years of so you may need to do some maintenance 😊

Different brewer on the Dinamica, more features, and better build quality in our opinion.
hi nice video. what is the difference between delonghi dinamica plus vs magnifica evo ?
The plus has many more features than the Magnifico. EVO is the entry level
If you discount the extra features on the dinamica plus, do the evo & dimanica produce the same quality coffee
Can this do a proper 25 second long shot with around 40ml out?
What does the over ice button do? Can it make iced lattes?
The over ice button slows down the brewing speed for espresso/long espresso (depending on how you program it) so that when it is brewed over ice it does not taste diluted! For an iced latte you can use this function on the shortest size and add cold milk, ice, and any flavouring you want to a glass. Happy brewing!

@@ecscoffeeincwhat I thought was Pre ground coffee light is the coffee grounds light. It was a dumb mistake on my part. I emptied the coffee pucks and everything has been fine. Thanks for your response.
Which do you prefer, the Phillips 3200 or this machine?
This may help. It is more of a fair comparison th-cam.com/video/3tcls7zU8Xo/w-d-xo.html
what about espresso macchiato?
This machine would not be able to do espresso macchiato, but you could try to program one of the milk beverages to be smaller to try and replicate an espresso macchiato!
Love the Seamaster! Great review!
Thanks for watching!
How do you get the milk to come out?
If you only want warm milk, use the by-pass without adding any grinds then hit latte. Only milk comes out. Works for me.
@@patriciahill1073 What do you mean "by-pass"? Can you explain in a bit more detail?
Hello from Romania
Can you make 2 cups of coffee at once?
I wanna get this machine as a xmas gift It looks pretty good So u just need coffee beans in there no capsule needed?
No capsules
The default coffee mode will only fill up about 40% of a regular coffee cup. I did the adjustment setting, but still, only got it up to about 60% of a standard-sized coffee cup. Is anyone else experiencing and annoyed by that? In the meantime, my workaround is to do a custom fill 45% and just run the coffee mode twice.
Most supeautomaic machines will brew just under 8oz of liquid coffee. The brewing mechanism inside only holds so much groundcoffee and that is what the coffee-water ratio nets out to. Adding more water would just make the coffee watery.
Wendy, love your reviews, thanks! This sure looks like a re-skinned Philips 3200 series. It will be interesting to see if the brew group is the same when you do the comparison.
We shall see!
Both are aimed at a similar audience and both will produce a decent espresso and milk drink. I was splitting hairs but it came down to what I could but off the shelf locally. I love my Evo - blown away by espresso quality
@Norman Osborn Glad the Evo works for you!
Where do the grinds go
There is a bin behind the drip tray
I’ve got a brand new one and the latte option isn’t available for some reason
You may have purchased the one with the wand and not the latte crema system.There are two
@@ecscoffeeinc I fixed it last night and realised the part that holds the milk was on backwards but looked ok but obviously wasn’t. Works fine now 😂
Can I just do hot milk without coffee?
How can i clean it
Hi Eman! There are a few cleaning processes for this machine... Which one are you inquiring about? :)
When she sipped the results, all she got was milk foam. Is that the desired result?
Does it make very hot coffee, I want a machine that makes very hot coffee
We find the espresso very hot, though other find it not hot enough. If you want very hot coffee a drip machine may be better!
Is there even one automatic at any price point that can do a 25 second shot with 40, max 50ml out?
Price?
Current pricing can be found at www.ecscoffee.com
Can you make a hot chocolate with this machine just use the milk, not the coffee?
Does this machine use filters in any way? If yes, how often are they changed? Love your videos keep it up!
@@Grizzle123 Thanks!
YES, we've had our De'Longhi Evo only 4 weeks and the filter light is on, needs replacing already! Not impressed tbh. Also the milk frother has stopped working, just spits out hot milk. We clean it after every singe use, which is recommended, it's sooo annoying. This machine is NOT worth the $$$.
@@gabby_9942 Just want to check, did you measure your water hardness and update the configuration?
@@JJJ12987 Have updated water hardness to 2, and filter light has turned off, thank you. According to the manual, water filter must be changed every 2 months max. Milk not frothing is the bigger problem, a common issue with this unit according to online reviews, and an absolute dealbreaker for us.
@@gabby_9942 Sorry to hear that. I'm replying to you drinking a lovely latte from the machine. Definitely hope you get help from their support.
To bad they didn't have somebody other than Brad spit doing their commercial..
The machine does have some problems. One that often occurs is when you connect the milk container. The device does not recognize the container. In addition, the device often freezes. All in all a lot of waste of coffee beans and money.
Hmmm... This machine definitely has a sensor on it to recognize how much milk is in the carafe, but the freezing should not be happening! We recommend reaching out to DeLonghi to see if it can be fixed :)
I was hopping they show how to clean there the trash goes.
Are you referring to cleaning the drip tray? Super simple! Just remove, empty the grind, and wash :)
If it’s such a good machine why do you have to work on them quite a bit to quote you ? I appreciate your techs being good but that statement is concerning.
DeLonghi has so many different espresso machines, and we service both in and out of warranty machines! Many of the machines we see are out of warranty and older. Just like a car, every few years of so you may need to do some maintenance 😊
What happened to Rebecca
Rebecca moved on from ECS but she is back for the holidays...maybe we can talk her into another video:)
@@ecscoffeeinc congratz to her! I assume ECS coffee was a stepping stone for her career move. And yeah it would be awesome to have not only Rebecca but recent former staff to reunite for a holiday video. 😇
Why doesn't the machine make foam in the milk? Because its just plain milk that the machine adds.
Error simulator
Garbage machines. Less than 2 weeks at nilk comes out not frothed.
Have you run a milk cleaning cycle through the machine yet?
@ecscoffeeinc no we rinse it. With the button. And clean the hose.
