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.
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.
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 😁
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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. 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?
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!"
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.
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 ?
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 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
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?
Had a chat with the local delonghi office as I was asking the difference between some of their machines. Especially this eco and the 23.460 which is older but here about 200 euro cheaper. Same brew unit and same milk handling. Less fancy outside 😂. So will go probably for the 23.460
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 ?
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?
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?
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.
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?
I just bought the Evo thinking it was this one but turns out there’s about loads of versions of the evo. It doesn’t have the milk bottle and no latte button. 😮
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.
Tom, help. You've got your grind setting to 2. I've done setting 3 and the machine is struggling. It doesn't give me a constant extraction, flow. It drips and it takes ages. What can I do? I used freshly roasted beans. Do the drinks get better over time? I've made like 4 espresso and still didn't dial it in... Thanks
If you press the x2 button does it grinds for longer to give a bigger puck, can I then manually cancel the water after I get 40ml so I get a true espresso?
Does anyone know if there is a function on this machine to get frothed milk only (without coffee)? I’d like to add a little extra milk to my cappuccino but can’t work out how/if it is possible to do so without wasting coffee beans. Thanks.
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?
Hi Tom great review. I have a question: ive set the temp at high, grinder setting just like yours and use freshly burned beans(vintage espresso) but my espresso still comes out sour. Do you have any tips or solutions to this problem?
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?
Hello there! Yes, your beans are probably too old - or in other words roasted too long ago. These videos may help: How to extract the perfect espresso: ua-cam.com/video/piO6c695Op8/v-deo.html How to Get Crema: ua-cam.com/video/00NSG9459a8/v-deo.html Why Supermarket Coffee Beans are RUINING your Espresso! ua-cam.com/video/5BgMKqu8fJI/v-deo.html
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?
I bought this machine 2 days ago and my coffee pours way slower than yours I've got the grind setting on 4. One of the nozzles drips the coffee the other runs any idea what could be wrong
Had the same problem, but mine was doing that on any size of the grinder sent back and got a new replacement. I'm going to see if it is going to work as in this video or else all this is just a crap
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 ❤
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
Thank you for this video, sir what do you recommend or what machine is the best? Philips lattego 5400 or Elleta? according to espresso extraction and milk foam? I’m so confused and I can’t decide which one is better 😅. Thank you
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
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, 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.
My English is not good but your pronunciation is so good that I understood every word. I also got answers to every question I had about the machine. Thank you very much. 🤍
Hi, thanks for the video. I’m wondering if you know how this compares to the evo that comes with the wand rather than the automatic creams. Ie the ecam290.22.
Well, this one is easier, since it steams for you. The one with the steam wand will require some practice, but will with practice provide likely a better milk texture.
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

Costco has this machine on sale for $500 for the next couple days. This review helped me to figure out if I wanted to buy it, thanks!
That's a good price, and Costo's return policy and warranty are unbeatable!
My Delonghi Magnifica Evo arrived today and I'm already in love with it!
The great thing about this machine is the fact that it uses granular beams instead of capsule.. definitely getting one
Dude I had a lot of questions and watched a lot of reviews - No one answered my questions like you did - You are great - Thanks for being great :)

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.
Hope you enjoy it! It's my go to reference in this price range.
I did the same. It doesn't have all the drinks as the other Evo. Did you figure out a way to froth milk without making coffee?
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 😁
The review is really very detail!! Thanks so much 👍
Great review. Was not sure which model to buy but your review convinced me. Thanks

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.
Very good. But I would like to ask whether I can make milk froth only with coffee..
Not really. You'd need the Dinamica Plus for that. Sorry!
Can you also use it to make iced lattes? If not, which machine in this price range would you recommend?
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?
Great video. May I ask: Is it easy to clean the inside of the machine? The grinder and area the puck gets pressed?
It's quite easy, just need to rinse it, then soak 5 minutes in water, and rinse, about 1 time per wekk.
I would love to know how to get a less foamy/frothy milk coffee
I just bought the Evo thinking it was this one but turns out there’s about loads of versions of the evo. It doesn’t have the milk bottle and no latte button. 😮
What is the difference between Magnifica Evo 290.81 and the Magnifica Evo 292.81?
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.
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!
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!
Tom, help. You've got your grind setting to 2. I've done setting 3 and the machine is struggling. It doesn't give me a constant extraction, flow. It drips and it takes ages. What can I do? I used freshly roasted beans.
Do the drinks get better over time? I've made like 4 espresso and still didn't dial it in...
Thanks
I think start with a higher grind setting. adjust over time. My new machine wouldn't process it due to the grind being too fine.
If you press the x2 button does it grinds for longer to give a bigger puck, can I then manually cancel the water after I get 40ml so I get a true espresso?
@@Car-guy307 I’m afraid not. It just extends the water by twice the amount.
Hiii! Türkiyeden selamlar . Çok güzel açıklayıcı olmuş. Enjoy your meal ❤
Does anyone know if there is a function on this machine to get frothed milk only (without coffee)? I’d like to add a little extra milk to my cappuccino but can’t work out how/if it is possible to do so without wasting coffee beans. Thanks.
You can keep the powder compartment empty and make a cappucino that way only milk os cpming out
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.
Hi Tom great review. I have a question: ive set the temp at high, grinder setting just like yours and use freshly burned beans(vintage espresso) but my espresso still comes out sour. Do you have any tips or solutions to this problem?
What is the roast degree on the beans? Lighter or darker?
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.
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 Tom, do you know how this machine makes different the cappuccino from the macchiato? For me the latte and the macchiato look almost alike. Thanks.
Honestly, I think they are the same. You can affect these more with manual machines, but not really with superautomatics...
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?
How does the x2 botton work? I know it's for two coffees, but does it grind twice or it just adds more water?
It just adds more water, right. So the drink becomes more watery...
Hey hi! Is there an estimate of how many grams does the machine use for low mid and high concentrations?
I bought this machine 2 days ago and my coffee pours way slower than yours I've got the grind setting on 4. One of the nozzles drips the coffee the other runs any idea what could be wrong
Had the same problem, but mine was doing that on any size of the grinder sent back and got a new replacement. I'm going to see if it is going to work as in this video or else all this is just a crap
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!
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.
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
Thank you for this video, sir what do you recommend or what machine is the best? Philips lattego 5400 or Elleta? according to espresso extraction and milk foam? I’m so confused and I can’t decide which one is better 😅. Thank you
i am in the same boat as well. so close to pull the trigger on either Philips 5400 or Magnifica Evo, this model ECAM292.81.B
Eletta is better than Philips. So is the Dinamica. In fact, I find even the Magnifica Evo is better than the Philips 5400 LatteGo.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner what about the build quality of Evo compared to 5400? Are they comparable?
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!
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.
This is in my experience a little below the Dinamica for espresso and milk, but not by much. Certainly way better than any of the Philiips offerings.
@@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,
When making coffees on my machine the coffee comes out in drops. Takes long time to make 1 cup. I tried to adjust the grinder but still the same.
Sounds like you have to coarsen the grind. It might take a few coffees to realize the difference though. Cheers!
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.
My English is not good but your pronunciation is so good that I understood every word. I also got answers to every question I had about the machine. Thank you very much. 🤍
Awesome - thanks for the feedback!
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!
Mr tom i have bought machine same like this but it doesn’t have rinsing button,,,, please help me
Hi, thanks for the video. I’m wondering if you know how this compares to the evo that comes with the wand rather than the automatic creams. Ie the ecam290.22.
Well, this one is easier, since it steams for you. The one with the steam wand will require some practice, but will with practice provide likely a better milk texture.
My Magnifica Evo has a grinder settings on 4 and when I'm making an espresso it pours very thin and not much crema.
Try freshly roasted beans. :)
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!
