Field Notes

Espresso / lungo: 8.5/10

Consistent espresso with a correct crema - a notch below premium machines but easily at the level of the Magnifica range.

Hot froth (LatteCrema Hot): 9/10

Dense, creamy froth at the right temperature. The milk-circuit rinse is mandatory but quick.

Cold drinks and Cold Brew: 9.5/10

The real argument: iced lattes with velvety froth and smooth Cold Brew served in under 5 minutes. Nothing else in this segment does it as well.

Display: 8.5/10

Clear, responsive 2.4-inch TFT, 3 handy profiles. Menus take a while to master at first.

Noise: 7.5/10

Audible grinder at start-up and a present pump, nothing annoying.

Pros

• 20 hot and cold drinks
• Effective LatteCrema Hot and Cool
• Immediate Cold Brew in the cup
• Intuitive display with 3 profiles
• Dishwasher-safe parts

Cons

• Tank a bit small for a family
• Milk-circuit cleaning after each milk drink
• Price around 700 euros

Verdict

The Magnifica Duo is the most accomplished hot + cold compromise in De'Longhi's 2026 catalogue: most of what the Eletta Explore does, without its 1000-euro price. Our versatile recommendation for families drinking coffee all year round.
