Field Notes
Espresso / lungo: 8/10
Regular, clean coffee in the De'Longhi tradition at this price. Nothing exceptional, everything reliable.
Ease of use: 8.5/10
Simple touchscreen, immediate learning curve, direct cleaning. The machine's strong point.
Milk froth: 7/10
Classic wand: decent froth with practice, but it is the weak point versus carafe machines.
Maintenance: 8.5/10
Removable parts, guided descaling: simple like other Magnifica machines.
Pros
