Product Description

De’Longhi Magnifica Bean to Cup Espresso and Cappuccino Machine

The Magnifica ESAM4200.S is a must for any budding barista taking their first step into domestic bean-to-cup machines. You can make Espresso and Americano at the touch of a button, using the traditional milk frother make the perfect lungo, latte, cappuccino or any other milky drink. It produces 15 bar restaurant and coffee house standard coffee in the comfort of your own home, and in the simplest way.

All aspects of a typical professional pump espresso machine (like the ones you see in your high street coffee bar), such as grinders, filter holders and steam pipes, are found working inside the Magnifica. De’Longhi has simply redesigned, compacted and hidden them inside the machine. Magnifica expertly performs all of these functions at the touch of one button. The traditional milk frother allows you to impress your guests by manually frothing the milk whilst making them the perfect cappuccino or latte.

Traditional milk frother
Traditional milk frother view larger
Traditional Milk Frother

Café Latte, Cappuccinos and Latte Macchiatos can be made using the traditional milk frother to froth the milk. Using any cold milk, you can adjust the steam pressure and manually steam the milk in a barista-style fashion to create the prefect froth.

The electronic steam and coffee thermostat ensures accurate adjustable steam control. The Magnifica can be set to adjustable quantities of coffee and water which help create that perfect, individually tailored cup of coffee every time.

Integrated burr grinder

Integrated Burr Grinder

The integrated professional burr grinder has 7 adjustable coarseness settings. The taste and quality of your coffee depends heavily on how finely the beans have been ground. Choose the finer setting for a stronger taste or a more coarse setting for a weaker tasting coffee. The coffee beans are freshly ground for each serving. The coffee strength is fully programmable, so you can change the amount of coffee it grinds and dispenses from 7g to 11g.

Removable brewing unit

Removable Brewing Unit

The brewing unit provides perfect heat distribution. It does all of the priming, pre-brewing, warming up, coffee dosing, coffee tamping and extraction for you. It is automatically rinsed every time you turn the machine on or off. The innovative design means the brewing unit is removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Thermoblock

Thermoblock is an advanced type of boiler found in all De’Longhi bean to cup coffee machines. It only heats enough water for your coffee serving. Achieving a stable and accurately controlled water temperature that is crucial for brewing the perfect coffee. This reduces warm-up time so that your coffee machine is ready for use in seconds and is also more energy efficient than traditional boilers. The Coffee temperature can be tailored further in the menu settings.

Two cup option
Two cup option view larger
One or two cups

Select one or two cups of coffee at the same time just by pressing the relevant button. The number of coffees selected is indicated with a single or double cup on the front panel. This function is available for the black coffee options on the machine and automatically adjusts the amount of coffee ground in a single brewing cycle.

Rotary dials
Rotary dials view larger
Personalising Coffee Functions

Two rotary dials on the machine allow you to tailor your favourite coffee by the amount of water and coffee strength (amount of coffee ground).

Automatic Shut Off

The Magnifica will automatically switch itself off after a pre-set amount of time has elapsed.

Adjustable Coffee Dispenser

The coffee dispenser can be moved up or down to accommodate either full size latte glasses or espresso cups.

Ergonomic and Easy to Use

Both the water and coffee grounds containers are at the front of the machine, so they can be easily removed for cleaning. The water tank is easy to refill, simply take it to the tap and fill. It will hold up to 1.8 litres of water.

The Bean-to-cup Journey

The function of a bean-to-cup machine is just as the name suggests: literally delivering coffee straight from freshly ground beans into your cup in seconds. After pressing one button to select ‘espresso’, the bean-to-cup journey starts at the integral coffee bean grinder. An adjustable, professional conical burr grinder will expertly grind the beans to your desired coarseness.

The ground coffee is then packed tightly by the internal brewing unit. Hot water is forced through the coffee up to a professional 15 bar pressure. The espresso is then delivered straight into the cup. The hallmark of a perfect espresso is recognised by the ‘crema’: a creamy, hazelnut-coloured layer that sits on top of the espresso to seal in the temperature and flavour. The thicker the crema, the better the espresso and the quality of the machine that produced it.

If you have run out of coffee beans or want/prefer to use pre-ground coffee instead (decaffeinated for example), use the control panel to change the settings and put ground coffee in the ground coffee compartment.

De’Longhi Quality and Coffee

Quality and reliability remain integral to De’Longhi brand values. All products are subjected to rigorous quality checks. The top of the range machines are still designed, produced and assembled by hand in the Italian production sites, in order to uphold the expected high standards.

Coffee Club

When you have purchased your Magnifica, you will be invited to join The De’Longhi Coffee Club to access a world of coffee inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this thing reliable? 15 July 2009
By Buddha
I don't often write reviews, but this machine deserves every good word said about it. I have owned one for 3.5 years now, and it's still going strong. So if reliability is what has you sitting on the fence, jump off and buy one. On to the details.

We bought 3 of these in Germany; one as a wedding gift, one for us, and one for my office at work. Unfortunately, when I moved to the UK, I lost the one in the office (office personnel had "joint" purchased it). The one that was a wedding gift is used every day and is still running fine. The office one was used EXTENSIVELY and was still working at the 1.5 year point when I bid a tearful farewell to it. The one in my home... wow. I'm an espresso nut, having lived in Italy for four years. I work that thing to the bone; it has made at least 5 espressos ~every~ single day of those three years that I was home and is still running strong. The only "bad" cup of coffee that I've had from this thing is when I bought low-quality beans.

To address some specific things mentioned in other reviews, I'd just like to say that this thing makes crema so well that sugar will sit on top of it...if you know the trick. Use a properly-sized espresso cup and heat it before making your coffee. Rather than relying on the heater on top of the machine (the silver part in the picture), just boil some water in the kettle and dump it in the cup; it's a lot faster. Adjust the dispensing spout -- the part with two little silver spouts directly above the cups in the picture. That piece moves up and down. The closer you get it to your cup, the better the crema. Adjust your grind; regardless of what others may have experienced, I find the adjustable grind to be perfect. It is, however, VERY dependent on what type of beans you use. I've had to tweak it nearly every time I use a different type of beans to get it to the perfect grind. Also, if you find that the puck grounds get mouldy from sitting too long, my only comment is this -- you're not drinking enough coffee. ;-) Last note before pros/cons/tips -- this machine requires that ~you~ put milk in a container and froth it for cappucino; it's not "fully" automatic, but the frothing bit works great (when used with skill).

Pros
*Extremely reliable (3 machines monitored over 3.5 years with no flaws)
*Near-perfect espresso
*Capability to use pre-ground (separate compartment, one cup at a time) for the decaf crowd
*Great frothing tool for cappucino (see tips)
*Fully adjustable grind, strength (amount of coffee used) and water (for "long" coffees) with single or double cup buttons
*Auto shut-off after about 2hrs

Cons
*A touch on the noisy side during start up and when it grinds
*Can scramble your freeview signal (though this is the fault of house wiring/antenna, not the machine)
*Doesn't know when I'm going to wake up and automatically have an espresso ready for me when I get to the kitchen

Tips
*Read the manual. No, really. Read the manual.
*Use quality coffee. Always. (Lavazza Rosso or Espresso is good, Il Pascucci from southern Italy if you can find it)
*Pay attention to getting your grind set right
*Heat your cups with boiling water before making the coffee
*Make all of your espresso shots BEFORE switching to frothing mode for cappucino
*Use the descaler that comes with it, then switch to white vinegar for cleaning (has worked for me for 2 years)
*Go on vacation to Italy and learn how to make proper espresso and how to froth milk -- it really is an art
*Honestly -- it takes time to perfect the frothing. Don't give up until you've talked to someone that knows how.

So what am I doing on Amazon looking at these if mine is so reliable? Yep, you caught me ... I'm thinking of buying another one for the office here...

2.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee but only lasts for 2 years 13 Dec 2010
By gep
Firstly this machine provides great coffee. It is simple to use and everyone who has visited us remarked on the quality of the brews. If it is great tasting coffee you want, in a machine that is simple enough to use then get this but BEWARE.
After two years it broke down. We took it to the DeLonghi registered repairers and the cost to repair was prohibitive. The repair guy was helpful though as he explained that there is a hidden counter inside that records the number of coffees you have made and so helps the service engineers. His view was that the machine thus broke down prematurely if out of warranty and that we should write to de Longhi. Two letters and two email inquiries later we have given up with them. They did not refuse to do anything about this but simply have ignored all four communications.
So "buyer beware" from our experience this excellent machine will last on medium use for two years before terminal break down, despite careful and sensitive use. De Longhi appear to be indifferent to this limited life cycle. Shame really.
In sum:
Five stars for coffee,
One star for value for money since it lasts two years with medium use,
One star for non existent de Longhi customer service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine all-round. 5 Mar 2009
By keribillen TOP 500 REVIEWER
Just replaced my Nespresso capsule machine with this. Makes great coffee time and again. Very versatile and variable, so well worth spending time to tweak the settings to suit whatever type of coffee you want. Very easy to keep clean and maintain. Warms up quickly. Gives better results and is more consistent than a capsule machine whilst having just as much convenience (arguably more so) and better environmental credentials (no waste capsule or capsule packaging!). Upfront cost is higher than most capsule machines but the running costs will be much lower, and so it will pay for itself within a year and then save me a lot of money for years to come. Buying this over a capsule machine is a no-brainer.

Am being picky by awarding four stars. Would award five stars if it had a more usefully laid out top surface (has three awkwardly-shaped long and thin areas divided up for the beans compartment, ground coffee compartment and the hot-plate for the mugs/cups).

Am very happy with this product so far.

**UPDATE JULY 16th 2011** Still going strong despite a lot of use since its purchase.

**UPDATE APRIL 25th 2012** Machine finally gave up the ghost. Survived three years of intense use. I cannot complain. I heartily recommend it, still.
