De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Milk: Automatic Espresso Machine, LatteCrema Hot System, Built-In 13-Setting Grinder

Cappuccino, without becoming a barista

The DeLonghi Magnifica Evo Milk is a super-automatic espresso machine built for couples and small households who want café-quality cappuccinos and lattes without the manual steps of a traditional machine.

What sets it apart

The LatteCrema Hot system uses a removable milk carafe that clips onto the front and automatically textures milk, whether dairy, oat, or soy. Unlike a traditional steam wand, the whole carafe is dishwasher safe. The MyLatte function detects how much milk is left in the carafe and uses it fully, with no waste.

Key specifications

• 1450W motor and 15-bar pump, for consistent extraction cup after cup
• 1.8-liter water tank, enough for about 8 to 10 coffees before refilling
• 250g bean hopper, close to a full bag of beans
• Conical steel burr grinder, 13 settings, to adjust grind to the beans you use
• Thermoblock heating system, which keeps temperature stable between extractions
• Dimensions: 24 x 44 x 36 cm (W x D x H)

Day to day

Seven drinks are programmable at the touch of a button: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, iced coffee, hot water, and a customizable MyLatte. Strength (3 levels), temperature, and volume can be adjusted for each drink. The milk system cleans itself automatically after each use, and the removable brew group should be rinsed with water regularly. Descaling is triggered by your water hardness: the machine alerts you when it's time.

Who it's for

• You drink milk-based coffee regularly and want an automatic result with no manual steps
• You value everyday convenience over manually controlling every variable
• You're ready to invest in quality beans to get the most out of the machine

Less ideal for

• Espresso purists who want to control every variable by hand (see our semi-automatic machines, like the Rancilio Silvia)
• High-volume commercial use beyond roughly twenty drinks a day (see our commercial machines)
• Anyone who wants black espresso only, better served by the Manual version with a traditional steam wand

Positioning

Within DeLonghi's residential lineup, the Magnifica Evo Milk sits between the simpler Magnifica Start and the Dinamica Plus, which adds a touchscreen and user profiles. It occupies the middle ground: more automatic functions than the entry-level model, without the cost of the most advanced ones.

Included

• Active charcoal filter
• Measuring spoon
