De'Longhi Magnifica Plus: Automatic Espresso Machine, Built-In Grinder, LatteCrema Hot Milk System, 18 Drinks

One-touch espresso and milk drinks for the whole household

The De'Longhi Magnifica Plus is a fully automatic espresso machine with a built-in grinder, designed for households that mostly drink lattes and cappuccinos. Its touch screen and four user profiles let everyone find their own recipe.

What sets it apart

The LatteCrema Hot system froths milk automatically, straight into the cup. Three textures are available: light, creamy or dense. The carafe can be stored in the fridge between uses, and the Clean function rinses its circuit after every drink.

The system works with cow's milk and with soy, rice and almond beverages.

Key specifications

• 18 one-touch recipes: espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, cortado, iced coffee, iced Americano, hot milk and hot water, among others.
• 4 drink sizes and 5 strength levels: every recipe adjusts to your taste.
• Conical burr grinder with 13 grind settings: you set the fineness to match the beans you use.
• Pre-ground coffee funnel: handy for a cup of decaf without emptying the hopper.
• 15-bar pump, 1,450 W, 120 V: plugs into a standard household outlet.
• Removable 1.8 L water tank, 250 g bean hopper and 14-serving grounds container: fewer refills.
• Height-adjustable coffee spout for cups up to 13.2 cm tall.
• Dimensions: W 24.1 x D 44.5 x H 35.6 cm, 9.8 kg.

Day to day

Choose your profile, then your drink: the machine grinds, doses, brews and adds the milk. The brew group is removable and rinses under water. The carafe parts are dishwasher safe. The display tells you when it is time to descale. The water filter is replaced about every two months with normal use.

Who it's for

• Couples and families who want milk drinks without handling a pitcher or a steam wand.
• Households where everyone has their own preferences: four profiles remember them.
• First-time automatic machine buyers who want a quick learning curve.

Less suited for

• Cold milk foam or cold brew: see the De'Longhi Magnifica Duo.
• Switching between two whole-bean coffees every day, regular and decaf: the De'Longhi Rivelia has two interchangeable hoppers.
• Manual control over extraction and milk texture: a portafilter machine such as the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo is a better fit.

Category positioning

Within the Magnifica family, the Plus sits between the Magnifica Start and Evo, which focus on the essentials, and the Magnifica Duo, which adds cold foam and cold brew. It is for buyers who want a touch screen and user profiles without moving up a tier.

Compatible with

De'Longhi DLSC002 water filter, EcoDecalk DLSC500 descaler, Eco MultiClean DLSC550 milk cleaner and DLSC033 LatteCrema Hot carafe. A second carafe lets you keep a plant-based beverage ready in the fridge next to the milk.
