Thank you for the review. The pause at 6:54 you mention between the grind and the espresso brewing is called the pre-brewing. The machine will send a small amount of hot water onto the grounded coffee to moisten it which will facilitate the extraction and maximise the flavour. This is a great option.

Yeah i just never heard the pump run and it also does that again. It does a 5 second or so pre infusion after that long hold

@bigbadboogie68427 күн бұрын
You mentioned it could push hot water without pressure (for drip coffe). Maybe they pre soak it, wait 12sec, then put pump pressure on for a 2nd pre soak? (Never saw an espresso automatic doing actual drip style coffee even somewhat decent as they all use pressure making it taste horrid, so nice option if that works. I guess still not the same as an actual drip coffe maker but maybe good enough to get rid of one machine from the bench area?)

Good points on the plastics and screen; however, those improvements would surely bring the price up by $100-200. Nice review.

Hi, thank you very much for your review. The best I could find in 48 hours. I just wanted to ask you about the 2x button. What does that thing do? It makes two full extractions (ground, compact, and extract) so you can have two coffees?

Great review. I was wondering how does the delonghi's older model (like esam 3300) compares to this new magnifica evo. Is there any difference between the two model in terms of making espresso? Also, does the new beverage options like americano, long, and overice taste better than adding water (or ice) into a standard expresso? Your review really helps a lot. Thanks.
@JoeyVaracalli4 ай бұрын
My favorite way to make an iced coffee in those machines is. Make espresso over ice then steam the coffee to melt the ice to the desired amount than top with a touch more ice. In terms of espresso I think the machines are fairly similar but it definitely adds a lot more ease of use having the pre programmed buttons

I couldn’t agree more most the times those extra options are pretty dumb anyways. If you want cold brew make a shot of espresso over ice and steam the espresso with ice in it. Top with ice after. Or just espresso over ice than add cold water

I would like to know if these machines have better taste of coffee or to search something else.. I have 3 models on my mind..
