Magnifica ESAM4200.S EX:1

I got DELONGHI MAGNIFICA ESAM4200 around 8 years ago, broke after 2 years so got it replaced with a new one. 6 years with this one at 5 to 6 cups a day and it's still going strong. I only use full beans with it, it never seemed to work with ground but it's not a problem for me. Think I paid 250e during black Friday for it. Definitely worth the money for me. 

We’re five years in on our 3200 running 3-4 brews a day. Love it. Signed, Not a coffee snob

Wenn du gebraucht kaufst nimm die ESAM 3000 oder 3200 und nicht die S. Die ist kleiner und nicht so einfach zu warten.

Super automatic. I like the Delonghi Esam - if you can get an old refurbished 3300 even better. It’ll get you to pre school.

If you need push button coffee, the Delonghi B2C range is pretty solid. I’ve worked in coffee for 16 years and recently dropped the sage for DL Magnifica. Wife can make a coffee without giving me a job, quality is still decent enough for black brews & espresso.

Had my 2017 Magnifica 8 years without a hitch and was still working fine when I upgraded to the Magnifica Plus last November. The Plus is right around the upper end of your budget.

Delonghi is a pretty good choice. If you manage to find the right settings to suit your taste, it will make great coffee. All-in-all, a little advice, if I may. I don't think I need to tell you that DeLonghi has different models, such as Magnifica, Dinamica, Eletta, PrimaDonna, and so on. And there are variations within each model—e.g. the Magnifica S is considered a basic model, but the Magnifica Evo Plus, for example, offers milk frothing and touch controls. But here's the "trick"—inside, both are the same machine. Same water pump, same grinder, same boiler, and so on. Only the Evo Plus is roughly 30% more expensive than the S. Of course, if you want a milk + coffee drink, the S may not be the right choice (although with a little practice, you can steam milk very nicely with the S's steam wand.) So what I'm trying to say is that you always have to consider what you're buying the machine for, because in my experience, most people think that a stylish milk jug and a colorful touchscreen mean that the machine has some kind of advanced technology—but that's not the case. The technical differences are between the different models, almost never within a single model. Oh, and this stands for most of the brands as well... almost.
