DeLonghi - Magnifica Plus Fully Automatic Espresso Machine ECAM32070SB

I love my Magnifica Plus but it’s loud (buzzy) and DeLonghi customer care doesn’t seem to care! Anyone else have a loud Plus?!

I would recommend Delonghi magnifica plus. Where are you in Canada? I know a place locally that sells open boxes in Toronto which is basically new for $850 all in. I purchased magnifica start and magnifica plus from him and it has been working great for the past 6 Months.

Yeah it's way better than Nespresso pods I was using before, and from reviews I read online delonghi makes better coffee drinks because they can make larger coffee pucks vs Philip machines.

I got a De longhi magnifica plus recently, an unbelievable machine, just pour in the beans and over a dozen different types of coffees at the touch of a button. Highly recommend.

Delonghi magnifica plus here, less expensive than the eletta explore and a newer release date. It hits the sweet spot with the number of drinks. Personally, I’m glad I went this route as I don’t see the features of the other making up for it in money spent.

Went from a Philips 2231 to a De'Longhi Magnifica Plus. Super happy with the upgrade. I wouldn't recommend a Philips tbh, maintenance is a pain as coffee grounds get everywhere in the brew group. The coffee from the Magnifica is leagues better as well.

Magnifica Plus. High level of craftsmanship, excellent software/menu choices, consistently good coffee, you can take out brew group.

Delonghi Magnifica Plus definitely.

The model numbers can be different in different countries, they also can be different for different colors etc, just look by name. I think I have ECAM320.70.TB if you need numbers. There are a lot of reviews on YouTube, check them for more details.

Magnifica Plus or Dinamica Plus (if you want to stick to Costco) is your best choice. Best milk and espresso.

If you are not into short 1:1 1:2 espresso and not into light roast then you will like a good auto like Magnifica Plus or a Jura. Autos are best for caffe crema and longer espresso \~1:4 in my opinion. I also switched from a semiauto to a auto for my wife.

Here's another vote for the Magnifica Plus. I've had a Magnifica for about 9 years, and I've loved every minute. The espresso really is quite good for a superautomatic (i.e., better than what you get in a lot of places in the USA). While Jura has a better reputation, you don't have to look around much to find many who prefer DeLonghi. In other words, if you really aren't concerned with milk drinks under any circumstance, then choosing the Magnifica Plus or Jura E4 pretty much comes down to personal taste. I'm actually replacing my beloved machine, but it's not because it's been any problem at all. They've just made so many other improvements over the years that I've finally been sold on pulling the trigger. I'm going with the Eletta Explore, but the only reason I chose it over the Magnifica Plus is because my wife enjoys cooler drinks. The Eletta is far better at that than the Magnifica. If it were just me, I'd go with the Magnifica Plus. On top of the quality of the espresso, I'll echo that maintenance is so very easy, and it's nice to know that you can replace the infuser if you ever needed to (I never have). I probably clean it more and more often than I need to, but that's largely because it's so easy to do. And, hey, the thing has lasted 9 years without a single problem (knock on wood). Regarding milk drinks, you should consider getting something that can do it. Even though I only drink espresso except for the off-hand cappuccino once or twice a year, it's nice to be able to offer milk drinks to others. Sure, you can do the milk part yourself, but that largely defeats the purpose (and the Magnifica Plus is priced pretty much along the lines of the E4).

We've had one for six months and love it. It replaced a Magnifica that we had for nearly 10 years. We made that upgrade for the new features, and we are happy that we did.

We've had two DeLonghi machines, a Magnifica that we bought about 10 years ago and the Eletta Explore that replaced it. We replaced the Magnifica only because we wanted updated features rather than because of any malfunction. Both are incredibly easy to clean. I'm pretty sure just about any superautomatic is, but DeLonghi is even easier. No tablets or cleaning cycle required. Just pull out the brew unit, rinse off any stuff that's on there (no soap), and wipe out the rest. You do have a do a descale from time to time, but that's the case with any SA machine. For DeLonghi, you will need a machine that connects to the app in order to really fine tune your drink down to the ml on volume. I don't know about the KA in that respect. I do know that any DeLonghi or KA gives strength options, though. Your husband's best bet when it comes to just having a "plain cup of coffee" will be to make an Americano or use his own drip coffee maker. While some machines have a "regular cup/pot of coffee" function, that just isn't what an espresso machine is made to do. It's kind of like trying to use a race car as a farm tractor, or vice versa. Frothing is available with plenty of machines in your budget. We've enjoyed how DeLonghi handles milk frothing (although no SA in your range will do the job of a separate frother, but we aren't that picky). I don't know how "quiet" the machine needs to be. They all make noise. That's just part and parcel to the pulse pump they all employ. Your budget number is a tricky one, frankly. There are loads of machines in the $1200-1500 range, but then it pretty much jumps up to $2000 unless you can find something on sale. I must say that stretching to the Eletta Explore would be worth it if you want the cold brew function. If not, then go with the Rivelia or the version of Magnifica that has the features you want. The Eletta and Rivelia both have 19 bar pumps and similar dosing, so their espresso will be similar. Lower models have 15 bar pumps (although I haven't checked them all). I believe it's the Magnifica Plus that also can dose high.
