Magnifica Start (ECAM22022B)

I just got a De'longhi Magnifica Start for 600$CAD on an Amazon deal and if you're looking for an espresso machine without the latté thing, it's unbeatable at this price. Espresso extraction is great

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.

My Magnifica Start is a boss. High quality, strong shots and easy to maintain. It takes me about 30 seconds to clean the components once I’m finished in the morning.

Super automatics in general are made for beginners.  I would suggest a Delonghi Magnifica Evo or Magnifica Start for the budget-minded.  Delonghi machines produce the best espresso at every price point even beating machines like the Jura Z10 at $4,000.  The DeLonghi Magnifica Plus makes the best espresso of any consumer super automatic and it's only about $1000.

I recently bought the magnifica start and I’m pretty happy with it. Mine comes with the milk wand and I do prepare a cappuccino and latte so I’m pretty happy with . The coffee itself is good. As for the build quality the Magnifica is very plasticky but so are the Juras, I’ve seen them in person and touch them and they’re also a lot of plastic. My opinion is if you can comfortably buy the Jura then go ahead, but don’t really need to stretch out your wallet to buy Jura, Magnifica is great

I have the same. Milk drinks are just ok - a separate milk frother produces better results and is easier to clean. In hindsight I wish I just bought the magnifica start with the exact same grinder and brewgroup at a lower price

The magnifica lineup is mostly the same, even if it's S, Evo, Start, they all have the same inside bits. What's different is the touchscreen and the drink selection. We bought the magnifica start w/ latte macchiato option & milk carafe for $380 or something like that. It is THE best buy în this price range. I am 100% sure you're going to love the S. What I can say from cross-reference is that the De'Longhi is way ahead of the Philips and does not require as much cleaning/it doesn't get quite as dirty. It's also better built. And if you've got a good price on a De'Longhi I wouldn't risk buying another brand. I think these machines do their job very well and you'll find that they're actually well made. And locally made. We're in Romania and I was absolutely shocked to find out that the machine I bought was actually manufactured in RO.
