1. A Little About DeLonghi
DeLonghi has been making quality and reliable small appliances for over 120 years, which has earned the love of users all over the planet. Some of the most popular products of this manufacturer are De’Longhi espresso machines. The most popular are probably Magnifica, Dedica.
One of the reasons for the popularity of this brand – it is complex to produce, but very easy to use coffee machines with an intuitive interface. In addition the line of produced devices is very extensive and you can pick up a device not only on budget but also on the necessary functionality.

2.1 De’Longhi Automatic and Semi-Automatic
Do you like a strong espresso or a mild latte? The DeLonghi does a great job with either beverage with almost no input from you.
That’s why I love automatic coffee machines:
- The brewing process, in which I can minimally participate;
- The perfect result. Whether I like my coffee stronger or prefer a milder beverage, nearly all automatic machines allow me to adjust the results to my own preference;
- You prefer espresso and are not interested in cappuccinators and other gadgets – ok. Can not start the morning without a cappuccino – and then the manufacturer has something to offer;
- Quality and a decent warranty also add to the plus side of the choice.

2.2. Coffee Makers: Drip and Carob
For those who like appliances without frills and prefer to be involved in the coffee making process, DeLonghi offers drip and carob coffee makers.
With DeLonghi drip coffee makers, heated water passes through a compartment with ground coffee, in the process saturating the flavor and aroma. And then the beverage drops go into the tank.
In a carob, the steam passes through the ground coffee and then condenses. As a rule, such coffee is stronger and the taste is more pronounced. But carob coffee makers are very demanding when it comes to grinding the coffee beans.

3. Factors To Consider When Choosing a DeLonghi Coffee Machine
Your favorite beverage
An important point to consider when choosing a machine is whether you only drink a good espresso or prefer drinks with milk. In the first case, you don’t need a machine with a frother. In the second case, you can either choose a machine with an automatic milk churn or buy a separate churner, it’s up to you to decide.
Your budget
Here it is important to determine what features you need and how much money you are willing to pay for it. You can buy a great espresso machine from $120, or you can choose a super automatic coffee machine with a full range of features and pay about 25000 dollars. But if you’re not going to use these features – what’s the point?
Service
It is important to understand how much time and money you are willing to spend on maintenance of the coffee machine. Since any appliance requires cleaning and maintenance.
For example, Nespresso machines require minimal maintenance. A semi-automatic machines are very demanding to service and cleaning, some parts can not be washed in the dishwasher – so you will wash them by hand.
How easy to use
This is where it’s important to understand – how much you’re willing to participate in the brewing process and how much you care about adjusting your beverage settings. Or do you want to hand these complexities over to technology and do you care about making a drink at the push of a button? (this is my favorite option)
