Amazon has launched a major price cut on a popular bean-to-cup coffee machine just before Christmas, saving shoppers a substantial £179.01. The De'Longhi Magnifica Evo, which originally retailed for £549, is now available for just £369.99.
What does the discounted coffee machine offer?
The De'Longhi Magnifica Evo is a fully automatic machine designed for convenience. It features an integrated grinder for fresh beans and uses a Latte Crema system for automatic milk frothing. The machine can prepare up to seven different coffee-based recipes at the touch of a button.
Key features highlighted by the brand include a user-friendly touch panel with coloured icons, an automatic cleaning function, and several dishwasher-safe parts. A notable innovation is the machine's ability to detect the amount of milk placed in it, ensuring none is wasted during the frothing process.
Customer reviews: praise and points to consider
The machine has garnered an impressive 4.3-star rating from over 50,525 reviews on Amazon, indicating widespread satisfaction. Many users have praised its simplicity and output.
One five-star reviewer called it a "wonderful machine for a no-fuss coffee," applauding its easy setup and maintenance. They added that while it differs from a manual espresso machine, "the coffee you do get is great for this style of machine." Another customer stated, "This is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made," after getting to grips with the settings.
However, the reviews are not universally flawless. Some buyers reported receiving faulty units or highlighted maintenance aspects like frequent descaling cycles and the need to regularly empty the drip tray. A minor critique mentioned that the milk frother attachment can be tricky to dismantle for cleaning.
Where else can you buy it and what are the alternatives?
While this specific model deal is on Amazon, a very similar De'Longhi machine is priced at £369.99 at retailer Lakeland. For those considering other options, the BREVILLE Barista Classic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is available at Currys for £349.99. This alternative also includes a built-in grinder and steamer.
Shoppers on a tighter budget might consider the Lakeland Bean to Cup Filter Coffee Machine, which is currently £99.99. This model offers two filter coffee strengths and a keep-warm function, providing a more basic entry into bean-to-cup brewing.
The significant discount on the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo presents a compelling offer for anyone looking to upgrade their home coffee setup this festive season. With its automated features and strong user ratings, it represents a substantial saving on a premium appliance.
