The De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Espresso Machine is a countertop game-changer for coffee enthusiasts with limited space. Its compact design replaces the need for multiple coffee-making gadgets, offering both espresso and coffee options with the touch of a button. The machine boasts a built-in conical burr grinder with 13 settings, an adjustable neck for perfect crema, and a frother for milk-based drinks. The seven beverage buttons cater to a variety of preferences, though the milk frother wasn't tested for this review. The standout feature is the easy cleanup process, with a basket collecting used coffee pucks and dishwasher-safe parts. Some minor drawbacks include a brief water flush upon powering on/off and occasional error messages that were resolved with De'Longhi's video chat support. Despite the $800 price tag, the Magnifica Evo offers convenience, space-saving, and high-quality coffee, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
