De'Longhi Magnifica Start LatteCrema
The Magnifica Start with De'Longhi's LatteCrema Hot milk carafe in place of the manual steam wand: five one-touch recipes (espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, hot water) from a 13-setting conical burr grinder, for buyers who want automatic milk drinks at the entry-level price.
Price and availability on De'Longhi's site may differ.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Cheapest current De'Longhi with the LatteCrema Hot carafe, $100 more than the manual-wand Magnifica Start
- ✓One-touch cappuccino and latte macchiato, with an automatic carafe rinse after each use and a carafe that stores in the fridge between drinks
- ✓Reviewers rate the foam well: Tom's Coffee Corner found it creamier than Philips' LatteGo, and Coffeeness called the crema rich for the price class
- ✓13-setting stainless conical burr grinder plus a pre-ground bypass for decaf, with a 250 g hopper and 1.8 L tank
- ✓Three strength levels and adjustable cup sizes that the machine remembers, behind a simple backlit icon panel
Cons
- ✗Loud grinder: Coffeeness measured 75.9 dB with a shrill pitch, louder than the Magnifica S it replaces
- ✗Maximum dose is about 10 g, so shots run mild by espresso-bar standards (Tom's Coffee Corner)
- ✗The finest grind settings choke the flow, so the usable range is narrower than 13 settings suggests
- ✗No display, user profiles or iced recipe; the $600 Magnifica Evo LatteCrema adds an over-ice recipe for $200 less
