DeLonghi Espresso Machines

Magnifica to Eletta Explore: automatic vs manual DeLonghi machines compared.

DeLonghi plays both sides of home espresso: super-automatic bean-to-cup machines (Magnifica, Dinamica, Rivelia, Eletta Explore) that grind, brew, and froth at one touch, and semi-automatic machines (La Specialista, Dedica, Stilosa) for drinkers who want hands-on control. The automatics share a 13-setting conical burr grinder and 15-bar pump across most of the range; the real money goes to milk automation, recipe counts, and interfaces.

All ten machines below carry manufacturer-published specifications. Where a machine compromises, we name the exact spec that proves it, so you can match the machine to your routine instead of its marketing.
