We also have a De Longhi bean to cup Magnifica and I agree, it makes the best coffee. We order whole beans from Joffrey's and have gorgeous, freshly ground WDW themed coffee every day.
We've had ours around 4 years, it's been serviced a couple of times and I can't recommend it enough.

I don't use the milk frother on it, mainly because it's very fiddly to clean, we bought a Dualit frother which is really simple to rinse out each time.

We have this one

Really good machine, our steam knobs a bit thought, but that’s the only gripe with it, took a couple coffees to get the strength as we wanted it, but we’ve left it alone since really,
We like the lavaza beans, or strong blends from the supermarket (we got some cracking Italian blend from Lidl), though that’s all personal taste

Wouldn't be without by bean to cup De Longhi Magnifica. I find the milk frother a doddle to clean as its dishwasher safe.

I have a tassimo pod machine, really for the speciality drinks, but was hand back in the days when I used to go to work.

I had a cheaper filter machine, and an aeropress. I upgraded the filter machine, for £35 to the below, and it's fab... paper filters make a big difference, and the thermos jug is Brill to keep warm at the table... Apparently hot plates can spoil the flavour. Also has a timer. Great value.

I agree that's the best and quickest way, but then it always seems to be mid cycle when I want a latte!

I also have a De Longhi. I think I bought it because of a thread on here a few years ago.

I use it every day and absolutely love it.

I don't use the milk frother, just heat milk in the microwave.

Last January we were looking for a bean to cup machine and did a lot of research, both online and in shops (remember those days?). It had to sit on the kitchen work surface and had to fit under a wall cupboard 18" above. this meant that some machines were out of the question. In the end we plumped for a De'Longhi PrimaDonna Class ECAM 550.75.MS which we got from John Lewis - luckily at that time they were on sale at just over half price so we got a great bargain. They are no longer in stock at De'Longhi so not sure what the situation is if you wanted to buy one now. It makes good coffee once you get the grind dialled in. It took a while for us to find the beans that liked best - freshly roasted beans from a local supplier. It has kept us in great tasting coffee during the pandemic.

We have the Magnifica model with the frother nozzle. It is really easy and just wipes clean. I didn’t want the one with the separate frother jug because it just looked to much of a faff to clean.

I never drank coffee before but even I like it now.

thanks folks

I like the look of the Magnifica, but it doesnt have the Portafilter, my youngest has seen coffee made in cafes and fancies doing it at home

I think mine is the Delongi one you have listed I got it for my birthday last year when my wife started having issues with capsule disposal. This is the best present I have ever had.
