De'Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM29043SB
We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It doesn't change our picks. How we're paid
A super-automatic that grinds, doses and brews at the touch of a button. It is the easiest machine on our list to live with, and it gives up some milk quality and control in exchange.
Who it's for
Good fit if
you want espresso-style drinks every day without learning how to make them.
Skip it if
you want café-quality milk texture, want to tweak each shot, or have low cabinets over the counter.

What reviewers agree on
Each point is made by at least two of the independent reviews linked after it. We don't own or test the products we cover; see how we choose.
- It is easy to use: choose a drink and the machine does the rest. (TechRadar, Reviewed, T3)
- Cleaning is simple. It rinses itself and alerts you when the drip tray or grounds bin needs emptying. (TechRadar, Reviewed, T3)
- It takes up a lot of counter space, and the hopper on top needs clearance under cabinets. (TechRadar, T3)
- It can use pre-ground coffee as well as beans, which is handy for decaf. (TechRadar, T3)
Worth knowing
- Magnifica Evo comes in several versions. The ECAM29043SB priced here has a manual steam wand; versions with the LatteCrema milk carafe cost more. Reviewed and T3 tested carafe versions, so their milk comments apply to those.
Raised by one reviewer: milk texture falls short of what a manual machine can make, and black coffee tasted weak even at the strongest setting (Reviewed); grinding is loud and the rinse cycles use a lot of water (T3); espresso took longer to brew than on a Bambino (TechRadar).
How it compares
- vs. Ninja Luxe Café Premier ($599.99): still guided, but you lock in a portafilter and tamp, and it adds automatic milk frothing, drip coffee and cold brew.
- vs. Barista Express ($699.95): much more control and better milk once you learn, but every step is manual.
