I have the magnifica evo at my very tiny cafe. It is great machine 😍. Honestly I need another since people are lining up for their coffee 😅. Anyway.. Thank You for your reviews.. Very helpful indeed.
Hi Tom, off subject, but could you potentially review the new Ninja Luxe espresso machine? The device seems at least to be very interesting in regards to all it's trying to achieve, and at a price that's lower than pretty much all its mainstream rivals. PID, inbuilt scale, auto frothing etc.
I don't understand why these companies have yet to make a fully automatic machine that has the kind of automatic frothing you get on the barista touch impress. I find it a lot more convenient placing a jug of milk on a temp sensor and giving it a quick rinse than dealing with a large container of milk that has to be thoroughly cleaned.
The Delonghi Magnifica Start will be my next machine, based on this video. I might just buy one and list my Gaggia CP on Facebook (where I found it). Too bad I missed the recent big sales so I will keep my eye on prices. Until then, I will dream of it.
Trying to figure out what the difference between the START and the EVO is, they seem identical minus some asthetic differences... the EVO has just two buttons more, an 'iced coffee' button and the 'My Latte' button. EVO owners know we can use the my latte button and the bypass setting to get a cup of frothed milk for hot cocoa, so without that button you might have to waste a puck to get the same from teh START, but Delonghi on their website show it capable of making an entire cup of foam by itself (in their marketing shots) so I'm confused. The iced drink setting on the EVO is basically the 'coffee' button, i don't know what it actually does differently, but it doesn't matter because you can't get any cup bigger than a mug under it.
Hi Tom, for expresso only, its better with delonghi ecp35.31 with pressurized portafilter and pre ground coffee or its better with superautomatic? Regards You are the best
Since you mentioned about puck weight in the last video. I was wondering about the puck weight this machine produces and if it can make bigger pucks in the X2 mode.
Hello Tom. We recently bought the white magnifica start because of your reviews. Thanks a lot. Very pleased with it. I just wonder what milk you use for frothing. Keep up the good work 🎉
Hi Tom, your videos have got me into manual Espressos. Got a Dedica, got a K6, got normcore accessories. What I'm struggling with now is how to clean up the basket/grounds after the shot... any video I can refer to for that haha
Hi Tom, thank you for your review on this video, from what i see from this machine I am quite impressed. Im finding myself having less time to make my cappuccinos at home using the DELONGHI Dedica Arte EC885.M. One thing that worries me is seeing the way cappuccinos are made with automatic variants as they put the milk in before the coffee which would mean that the milk and the creama dont mix on the surface. In your experience with the Magnifica Automatic how have you found the quality of cappuccinos in comparison to frothing and pouring the milk yourself?
Hey Tom, how do I increase the water volume in my coffee cup. We had a magnifica s, so we pressed the two button. Now we have a magnifica start, and I'm only getting half a cup of coffee. Don't know how to use that ×2 button lol, thanks inadvance
Hi Tom, thank you for your valueable recordings. Can you compare a super automatic machine with a manuel? I am not sure about the quality of the espresso comes from the super automatic. on the other hand its time consuming to prepare an espresso via manuel machine. Does manuel machines always give better espresso with the same bean?
Well, you have a lot more control over the Barista Pro, and it can make better espresso and silkier milk foam. But it requires developing the skill, which is why a lot of people go for the superautomatics. I did a quick and dirty comparison here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wL3dPH2HrUw.html
Hello, please tell me, I am choosing between these two models and as far as I understand, the Magnifica Start ECAM 220 30 model has an additional Long function, which is why it costs $120 more! Is it worth overpaying for one function if they are almost the same? or buy the regular Magnifica Start ECAM 220 22? what can you advise me?
Well, I don't know where you're watching from, but I spoke to Hibrew, and they said they're not gonna offer the H7A on the North American market, because it draws too much current, so the fused circuits cannot handle it. I guess they will be coming up with a different option in the future though.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner its a great machine for me it has it all grinder dual boiler 58mm everything. My issue with it is that everyone is talking about the h10a as if thats hibrew's best machine while nobody even bats an eye on this one not even hibrew themselves talk about it if you go to thier channle you won't find a single video about it.oh and hi from bahrain 😊
@@beach9952 I'm guessing their target market is the USA first, then Europe, so they need to go back to the drawing board and make a machine compatible with American circuits. Hopefully soon. Cheers!
Don't need all these duffers' cappuccino gadgets. If they would just produce a machine with a plain honest simple steam wand I would buy it, even without a no-burn jacket. (I tried your idea with the cable tie on the panarello core but it pulls off too easily. I guess that on 2017 machines the plastic they're made of is too stiff.)
Hello. Can you give the dimensions of this machine? I'm finding varied measurements depending on the site and we have a very specific spot to fit it in. Thank you
5:37 OK, the SA can make tasty coffee, but you cannot make an espresso and then a coffee with the same grinder adjustement. The coffee has x4 the amount of water, and the extraction goes deep into the realm of bitterness. You must change the grinder setting, and it takes at least two coffees to see the results.
I find it's a matter of finding the sweet spot between the two. With fresh beans, I set the grinder to around 3 or 3.5, because any lower and I'd choke the brew group. Higher than that, and the shot comes out too fast. You also have to stop it in time if you want a shorter ratio. As for coffee, it might benefit from being set a little higher, but I am satisfied keeping it on the same setting as espresso. You will also see some european cafes make coffee cremas like that, keeping a fine grind size, but letting the shot run long to fill a cup. I quite like my coffee cremas in the morning, and I think that this is where these superautomatics shine.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I share your opinion when you say that super-automatic machines excel at making coffee cremas. When grinding coarsely, they are not penalized as much by having a mediocre grinder, and the extraction is more homogeneous. But as I was saying, if they do one thing well with one grind setting, they cannot do the other well.
@@gbriank1 For espresso and milk quality, yes. At least as far as I can remember. It’s been a while since I’ve tried 5400, but I think it suffers from the same low dosage pucks as the 3200 and 2200.
