DeLonghi Magnifica 3200

We were really nervous about choosing a coffee machine, based on all the different types available out there. However, based on price, we considered this to be a good choice. I am really impressed with it because it makes great coffee, even though it is a little bit noisy as usual. It is very easy to clean, and is one of the few models that can be use to froth milk. Fabulous product.

Great coffee machine, very easy to use, reliable and makes great coffee straight from the bean with no fuss. So easy to use that I have ended up using it all the time unlike other machines that need cleaning manually after each use.

Only downside for me is that I can't fit my taller coffee mugs under the spouts.

This is the best machine in my house!! (alongside Miele washing machine which never breaks down, Dyson vaccuum cleaners which I love, and other miscellany). Saves me a fortune as the cappucino is almost as good as the cafe's. Can't quite get the creme right but still trying different milks. Don't like the way the frother spurts water first, but accept that it has to do this to be cleaned. Not so easy to clean inside machine, but hey, it's not a fantasy, it's a real machine (like a car) so needs upkeep.

Needs more room for a HUGE cup to fit under spout though! Love the coffee grind, had to have someone else put the settings right for me though.

Don't know how we managed without this DeLonghi Magnifica 3200 - gets the day off to a good start! Several friends have also bought the same machine on recommendation from us and all are very pleased.

DeLonghi Magnifica 3200 gives excellent fresh coffee every time.So why spend a lot of money on a coffee machine? If you have experienced the Magnifica 3200, the answer is plain and simple. Because good coffee requires a good machine. The magnifica delivers on most points, producing excellent, fresh coffee every time and allowing a novice to experiment with different types of coffee drinks. Only bad point is the small water tank.

I was given this DeLonghi Magnifica by a friend who, amongst other things, wondered why anyone should spend so much money just to make a cup of coffee. After using it for a few times, I came to the same conclusion. It just seemed to me that the quality of the solids put in was directly linked to the quality of the liquid that came out and, there are a lot of coffee makers that will do that costing from almost nothing upwards. Have I missed something here? My rating is'nt very high, but at least it had to score something, it did make a cup of coffee after all.

the only reason i haven't given this DeLonghi Magnifica 3200 a 10 is:

the water tank doesnt hold much water (when this machine does eventually give up id like to buy one that can be connected to the water supply). But because it makes coffee from a freshly ground bean it tastes great and it does hold a decent quantity of beans

So quick and easy to use. Not much cleaning necessary as it cleans itself each time you use it and also when it is switched on or off.

I would rate this machine as one of the top 10 things I have ever bought!

This DeLonghi Magnifica is my ultimate luxury. I made 5 cups to set up the strength the way I like it, and haven't adjusted anything else for two years.Beans go in the top, water in a jug that slots into the front, and you press one button for instant fresh ground. So easy, my 5-year-old makes it for me.When something needs filling, cleaning or emptying, a light goes on telling you what to do, and it is just as easy to clean as a ten pound drip machine from Tesco. Even after 2 years it is still my favourite gadget.Can't comment on the service & support, though - it's never had a single glitch.

I bought this to replace my very old Saeco Bar 2000 which I bought second-hand and has given very good service. I expected to have more trouble setting this machine to give me the quality of coffee I wanted: I was pleasantly surprised. I had to increase the coffee quantity setting and after three attempts I have it set perfectly. I am now comfortable letting the machine do all the work and simply enjoying the results.
