Title: simple reliable good coffee
Review: I have had quite a few espresso machines over the years. I have assembled large commercial machines and used simple Vietnameese fins. I paid full price for this new machine. My last machine was a Gamea Revo and I got almost 20K cups of coffee out of it before it started to fall apart. I was on the fence between ordering the DeLonghi Evo or the Start. The Evo has been around for a while and is more expensive. But it is on sale for half price. The Start is a new machine that is slightly more than the Evo sale price. It has less buttons and bells and whistles. But it has several distinct advantages. First it comes with a 2 year warranty which can be extended to 3 years just by registering the machine. So no need to purchase an extended warranty. I did not opt for the automatic milk frother because my wife and I drink our coffees black. This machine was easy to setup and required only a few test cups to get the brew right. The grinder was set up perfect to begin with. I also programned the buttons for my preferences including strongest coffee setting. Once set it makes consistent great coffee. The crema is about .5 inches. The coffee comes out hot. There is an auto off feature which you can set from 15 min to 3 hours. My last fancy machine had all kinds of programming but no auto off. It is very valuable to save the life of your boiler. It holds lots of beans (1/4 pound) but not too much water (5-6 cups) but is easy to refill the water without removing the water tank entirely. There are visual warnings as well as beeps for any problems (like water low, beans low, tray missing, etc.) but not constant beeping just one beep and a red pictograph of the problem. So, I am very happy with the machine. My wife gets up at 4am and has her coffee before leaving for work. This machine does not have auto on but starts up in less than one minute (if you turn off the energy saving option). She is very happy with this simple to operate esperesso machine that makes great coffe or Americano. The design is excellent with less to go wrong. It is narrow but just as deep and tall as most macines. So it takes up less linear counter space. I hope it lasts as long as my last machine.An update after 3 months of daily use. We make at least 4 large cups of coffee per day. Usually more. Plus the occaisional Americano or Espresso. This machine has performed superbly. I use filtered akaline water which reduces the need for descaling. The descale icon comes up after 2 months of daily use. The engineering that went into this machine is really someting. The brew group is simplified and easier to clean. It has much less moving parts than the traditional brew groups. I am very impressed. The only negatives so far are: 1) If it runs out of water in the middle of a brewing cycle it does not resumme after you add water. It goes back to beginning and you have to manually add water to a half brewed cup of coffee. 2) The dark tint of the water tank makes it difficult to see the water level. Both of these are minor annoyances. But the ease of operation and consistancy of great coffee far outweigh these.

Title: Still Luv’n it after 3 months
Review: I’m still luv’n my De'Longhi Magnifica Start after 3 months of daily use. This espresso machine is my first venture into the home espresso brewing world. I decided to go with an automatic machine because after watching tons of YouTube videos of folks using manual machines, I just couldn’t see myself spending all that time and energy just to pull a shot of espresso…lol.I like that it has a built-in, adjustable grinder. Saves on the expense of having to buy a standalone grinder. The hopper holds plenty of beans. I find that I only have to refill it once a week, and this is with one shot of espresso and two coffees per day.I haven’t measured the temperature of my shots or coffee, but it is sufficiently hot for my taste.The manual frother does a good job at producing a nice textured froth for when I have a hankering for a cappuccino or latte.It produces a nice, tasty crema about 0.25” to 0.50” thick, depending on the beans and the grind that I use.My only con I have is the size of the water tank. It is rather on the smallish side, holding only 7 cups of water, and I have to refill it after 2 espressos and 2 coffees. It’s easy to refill, so it’s not that big of a deal.After 3 months and one week of use, the descaling light came on. I use filtered water and have a filter installed in the water tank, so 3 months isn’t bad. The descaling process went without a hitch, and took roughly 30 minutes to complete the process start to finish.The machine is super easy to clean only taking a few minutes.So far I haven’t experienced any problems with leakage as some of the other reviewers have suggested.I would highly recommend the De'Longhi Magnifica Start to any rookie who wants to experience a great tasting espresso or coffee to start their day.

Title: Excellent quality and performance
Review: Coffee machine is great. Simple to use once you read manual with instructions. Easy to clean. Morning coffee is delicious and flavorful. I love it.Warning: coffee machine comes without filter. Amazon sells it separately. Really?!(In Europe, filter is included in the box.)

Title: Works great, easy to clean.
Review: I like that it makes a cup of coffee (approx. 6 oz) in addition to expresso. I can use ground or whole bean. Has 3 levels of strength, I use the strongest setting. I don't use the frother, but seems to work. Can also provide hot water, but is slow and would be mostly for adding a little extra water. Very easy and fast to clean. I haven't done a descale cleaning. The sound volume is reasonable, the loudest when grinding. I usually make 1 cup of coffee then add 1 shot of expresso. I have had it for about 3 months and very pleased with the purchase and recommend it.

Title: Not real hot.
Review: I love the easy use once it's programmed. However, I'd like the coffee to be a little warmer than it is on the highest setting.

Review: I'm a heavy and picky coffee drinker and I've tried ways to make coffee at home but I never made it good enough cause I never invested into a good coffee machine. So I've spent god knows how much on coffee outside. Now that I moved to a new place I researched coffee machines and this one seemed the best. I only ever use the espresso option for my simple iced macchiato, but my husband loves using the frother to make mocha. The coffee comes out nice and I look forward to drinking it every morning and afternoon. I've had it for about 3-4 months and works as new. The machine is actually smaller than I thought, so it fits nicely in my small apartment. The only cons are that it makes quite loud sounds when making the coffee (it's an issue sometimes with WFH and meetings) and is very water-hungry (needs refilling often). But these are cons I'm willing to tolerate for what I'm getting.

Review: Possedevo già una Magnifica S, messa a riposo per raggiunti limiti di età così quando ho dovuto scegliere la successiva non ho avuto dubbi. sono stato ripagato da una più moderna macchina ( tasti touch) e da un ottima meccanica come la precedente. Il caffè è di mio gusto ma permette, volendo, una grande scelta di personalizzazioni ( Macinatura, temperatura, ecc)
