DeLonghi Magnifica Bean to Cup Espresso Maker

I purchased this model in october 2010 in London England. I had done a little research to see what was some of the better models. I liked the concept of beans grinding and brewing a fresh cup each time.

The set up was a breeze, a small adjustment to the brewing strength for my personal taste and the machine was good to go. Place beans in one compartment, water in another, press a button for single or one for double espresso and presto a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. A frother for the milk to make latte or cappuccinos.

The only small negative; no container to froth the milk and when the machine is turned on to start up and for each process of coffee it is very noisy. However it takes less than a minute to brew a cup so the noise level is minimal.

Expensive initial outlay at 379 Sterling (UK) yet worth every penny. Wanted to cry when I recently moved back to Canada and the machine will not work on 110w compared to the 220w in the UK. Will see if I can find an adapter power source to have it work in Canada.

May have to sell and buy a North American version.
