DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM 4200.S Espresso Machine

Bit soon after purchase, so hope it doesn't beak down any time soon! A lovely looking machine which produces excellent coffee, both espresso and cappuchino as wsell as the usual variants. Quick, fairly quiet, and just as good as my old Seico which has given up the ghost after many happy coffees. Price for this class of machine quite reasonable and it will use pre-ground beans as well as its main function of "bean to cup".

Just go it today,plug in and working,make shure you use brand beands like costa,lavazza and the cream is super,,..for the capuchinoss the froff if very thick and rich not water down like on the standar coffe machines...all in all 5 stars out of 5

makes lovely coffee as strong or weak as you like it , small or large cup , all at push of a button , frother does job brilliantly , best latte ive had
wonderful machine

This was a replacement for our previous machine (EAM 3200) which became faulty after 6 yerars, so we decided to replace it rather than repair the old one.
We loved the old machine, but this machine has a few improvements.
The main one is that the coffee is a lot hotter (although you can use the Eco button to have cooler coffee if you prefer).If you make a lot of coffee you will need to empty the hopper and drip tray frequently as the capacity is quite small. But in summary, this machine makes great coffee, is good value for money (paid the same as for the previous machine), and we wouldn't be without it.

I only drink coffee and was getting fed up with the cost and quality of the packet cappuchino's, so for my birthday my husband said he would buy me a coffee machine. I would have liked the Prima Donna Model, but it was too expensive so I chose this one. I am a little disappointed with the overall make up of this machine, especially for the price. Would have been better if S/Steel instead of Plastic! Takes a bit of time to get used to how it works, it makes a passable cappuchino.
