Frequently asked

What is the main difference between the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo and the Philips Series 3200 LatteGo?
The two default recommendations in US bean-to-cup, and they differ mainly in milk and burrs. Philips uses 100% ceramic burrs and the two-part LatteGo carafe that rinses in about fifteen seconds; De'Longhi uses steel conical burrs and a manual frother on this model. Both have removable brew groups.
Is the one with the higher bar rating better?
Both are advertised at 15 bar, and both actually brew at roughly 9 bar — the advertised figure is the pump's maximum, not the pressure at the coffee.
Which is better value?
At least one of these machines has no manufacturer-published list price, so we do not state a value verdict. Running costs — beans, descaler, filters, electricity — add a few hundred dollars a year to either machine.
Do both need descaling?
Yes. Every espresso machine that heats water accumulates scale, and scale rather than use is what ends most machines. Descale every one to three months depending on your water hardness, using the manufacturer's solution.
