DeLonghi Magnifica S ECAM22110SB

We bought ours now almost 7 years ago. I have been using it daily, multiple times a day. It still works perfectly and the result is the only coffee I like to drink black. None of the coffee shops can compete with the taste. It's endurance is remarkable.
The only issue I have, after 7 years I accidentally broke a piece of the tray and it seems to trigger the sensor to think that it's not aligned perfectly and then I have to fidget around to get it back working. I guess I have to exchange that part.

No matter what I've tried over the last 5 days since purchasing this machine, I can't get a full bodied cup of espresso. Instead I get very watery instant coffee style flavour with no body, thickness and hilariously small amounts of crema. Stepped up from pods thinking this would be a good investment. Will be returning this product. And yes, tried adjusting grind and dosage etc, just makes it stronger dish washing liquid. Nespresso pods were 100 times better.

Great cup of coffee, easily made.
Can take machine with you on holiday
Make sure grinder on finest setting, water on hottest setting, dosage at about 5/8ths of knob turn for short espresso - the only button that should be used (top up with hot water for long black)
Easy to maintain - clean and descale
One of the best products I have ever bought

I have the newer black ECAM22110B. I am very happy with this machine. Good adjustment options such as coffee grinder size and temperature settings. Which needs to be adjusted to suit your coffee beans.

I use quality lighter to medium roasts and I pull awesome shots every time consistently.

How to dial in for perfect shots
Finest grind setting ✅
When grinder is operating adjust grinder setting to the lowest setting then back it off to suit taste.
Highest temperature ✅
Hold B3 down when machine is turned off but on at the PowerPoint. Lights will come up on the machine. Then press B3 till you turn on all the lights then press B8 to select the highest temp. ...

I have this coffee machine almost 6 years. It is still in good condition. It is very easy to operate and clean. The temperature of the coffee is good. Enjoy my coffee machine

I am very happy with the machine overall. The temperature of the coffee produced could be hotter. The functions and smooth running of the machine are good, however the milk steam wand could produce stronger steam to get the 'whirlpool' effect, so I could better practice latte art. The machine functions are pretty straight forward and user friendly. After descalling my machine approx every 6weeks, the machine makes a horrible noise like something is stuck or in the wrong place and all warning lights come on. It doesn't do this after every clean,...

Easy to use. Looks good. Makes a decent coffee. Just wish there was more crema. Milk steamer frother could be better. Overall it does the job and makes a tasty coffee.

I bought this for my partner (ie so I can have a good coffee when I visit lol) who hates mess in the kitchen and wil not even consider a manual machine with a separate grinder. It features foolproof, mess free one touch operation. You literally put coffee beans in the hopper, power on, press one button and that's it. No "bArisTa" skills required.
The steaming wand, although slow, produces excellent foam for cappuccinos, flat whites, hot chocolate etc. You can also dispense hot water for americanos/long blacks or tea.

Coffee made without much fuss or skill. Easy to operate for beginners. Best if quality dark beans used. Maintenance not difficult and we enjoy automatic fresh ground coffee with this machine.

A really sturdy semi-manual coffee machine by DeLonghi that makes consistently desirable coffee. Milk froth quality is quite good, and sufficient options to modify how strong you want your coffee to taste. Excellent choice for both coffee bean and ground coffee lovers.

The machine has made a very good coffee straight out of the box
It is very easy to use and seems to be a quality item which I brought as a refurbished machine from the Coffee Beanery

Have had the machine for over 3 years and find it to have ease of use, basically only need to make sure that there is water in the container, coffee beans in their container and empty the grounds when the indicator shows that is to be done.
Some initial experimenting with how fine you want your beans to make coffee to suit you is required, but can be done in one or two cups of making it the way you enjoy it.
I have had one problem when the cleaning light did not turn off after a system clean, takes about 30 minutes, and had to repeat the process a second time but apart from that I have had no problems.

We have had the machine for just over 12 months and it’s in for its second repair.☹️ We do love the coffee machine we use it daily,it’s easy to use and makes a great cup.The error/cleaning light stays on constantly which is annoying,we have friends with the same machine and theirs stays on too.Not sure if I would buy the same brand again.

This review does not refer to above machine. Just wanted to advise how delighted I was with my DeLonghi Magnifica machine which lasted 10 years with no fail whatsoever. Thank you for fantastic product. Naturally purchased the new model DeLonghi Magnifica S ECAM22110SB now waiting for delivery.

The good:-
Great coffee. After taking some time dialling in the machine's grind size and puk size, it makes really excellent coffees. At the default settings you would get weak coffee.

You do need to use high quality roasted beans to get a good strength infusion though. Nothing from the local supermarket worked too well. I found it pushed water through too quick and couldn't get an infusion time >12secs with standard supermarket beans.
Overall great machine for the price. We love it.

The not so good:-
The steam tap is a bit stiff and feels li...
