If you desire a real Italian espresso or cappuccino, then you've got to begin with an genuine Italian espresso maker. A machine that completely fits the bill for that is the DeLonghi Magnifica super automatic espresso machine. The Delonghi brand has earned respect and is one of the most well-known Italian manufacturers of espresso machines for the home.
A Consistently Perfect Shot of Espresso
These days it's so simple and convenient to brew a perfect shot of espresso at home. The DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso Machine is perfectly calibrated to deliver the right amount of power behind every shot of espresso. The DeLonghi system will provide a maximum of 15 bars of pressure, more than the 8-9 bars which are adequate to pull a single shot.
Another brilliant design feature that you will be pleased with will be the stainless steel double boiler system. This system enables you to immediately start steaming milk for a cappuccino or perhaps a latte after brewing a shot of espresso. You no longer need to wait around for the water to re-heat. This quick switch-over means that you can froth your milk while your espresso is still at brew temperature.
The Patented Beans-to-Brew System
Each time you're ready to brew a shot of espresso the DeLonghi Magnifica grinds fresh beans for just that shot, ensuring the very freshest taste and aroma. It is so simple to brew an espresso with the Magnifica - just turn a couple of adjustment dials and press a button on the front panel. You are able to select from two buttons, which when pressed will brew either just one cup, or two cups (or perhaps a double)! If you are brewing two cups of espresso, for example, you would adjust the dial to use roughly two ounces of water after which all you need to do is press the button for two cups and you will get two ideal shots of espresso.
Grind the Beans Precisely the way in which You Like Them
No bean grinder is perfectly noiseless, and one gripe you may hear about this machine is that the grinder is a little noisy. I've heard grinders that are much noisier. The DeLonghi Magnifica allows you to select between seven grinder settings between coarse, medium, and fine. Right after you've filled up the bean hopper with as much as seven ounces of your favorite beans select the coarseness or fineness that you like, and you're prepared to make espresso.
You Should Never Brew Espresso Right into a Cold Cup
For the best tasting espresso you'll always want to brew it directly into a warm cup. Why? Mainly because brewing right into a cold cup will instantly lower the temperature of your brew and you won't get the right cr
