DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM04.320.S Rapid Cappuccino Bean To Cup Machine RRP £989

The Magnifica ESAM04.320.S is a must for any budding barista taking their first step into domestic bean-to-cup machines. You can make an espresso or an Americano at the touch of a button, and using the traditional milk frother you can make the ideal lungo, latte, cappuccino, or other milky drink. It produces 15-bar restaurant and coffee house standard coffee in the comfort of your own home, and in the simplest way.

All aspects of a typical professional pump espresso machine (like the ones you see in your high street coffee bar), such as grinders, filter holders, and steam pipes, are found working inside the Magnifica ESAM04.320.S: De'Longhi has simply redesigned, compacted, and hidden them inside the machine. Magnifica expertly performs all of these functions at the touch of one button. The traditional milk frother allows you to impress your guests by manually frothing the milk whilst making them the ideal cappuccino or latte.

Traditional premium milk frother

Café lattes, cappuccinos, and latte macchiatos can be made using the traditional milk frother to froth the milk. Using any cold milk, you can adjust the steam pressure and manually steam the milk in a barista-style fashion to create the optimum froth.

The De'Longhi premium milk frother takes the guesswork out of milk frothing. With a quick switch of the integrated attachment you can froth hot milk with minimum froth, or for a full-bodied froth select cappuccino.

The electronic steam and coffee thermostat ensures accurate adjustable steam control. The ESAM04.320.S can be set to adjustable quantities of coffee and water, which help create that ideal, individually-tailored cup of coffee every time.

Integrated burr grinder

The integrated professional burr grinder has seven adjustable coarseness settings. The taste and quality of your coffee depends heavily on how finely the beans have been ground – choose the finer setting for a stronger taste, or a more coarse setting for a weaker-tasting coffee.

The coffee beans are freshly ground for each serving, and the coffee strength is fully programmable so you can change the amount of coffee it grinds and dispenses from 7 to 11 grams.

Removable brewing unit

The brewing unit provides perfect heat distribution; it does all of the priming, pre-brewing, warming up, coffee dosing, coffee tamping, and extraction for you.

It is automatically rinsed every time you turn the machine on or off, and the innovative design means the brewing unit is removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Thermoblock

Thermoblock is the type of boiler found in all De'Longhi bean-to-cup coffee machines. It only heats enough water for your coffee serving, achieving a stable and accurately controlled water temperature that is crucial for brewing the ideal coffee.

This reduces warm-up time, so that your coffee machine is ready for use in seconds, and is made to be energy efficient compared to traditional boilers. The coffee temperature can be tailored further in the menu settings.

Ergonomic and easy to use

Both the water and coffee ground containers are at the front of the machine, so they can be easily removed for cleaning. The water tank is easy to refill – simply take it to the tap and fill – and will hold up to 1.8 litres of water.
