De’Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica is a high-end automatic coffee and espresso maker. The ESAM3300 includes everything you could want in a coffee maker.

It makes coffee, espresso and cappuccino. This model is even able to create froth, grind beans and has a double boiler system if you want to make two consecutive drinks – minus the wait.

Top Quality

Made with hard plastic and a stainless steel front, the De’Longhi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic is a top quality coffee maker with no expense spared. Check out these top features it sports below!

Design & Features

Wondering what makes the Magnifica magnificent? Let’s take a look at the features:

• Cappuccino system
• Rotary display
• Programmable settings
• Conical burr grinder
• Direct-to-brew system
• Double boiler
• Instant reheat
• Cup warmer
• Adjustable spigots

The magnifica makes brewing coffee as simple and easy as possible. Starting from the top, users can add beans into the coffee grinder before choosing their desired setting. Now, users will fill the 60 ounce water container and will be ready to brew their first cup of coffee.

Featuring a direct-to-brew feature, the Magnifica will grind the beans and start brewing immediately for optimal freshness.

The spigots are adjustable to fit your mug size, and there is a double boiler design. This design allows you to brew a cup of coffee followed by espresso or cappuccino without having to wait for the water to reach optimal brewing temperature.

Want froth? There is a milk wand that is included and will create the perfect froth for your drink.

Users can also brew two cups at a time, or one cup if they wish.

Easy Maintenance and Cleaning System

Cleaning is essential if you want this model to last a lifetime. You’ll be alerted when it’s time to descale, and you’ll want to perform a thorough cleaning at least once a week for optimal flavor.

The bean and water container are removable to allow for easy cleaning.

Durability & Longevity

Many customers love the De’Longhi brand, and I am among them. I do not own this model personally – although I wish I did – but I know people that have owned the 3200 for nearly 10 years. While an older version, the newer version comes at even a higher quality than the 3200 and is far superior in my opinion.

This is definitely a great buy if you’re in the market for a long-lasting coffee machine.

Price

This high-end machine is priced for a mid-price range, which is low for a high-end model of this quality.

Pros

• Direct-to-brew makes making coffee a breeze.
• Delicious tasting coffee, espresso and more.
• Cup warmer makes cups ready for espresso.
• Milk frothing wand and cappuccino system.

Cons

• Small water reservoir.
• Slow customer support.

I would have really liked to see a larger water reservoir included. Many high-end models hold double the water amount. The only other issue is that if you need a repair, customer support is very slow. However, this only happens when a machine may have a defect off of the assembly line.

Aside from the slow support, this is the perfect model. The burr grinder is precise, the froth is delicious, the brew cycle is quick, and the taste is top-notch.
