Freshly Ground Coffee for Every Cup
The Delonghi Magnifica Evo ECAM290.21.B is designed to grind whole coffee beans immediately before brewing, helping preserve the aroma and flavour of freshly prepared coffee.
Its integrated grinder means you don't need a separate appliance for grinding beans. Simply add your preferred coffee beans, choose a drink and let the machine handle the grinding and brewing process.
The system is designed to minimise residual coffee inside the machine, helping maintain freshness between drinks.
Whether you're making your first espresso of the morning or enjoying a longer coffee later in the day, the Magnifica Evo offers the convenience of automatic bean-to-cup preparation.
Four One-Touch Selections with Colour Icon Controls
The Magnifica Evo features an intuitive soft-touch control panel with clear colour icons, making it straightforward to select your preferred drink or function.
Its four main selections provide access to three classic black coffee recipes and a steam function:
- Espresso: Prepare a rich, concentrated coffee with the distinctive character of traditional espresso.
- Coffee: Enjoy a freshly brewed everyday coffee at the touch of a button.
- Long: Choose a longer black coffee for a more leisurely drink.
- Steam: Activate the manual milk frother for preparing milk-based coffees.
The colour icon interface makes everyday operation simple without navigating complicated menus. You can also customise the length of suitable coffee drinks to match your preferences.
Traditional Manual Milk Frother for Cappuccinos & Lattes
For milk-based coffee lovers, the traditional manual milk frother gives you control over milk steaming and texturing.
Use it to prepare creamy foam for cappuccinos or smoother textured milk for lattes and other café-style drinks.
While the machine automatically grinds and brews its black coffee recipes, milk frothing is a hands-on process. This allows you to practise your technique and adjust the finished milk texture to suit your drink.
The machine also supports hot-water preparation for suitable drinks such as tea and infusions.
15-Bar Pump Pressure for Espresso Extraction
The ECAM290.21.B features a 15-bar pump as part of its espresso brewing system.
Working alongside the integrated grinder, the pump supports the extraction of aromatic espresso with a characteristic crema.
Whether you enjoy a short espresso or a longer black coffee, the Magnifica Evo combines automatic preparation with personalised settings to help you find your preferred flavour.
Personalise Coffee Aroma & Drink Length
Everyone enjoys coffee differently, which is why the Delonghi Magnifica Evo includes useful coffee personalisation options.
Adjust the aroma setting to suit your preferred coffee strength and customise the drink length for suitable recipes.
These settings make it easy to prepare a stronger espresso in the morning or a longer coffee later in the day, without the work involved in manual grinding, dosing and tamping.
Combined with the soft-touch controls, they provide an accessible way to enjoy coffee tailored to your taste.
250g Bean Container & Pre-Ground Coffee Option
The Magnifica Evo features a 250g bean container, providing convenient storage for whole coffee beans within the machine.
The integrated grinder prepares beans as part of the automatic brewing process, helping you enjoy freshly ground coffee without additional equipment.
For added flexibility, the ECAM290.21.B also includes an option to use pre-ground coffee.
This is particularly useful when you want to prepare an occasional decaffeinated coffee without replacing the beans in the main container.
1.8L Water Tank for Everyday Convenience
With a generous 1.8-litre water tank, the Delonghi Magnifica Evo is well suited to regular home coffee preparation.
The machine also features a coffee grounds container with a capacity of 14 servings, collecting used coffee during automatic brewing.
Its stated maximum cup height of 140mm provides room for a variety of suitable coffee cups.
These practical features make the Magnifica Evo a convenient choice for households that enjoy several coffees throughout the day.
