Brilliant coffee machine
This coffee machine is fantastic and great value for money.. I’ve had delonghi machines in the past and wouldn’t buy any other. Very easy to use and keep clean. As I’ve had the same machine in the past (black one) I found it easy to setup and use with the limited picture instructions included. I recommend to download the pdf full instructions if you don’t have experience. Highly recommend this machine.

Easy to operate coffee machine
Easy to operate, allows me to use decaf ground beans through the hopper, and full caffeinated beans without loading and unloading. Coffee is a good temperature. Good warning signs for water and finished grounds container emptying.

Starting the day with our Delonghi coffee machine
Our 14 year old Delonghi machine was starting to feel its age and when we saw the Magnifica Start we knew it was time to retire it. We are more than happy with easy to use simple features of the Magnifica Start, Our days continue to begin with a great coffee made on our new Delonghi machine, I guess you could say a “Great Start” to each day

Steam not working!!!
Great coffee maker but steam doesn’t work. It is quite expensive to have this problem. I will be bringing back to the shop.

At a glance
The DeLonghi Magnifica Start Fully Automatic Coffee Machine Silver is a compact bean-to-cup machine for households that want easy daily espresso drinks without a large appliance on the bench. Its strengths are one-touch black coffee options, a built-in grinder and adjustable aroma, temperature and drink length. The main limitation is the manual milk frother, which is less convenient than automatic milk systems on higher-end models.
What it’s great for
- Daily espresso drinks
- Black coffee lovers
- Small kitchens
- Entertaining at home
- Beginner bean-to-cup brewing
Where it works best
- Home kitchen
- Apartment
- Small household
- Break room
- Entertaining space
Who it’s for
- Home coffee drinker
- Busy household
- First-time automatic coffee machine buyer
- Espresso enthusiast
- Small-space homeowner
Things to consider
This model uses a traditional manual milk frother, so it takes more effort and skill for milk drinks than premium machines with automatic milk systems and dedicated milk menus.
Ease of use score
8/10 - One-touch black coffee drinks and straightforward controls make daily use simple, though milk texturing is manual.
Coffee variety suitability
7/10 - Best for espresso, coffee and long coffee, with manual milk drinks possible but fewer automated recipes than higher models.
Office vs home fit
Best suited to home use and small shared spaces rather than larger offices with high-volume demand.
Cleaning convenience
7/10 - Practical for routine care, but the manual milk frother requires more hands-on cleaning than automatic milk carafe systems.
Milk frothing performance
7/10 - Produces milk foam for cappuccinos and lattes, but results depend more on user technique than automatic frothing systems.
Key benefits
- One-touch drink selection: Makes espresso, coffee and long coffee quickly with simple button operation.
- Built-in grinder: Grinds beans fresh for each cup to deliver more aroma and flavour than pre-ground coffee.
- 1.8 L water tank: Supports multiple coffees before needing a refill, which is practical for daily use or guests.
- 250 g bean hopper: Holds a useful amount of beans so you can make several drinks before topping up.
- Manual milk frother: Lets you texture milk for cappuccinos and lattes with hands-on control.
- Customisable coffee settings: Adjust aroma, brew temperature and drink length to better match personal taste.
- 15 bar pump pressure: Provides the pressure needed for espresso extraction with consistent results.
- Compact design: Fits more easily on kitchen benches than larger fully automatic coffee machines.
Q: Does this model make milk drinks at one touch?
A: No. DeLonghi Magnifica Start makes black coffee drinks at the touch of a button, but milk drinks need a separate step with the traditional milk frother. It suits buyers who want manual control over milk texture, not one-touch milk.
Q: Can it handle several coffees in a row each morning?
A: Yes. DeLonghi Magnifica Start has a 1.8L water tank and a 250g bean hopper, so it can cover multiple coffees before refilling. The main slowdown in a busy household is manual milk frothing, because each milk drink still needs a separate step.
Q: Why does the 15 bar pump matter in everyday use?
A: A 15 bar pump is the pressure system used to push water through the coffee. On DeLonghi Magnifica Start, the bigger day-to-day difference comes from fresh grinding and drink settings, so pump pressure alone should not decide the purchase.
Q: How much cleaning does the manual milk frother add?
A: The manual milk frother adds a little more hands-on cleaning than an automatic milk system. DeLonghi Magnifica Start is designed for easy cleaning overall, but the frother should be rinsed after milk use so dried milk does not build up.
Q: Can this coffee machine be descaled with vinegar?
A: No. An automatic coffee machine like this should be descaled with a suitable coffee machine descaler rather than vinegar. Vinegar can leave odour and residue, and it is not the intended care method for a bean-to-cup machine with internal water pathways.
