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.

Not so easy
Somewhat complicated for a basic start up machine but when worked out very noisy with grinding beans but makes a good coffee. Why so much clean water wasted to make a cup of coffee. Cleaning easy but disappointed after only one month needed to rescale even though I had a water softener in place. Costs about 40c a coffee so worth the 3 minute wait to produce.

Delonghi is Magnifica
Going from a pod machine to a machine that all vut drinks the coffee for you. Being spoilt and now at a touch of s button, my coffee is ready for me. Sales people knew the machine, and even a DeLonghi rep was there on the day. Got a couple of clear coffee cups for the experience to be complete.

At a glance
The DeLonghi Magnifica Start is a compact fully automatic coffee machine for home users who want fresh-bean espresso and everyday coffee without a steep learning curve. It suits households wanting one-touch black coffee options, adjustable aroma and a manual milk frother for cappuccinos. Key strengths are ease of use, integrated grinding and a generous 1.8 L water tank. Its main limitation is the traditional frother, which is less automated than premium milk systems.

Things to consider
This machine offers manual milk frothing rather than an automatic milk carafe system, so milk-based drinks take a bit more hands-on effort than premium fully automatic models.
Ease of use score
8/10 - One-touch drink selection, soft touch buttons and saved preferences make daily use straightforward.
Coffee variety suitability
7/10 - Strong for espresso and black coffee styles, with manual milk frothing for cappuccinos and lattes.
Office vs home fit
Best suited to home use or a small shared kitchen rather than a busy office.
Cleaning convenience
7/10 - Removable water tank and straightforward controls help, but the manual frother requires regular hands-on cleaning.
Milk frothing performance
7/10 - Good for creamy cappuccinos and lattes, though more manual and less consistent than automatic milk systems.
Key benefits
- 15 bar pump pressure: Delivers the pressure needed for rich espresso extraction with a fuller flavour profile.
- Built-in burr grinder: Grinds beans fresh for each cup, helping improve aroma and taste compared with pre-ground coffee.
- 1.8 L removable water tank: Supports multiple coffees before refilling and makes topping up easier.
- 250 g bean hopper: Holds a useful amount of beans for regular daily use without constant refilling.
- Four coffee options: Lets you quickly choose Espresso, Doppio, Coffee or Long coffee to suit different preferences.
- Adjustable aroma and temperature: Makes it easier to personalise each cup to your preferred strength and heat.
- Traditional milk frother: Creates textured milk for cappuccinos and lattes with more manual control.
- Soft touch controls with memo function: Simplifies daily operation and helps save preferred drink settings.
Q: Does the DeLonghi Magnifica Start ECAM22031SB have an automatic milk system?
A: No. This model uses a traditional manual milk frother rather than an automatic milk carafe, so milk drinks need to be textured separately. It suits buyers who want more control over cappuccino or latte milk without a more complex system.
Q: How many coffees can it make before the water tank or bean hopper needs refilling?
A: With a 1.8L water tank and 250g bean hopper, it can typically make around 40 to 50 short coffees before a water refill and roughly 25 to 35 coffees before adding beans. The exact number varies with cup size, strength setting and rinse cycles.
Q: Can this coffee machine make cold brew coffee?
A: No. The ECAM22031SB is not cold brew capable, so it brews hot coffee under pressure rather than using a cold extraction method. It can still be used to make coffee over ice, but the result is different from true cold brew.
Q: Can you adjust the coffee strength and temperature on this model?
A: Yes. This Magnifica Start lets you personalise aroma extraction and brew temperature, and it also allows drink length customisation for a shorter or longer cup. That gives more control than a basic one-setting automatic machine.
Q: What drinks can you make directly from the DeLonghi Magnifica Start ECAM22031SB?
A: It has four direct coffee options, Espresso, Doppio, Coffee and Long coffee. Milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes are also possible, but the milk is frothed separately with the manual Cappuccino System rather than dispensed automatically.
