DeLonghi EAM 4200 2 Cups Espresso Machine - Silver

Great value bean to cup

This machine is easy to use and flexible in terms of changing the settings for volume, strength etc. The water tank has good capacity and is easy to fill. I would advise reading the instructions carefully when initially setting up the machine, as there are instructions for setting grind courseness, water softness, coffee temperature, eco turn off delay etc. There are many helpful reviews on youtube for this machine.Read full review

Excellent bean to cup machine

This is great for freshly grinding and brewing, produces a tasty coffee and very good crema.

It loses a star for a couple of reasons...
1. Water tank is easy to fill and the grounds bin easy to empty. But a small quantity of grounds miss the bin and end up on the inside floor of the machine, which is black, so it's tricky to see and clean out.
2. The machine will make a very good drink from ground coffee, but if you want a good size cup (250ml +) you have to go through 2 or more brewing cycles, loading with one scoop each time, which is a bit of a faff.

These are minor quibbles, it's a great entry level coffee machine.Read full review

Great coffee but not the quietest

This is the second one of these machines we've owned. The first lasted 7 seven years and made thousands of cups of coffee before the heater element broke.
It makes great coffee which works out much cheaper than using a capsule type machine, and also does not create lots of plastic waste in the processRead full review

Ace machine!

I bought this coffee machine as an upgrade from another delonghi coffee machine. It's so easy to use and makes great coffee once you have had a play around with it adjusting the setting s to your liking. It's a little loud but that is a small price to pay for freshly ground beans every time in seconds. Love it! All I need to know now is where to get it serviced, not for right now of course but I'll be wanting to keep this one a while!Read full review

Great all round bean to coffee machine.

Just love this machine, no more knocking out stubborn coffee and causing more work as a result; less equipment. Once set up, this is so time saving and consumer friendly, easy to clean too. Beans can be stored in the top of the machine, which saves a lot of time. The only annoyance really is the steam control knob, which is really stiff, good if you have children I guess, but not if you suffer with arthritis! Makes great coffee though! Love the adjustable coffee nozzle, really useful for different height cups.Read full review

Great machine

Once you've set it up it's great and easy to you use. We have only tried one brand of coffee (Aldi own coffee beans, which don't have the best flavour) and we still need to explore how to make certain types of coffee like lattes etc... We bought this 2nd hand was half the price than new and in great condition. All in all very pleased Read full review

Great coffee

This replaced the same model of De Longhi coffee maker that we had for 6 years and was used nearly every day several times to make our favourite coffee. The new model is slightly different in appearance and quieter but makes equally great coffees. Bought from the Co-op on line at a substantial discount to the retail price. Despite being Italian - very reliable piece of equipment and we expect to get many years of service from our new purchase.Read full review

Great machine

It's a very good coffee machine and the option to use ground and bean coffee is great. My only issue is if I make coffee and then heat up the milk it takes a long time to get ready for another one. Maybe there's a way to do this but I don't know how. If there's a way to speed this up would be nice if anybody can explain this to me.

Good value for money. Some learning required for frothing and cleaning

The Delonghi Magnifica ESAM 4200.S is a decently priced machine which reliably makes high quality espresso-based coffees.
This is my second machine of this make and model, after the first sadly broke following years of reliable service.
The machine is easy to use, but users may require some getting used to the frothing wand, if they would like to foam milk.
The machine does prompt users to run its cleaning and descaling cycle just around the time one might begin to notice an alteration in its outputs' taste. However, removing the brew unit for periodic cleaning of the machine's interior is also important and this is a step which should be emphasised for users.
Given the price, especially on this refurbished unit, I regard this machine as good value for money.Read full review

Best coffee at any time

I have several family members who own one of these machines and we are all in agreement that this is the best coffee machine.
The coffee tastes great with a luxurious creamy texture every time. It is easy to set the desired strength.
Maintenance and cleaning is quick and easy.
