The DeLonghi Magnifica Start ECAM220.22.GB is an automatic espresso machine designed to bring the experience of bean-to-cup coffee into your home. It allows you to prepare espresso, coffee, and americano using either whole beans or pre-ground coffee, with a built-in burr grinder that ensures freshness by grinding the beans immediately before brewing. You can adjust the grind to one of 13 different settings to suit your taste, while the 15 bar pump pressure provides the necessary force for a rich extraction. Operating the machine is straightforward thanks to an electronic soft-touch panel that lets you select your beverage with a single touch. For those who enjoy milk-based drinks, a manual steam wand is included, giving you control over the frothing process. The black plastic housing is compact, measuring 35 cm in height, 24 cm in width, and 44 cm in depth, and weighs 9 kg, making it a sturdy addition to any kitchen counter. Maintenance is simplified by a large 1.8 L water tank and a 250 g bean container, meaning you spend less time refilling. The dregs container can hold up to 14 portions before needing to be emptied. To help you get started, the package includes a measuring spoon and an EcoDecalk mini descaler to keep the internal system clean.
