De'Longhi Dinamica LatteCrema Espresso Machine ECAM35075SI vs De'Longhi Magnifica Start Automatic Espresso Machine

A household that wants eighteen drinks on one button and never touches a steam wand

Scores higher on drinks & milk system, cleaning & upkeep, ease of use.

A first bean-to-cup, where the machine grinds, doses and brews and you steam the milk

Scores higher on value for money, capacity & refills, build quality & warranty.

• +Eighteen one-touch recipes, the widest drink list of any machine on this site.
• +An automatic milk carafe that lifts out and goes in the fridge and the dishwasher.
• +Named support for oat, soy and rice milk, which most makers will not commit to.
• +A 13-setting conical grinder, the same resolution as machines at half the price.
• +Iced coffee as a built-in recipe rather than an afterthought.

• −De'Longhi no longer publishes a price: the product page shows a notify button instead.
• −De'Longhi calls the heating a single thermoblock while two large retailers call it dual.
• −No pump pressure, tank size, hopper capacity, weight or dimensions are published by De'Longhi.
• −De'Longhi names only seven of the eighteen recipes and publishes no full list.
• −The LatteCrema technology page linked from its own product page is a dead link.

• +Two years of cover, and a third if you register, which is the longest available at this price.
• +Thirteen grind settings, the only lever a bean-to-cup gives you over the shot.
• +A 1.77 litre tank and dishwasher-safe removable parts.
• +A 5.46 inch cup clearance, so a travel mug fits under it.

• −A manual frother, not an automatic milk system, on a bean-to-cup at $699.99.
• −Three one-touch recipes, where the Dinamica at twice the price has far more.
• −De'Longhi does not state whether the brew group is removable, which decides how it is cleaned.
• −No burr material and no heat-up time are published.
