De'Longhi Magnifica S or De'Longhi Magnifica Start?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi Magnifica S and the De'Longhi Magnifica Start, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Magnifica S is €24.99 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk: the Magnifica S does it with a steam wand you control yourself; the Magnifica Start with a carafe that clips onto the machine.
  • Cleaning the Magnifica S's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the Magnifica Start's milk system: A rinse with the clean button after every milk drink, and after the last one the carafe apart and into the dishwasher. With milk in it, 2 days in the fridge at most.
