Price alert

When the Magnifica Evo ECAM290.22 drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

This is the Magnifica Evo without the LatteCrema carafe: espresso, coffee and a double espresso at a button, and a steam wand to froth milk yourself.

That puts it where the Magnifica S sits, with a newer control panel. Watch the type number when comparing: the Evo with a carafe has other letters after ECAM290 and costs more.

Who for: Anyone who wants a simple bean-to-cup and froths milk by hand.

Strong on paper

Newer control panel than the Magnifica S
No carafe to keep clean

Weaker on paper

Frothing milk is handwork
Model numbers sit confusingly close together

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

The maker states no maintenance intervals for this machine that we have been able to read.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Beans, counted separately

6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €117.80 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Accessories that fit this machine

Picked on what this machine does and does not do itself

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Milk

Essential

Milk jug

A stainless jug of around 600 ml is the difference between milk that froths and milk that boils. The shape of the spout decides whether you can pour anything with it.

Maintenance

Recommended

DLSC002 water filter

De’Longhi’s own filter, and a maintenance part that costs little. It stretches the interval between descalings.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
