I have had a very basic Delonghi espresso maker for several years and was very pleased with it.  I selected tge Magnifica Evo based on the reviews I read, the simplicity and eae of use.  The espresso quality is very good, the milk frother is excellent.   When shopping for a bean to cup espresso maker with a milk frother, many of them were too big and horribly expensive.  The Magnifica Evo was in my price range and does everything I could want.  The espresso quality and milk frother is better than the expensive retail coffee shops.
