Pros
- One-touch espresso, cappuccino and latte macchiato
- The milk carafe can be stored in the fridge

Overview
The Magnifica Evo is a fully automatic machine: beans go in the hopper, and it grinds, tamps and brews at the touch of a button.
Versions with the LatteCrema system froth milk in a carafe that clips onto the front; other versions have a manual steam wand, so check which one you are buying.
Who should skip it
You want to learn barista skills, or you need a machine for a very shallow counter.
What else you will need
- Whole-bean coffee (avoid very oily dark roasts in automatic grinders)
- Fresh cold milk for the carafe
- Descaling solution
