De'Longhi Magnifica Start ECAM220.61.GB bean-to-cup coffee machine with LatteCrema Hot Technology and 13-grind-setting burr grinder

Bean-to-cup coffee at home:

The Magnifica Start grinds fresh beans for every single cup using a stainless steel conical burr grinder with 13 adjustment settings, so you can match the grind to the bean variety or your preferred brew strength. A pre-ground coffee bypass case means you can also use ground coffee whenever you need to, giving you genuine flexibility without any compromise on freshness.

One-touch drinks at the press of a button:

The soft-touch control panel delivers four drinks - Espresso, Double Espresso, Coffee, and Latte Macchiato - each prepared automatically from bean to cup. Cup volume is adjustable between 90 and 140 ml, and two coffee strength levels let you tailor each drink to your taste without any complicated settings to navigate.

LatteCrema Hot Technology for frothed milk drinks:

De'Longhi's proprietary LatteCrema Hot Technology textures milk automatically to produce a fine, rich foam directly into your cup in a single operation. The 250 ml milk carafe is removable and can be stored in the fridge between uses, making it practical for households that don't use the frother every day. The drip tray is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Practical design with sensible capacity:

The 1.8-litre removable water tank and 250g bean container mean fewer refills during a typical week of home use. The adjustable cup stand accommodates cup heights from 90 to 140 mm, and the auto shut-off function manages energy use when the machine is not in active use. The Thermoblock heating system brings the machine up to brewing temperature quickly.

Setup and Care

Getting started:

Place the machine on a stable, flat surface with adequate clearance above the bean hopper lid for filling. Fill the water tank to the desired level, add whole beans to the 250g container, and select your grind setting before brewing your first cup. The soft-touch control panel guides you through initial setup with straightforward prompts.

Daily maintenance:

The drip tray and milk carafe are both removable for easy rinsing after use. The milk carafe can go in the dishwasher or be washed by hand, and can be stored in the fridge between uses to keep milk fresh. Wiping the exterior with a damp cloth after use keeps the grey and black finish in good condition.

Descaling and deep cleaning:

The machine signals when descaling is required, and the included EcoDecalk solution is compatible with all De'Longhi automatic machines. Running a descaling cycle as prompted helps maintain consistent water flow and brewing temperature over time. The brew group is accessible for periodic rinsing as part of the machine's self-maintenance routine.

Long-term care:

Use filtered or softened water if your local supply is particularly hard, as this reduces the frequency of descaling cycles. Store the machine plugged in on the worktop for daily use, or unplug and empty the water tank if the machine will not be used for an extended period. Refer to the De'Longhi user manual for the full maintenance schedule and grinder cleaning guidance.
