For most kitchens, start with the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo with LatteCrema (ECAM29084SB) (Amazon search). It grinds, doses and brews from beans and froths milk automatically, with a shorter, simpler menu than the Magnifica Plus. Pick a Philips LatteGo model if the easiest milk-system cleanup matters most, or a manual-frother machine if you mostly drink espresso and black coffee.
This list covers De’Longhi’s Magnifica family and Philips’ 2300 and 3300 LatteGo models. For the Dinamica Plus, Philips 5500 and KitchenAid KF8, see our premium super-automatic espresso machines .

1. De’Longhi Magnifica Evo with LatteCrema: Best All-Round Pick
The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM29084SB (Amazon search) is the machine to start with if lattes and cappuccinos are part of the routine but you don’t need a long recipe list. De’Longhi lists 7 beverages: coffee, espresso and over-ice coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato and My Latte, plus hot water. My Latte lets you personalize and save your own recipe.
De’Longhi says its LatteCrema system froths automatically with milk or milk alternatives. The water tank holds 60.87 oz, the bean hopper 8.82 oz, and the maximum cup height is 5.46 inches.
The trade-off: a short menu next to the Magnifica Plus, and no user profiles.
Best for: a household that wants one-touch milk drinks without paying for features it won’t use.
2. Philips 3300 Series LatteGo: Best for Easy Milk Cleanup
The Philips 3300 LatteGo EP3347/90 (Amazon search) is the pick for anyone who dreads cleaning a milk system. Philips says LatteGo has only two parts, cleans in less than 10 seconds and can go in the dishwasher or under the tap.
Philips lists six drinks: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, iced coffee and hot water. It adds SilentBrew, which Philips says is 40% quieter than its previous models, 12 grinder settings and a color touch display. Philips says the included AquaClean filter allows up to 5,000 cups without descaling.
The trade-off: a shorter drink list than the Magnifica Plus.
Best for: daily milk drinkers who want the least cleanup, and early risers who want a quieter grind and brew.
3. De’Longhi Magnifica Plus: Best Drink Menu for Several Users
The De’Longhi Magnifica Plus ECAM32070SB (Amazon search) has the longest menu here: 18 one-touch recipes, including lattes, cappuccinos and iced coffee. De’Longhi’s drink list adds a cortado, flat white and espresso macchiato, plus cold coffee and cold Americano.
Up to 4 user profiles let each person save their own size and intensity. It shares the Magnifica Evo’s 60.87 oz tank and 8.82 oz hopper, with a 5.19-inch maximum cup height.
The trade-off: more screens and settings than a one- or two-drink household needs.
Best for: households where several people drink different milk drinks.
4. De’Longhi Magnifica Evo with Manual Frother: Best for Espresso and Black Coffee
The De’Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM29043SB keeps the Evo’s grinder and brewer but swaps LatteCrema for a traditional milk frother. De’Longhi lists 6 one-touch recipes: Americano, coffee, espresso, long and over-ice coffee, plus hot water.
Milk drinks are still possible, but you froth the milk yourself. Tank and hopper match the LatteCrema version.
The trade-off: no one-touch cappuccino or latte.
Best for: espresso and Americano drinkers who add milk only now and then.
5. Philips 2300 Series LatteGo: Best Short-Menu Philips
The Philips 2300 LatteGo EP2330 (Amazon search) uses the same two-part LatteGo milk system as the 3300 with a shorter menu. Philips lists four drinks: espresso, coffee, latte macchiato and hot water. It has 12 grinder settings.
The trade-off: no cappuccino on its listed menu.
Best for: someone who drinks coffee, espresso or a latte macchiato and wants LatteGo cleanup.
What Happened to the Philips 2200 and 3200?
Many shoppers still search for these two. Philips’ U.S. catalog now marks the 3200 LatteGo EP3241/54 as discontinued, and Philips’ own U.S. store offers it as an open-box unit. The Philips 2200 EP2220/14 (Amazon search) is still in Philips’ U.S. catalog, but Philips Canada marks it discontinued and the U.S. Philips store also sells it as open box. Philips’ leaflet lists the 2200 EP2220/14 with a classic milk frother and espresso, coffee and hot water as its beverages.
If you already own either machine, our Philips 2200 review and Philips 3200 guide still apply. If you’re buying new, the 2300 and 3300 above are listed on Philips’ U.S. store as regular, not open-box, models. The Philips 3200 LatteGo EP3241/54 (Amazon search) is worth considering only from a seller that confirms new condition and warranty.
How to Choose
- Decide where milk happens. Automatic systems (LatteCrema, LatteGo) make one-touch milk drinks. A traditional frother means you texture milk yourself. Our milk pitcher vs automatic carafe comparison goes deeper.
- Count the drinks you actually make. If everyone drinks the same coffee, 4 to 7 drinks is plenty. The Magnifica Plus’s 18 recipes and profiles pay off in households with different orders.
- Check cleaning before you buy. LatteGo’s two parts can go in the dishwasher. Whatever you choose, read the milk-system cleaning steps in the manual and budget for the filters and descaler the maker specifies.
- Measure your tallest cup. De’Longhi lists a 5.46-inch maximum cup height for the Magnifica Evo and 5.19 inches for the Magnifica Plus.
- Consider a different category. If you want to grind, dose and tamp yourself, a semi-automatic espresso machine fits better. For the workflow differences, see semi-automatic vs super-automatic .
