Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your DeLonghi or Philips out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Lavazza Crema E Aroma
Balanced medium roast with an intense, earthy flavour and long lasting crema.

Lavazza Crema E Aroma

40% Arabica and 60% Robusta.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa
The wake-up call. Because it has Robusta beans mixed in, it has way more caffeine than the others. Great for milk drinks, but can be a bit harsh for straight espresso.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa

A blend of Arabica and Robusta. Rich, chocolatey, and full-bodied.

Lavazza Espresso
A very nice medium roast delivering a smooth, balanced flavor profile. Perfect for authentic Italian-style espresso with subtle fruity and floral notes.

Lavazza Espresso

100% Arabica, Florals and fruit. This fragrant medium roast offers a sweet and aromatic finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Magnifica Evo better than the 4300 Lattego?
It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi Magnifica Evo excels for users who want one-touch cappuccinos at a great value, while the Philips 4300 Lattego is the better choice if you prioritize user profiles to save your specific recipes.
How do the grinders compare?
The Magnifica Evo uses a Steel Conical, whereas the 4300 Lattego features a Ceramic Flat. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean?
The Magnifica Evo uses a Removable brew group, while the 4300 Lattego uses a Removable system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.
