DeLonghi Magnifica Evo vs Philips 4300 Lattego

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Buy the Magnifica Evo if you:

Want one-touch cappuccinos at a great value.
Want the LatteCrema system without the premium price tag.
Appreciate the durability of a steel conical grinder.

Buy the 4300 Lattego if you:

Want user profiles to save your specific recipes.
Want the easiest-to-clean milk system (LatteGo) on the market.
Want a few more drink options than the 3200 series.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the 4300 Lattego for the insanely easy-to-clean LatteGo system. Pick the Magnifica Evo if you prioritize one-touch cappuccinos at a great value."

Critical Maintenance Warning

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.

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.

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