I tested one of the cheapest De'Longhi superautomatic coffee machines — and it's almost as good as a $2,000 model
Tom's Guide Verdict For a superautomatic espresso machine, the $999 De’Longhi Magnifica Duo is relatively inexpensive. Obviously, $1,000 is still a huge amount of money, but as far as superautomatics go, this errs on the side of “Not too bad”. With lovely milk texture and middling coffee flavor, this isn’t the most impressive automatic machine I’ve ever tested, but it’s still a contender.
