I’m Hot for De’Longhi’s New Automatic Espresso Machine That Also Does Cold Brew
As its name implies, it serves up both hot and cold drink options and comes equipped with a 2.4-inch digital display and a built-in conical burr grinder that makes creating quality coffee beverages remarkably easy (after a bit of trial and error and short break-in period). After testing it for a month, I came away with a few quibbles, but it’s mostly an excellent automatic espresso machine that competes favorably with other automatic espresso machines in this price range, including the new Ninja AutoBarista Pro ($950), and it is arguably superior in some ways. Magnifica Duo design The Magnifica Duo measures 14-inches high, 9.5-inches wide and 17.5-inches deep.
