Delonghi Magnifica vs Dinamica vs Prima Donna – What’s the difference?

There are a few age-old questions that many humans have asked themselves at some stage of their lives, including what literally caused the formation of the universe,  what is the meaning of life, and what’s the difference between the DeLonghi Magnifica, Delonghi Dinamica and Delonghi Prima Donna bean to cup coffee machines.

OK maybe these last three aren’t rather in the same territory, and it might not take an astronomer or quantum physicist to figure out the difference between the various Delonghi bean to cup coffee machines, but the number of options can be perplexing.

Fear not, I’ll be doing my best to demystify this quandary for you, and make it much easier for you to decide between the various different DeLonghi coffee machines. 

Magnifica, Dinamica, Primadonna & Maestosa

While this post is primarily about the Delonghi Magnifica, Dinamica & Primadonna coffee brewing equipment ranges, I’m throwing DeLonghi Maestosa in here too due to the fact that though it may be overkill for lots of coffee lovers, there are a couple of specific scenarios that I think this machine is excellent for.

What I’m going to do is to take you through the details of each range first, and then give you the details of some of the different options within each range. I’m not going to include every single option within each range, because DeLonghi often have lots of different options within each range, and the majority of the time the differences between each are fairly subtle.

If I think there are any machines within each range which are different enough from others that I’ve covered, then I’ll include them. You’ll understand what I mean as you go along.

Delonghi Magnifica

The Magnifica is DeLonghi’s entry degree bean to cup coffee machine range, nevertheless don’t let this fool you. Basically, let me make something that is isn’t usually obvious, much more clear: The amount of money you spend is going to make little or no difference to coffee quality. 

I understand, you’d imagine that spending more money would be to enhance the quality of your coffee, or why would you spend more? The truth is, but, that with this sort of coffee makeking device, cost and coffee quality isn’t linked.

I think a good way to explain this is to utilize buying cars as an analogy. Let’s say you were trying to decide on which SUV to buy, 0-60 acceleration might be a consideration, however it’s probably not going to be the main one. 

You’ll probably be more focused on features that relate more to SUVs, such as boot space, the number of seats, driving position, and creature comforts, than you may be on the 0-60 time, just due to the fact that it’s that sort of a car you’re buying. If you were buying a racing car, then you may be focusing more on 0-60.

You’re looking at buying a bean to cup coffee machine, and these are a lot more about ease of work with than they are about espresso quality, similarly to how SUVs are more about ease of utilize than they are about speed. So as you spend more on an SUV you’d expect more gains in creature comforts and features than power. 

It’s worth noting that upgrading your coffee beans is like putting performance fuel into your car quite than fundamental fuel, The better the coffee beans you put in your machine the better quality coffee you will get out of it!

It’s the same with bean to cup coffee machines, as you spend more money you’re going to get more in terms of creature comforts, rather than getting more in terms of espresso coffee quality. Similarly to the cheapest SUV probably having a similar acceleration to much more expensive SUVs, but having a lot more in terms of fancy features, the cheapest bean to cup coffee machines will deliver very similar espresso quality to much more expensive options, but spending more will usually give you more in terms of features. 

OK, this analogy isn’t fantastic because some of the most expensive SUVs are stupidly fast, nevertheless hopefully, it helps nevertheless.

If you’re buying a classic espresso machine, investing a few hundred quid more can in fact make a real difference to cup quality once you’ve developed the required skills, as there’s a lot more to utilizing traditional espresso coffee machines than just pressing a button. 

Bean to cup coffee machines, but, are espresso machines with built in grinders and something referred to as a brew unit or brewing unit, and it is the coffee mill and the brewing unit that is responsible for the espresso quality. 

Whether you’re buying the cheapest, or the most expensive of this kind of coffee machine, the coffee mill, and the brewing unit are both going to be practically exactly the same within the same brand, and even one of the different brands, they’re all going to be really similar. 

Whether it’s a bean to cup machine from DeLonghi, Gaggia, Krups, Melitta, or another brand, the grinder, and brewing unit are usually really similar. When it comes to different machines from the same brand, more often than not you’ll find that the mill and brewing unit are exactly the same regardless of the price of the machine, so you’re usually paying more for features, and not for better espresso.

So with that said, the Magnifica range is the perfect of the Delonghi coffee machines as far as I’m concerned, where value for money is worried if you’re not too fussed about flashy features. Basically, if you’re savvy, you’ll probably be looking towards the lower end of the Magnifica range, due to the truth that this is where the very best appreciate for money can be found.

The Magnifica range has historically been about simplicity and appreciate for money, as far as I can tell. These machines usually had manual steam wands, and humble buttons and dials. 

The latest “Evo” model appears to be breaking the Magnifica mould, although, given it has touch screen controls and a one touch milk carafe preference, however it’s still relatively low cost for a machine with these types of features. Don’t worry if I’ve literally confused you talking about steam wands and milk carafes, I’ll explain as we go along.

My Observations

This is one of the longest established bean to cup machines from DeLonghi, it’s one of the cheapest, it’s among the a lot of simple to work with and it’s probably the most durable, with the least in the way of bells and whistles to potentially go wrong. 

It’s compact, and it has a front accessed water tank meaning that if you do push it under kitchen wall units you don’t have to pull it out to access the water tank, as you would with top accessed tanks, however of course, you’ll need some access to the top to put beans in the hopper. 

When my fellow coffee botherers (my readers and viewers, so that now includes you) contact me telling me they’re on a tight budget and they just want a modest to work with bean to cup coffee makeking equipment that will last years, I usually suggest this machine or the Gaggia Brera if they have a slightly bigger budget. 

If you’re wondering why I would recommend the Brera, by the way, mainly it’s because with Gaggia bean to cup coffee machines it’s in reality humble to figure out the exact dosage in grams, and pressing the shot button twice in quick succession provides you a true double shot, while the double shot option on the Delonghi Magnifica machines provides you double the espresso volume from just slightly more ground coffee, so it’s not what I’d call a true double shot.

  • One touch coffee only

My Observations

The Magnifica S is literally a mildly slimmer, newer updated version of the original Magnifica. I’m not calling it more compact, due to the truth that though it does look like a more compact machine than the ESAM 4200, they’ve opted to reduce the width on the newer Magnifica machines and increase the depth, with all of the newer Magnifica machines being 65mm deeper however 45mm thinner.

I think they’ve probably crafted the decision that many modern kitchens are brewed in a way that an extra 6.5cm in depth on a kitchen worktop is less valuable than 4.5cm in width, and that would seem to make sense. They’re the same height at 36cm which means you can fit them under a lot of basic wall cupboards.

The Magnifica S looks a bit more modern I suppose, and it does seem slightly quieter than the Esam 4200, which does have a relatively loud pump. Likewise, with the Magnifica S the volume is adjusted by pressing and holding the shot buttons instead of using the dial.

The milk steaming is with a basic “Panarello” steam wand, which is the kind of steam wand simply anyone can use without any barista experience. You just stick it in your milk jug, and it’ll inject air and heat the milk. The only issue with these is that they usually create bigger bubble cappuccino foam, quite than microfoam which is now the more popular sort of milk texture. 

If you want microfoam, though, for velvety flat whites, you can literally remove the Panarello and utilize the steam pipe as if it were a single hole steam tipped steam wand, and you can do the same with the other DeLonghi machines, and most other machines with a Panarello wand.

  • Smart Panarello steam wand 
  • One touch coffee only

My Observations

Other than relatively insignificant aesthetic differences, the only real difference between the Magnifica S, and the Magnifica S Smart, is that the S Smart has the same smart Panarello steam wand that the DeLonghi Dedica EC685 has. 

This is a literally clever thing, literally, instead of being the usual Panarello sheath covering the steam pipe which constantly sucks in air, it has a setting to allow you to block the holes. 

So you keep it at the “cappuccino” setting for as long as you want to aerate the milk for, and then change it to the hot milk setting, which covers the air intake, so you actually continue to heat and spin the milk (spin meaning a vortex is created which distributes the bubbles) until you reach the desired milk temperature. 

You don’t have to work with the Panarello, if you prefer just slide the Panarello off and work with the pipe below as a steam wand. Just beware that the rubber pipe might pop off at some point, scaring the BLEEP out of you! If this occurs, just use a cable tie to keep the pipe in place.

  • Grind settings: 13
  • Milk Carafe frother
  • 7 x one touch coffees including cappuccino & latte macchiato
  • Soft-touch colour display

My Observations

This is essentially a one-touch cappuccino & latte version of the newer Magnifica machines, with a colour touch screen display instead of buttons and dials.

I should in truth say “Latte Macchiato” because the milk is steamed first and then is pulled into the milk, which in truth makes it a latte macchiato, which should have distinct layers if it’s done well, even though I’m sure that won’t make a difference to the taste ;-), unlike latte art, latte art definitely brews coffee taste better! 

Unfortunately, this machine won’t pour latte art for you, and one touch milky machines like this steam and pour the milk for you, they’re really convenient for people who literally want to press a button and walk away with their cappuccino, but they don’t give you the same level of control over the milk. 

If you’re picky about your milk texture and temperature, I’d suggest going for a machine with a steam wand, quite than a milk carafe. Panarello wands aren’t great either, other than the smart Panarello wand you’ll find on the S Smart and some of the other DeLonghi machines, but at least you can pull them off and work with the steam pipe as a steam wand if you want greater control.

There is a version of the Magnifica Evo that comes with a Panarello steam wand:

DeLonghi Dinamica

While the Magnifica machines have primarily been about giving simplicity and appreciate for money, the Dinamica range appears to be aimed at people who want more convenience and sophistication.

The majority of of the Dinamica range are fully automatic machines, likewise called “one touch”, which means that they have integrated milk carafe frothers, so you simply fill the carafe with milk, keep it in the fridge, and then when you want a coffee, you take the carafe from the fridge, attach it to the machine and just press the cappuccino or latte button, and then walk off with your drink. 

If you’re a big fan of milkies, as I am, just be aware that one touch milk frothers like this, even though the more modern ones tend to give you some control over the texture and temperature, ultimately you’re never going to have as much control over these important elements with a one touch bean to cup coffee brewing equipment, than you would with a more modest machine with a steam wand. 

There is one steam wand version in the Dinamica (two if you count the black and silver options as separate machines…) but a lot of of the options in this range are milk carafe, one touch machines – and the controls are a little bit more hi-tech than the dials and buttons I’d usually expect to find on a Magnifica machine.

  • Milk Carafe frother

  • TFT touch screen controls
  • Connectivity (DeLonghi App)
  • 3 personalised profiles + guest role

My Observations

They’ve gone slightly more compact with the Dinamica range, at 4mm thinner than the latest Magnifica models, 11mm shallower, and 12mm shorter. The greatest difference, even though, is possibly the bigger range of one touch milkies, including the flat white. 

Whether it will produce a “true” flat white, is another issue, given that there’s no official description of what steeps a true flat white. In my humble opinion, but, to be a proper flat white the milk texture has to be excellent, and many one touch machines with milk carafes don’t produce fantastic milk texture.

I’ve had most of what I refer to as “flat shites” in coffee shops, which are just stronger cappuccinos, and lots of one touch machines will deliver this same kind of ingest labeled as flat white, basically due to the fact that it’s such a popular ingest & theoretically will help to sell machines to have a “flat white” regardless of whether it basically does produce proper flat white milk.

It also comes with connectivity, with the app allowing you to work with your phone to change the brew temperature, customize coffee volumes and make coffees, but, the app isn’t clever enough (yet) to fill the hopper and put your cup on the drip tray ;-).

There are rather a few people seemingly not extremely happy with the app, with a few people saying it works excellent when you can get connected, however that it regularly disconnects them from the app and they have to spend time connecting it again.

To be honest, this seems to be a recurring issue with smartphone apps on coffee machines, and I found the similar to be the case with the La Marzocco Linea Mini app when I reviewed that, and that’s not a affordable coffee makeking device, either, at over four thousand pounds!

My Observations

This is a version of the Dinamica which shares all of the main features but features a standard Panarello steam wand instead of a milk carafe, so it’s not for you if you’re looking to be able to simply press one button and walk away with your cappuccino. If you’re fussy about your cappuccino, latte, and/or flat white, even though, then this might be a better option for you, and it’s cheaper so that’s a bonus. 

As I’ve said, milk carafes are truly good for convenience however they don’t give you the same type of control over milk texture and temperature that you get from steam wands, and even though this is a basic Panarello so it won’t give you control over texture, it will give you control over temperature, and if you slide the Panarello off and use the steam pipe as a steam wand, you’ll have full control over the texture too.

DeLonghi Primadonna

This is DeLonghi’s premium range of bean to cup coffee machines, and as far as I can see these machines have been brewed for those who like to make a statement with their purchases. I’m not saying that if you buy one of these this is the reason you bought one, nevertheless I reckon it’s the factor of human nature that the DeLonghi marketing folk have honed in on when developing this range.

Just take a glance at the dictionary definition of the word: “a extremely temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance” – and OK, the literal translation to English is First Woman, and the term itself came from Opera, the Prima Donna being the primary female singer (first lady), but I’m guessing the name came from how much importance they’ve given to the appearance of this range.

All of the DeLonghi Primadonna machines are one touch, fully automatic coffee machines, and they all have fancy features including full colour touch screen displays and connectivity via the De’Longhi coffee app.

  • TFT touch screen controls
  • Connectivity (DeLonghi App)
  • 5 personalised profiles + guest function

My Observations

This is among the entry-level DeLonghi Primadonna machines, and entry-level may seem like a stretch for a coffee makeking device costing around a grand, but that brews it around five or six hundred less quid than the Primadonna Elite, below.

Basically, though lots of people will think a grand or even a grand and a half is a heck of a lot to blow on a coffee brewing tool, it’s all comparative, there are much, much more expensive machines out there too.

Plus, if you currently spend many money on take-away coffee, depending on where you grab your coffee, you’re investing money in a coffee machine, not blowing it, and if you invest wisely you’ll probably find that it ends up saving you money in the long run. It is worth pointing out, even though,  as I spoken about earlier, coffee quality isn’t necessarily linked to purchase price when you’re buying a bean to cup coffee brewing equipment, and how long a machine lasts for isn’t necessarily associated with cost either.

The ESAM 4200, for example, will make extremely similar cup quality to the much more expensive Dinamica machines, and I know people who’ve owned these low cost machines for several years, basically, I understand some people who have used a Magnifica machine for over 10 years before replacing it. 

What you’re mainly paying for at the higher end of things is things like personalisation, one-touch milkies, and numerous ingest options, for example, with this machine there are 19 one-touch ingest options:

Espresso
Coffee
Long coffee
Doppio+
Coffee pot
Brew over ice
Long Black
Americano
Espresso Macchiato
Cappuccino
Cappuccino+
CappuccinoMix
Latte
Latte Macchiato
Flat white
Cortado
Mug to go
Hot milk
Hot water

So for someone who wants coffee at the touch of a button, and who wants lots of options, I can see why they’d go for this machine, and I can understand, then, why the Primadonna range is so popular.

My Observations

This is the “Elite” version of the Primadonna and on this version, the touch screen TFT is integrated within the machine instead of appearing to be a separate tablet attached to the machine, nevertheless probably the main pull with the elite is where cold coffees are concerned. 

The Elite has a cold frother, also known as a whipper, for producing cold milk foam, which allows you to make one touch cold coffees with cold, frothed milk.

This is something I’ve experienced on commercial bean to cup coffee machines, for example on Crew Machines which are bean to cup machines for busy offices and for self-serve at restaurants and so on, nevertheless it’s not something I’d usually expect to find on a domestic coffee makeking equipment.

I’ve had cold froth from one of the Crew machines, and it’s a revelation! I wouldn’t have thought that texturing cold milk would do what it does, I’m not sure if it’s basically the texture tricking my brain, nevertheless for me when I’ve used the whipper on among these machines to whip up cold milk, it tastes almost like I’ve put whipped cream on the top of my coffee, but without the calories.

It will make hot chocolate too, and while any machine can theoretically make hot chocolate by truly putting chocolate powder into the milk, this has a hot chocolate setting with specific (customisable) settings. 

DeLonghi Maestosa

I wouldn’t refer to the Delonghi Maestosa as being a “range” as such, as there’s only one Maestosa machine at present, and it’s probably not the a lot of obvious preference for the majority of people due to the price, this isn’t a cheap coffee machine! The reason I’m including it, but, is that it’s in reality an really rare type of bean to cup coffee machine, given that it has two separate grinders. 

Having two separate grinders steeps the Delonghi Maestosa an interesting proposition for households where someone drinks decaf, where decaffeinated is often necessary, or where there’s some other reason for needing to regularly switch between coffee beans, for example, if one person loves one particular coffee bean but others in the house prefer a different bean.

The usual proposed route to solving this matter is to have a bypass chute in order to be able to use pre-ground decaffeinated, and most bean to cup machines tend to have a bypass chute. In my simple opinion, a bypass chute and pre-ground coffee is a horrible way to handle decaf.

Coffee goes stale much quicker once it has been ground, so buying a bag of pre-ground decaf and leaving it in a cupboard to go staler and staler until it’s required again isn’t a ideal preference. The main reason to buy a bean to cup coffee makeking equipment is to be able to use fresh beans, so for me, this entirely defeats the object. 

There are some coffee machines with two bean hoppers, nevertheless this is simply one hopper split into two, feeding one coffee mill. It’s definitely a better solution than utilizing pre-ground decaf, however it’s not ideal, generally because of the truth that in order to ensure you’re downing coffee brewed purely from the chosen channel you’d need to brew coffee and chuck it away, and you wouldn’t ever in fact understand for sure if you are sipping 100% decaf or 100% full caffeine. 

There’s only one other true dual mill bean to cup coffee makeking tool I’m aware of, where domestic machines are anxious, and that’s the Siemens EQ9 S700, which is available in two versions, among which has two grinders.

The dual grinder feature isn’t the only thing that Maestosa has going for it, it’s clearly a well-built machine with touch screen controls and the majority of features, nevertheless the two grinders feature is the only reason I could see why anyone might want to opt for this machine giving how much more expensive it is than any other Delonghi coffee brewing equipment.

My Observations

As I’ve explained, there’s only one version of the Maestosa, at the time of writing at least, and I think it’s fair to say this is a beast of a bean to cup coffee machine, with two separate grinders, more consume options that you could shake a stick at, and a Panarello steam wand option for anyone who prefers to steam their own milk. 

This has a whipper for cold milk froth, as does the Primadonna, above, and the hot chocolate setting. 

I’ve not put a figure above for how lots of grind settings this has, as the grind settings are adjusted via the touch screen, and I can’t find a figure anywhere to state how the majority of settings there are. What I have found, but, is a suggestion in the manual that five or six coffees need to be brewed after adjusting the grind size in order to be able to notice the difference in the cup. 

What this points to, is a quite large grind retention – which confirms my thoughts on why using separate grinders would be a much better choice than a split hopper or simply switching beans with a single grinding machine bean to cup machine.

Retention, or “exchanged retention” is the coffee that is retained inside the grinder and is used for subsequent coffees. Not 100% of the coffee being ground exits the machine at that time, there’s nearly always some exchange going on meaning that you’re utilizing some coffee from the last time you ground. 

Given that DeLonghi are saying that you need to make five or six coffees until you notice the difference that the grind adjustment made, it needs to mean there’s rather most exchanged retention, and that won’t only be with the Maestosa, I suspect it’ll be the same or really similar grinders and brewing units other Delonghi coffee machines, so it will be similar retention – and the same is more than likely the case with other brands of bean to cup machines, as the majority of of them are rather similar where the grinders and brewing units are anxious.

So what this means is that if you were to work with one grinder via a split hopper, for example, you’d possibly have to make and throw a number of coffees before you’re consuming coffee made 100% with the new coffee bean, and if that’s the case it steeps a dual coffee mill coffee machine by far the perfect option for quickly switching beans, particularly for switching to and from decaffeinated.

OK, for the price you could argue that buying two entirely separate coffee machines would be just as good an option, and that’s a fair comment nevertheless you’d then also have to have the space for two separate machines.

Kev’s DeLonghi Bean to Cup Coffee brewing equipment What the FAQ
