I'm debating whether I should get this or not.
Anyone have it?
Worth it?
Is it complicated to use?
I ordered it last week and got it! It is really easy to use and I am liking it so far. I had to google a video instructions on how to use because the included instructions weren't great.
I own the prior model of this machine -- makes great coffee but is a little slow on start up.
Costco has same machine, same price for those with a membership: https://www.costco.com/philips-32...86499.html
De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Automatic Espresso & Cappuccino Machine with Latte Crema System -$549
Or this?
I have the MagnĂfica with Crema. I ended up choosing it over the 3200 a few months ago because many YouTube reviews said that cleaning is easier on the MagnĂfica. So far, it's been a great machine and easy to clean. The only thing I wished was that all trays were dishwasher safe, but only some are.

had it for about 1.5 years. super easy to use. maintenance is easy and not that often (varies on amount of use). it takes about 60 cups for the machine to really make "great coffee" so understand that, they also mention it in the owner's manual. once you start to learn the machine you can make a really great latte\capp\etc for like....45 cents?

I just got this last week. Wondering do you adjust the grinding size (in the beans) when you make coffee compared to espresso? or just leave the size in the middle?
2 years going no issues. This one is a slight revision to the one before. Consistent as day 1 (although the machine takes 20 cups or so to get dialed in when new)
3200 owner for the last 3 years. Keep up on maintenance and it will work great. (take out the brew group every week and rinse it off and let it air dry) clean the grinder every bag or 2 bags of beans (supergrindz tablets)
descale at filter change
reapply grease on the yellow colored parts at grinder cleanings or filter changes
Fantastic price IMHO. I bought the ice coffee version of this and the next level up (4400?) and they are solid machines. Super easy to clean if you need to (I haven't going on 2 and 1 year respectively) with around 20 cups/week each since I bought them. Never descaled (only filtered water) and the older one might use it, but I never got around to it.
No gripes, no muss, no fuss, they just work well.
The 3200 goes through water like no tomorrow. Like the front pull out container is easy enough to fill it, but it rinses out each time it turns on/off and you can't adjust the timer whereas the 4400 has adjustable timer and smart setting (if you restart machine within a short while of it autoshutting off, it wont do a cleaning cycle). Not a bad thing, but if you're wondering why the water needs to be refilled so often, that's the culprit.

I was looking between those 2 too! I haven't tried the De'Longhi. Went with the philips because of the sale. I am thinking they are pretty similar.
