I spend most of my days commanding a stovetop, simmering veal demi-glace, not playing barista. But when I tested the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo Automatic Espresso & Coffee Machine with Milk Frother at a client’s estate in East Hampton, let’s just say I quickly began googling “espresso machine suitcase travel bag.”
This beauty is currently 26% off on Amazon ahead of Prime Day 2025, which is set to run July 8–12. If you’ve been flirting with the idea of becoming your own live-in barista, now’s the time to commit. Prime Day deals like this don’t linger (and neither will your willpower after that first sip of perfectly frothed cappuccino, by the way).
This De’Longhi espresso machine doesn’t just look luxe, it performs like a full-up cafe with none of the attitude. The touch display makes it dead simple to switch between espresso, coffee, over ice, or latte drinks. And the milk frother? Automatic, silky, hands-free magic. I never once had to correct it. That’s rare. Like, four Michelin stars are rare.
It grinds whole beans fresh for every cup (a must), has a built-in conical burr grinder with adjustable settings, and even self-cleans. I repeat: it self-cleans. That’s the culinary equivalent of finding a sous chef who’s also hot and never talks. It’s sleek, intuitive, and surprisingly compact considering how many roles it juggles. For anyone who likes their coffee ritual luxe but low-lift, this is the best espresso machine under $1,000 I’ve ever used. And I’ve pretty much used them all.
