Delonghi Magnifica Espresso Maker – How to get the best brew
The Delonghi Magnifica espresso maker is considered to be one of the top espresso brewers on the market. It has many features that provide the user with convenience and ease of use. However, how does it provide such an excellent cup of espresso? The secret is in the brew.
The Delonghi Magnifica features a grind-to-brew feature which gives the espresso the very freshest and best taste possible. The adjustable grind knob allows you to customize the grind to suit your tastes. My suggestion is that you choose a fine grind for espresso to get the most out of your bean.
The machine will grind your bean to your customized liking and will also pre-moisten the grounds. This is important to get a truly rich, bold tasting shot of espresso. Pre-moistening the beans allows the forced water to penetrate the grounds and steep them much stronger.
The Delonghi has an adjustable “strength” dial. This allows you to determine how strong you would like your espresso to be. It may take some playing around to get just the right strength and grind to make your espresso to your liking. My suggestion is to start off by setting your strength to 2 or 3.
The Delonghi Magnifica espresso maker has an adjustable forced water system allowing you to alter the amount of water forced into your puck. This will allow you to create a single or double shot. My suggestion is that you start with the double shot until you get the consistency of your espresso to your liking.
Once the machine has been fine-tuned to suit your coffee bean, it creates shot after shot of perfect espresso. It’s simple to use and makes an espresso which tastes better than most coffee houses. The Delonghi Magnifica espresso machine continues to get top ratings for ease of use, easy cleaning and best tasting espresso.
