De'Longhi sells more bean-to-cup models in the UK than almost anyone, and the names overlap: Magnifica S, Start, Evo Next, Plus and Duo, then Dinamica Plus, Rivelia and Eletta Explore. The range climbs in clear steps. The base Magnifica S has a manual frother. Magnifica Start adds LatteCrema Hot automatic milk. Evo Next and Plus add a colour display, more drinks and user profiles. Magnifica Duo adds a cold foam carafe. Rivelia adds swappable bean hoppers, and Eletta Explore adds cold brew and more than 50 drinks. This guide sets eight models side by side on milk system, drinks, grinder, display and profiles, using De'Longhi's own listings, so you can see where the value sits.
