Replacement Delonghi Magnifica

Heighway61

I bought this Magnifica S in 2016 for £320:

It's failed with a fault that cleaning doesn't fix (doesn't recognise the grounds container).

It's selling now for £580 so that's out as a replacement.

Could anyone recommend a similar replacement from Amazon that would be currently low on their ever changing price graph?

Couldn't find better than this one

It is very cheap too. Better than ANY Delonghi in terms of espresso quality. Almost as good as Jura, also made by same factory as Jura machines.

ps. Never realised it is used one .

I probably wouldn't buy used bean to cup machine.

Here the link for brand new from Amazon.de

Beware it is only SOLO without MILK option. ( no cappuccinos etc) Still makes better black coffee than any Delonghi.

I've got used to cappuccinos, the delonghi makes a beautiful cappuccino so don't want to give that up. Not so great at the espresso.

Will keep looking.

All in all

Hi, sorry to resurrect this thread. My delonghi has given up the ghost after 9 years, just won't power on. Is the recommendation still for the Melitta or anything else in similar price range £300/€400.
