De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Next: what changes from the Evo

What the Evo Next adds to the Evo

In De’Longhi’s documents, the Evo Next and the Magnifica Evo share a great deal: pump pressure (15 bar), power, thermoblock heating, a 250 g hopper, the LatteCrema Hot carafe, a removable brew group, room for cups up to 14 cm, and the same 24 cm by 44 cm by 36 cm body. Both manuals give 9.6 kg.

The differences are in the controls and the drinks:

	Magnifica Evo	Magnifica Evo Next
Controls	Colour icon buttons	2.4-inch colour display with touch-sensitive buttons
Drinks by De’Longhi’s count	7	13
User profiles	none stated	3
Water tank (manual)	1.8 l	1.9 l
UK price bracket	Upper mid-range	Upper mid-range

The extra drinks, according to the manual’s table, include doppio+, Americano, Cappuccino+, espresso macchiato and two espressos at once. Each profile keeps its own “my” settings, and De’Longhi announces 3 coffee temperature options. If you live alone and drink one or two milk coffees a day, the Evo already covers that; the Evo Next earns its place when several people want different drinks saved.

Milk: the same carafe

The LatteCrema Hot carafe froths and pours on its own, as on the Evo. De’Longhi does not publish its capacity. The manual lists the dismantled carafe and the drip tray grille as dishwasher-safe; the cup rest grille is not. The care a carafe needs every day is in our cleaning guide.

For a household of four at two cups each, the 1.9 l tank lasts a day or two and the hopper three or four days. The grounds container is rated for 14 servings.

Drinks counts are each brand’s own tally: compare them loosely across brands.

Which Evo Next in the UK: 13 or 10 drinks

Model code	Colour	Drinks by De’Longhi’s count	UK site when we read it
ECAM 312.80.TB (our data)	Titanium	13	Listed, out of stock
ECAM 310.80.SB	Silver Black	13	Listed, not orderable
ECAM 310.60.B	Black	10	Listed and orderable

The shared manual covers the 31X.6Y and 31X.8Y versions. The 31X.6Y models have no Americano, Cappuccino+ or espresso macchiato, which is why they are listed with ten drinks. Our figures were read on the ECAM 312.80.TB; if the listing shows a 310.60, expect the shorter drinks list.

What De’Longhi’s documents leave open

• Tank: the manuals give 1.9 litres, the product pages 1.8. We follow the manual.
• Weight: the product pages show the packed weight; we follow the manual.
• Grinder: no burr type and no number of grind settings; the manual refers to a tutorial on the machine.
• Carafe capacity: not published.
• Temperature levels: the three options come from the product description; the manual describes the setting without counting levels.
• Noise: no decibel figure. It is on our list of planned measurements.
• Warranty: De’Longhi’s UK product page states 2 years.

Against its neighbours

• The Rivelia has the same carafe, a touchscreen, four profiles, 13 published grind settings and two swappable hoppers, but a smaller tank and a premium price bracket.
• The Philips 5400 LatteGo is the closest Philips: a colour display, four profiles and a LatteGo milk system, with 12 published grind settings.
• Brand and category views: our De’Longhi comparison, machines with a milk system and the bean-to-cup comparison.

The cost per cup calculator shows how the step from the Evo spreads over your cups, and the machine finder helps you weigh profiles against price.
