Do not buy!!!!
Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The machine worked fine for the first few months, then suddenly stopped brewing properly. The espresso smells burnt, tastes awful, and comes out separated. I’ve contacted customer service multiple times and have mailed the machine back TWICE — and it’s still not fixed. Completely unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration and do not buy from this brand. Take your money somewhere that actually stands behind its products.

Missing Parts and solution. $600 product Re-packaged
I’m just now reading reviews after I bought this today and spent $646 after tax. And I also had the same problem as others where the box was empty, and there was no descaling solution to run through the machine. It looks like it got returned. The plastic was off of it. The descaling solution is $18 online. I just wish that it would’ve came with the machine may return.

Temperature & noise level questionable
The coffee is good, but not very hot. The machine is louder than any machine I’ve had in the past. I’d recommend to a person who’s ok with a “cooler”. NOT cold, who doesn’t mind loud machines.

Perfect for a beginner
After visiting my family in France and enjoying their freshly ground coffee each morning, my home Keurig was no longer acceptable to my newly acquired espresso palate. I asked my cousin which brand he owned and sent a photo of a De'Longhi Magnifica S which I wasn't able to find, probably an older model. So I decided on this model. I love that I do not have to press my own grounds and worry about a perfect puck. I even drink my coffee black now because the flavor is just so good!

$400 Paper Weight in a Month
A little over a month (and past the return window) and this machine already has a failed sensor (grounds tray sensor) that makes this a $400 paper weight. Do not recommend, avoid at all cost.

Extremely easy set up. I love the self cleaning function which allows the bean to coffee experience to be easy and not a lot of maintenance.

Defective out of box. Not happy first time customer
Defective right out of box. No water is released by pressing setting button at first time setup. Filter and descaling solution are missing in box. I was going to ignore this but the unit does not even work at get go. I saw same review about these on another web seller. So these must be not unusual issues with DeLonghi. Can’t give review on quality of this unit yet till I get the replacement. (If I will still have a chance to leave another review with the replacement) Sent it back on the 4th. Target won’t release the replacement till they receive the defective one on the10th. Then I get to wait for them to mail out the replacement. So I paid for it a week ago now and get to wait for another two weeks or so. After receiving a defective/refurbish unit from delonghi and now get a bad time with Target.

Used and resold without inspection
Target sent me a used product without inspecting it. Someone had used this item and packaged it back up, but one of the pieces was wet so it grew mold in the box.

More Target than the product. I ordered online and Target shipped it to me. All they did was slap a shipping label on the factory packaging and sent it to me. It areived with the box ripped, and it had been dropped as the base of the machine was broken. I submitted my request for a return and it told me to bring it into any Target store and they would take it, and a new one would be shipped to me. I took it to Target, and nobody in the store had a clue on how to exchange an online order, in store. I was showing them on my phone where Targets instructions told me to bring it in, and they told me Target does not do that. Ended up getting a refund, and I found a better deal elsewhere. Your loss Target.

Nope
Initially makes great coffee. However, the water measuring mechanism was broken day one. We were able to fix it. But it is impossible to clean. It just keeps running water forever and never completes the cycle. I have tried for 3 hours straight to go through the cycle and it never finishes. Might have to get a new machine and it will not be this brand.

Stopped working
Unfortunately, this is the second espresso machine from this brand that I purchased since February 2025 and neither of them have worked. This machine stopped working just after six months and I wasn’t able to return it to target because it was past the window. I contacted the company and did not receive any resolution to replacing this machine. I definitely would not recommend this brand.
