De’Longhi Magnifica ECAM220.31.SB Fully-auto Espresso machine 1.8 L

The De’Longhi Magnifica ECAM220.31.SB is a fully automatic espresso machine designed for home use, featuring a 1.8 L removable water tank and an integrated conical grinder. The compact unit combines a black and stainless steel finish with two spouts for fast single-cup preparation and supports both whole coffee beans and pre-ground coffee. With a power rating of 1450 W and a total weight of 8.8 kg, the machine delivers consistent extraction and convenient daily operation while occupying modest counter space.

Advantages

The built-in grinder enables fresh grinding immediately before extraction, helping to preserve aroma and flavor without requiring a separate appliance. The 1.8 L water tank reduces refill frequency for regular use, and the dual-spout group allows preparing a single cup quickly or two narrow servings in one cycle. A stainless steel exterior combined with black detailing provides a durable surface that is easy to wipe clean. The machine supports both beans and ground coffee, offering flexibility for different brewing preferences.
