Compare De'Longhi series
PrimaDonna series: high-end
The PrimaDonna series are the high-end models by De'Longhi, thanks to the robust stainless steel casing and the sturdy parts that don't easily get damaged. The machines all have a nice display to easily operate the device. You can also control some devices via the app. This way, you can put together your favorite recipes from the couch. Thanks to the LatteCrema system, you can make tasty cappuccinos that will be ready at the touch of a button.
Dinamica series: mid-range
You get a great fully automatic coffee machine if you choose a machine from the Dinamica series. The Dinamica coffee machines are made of plastic, so they're less sturdy than those from the PrimaDonna series. You can easily operate them via the display. The models in this series differ slightly from each other. For example, your choice will only be displayed in text on some models. On other models, you'll see images. The machines with milk reservoir all have the LatteCrema system.
Eletta series: mid-range
This user-friendly series guides you through the menu via the text display, so you can make a cappuccino with one press of a button. You can prepare a coffee specialty with the right set milk and coffee temperature in no time, thanks to the dual heating system. You can also save your own coffee recipes by adjusting the strength, volume, and temperature of your coffee. The larger bean hopper and water tank makes this series different from the other mid-range series. The plastic casing makes the machine less durable than a stainless steel machine.
Magnifica series: basic
The biggest difference with the other De'Longhi series' is that the Magnifica and Magnifica S have a steam wand. With this milk system, it's less easy to make a cappuccino. It's difficult to froth the milk foam to the right thickness. In addition, these models are a lot less solid. The Magnifica is a basic model and is especially suitable for regular coffee and espresso lovers.
