4
heritage of Italian culture and tradition. So now that you
know who the experts are, who else but De’Longhi could
create the ultimate super automatic machine?
5.1 Features and Benefits
What You Grind is What You Brew The compact and
patented Direct-to-Brew System with Thermo Block
technology provides excellent heat distribution and it’s
removable for easy cleaning. The beans are ground
instantly to ensure the freshest espresso or coffee.
Professional-Quality Conical Burr Grinder Integrated burr
grinder produces consistent, fresh and aromatic espresso
or coffee. Grind settings allow you to adjust the fineness
for all types of beans.
Instant Reheat Function The instant reheat function heats
the core of the machine, ensuring that Magnifica
maintains an ideal temperature for brewing.
Patented Cappuccino System Frother This special frothing
system includes a chamber that mixes steam and milk to
create a rich creamy froth. It’s perfect for making the
ideal cappuccino, latte or any other frothy milk espresso
/ coffee beverage.
Espresso / Coffee Flavor and Quantity Controls Two
separate easy-to-use control dials allow you to easily
make adjustments to espresso / coffee strength and
brewed espresso / coffee amounts.
Automatic Controls and Indicators The water level and
used coffee containers are monitored automatically for
worry-free use. There are also indicators for rinsing,
cleaning and decalcifying. This will facilitate care and
maintenance of the machine.
EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 4

6: Introduction To Crema
What is an Authentic Espresso?
To appreciate the quality and consistency of the
Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good
espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian
espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that
lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown
foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a
perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds
that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A
good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds
before it dissipates completely, once this has happened,
the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an
authentic-tasting espresso.

using whole coffee beans)
• Never fill coffee bean container with pre-ground
coffee.
Tip: Before filling the coffee bean container, make
sure to remove any foreign objects
1. Open the coffee bean container lid and fill
container with coffee beans and close the lid.
(Figure 2)
2. Note: If you are using frozen coffee beans, let them thaw for 3 to 4
hours before filling them into the bean container. This will prevent
moisture from seeping into the grinder. Never use sugar-coated beans.
Note: It is recommended not to use oily, sugar coated or flavored
beans. These types of beans could damage the machine.
11.2A Setting the Coffee Grinder (If you are using whole coffee beans)

13
Figure 1
Figure 2
EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 13

14
correct delivery of the espresso / coffee.
2. If after making the first espresso / coffee the
delivery it too fast or too slow (in drops), the grinding
coarseness must be adjusted using the coffee
grinder dial (Figure 3) located inside the bean
container.
3. Turning one click (one number) clockwise
achieves faster delivery of the espresso / coffee and
a coarser ground coffee.
4. Turning one click (one number) counter-clockwise
achieves slower delivery of the espresso / coffee and
a finer ground coffee (and makes the coffee
creamier in appearance).
5. These adjustments will only be evident after the
delivery of at least 2 cups of espresso / coffee.
6. The coffee grinder dial must only be turned when the
coffee grinder is on.
11.3 Filling the Ground Coffee Container (If you are
using pre-ground coffee)
• Never add the pre-ground coffee when the machine
is off.
• Never add more than 1 full measure of pre-ground
coffee. The ground coffee funnel will get blocked.
• When dosing the quantity of pre-ground coffee to be
added, only use the measuring scoop provided.
• Use only pre-ground coffee specifically for use in
espresso machines. Do not use whole coffee beans,
freeze-dried coffee or other materials that may
damage the machine.
• Never use instant coffee. It could severely damage
the brewing system.
Tip: Before filling the ground coffee container, make
sure to remove any foreign objects.
7. Open the ground coffee container lid (located in
the center of the machine). To prepare one espresso / coffee and
add just one level measure of pre-ground coffee
with measuring scoop (provided). (Figure 4)

from the frother. When the cup is 1/3 full, turn the steam control dial
half a turn clockwise (Figure 8) to terminate the flow of water.
13. Wait for the and lights to stop flashing.
When the lights are flashing, the machine is still pre-
heating.
14. The machine will automatically perform a rinse
cycle and a little hot water will release from the
coffee spouts and collect in the drip tray.
15. Once the lights illuminate steadily, the machine
has reached the ideal temperature for making
espresso/coffee and is now ready for use.
16. Note: Before preparing the espresso/coffee,
always make sure that the green and
lights are on steadily.
11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial
1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9)
to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee
from regular, strong to extra strong.
2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity
of coffee beans the machine will grind, and
therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for
the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and
error.
3. Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the
espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing
two cups of espresso / coffee.
11.5 Espresso / Coffee Quantity
11.5A The Difference Between Espresso/Coffee Quantity
• “Ristretto” (small/short) espresso: 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. of coffee
• “Espresso”: 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee
• Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee
15
Figure 7
Figure 8
Figure 9
EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 15

16
Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to
“ristretto” or “espresso” coffee. Drink the large
(American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if
you prefer.
Tip: If you add sugar and milk to your cup before
you brew your espresso/coffee it will be dissolved
more uniformly.
Tip: If you set the espresso / coffee quantity dial to maximum and push
the 2-cup button, the machine will prepare a 12 oz. coffee. The
average coffee drinker may find this to be too mild, so adjust the
volume accordingly.
11.5B Setting the Espresso / Coffee Quantity
1. Turn the coffee quantity dial (Figure 10) to set the amount of
espresso/coffee desired.
2. Turning the dial clockwise makes a longer coffee. Note: When using

found by trial and error.
12: Preparing the Espresso / Coffee
Please follow the instructions below. You can make any quantity of
espresso/coffee from 1/2 oz. to 12 oz.
Note: The process is always the same: water is forced through the
coffee in a very short time period to avoid over-extraction, for perfect
espresso / coffee every time.
Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is
completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso
/ coffee and the machine will become noisy.
Before preparing the espresso / coffee, make sure you have done the
following:
• Followed all of the instructions listed under Section 11 of the manual
(“Preparing the Machine”).

they may be very hot. Allow contents to cool, and then remove the
used water tray and discard the water.

12.3 Tips on Making Hotter Coffee
•When the machine is first turned on and a short cup of espresso /
coffee is required, use the hot rinse cycle to pre-heat cups (refer to
point 14 in section 11.3 of the manual).
•Unless pre-heated, do not use cups that are too thick.
•Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot
water.
•Use cups that have been previously heated using the cup warmer on
top of the machine.
13: Frothing or Steaming (How to Make the Perfect
Cappuccino or Latte)
What is cappuccino?
A cup of cappuccino is one shot of espresso, 1/3 cup steamed milk
with a dollop of froth. It can be garnished with chocolate, cinnamon
or nutmeg.
What is a latte?
A cup of latte is one shot of espresso (or two shots for a double latte),
1/2 cup steamed milk with about 1/2 to 1/3 froth.
• Use this feature to heat up liquids or to froth or steam milk for
cappuccinos or lattes.
• The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Please refer to the
“Cleaning and Maintenance” section of the manual for more detailed
instructions.
Before First Use:
1. The removable parts of the milk frother (milk frother body and steam
nozzle) are high precision parts. Always keep these two parts clean
and free of milk residue. (See “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of
the manual for more detailed instructions on cleaning.)
Ready to Begin Frothing or Steaming:
1. Fill a container (metal container is recommended) with about 3.5 oz.
of cold milk.
2. Note: Skim (0% fat) milk is recommended. It will produce the most
froth and will let you taste more of the espresso / coffee. 1% and 2%
milk will produce less froth, and regular milk (3% fat) will give you half or
less than half the froth of skim milk.
3. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the volume
will increase by two or three times.
