I've got a Delonghi Magnifica, and cleaning that super-automatic beast involves a trip to the shop table where I strip the sides out, pull out as much of the innards as I'm ambitious enough to do, then blow all the shit out of it with the compressor. Maybe replace a couple o-rings if it's leaking at the boiler again.
But I don't mind, that machine has given me something like 40,000 shots, maybe 50,000 at this point, I haven't checked the counter in a long time. Had it for almost 15 years now I'd say.
It owes me nothing. I love it like a member of the family.
I think the new Evo isn't as rough to maintain as the old one I have. I actually had two and I'm cannabilizing the second for parts, replaced it with an Evo. It seems fine, I wish it had the display of the original. It doesn't seem to get as much grind through the innards as the old unit.
Yah, unless you want to use the ground add hopper every time to add the caff grind for wife, it might not be worth it. We aren't too picky, whatever's in the beans hopper is good for us.
I really like my Breville Oracle Jet because it's pretty trivial to clean. It's still super easy to use, but the more traditional build makes maintenance nice.

I think the second is shorter. Still looking.

The differences one can make out in these high resolution pics is staggering 😂

Next time better use a 30° cycle instead of a 60° cycle, then you are sure that it won’t shrink

You added water, that's quite the feat.

Oh, just woke up after my after-cleaning-coffee-machine nap. As you can see, the clean was indeed needed. The machine was very dirty before this.

Yeah, after that much work I can see a nap being in order

I wanted a Magnifica for so long but I can't justify it because I drink decaf and the wife drinks half caf. Don't want to buy/maintain two of them...

Newbie mistake... you need to air dry it or else it shrinks.

Life is too short. I don't even have a sophisticated palate, but great coffee can be enjoyed with very little effort...

Maybe that's why they aren't spending it on making fancy coffee 😉
