A super automatic espresso machine will give you great espresso and espresso based drinks without all the work of other espresso makers. It is a lot like having a barista in your home. However finding a high rated super automatic espresso maker with high reviews under $1500 is hard to do. The DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine is one that has high ratings, good reviews, a good price, and all the features that you want from a super automatic coffee machine.

The DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine has a professional quality conical burr grinder that is adjustable to grind all sorts of beans as fine as you want or need them. It has a patented “Direct-to-Brew” system which sends freshly grinds down to brew them right away. With an easy to use control panel you will be able to use menu settings, the push button controls, and the rotary controls to create the perfect coffees. The milk frother uses a “Cappuccino System” to steam milk and froth it into a rich and creamy texture for your cafe drinks. The system doesn't take any extra time to prepare cappuccino after espresso either.

This coffeemaker uses its system to make rich coffee in a variety of strengths. You can use it for espresso or Americanos to replace your coffee maker. It is fast to heat up and will deliver you a fresh cup of coffee without a lot of work. This is a great feature and can make it a machine that is even better than many other super automatic espresso machines. Even the negative reviews on this machine rave about how good the coffee is. There is no doubt about it, but this machine makes great coffee.

The DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Maker does have a few features that are either missing or don't really work. The first is the cup warmer which just doesn't get the job done. It isn't programmable so you can't have it make coffee for you before you wake up. It is pretty noisy so may not be the way you want to go if you are getting up in the morning before someone else. The machine can fail and leak easily. It seems that keeping it clean every week can help with both of these issues, but it has a poor engineering with very thin plastic parts where ever possible.

Overall, the DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso / Coffee has a lot of advantages. It will give you great espressos and Americanos. It isn't easy enough to use the milk frother to use it all day long, but it has that ability when you want a cappuccino instead of a different kind of coffee. There are some of its features that are lacking or just not functional enough to make them worth while, but if you are really wanting this type of coffeemaker then this is one of the best options, if not the very best in this price range.
