For once, the strength of the robot-coffee offered by Delonghi lies in the simplicity of use and maintenance, the functionality of the machine, all enhanced by an irreproachable design and finishing qualities. Fast and quiet, the Dinamica FEB 3535 will delight all coffee lovers in a hurry in the morning. The only downside: to get down to customizing recipes, it is necessary to go through the settings of the machine and not from the dedicated menu. Note that this coffee maker is available in another version, without a milk carafe.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Magnifica Evo FEB2961.SB is a slightly more sophisticated version of the FEB2942.TB. Just as fast and silent, it swaps its steam nozzle for a milk carafe and incorporates an additional customizable recipe, precisely for milk drinks. In order to select one of the five recipes available in total, but also to personalize it, the Delonghi coffee maker incorporates a touch control panel. A specificity of the Evo series which finally finds in this FEB2961.SB a real reason to exist alongside the more affordable Magnifica S and S Smart.
