Meet the De'Longhi brand
Before getting into the matter, it is important that you know that De'Longhi, it's a brand very popular super-automatic, espresso and capsule machines.
Your The first line, which they called 'Bar', went on the market in 1990. and from that moment on they did not stop manufacturing coffee makers with specific characteristics for each consumer.
Although most of their coffee makers have qualities that are difficult to ignore, the truth is that some can be a little expensive, and others are a bit noisy.
This does not mean that they are the most unfortunate option, since, like any product, they have advantages and disadvantages. But one of its points in favor is that the brand has a wide variety of machines, with incredible designs that could look great in any kitchen.
De’Longhi Magnifica vs super-automatic coffee machine Incapto
On this occasion we are going to compare the De'Longhi Magnifica, which due to its features and price could be on par with the super-automatic coffee maker from Incapto.
At first glance they may be almost similar machines, however, there are some details that make them compete and will probably help you make a decision in case you are undecided.
That said, we will tell you what makes them different coffee makers in the following comparison:
Power
The power of the super-automatic coffee maker Incapto it is 1470w, while that of De'Longui 1450w, 20w less power.
The pressure bars
The coffee maker Incapto It has 19 bars and the De'longui 15.
To give you an idea, the difference between a machine to obtain filter coffee and one to prepare espresso coffee is the pressure. With the same type of coffee, depending on the pressure bars, we can obtain a stronger or more intense drink. Without pressure it would be a filter coffee.
Water tank capacity
The superautomatic De'Longui is 1.8L of water and 250g of coffee and in the case of coffee maker Incapto It is 1.5 L and 150 g of coffee.
According to our experts, since these are domestic coffee makers and the usual thing is to make between 2 and 6 coffees a day, it is not necessary to add as much water.
Thus, it will always be fresher and cleaner. Regarding the coffee bean deposit, in some videos that we have shared in the Youtube channel You will have seen that we usually recommend not filling it completely for two reasons:
- The first, is that to make it easy to go varying coffee and with a full tank you must wait to spend it to change.
- Regarding the second, we specify that to better preserve the coffee it is preferable to use a airtight jar or an airless container like the Airscape. It can also be kept in the zip bag so that it is not in contact with oxygen and thus prevents it from oxidizing or becoming rancid quickly.
Size and weight
In the case of Incapto It has a weight of 7.8 kg, while its measurements are 30 cm high, 18 cm wide, 40 cm deep.
The De'Longhi Magnifica coffee maker measures 35 cm high, 24 cm wide and 43 cm deep and weighs 8.9 kg.
Although this is larger, the Incapto Coffee has a more compact design. This point will depend on the space you want to dedicate in your kitchen for the coffee maker.
Technology
Now, let's take a quick look at the two machines. The Incapto It has a touch screen, and the De'Longui has pressable buttons, here it will depend on preferences.
Coffee compartment
As you can see, if you have put too much coffee and want to change and extract it from the tank, in the super-automatic Incapto you can get the excess grains out better. In the case of De'Longui, this is not possible.
water tank
With our super-automatic coffee maker, it is possible to remove it with its handle, making it a much easier way. But the De'Longui one is removed from the side and comes in two pieces, so it is a little uncomfortable.
mill wheel
This is a characteristic on which they agree perfectly, since it is quite similar in both coffee makers.
Other features of the coffee makers Incapto and Delonghi
There are some aspects that make them stand out from each other.
Grams of coffee per cup and variety of drinks
For example, the superautomatic of Incapto It has three buttons, which are for espresso that uses between 9-10 grams and mild coffee that uses approximately 6-7 grams and the hot water button. The amount of water can be adjusted if you want to prepare any of the longer or shorter options.
On the other hand, the De'Longui has four buttons, which are for: short single coffee, short double, single long and double long.
What varies in each of the buttons is the amount of water, because you have to select the amount of coffee. Imagine that you are at home, you prepare an espresso and you have it graduated halfway. It turns out quite rich. But if any of your family members come and you prepare a double for them, you do it without the need for the coffee wheel.
In short, your cup will not be the same as anyone else's. Every time you want to use a single or double coffee you will have to take this into account and vary the amount of beans.
As you already know, coffee is a recipe for a quantity of coffee and water. If you don't move the coffee wheel first you make a single with about 8 grams and then you make a double, you will notice that each double will only have 4 grams.
It turns out that the MAX coffee option does not fit in the filter holder and that causes the drink to come out in drops and very slowly. Our experts assure that it will never be as good to prepare a black coffee as a double one, so they consider that the double buttons are unnecessary.
milk frother
There is an option that the De'Longhi Magnifica machine has that the Incapto Coffee does not have and it is about the milk frother.
As you may already know, the first machine Incapto It had a steamer and realizing that it is not easy to steam and emulsify milk, we preferred to do without it.
In short, it is easier to get very large bubbles, it is a bacteria nest, if not thoroughly cleaned and purged before and after use.
In addition, the machine is stressed because it needs much higher temperature to make steam, and that makes limescale easily encrust.
That is why we have preferred to offer a electric milk frother or cappuccino maker external, which is easy to use and clean. With just the push of a button you have delicious foam for cappuccino.
How is the maintenance and cleaning of both coffee makers?
This is one of the most important points that you should consider when purchasing any coffee maker.
In the case of a superautomatic, it's all about maintenance and cleaning. As you already know, coffee is organic matter and to make the drink we use hot water. This generates steam and humidity inside any machine. Furthermore, when the coffee is ground, in any coffee maker it is very easy for there to be remains around the mill or inside it.
Therefore, it is extremely important to be able to easily access all the little corners of the machine where the coffee passes. From the mill to the grounds container. We have to do good maintenance and ensure that mold does not occur.
We hope this comparison has been useful, especially if you still don't know which super-automatic coffee maker to buy.
We invite you to evaluate each of their functions, how sustainable they are when preparing the coffee and of course, the variety of prices. In Incapto Coffee, we offer payment flexibilities to make this experience unique and hard to ignore.
