This is a video on all the cleaning and maintenance tasks you need to do to keep your delonghi magnifica evo coffee maker running smoothly. Keeping your magnifica evo operating optimally requires you to clean the milk bottle, emptying the pulp bin properly, regular descaling, and cleaning the coffee filter.
I hope this video will also help anyone who is still contemplating on getting the Magnifica Evo. This should give an idea of how easy or taxing a cleaning task would be, which in turn could be factored in the decision making process.
Personally, I think it’s very easy to maintain. There’s several things to do to keep it clean, but each one of them don’t take too much time and effort. Cleaning the milk bottle of the delonghi coffee maker takes like a minute. Descaling the magnifica evo machine is probably the most taxing one, but that’s normal with all coffee machines I think. I also think cleaning the coffee filter is a cool process with all the snapping off and snapping on.
Delonghi should attach this video on their official website. Great job bro
Thanks! Appreciate the love.
This machine has a terrible manual, while in fact it is a simple procedure now that you showed it. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Really encouraging
This is THE most helpful video I've seen on cleaning my new machine. The user guide was terrible - I need diagrams WITH words. I descaled successfully but could not figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get the filter/infuser out of the machine. Duh ... the machine needs to be powered off. I was getting very upset with myself. Other videos I saw weren't helpful at all and then I saw yours. So short, clear, and to the point. Thank you again!
Appreciate the compliment! Happy it helped!
Complicated descaling method delonghi also unhelpful operating manual
Agree! Best video - so helpful. User guide was horrible.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact czcams.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
Yes it does! Thanks, mate.
Thanks for excellent video. As engineering background, To prevent frequent descaling cycle process & save ur time and money, just re-set the hardness level of the machine from No.4 (near salinity water as default by vendor) to level No. 1 (for mineral water) or to No. 2 ( for tap water).👍
Oh! Thanks for the tip, mate! This is very helpful!
Thank you. I always refer to your video on descaling when I do it. It has really helped. I use a citric acid solution rather than the descaling solution.
You’re welcome! Glad my video helped. And thanks for the tip on citric acid solution!
Great straight forward explanation on maintaning and descaling the coffee machine, well done
Thanks so much. Good to know it’s helped you out!
Just a tip for anyone else wanting to clean the filter, you must turn off the machine via the power button so the filter is realigned diagonally. If it's vertical, it means you probably switched it off at the wall first and you will be unable to take out of the filter.
To fix that, just connect all the pieces back into the machine (including water tank) and turn on/off the machine again so it realigns the filter for removal.
Thanks for this tip! So helpful!
Thank you!
100% it’s like a printer lol, it needs to put itself away when it’s done for the day
Unfortunately, my infuser is upright and when turned on... it doesnt let me do anything. General Alarm AND wont turn off with power button. Help?
I appreciate your videos. I have the Magnífica Start, but it’s pretty much the same machine. The only difference I saw for cleaning it was there is a different button you push to descale. I was a little intimidated cleaning it for the first time, but your video helped a lot.
it's really great to know that the video has helped a lot!
much better than the original videos from Delonghi themselves
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Much better even the official videos. Wonderful explanation. thanks!
Thanks for the love, man
Thank you so much for all your videos regarding this coffee machine. I have bought it and absolutely love it. I return to your videos over and over to help guide me. Please keep creating these videos to help us all.
Thanks so much for the love! I’m really happy that my videos have been a huge help. Will definitely add more videos in the future.
Thank you for explaining about detaching the part that is easily missed! Didn't know you can detach that bit!! Solved my problem of the milk not frothing. I stuck a cocktail stick in the connector valve!
Happy to know the video helped Nikki. And thanks for the tip of sticking a cocktail stick in the connector valve!
Hello same with us. Suddenly milk was terrible and we did not know why. We have our first machine, so we are amateurs :) Best instructional video I have seen about our machine, so thank you a lot :).
Thanks a lot of the appreciation, Pavol! Glad to know the video helped.
Got this machine last week.. IT IS MY BABY!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ lol, I need to keep it happy, thanks for the tips!!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the video. Much easier to understand than the Quick Guide.
You’re welcome, Bukusuma!
Hi! Mine is not frothing milk no matter what I’ve tried. Any ideas? Thank you
Great video! Thanks for the easy-to-understand-and-follow instructions!!
My pleasure! Glad it has been of great help!
Thank you for making this video!! My milk had stopped foaming and it was because of the ‘hidden’ inside part. I love my coffee machine again 👍☕️
You’re very much welcome! Glad the video helped!
Thank you so much! i was missing that one step with the frother with the part you removed pressing the button. This was causing my frother to not function properly and i had to order a spare one which ended up with the same issue. I watched your video last night and after that the cappuccino i made was so foamy.
Awesome to hear that it helped you out, mate!
Great video, explaining very clear and easy to understand all the steps to descale the coffee machine. Thanks
Glad to know the video helped!
Gabe, mate, youre a legend. Never neven knew you could pull the kqchine apart to that degree. Followed your advice and gave it a peroper clean. Coffee tastes like it did when it was new! Go figure! 😅😂
Thanks for the appreciation, Gregory! I’m glad that you’ve got great tasting coffee once again.
I just brought my new machine today and this video is absolutely so helpful. Thank you so much 😊😊
So happy that it has helped! Good luck with your machine!
Thank you so much. Read the instructions and could not understand a word. Listened to your video and understood everything. 👌
Awesome to know the video was helpful!
Gabe, Thanks for the great vids, we have one and had no idea about settings, Most videos about this model were ### especially the actual Delonghi vids, maybe they should hire you... we set up our machine in no time thanks to your help..
Really encouraging words, Chris. Thanks, man! Happy to have helped! Hope you enjoy the machine as much as we do..
This series is extremely helpful. Thank you! I’ve referred to your videos so many times.
Thank you so much, Rick! I really appreciate you for doing that!
You have the most helpful video I've seen on cleaning my new machine! Your simple clear information on detaching the part, Awesome. Thank you so much again, we appreciate your experience & time!!!☕❤❤☕
Thanks! Really glad my video helped!
You had explained. Why our milk frothier wasnt working well. We have been cleaning it wrong the whole time!. Thanks for the video 😊
The pleasure is all mine, mate!
Thank you so much for your video! Now, I can make a coffee. The DeLonghi explanations are USELESS! Yours are AMAZING!!!
Thanks for the appreciation, Betina! I’m glad this video has helped you out
I have trouble in pulling the tubes off due to arthritis. I will try this. Thankyou
Sorry to hear that. When you say ‘tube’, do you mean the milk bottle?
Yes sorry i mean the milk bottle
Thank you so much, clear and concise 👍
Thanks, mate!
Well done
Oh! Thanks for the appreciation!
Thanks! This is better than the offical instructions!
Good to know the video helps!
Excellent job on explaining all the details about keeping the coffee machine in top form.
Many thanks sir ! 💪🏼✅🎩
Thanks for the appreciation, mate! Very encouraging

Thank you, simple and basic instructions. So easy to follow coming from you.😂
You’re welcome, Lyn! Glad it helped.
We have this model about 3 weeks. We Love it ❤️
Glad that you’ve been enjoying it, Andis!
Great video thank you 😊. I'm going to be leaving mine for a few months - how do I get the unused coffee beans out please?
First just take them out by hand and then if there’s some that you can’t take, use a handheld vaccum
Excellent video. Many thanks❤
You’re welcome!
I'm in the market for one of these machines next year, so thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
My pleasure, mate! Hope you’ll have a good experience with yours.
Well done 👍
Appreciate the love, mate
Just wanted to thank you. I have watched all your videos. Could not have managed without you. Love from Australia ❤
You’re very much welcome, Jackie! And thank you very much for your support! I live in Aus too.

My pleasure! Happy to know its useful!
Wir haben den Kaffeeautomaten . Die Gebrauchsanweisung im Serviceheft für die Entkalkung des Gerätes ist ein glattes ungenügend . Danke für ihr Video .
Happy to know the video helped!
So helpful. And just love your sound effects in the edit! 😂
Yeah? You’re the first one to point that out. Thanks!
Thanks, this is the best video explanation I could find in yt 👍
Appreciate the love, Adel!
This is an amazing video. I just bought this machine and after 3 days I cleaned the milk bottle and I have noticed the nozzle began to extract a lot of hot air and a little milk. Like there is an air leak from the machine to the bottle before it goes to the nozzle.
Thanks, Gareeb. Hmmm? Have you tried pressing on the milk bottle to the slot and then using it? This sometimes works for me because it’s simply a matter of making a better seal between the bottle and the slot. Otherwise, you may have to call customer service
Super helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
This is a great video, thank you.
1. How often do you need to descale this machine?
2. And do we not need to clean the grinder?
I am thinking on getting this one for my home, never had anything but a keurig machine yet.
I just descale it when the descale light flashes. You can clean the grinder basin with dry paper towel, but that’s about it. Avoid getting it wet.
Thanks@@gabeslifestuff have you noticed how often the light flashes in your experience?
@@warr.iyer8944 not really. Really depends on how frequent you use it.
The dial on filter is not reminder but to set hardness
Quick question. Does step 1 take up to 45 min or all 3 steps in total take 45 min? My machine seems to be stuck at step 1 (maybe?). It spit some water out and stopped doing anything 🤷🏻♂️ I can’t seem to activate step 2. Any suggestions?
About 45mins all up. But yes, the 1st phase can take up to 30mins and, in my experience, there will be moments where it does not seem to do anything.
Thank you, great help
Glad it’s been useful, Rav!
very good editing Gabe
Thanks, Tom!
Chur bro
Lot easier with your instructions
My pleasure!
Absolutley brilliant and very helpful. Sub'd and notified as a new Subber. Thank you.
I wasnt cleaning the milk spout properly or the coffee grind/filter, also I was doing the descaling wrong lol
Question, when the water filter light comes on and Ive descaled, inserted a new water filter, the red water filter light is still on, how do I clear that ?
Is there a water filter light? Mine doesn’t have one actually. Maybe that’s a different light you are referring to.
But thanks for the support! Really means a lot!
@@gabeslifestuff yes there is a red change the water filter light. I did the clean and changed the filter but it won't clear.
მადლობა, ძალიან დამეხმარეთ❤❤❤
happy to help!
Great tutorial just one question why do I find a lot of water in the drip tray when I never have a overflow?
I honestly don’t know. But a lot of people have also experienced the same thing. Maybe it’s normal? Sorry I can’r be more helpful.
Thank youuuuu, your video is very usefullll
You’re welcome!
Genius!!! Thank you for finding this other frother part, it helped with foam!!
My pleasure!
I hold button for 5 seconds..but then the triangle sign showed up and everything stopped. What does this mean and what should I do?
Hmmm? Was the ‘descale alert light’ showing up when you decided to descale? I’m not sure about this, but I think that may be why.
Mine has the exact same issue right now. The descale light is on but nothing happens when i try to initiate the descaling. Were you able to solve it?
Great video, Gabe! I got a quick question. I ran into a problem because I use pre-ground coffee. Do you know how if I have cleansed all the necessary parts so that it could work again? Also, does the machine really not work with a pre-ground coffee? Appreciate if you can answer!
It has the ability to use pre-ground coffee. Check out my video “use and review” to know how. Hope this helps
and many thanks for those greate video
You’re welcome!
How regularly would you recommend cleaning the coffee filter? Thanks for the great content!
I clean the coffee filter at least once a month.
Thank you! 🙂
My pleasure, mate!
Gracias por el vídeo,me ha servido de mucha ayuda. Saludos desde gran canaria
You’re welcome, Jose! Happy to know that the video has been a big help.
Great video, only thing I'm struggling with is the coffee grinder. When you first open it up, it looks like mine standing straight, but then it it's tilted to the left and can be easily removed. How do you get it to tilt to the left? Mines not doing that and I can't get it out 😭
Make sure that the machine is unplugged. That usually works
Thank you
My pleasure Simona!
Epic mate!!! Life saver
My pleasure!
thank you, you helped me with that milk container
No worries, Andrada!
Thanks for awesome videos man!
I just bought this one and can't wait to make a first coffee!
How often do you do each of these cleanings?
My pleasure! At least monthly for the coffee filter. At least weekly for the milk bottle.
Hi this is brilliant thanks so much for sharing! Anyways, I was wondering how many times /month does the descaling process should take?
Hi Fahira. Thanks for the appreciation. I honestly have not worked that out. However, it should depend on your usage and the water hardness.
When my machine was new, I got the descaling icon more often. Now it's every 2 months (on schedule with the water filter change). I have at at least 2 lattes a day.
My machine isnt frothing the milk properly and makes a weird sound. Anyone have a similar issue? Any help would be appreciated
Hmmm? If you think it’s not frothing properly and it’s making a weird sound, maybe it would help to call customer service. Kind of difficult to help here if we can’t diagnose it properly. Sorry
I have the same machine. I keep getting the general error triangle code and it won’t even make an espresso shot now. At first it would make a very watery shot no matter what the grinder adjustment was and then it completely just stopped . I’ve descaled it and cleaned it numerous times. I’ve cleaned the grinder and filter. And no dice. $800 machine I had for 4 months and doesn’t even work anymore
I think you may need to call customer service. You might have to get a replacement.
Thanks for the explanation!
You’re welcome, Rick!
Omg the descaling looks totally time-consuming and complex! I own this machine but now hope this does not need to be done very often
It does take a bit of time, but it doesn’t really require that much offort
You mentioned there is a 2lt container/jug to catch the descaling liquid. Do you know where i might find one to buy?
I didn’t really go looking for one so I wouldn’t know. sorry
Cheers for this. Very helpful. My drip tray is filling up every few days, and the coffee spouts flush water on every turn on and turn off, I think this is self cleaning, is this normal?
Yup. That’s the normal cleaning mechanism of the machine.
Hey, I have a question, when I press 5 sec on the descaling button, a triangle with an exclamation mark shines in it, what can I do?
Hmmm? I’m not really sure why that is. Did you follow the process step by step as show. In the video?
Probably too much water in tank
This happens when you don’t have the water spout in
I have the same problem. Did you fix de issue?
@@ParagonRaithenbu sorunu nasıl çözeceğiz öneriniz var mı ünlem işareti gitmiyor ve kireç temizleme işlemi yapamıyoruz
hey, just a quick one. what coffee beans are recommended or your experience. I heard that dark roast is too oily and clogs the grinder. cheers man
I don’t know about that really. Will keep that in mind when buying beens though. Thanks
Hi, no mention of how often to clean the coffee filter?
Oh. It actually depends on your usage. But twice a month has been enough for me
Amazing video ! Thanks mate 🎉
Thanks, Claudiu!
Hello! My De'Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM 290.61.B got stuck between step 2 and 3. from the place through which the boiled water flows, a click was heard for an hour as if it was trying to get the water out but something wouldn't let it. the descale button was flashing but still in stage 2. I pressed it and the story of the water not flowing started again. now fleshing hot water buttons, triangle and water holder (although all the accessories are correctly inserted). What can I do?
Hi! Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m sorry but I don’t have experience troubleshooting this kind of problem. You might have to call customer service for it. The only thing I can think of is maybe restore it to factory settings? Hope this helps. Let me know what happens!
How often you descaling the machine? Only when the light comes up?
Yeah. Only when the light comes up
Thanks for the video. Is there a way to adjust the amount of milk foam?
I don’t think so, Umut. That would be a good function though
Do you remove the round metal disc when cleaning the infuser?
No, I don’t. Haven’t really tried removing the metal discs before.
When I press the descale button, I get a “hazard symbol” that blinks and no action is taken by the machine. Any advice?
@@mikelowry9435 was the descale icon lighting up when you pressed the descale button?
Do you have to have the water filter? Also, I’ve been noticing mold in the pulp basin when throwing it away. Thoughts?
If you’re asking “will it make coffee even without the water filter?” Then no, you don’t have to have it. But I strongly recommend having it on. Hope this helps
And oh. Regarding the mold in the pulp, that’s very normal for me. I noticed that some beans don’t develop mold though, particularly the expensive ones. 😂
What happened in 4:04? How infuser changed position in the machine?
Ahh. When I shot the part when I pulled out the water tank, the machine wasn’t turned off properly. So I had to do it again. You just need to make sure it’s turned off and unplugged.
Any reason why it won't descale, descale light is on but when I press descale button for 5 seconds it beeps but then when I press it to start it just resets and machine goes.off
Oh. I’m not sure why that is, sorry. You might need to contact customer service for this.
Is it necessary to do another cleaning process despite the descaling? Can you use those cleaning tabs as it can be used for other Coffee machines?
I think so. The reason for descaling is only to remove mineral buildup in the ‘pipes’ of your machine. As to your second question, do mean “can you use the descaler fluid in other machines?” If so, I’m not sure. The manual says you should only use the descaler provided by delonghi. Hope this helps.
The first filter comes with the machine? Mine didn’t have any 😬 i live in norway and water quality is super good here though, basically no scale in water boiler or washed dishes and stuff 🧐
Yeah. There was a water filter that came with the machine
Which better, Delonghi magnifica Evo or Philips 5400?
I dunno, mate. I only have the Magnifica Evo. 😅
Thanks for the video. Great info. How often do you have to descale? Once a month?
Greta video!
I have one question though
How do I know when I need a descaler? I use tap water that is "rinsed" (?) so I don't know if my water has scale in it (it should not have it).
So I don't know if that step is necessary for me?
Does the machine show when I need to descale it?
The machine will tell you if you need to descale it, as shown in the video. So, you always need to have a descaler on hand.
@@gabeslifestuff Oh I think I didn't catch that when I was watching it. You must mean the symbol at 1:27
Yes. that symbol. :)
