De'Longhi Magnifica Plus ECAM32070SB vs De'Longhi Eletta Explore ECAM45086S

Both are De'Longhi bean-to-cup machines with a built-in grinder and automatic milk frothing, and both are well liked by owners. The Eletta Explore is the more capable machine: it adds cold brew and cold espresso in under three minutes, a LatteCrema Cool system, 50+ recipes and a travel mug setting for cups up to 16oz. The Magnifica Plus is the simpler, more compact choice with 18 recipes, 4 user profiles and a 5.19-inch max cup height, so it suits people who mostly drink hot espresso and milk drinks and want a smaller footprint. Step up to the Eletta Explore if cold coffee or tall travel mugs matter to you.

• Choose the Magnifica Plus if you want a compact hot-drink machine with 18 one-touch recipes, 4 user profiles and a straightforward touchscreen, and you rarely make cold coffee.
• Choose the Eletta Explore if you drink cold brew or iced espresso, use a tall travel mug, or want the widest recipe range and De'Longhi's Bean Adapt tuning.
