# Magnifica Evo vs Plus: Which Fits Your Saudi Coffee Routine? > Compare DeLonghi ECAM290.81.TB and ECAM322.70.SB on Amazon.sa by milk controls, touch display, user profiles, and the reason to upgrade. Canonical: https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/guides/delonghi-magnifica-evo-vs-plus/ Last updated: 2026-10-06 **Verdict:** Choose Magnifica Evo ECAM290.81.TB for direct coffee-and-milk controls at a lower price. Choose Magnifica Plus ECAM322.70.SB when four user profiles and a 3.5-inch touchscreen will make shared drink settings easier to manage. Both still need routine milk-system care. --- **Choose Magnifica Evo if you want a familiar coffee-and-milk routine at the lower price. Choose Magnifica Plus if several people will use its saved profiles and touchscreen settings.** The upgrade is easier to justify through those daily controls than through a headline drink count or an expectation of automatically better coffee. ## Begin with the drinks you already make Both machines are bean-to-cup models: an integrated grinder prepares beans inside the machine. The Evo offer includes one-touch coffee and milk preparation and a soft-touch control panel. That suits a household that tends to repeat a few familiar drinks and wants to select them directly. If your main job is making a pot to share at breakfast, a drip machine may suit that routine better. The [drip-versus-espresso guide](/en-sa/blog/drip-coffee-maker-vs-espresso-machine/) addresses that choice before you commit to either of these machines. An existing coffee maker that already handles your preferred drinks is also a reasonable reason to postpone an upgrade. Think through a normal morning rather than counting every possible recipe. Write down which drinks each person makes, whether milk is involved, and which settings people change between cups. This small list tells you whether separate profiles solve a recurring inconvenience or whether direct selection is enough. ## What the Plus screen and profiles change For **ECAM322.70.SB**, DeLonghi specifies a **3.5-inch color touchscreen and four user profiles**. The screen provides a place to select drinks and adjust preferences, while profiles keep different users' choices separate. This matters most when one person regularly changes settings that someone else then changes back. Four profiles are four places to save preferences, not a measure of brewing speed or the number of drinks you can serve at once. A household with one regular user may get less value from that feature than one with several people making different drinks throughout the day. The practical question is how often saved settings will remove a task you currently repeat. The Plus also offers three milk-foam settings through LatteCrema Hot, DeLonghi's automatic hot-milk system. That adds a choice of texture for milk drinks. It does not mean the higher-priced machine will make every coffee taste better to every person, or that beans and the settings you choose stop mattering. ## Keep the model suffix ahead of the recipe headline DeLonghi's [exact ECAM322.70.SB product page](https://www.delonghi.com/en-gb/p/magnifica-plus-magnifica-plus-automatic-coffee-maker-ecam322.70.sb/ECAM322.70.SB.html?pid=0132250033) specifies **18 drinks**. The Amazon.sa title checked on September 28 says “24+,” while its body also says 18. This comparison uses the manufacturer's exact-model figure. If one particular recipe is essential, ask for confirmation that it appears on the machine being supplied rather than selecting by the larger headline number. The Evo offer is **ECAM290.81.TB**. Its direct drink and milk controls are the basis for the recommendation here; we do not assign it a recipe count or a complete menu from another regional revision. Keep that suffix on your order confirmation and check the supplied menu against the drinks that matter to you. An overseas manufacturer page can help establish the manufacturer's specifications for a precise model, but its plug, warranty, price, or service terms do not automatically apply to a Saudi purchase. The local purchase is the Amazon.sa offer in the product card. ## Decide whether the controls earn the extra cost In September 2026, Amazon.sa listed the Evo at about SAR 2,500. At the same check, the Plus was about SAR 4,000. Both checked offers named Amazon.sa as the seller. These are item-price observations before optional protection or conditional payment promotions, not permanent price bands. The extra cost is easier to justify if saved preferences, a touchscreen, and adjustable milk foam will be used regularly. If everyone wants the same few drinks, the Evo's lower price may leave more room in the budget for beans and routine care without giving up the daily coffee-and-milk workflow you came for. Neither machine is declared the overall Saudi coffee-machine winner here. The [wider Saudi coffee selection](/en-sa/best/best-coffee-machine/) includes other brewing types and the Magnifica Start. Those alternatives let you step back from this two-model choice without assuming the next model up is necessary. ## Plan counter access and milk care Before choosing a permanent spot, check the supplied model dimensions and leave practical access for filling beans and water, removing grounds, using the milk carafe, and following the cleaning instructions. A countertop footprint alone does not establish that you can service the machine under a low cupboard. Measure with your own cups and the space you will actually use. Automatic milk rinsing is helpful between drinks, but it does not replace the manual's full carafe-cleaning routine. Follow the instructions supplied with the precise machine for removable parts, cleaning products, and descaling. The [coffee-machine maintenance guide](/en-sa/blog/how-to-maintain-a-coffee-machine/) covers the broader care decision, while [planning a home coffee corner](/en-sa/blog/home-coffee-corner-setup/) helps keep supplies and daily access together. The [ECAM290.81.TB manual](https://shop.delonghi.com.tr/Data/EditorFiles/instructions/42000201.pdf) (Turkish-language PDF) separates milk-system cleaning after use from dismantling and cleaning the carafe in section 12. Before buying, open that section and identify the parts you will remove and where you will wash and dry them. Do not transfer the Evo carafe procedure to the Plus solely because the family names are similar; use the manual for the model you choose. For each user, note the drink, coffee quantity, and milk preference. Occasional differences may be easy to manage with the Evo panel; resetting preferences every morning makes the Plus profiles more useful. Allow a place for the carafe while it is being cleaned as well as space for the machine itself. ## Sources and research basis We compared the two exact Amazon.sa offers on September 28, 2026 and checked DeLonghi's model specifications. Manufacturer documentation was checked again on October 6, 2026; that specification check does not update the September offer prices. Confirm the supplied electrical version, included accessories, and Saudi service arrangements with the seller before ordering; optional checkout protection is separate from the machine's own terms. ## Where to buy - [De'Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM290.81.TB](https://www.amazon.sa/dp/B0BXBH3W47/ref=nosim?tag=mizaanhomeksa-21&ascsubtag=delonghi-magnifica-evo-vs-plus_mirror) - [De'Longhi Magnifica Plus ECAM322.70.SB](https://www.amazon.sa/dp/B0CTR2XW68/ref=nosim?tag=mizaanhomeksa-21&ascsubtag=delonghi-magnifica-evo-vs-plus_mirror) ## Continue reading - [The Best Coffee Machine in Saudi Arabia (2026)](https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/best/best-coffee-machine/) - [Coffee machine prices in Saudi Arabia (2026): by type and tier](https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/prices/coffee-machine-prices/) - [How to choose a coffee machine in Saudi Arabia (2026)](https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/guides/how-to-choose-a-coffee-machine/) - [Nespresso Essenza Mini vs Inissia D40 in Saudi Arabia](https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/compare/essenza-mini-vs-inissia/) - [Coffee machines](https://mizaanhome.com/en-sa/coffee-machines/) --- > منهجية ميزان هوم: نعتمد على المواصفات الرسمية والأسعار المحلية المؤرخة، مع ملخصات لآراء المشترين حيث يعرضها الدليل، ويذكر كل دليل الأساس الذي بُني عليه، ولا نختبر المنتجات بأنفسنا (بلا ادعاء تجربة شخصية، وبلا تقييمات Review/AggregateRating من تأليفنا). الأسعار تقريبية ومأخوذة من آخر فحص لكل منتج، وقد يحتوي الدليل على روابط تابعة. > > Mizaan Home method: we rely on official specifications and dated local prices, with buyer-review summaries where the guide provides them.
