Common Questions
19 totalWhat is the maximum input power of the Magnifica Evo?
The maximum input power of the Magnifica Evo is 1450 W. (Page 2)
How do I perform an Encoder Reset on the Magnifica Evo?
To perform an Encoder Reset, first enter Test Mode as described, then press the Pre-Ground button. The Pre-Ground LED will remain steadily on while the reset is in progress and will turn off when complete. To validate the reset, you must then start the appliance normally and perform a manual rinse — the infuser must be clean and moving smoothly for the reset to be validated correctly. (Page 13)
How do I read the machine's usage statistics?
To access statistics, make sure the appliance is in ready-for-coffee mode, then hold the Settings and Pre-Ground buttons pressed for at least 5 seconds. You can then press specific buttons to view data such as number of coffee beverages, number of steam deliveries, number of descaling processes, litres of water used, and number of filters installed. To exit statistics mode, press the Settings button again or wait 120 seconds without operating the machine. (Page 14-15)
How does the machine display statistics values?
The machine displays statistics values through sequential flashing of indicator lights, with the Descale light representing the tens digit and the Grounds Container light representing the units digit. For example, a total of 24 coffee beverages would be shown as 4 flashes of the Descale light followed by 2 flashes of the Grounds Container light. (Page 15)
What is the correct temperature for coffee output on the Magnifica Evo?
The optimal indicative temperature measurement for coffee should be 83°C ± 3°C, measured at approximately 2–10mm from the coffee spout. To perform an accurate coffee temperature test, you should set the temperature to maximum, run 1-2 rinse cycles to warm up the hydraulic circuit, and wait until at least 20ml of coffee has been delivered before measuring. (Page 18)
What are the steps involved in espresso delivery?
During espresso delivery, the thermoblock activates first, followed by the grinder for a set timing based on coffee taste selection. The pump then activates briefly for pre-infusion before restarting for full coffee delivery, after which the infuser moves away from the mechanical valve, releases the coffee pod, and the mechanical valve discharges excess water and coffee to the expansion chamber and drip tray. (Page 7)

5.2. Load Test Mode
After having accessed the test mode as indicated on paragraph 5.1, press the first beverage icon from the left (STEAM button) to access the LOAD TEST MODE:The LED of each button linked to the activation of a component will illuminate steadily white. Hold the desired button pressed to activate the corresponding load, the LED of the button will flash slowly to indicate the activation of the load:
NOTICE: When the DOWN micro switch is reached by the infuser, the DESCALE LED will blink fast. NOTICE: When the UP micro switch is reached by the infuser, the SETTINGS LED will blink fast.

7.3. Coffee Temperature Test
Complains from end users about coffee temperature are quite frequent. They are mainly due to incorrect appliance adjustments or to an incorrect expectation by the customer. A coffee temperature measurement is required all the times any of these complaints are encountered. To perform the coffee temperature test, follow in sequence the below steps: Turn the appliance ON. Set the temperature to MAX level. Run 1-2 rinse cycles, to warm up the hydraulic circuit. Set the temperature to the maximum level. Select to prepare an X2 ESPRESSO COFFEE (2 cups recipe, refer to the user manual for more details). Start the coffee preparation. Wait until at least 20ml of coffee have been delivered into the cup. Measure the coffee flow temperature at about 2÷10mm from the coffee spout, as shown in the below picture:The optimal indicative temperature measurement for coffee should be 83°C±3°C.
