The Magnifica Start ECAM220.22.GB is De'Longhi's entry-level bean-to-cup machine: 24 cm wide, 44 cm deep and 35 cm tall, weighing 8.8 kg per the manual (which notes the weight varies across the ECAM220 family). Power supply is stated as 220-240 V, with no single value given, and the machine draws 1450 W. The bean hopper holds up to 250 g, and the integrated grinder ships factory-calibrated.
The brewing unit sits behind a door on the right side and cannot be pulled out while the machine is on: you switch it off, open the door, press two coloured release buttons and slide it out for cleaning, which is done with water only, no detergent and no dishwasher. For decaf, a dedicated funnel accepts pre-ground coffee, usable for one cup at a time.
The milk system is a removable manual cappuccino maker: it dips into a jug of milk and the steam button froths it. The manual covers several variants of the same family with different drink counts depending on the specific model, so the one-touch recipe count is not a fixed figure for this particular SKU.
