Was looking into how the Coffee and Long buttons differs on the DeLonghi Magnifica and figured I'd post this since it comes up alot in the owner threads. They're not just two volume settings but will produces different types of espresso shots overall despite having the same beans and grinder settings.
The Coffee button will produce medium brew time shots that are more strong than Long but weaker than espresso. There will be more crema on top with Coffee as well as a bold flavor for the brew. The Long button will produce a much milder coffee with less crema and a flavor that taste closer to drip coffee. People often compare this flavor to that of an Americano.
I'm curious as to how many of you uses the Long button. I basically never do. I just make two Coffee shots if I want a bigger mug of coffee.
