From espresso to cold brew: portafilter machine and fully automatic machine from De'Longhi

Translation: machine translated
We have two new models from De'Longhi in our range. You can even use them to prepare cold drinks.
With these two machines, De'Longhi says it wants to take the coffee experience at home to a "new level"
"La Specialista Touch" for all home baristas
This machine is a semi-automatic portafilter. This means you first have to pour the ground coffee from the integrated grinder into the sieve. You then use the tamper supplied to compact the grounds. The 3.5-inch touch display guides you through the entire process.
The manufacturer's "Bean Adapt Technology" is designed to help you get the best flavour out of the coffee beans used. It adapts the grind, dosage and brewing temperature to the type of bean. To do this, you must first enter the type of bean and the selected sieve size on the screen.
Milk foam also from plant-based alternatives
The machine has a steam lance to produce milk foam. You fill the jug provided with cow's, soya, almond or oat milk and decide on the temperature and texture of the froth. A little tip: the colder the milk, the better the result. For plant-based alternatives, I personally recommend the products labelled 'Barista'. They make the foam easier and last longer.
An additional special feature of the machine is the "Cold Extraction Technology", with which you can also prepare cold brew. The "cold coffee" speciality should be ready after five minutes.
The model measures 319 × 367 × 400 mm and delivers a pump pressure of 15 bar. The removable water tank holds 1.7 litres. Cups or glasses with a maximum height of 12 centimetres fit under the sieve.
From our range, these glasses for latte macchiato should fit:
"PrimaDonna Aromatic" takes care of everything automatically
This fully automatic coffee machine can prepare 22 hot beverages. According to De'Longhi, this is the largest variety in its own range
This model is also equipped with "Cold Extraction Technology" and can prepare cold drinks. There is also an integrated tea function that adjusts the brewing temperature to the selected type of tea.
The "Auto Bean Adapt Technology" is also included. According to the manufacturer, the machine offers 30 hot and cold coffee specialities: from classic espresso and Americano to cold brew and many milk drinks. The fully automatic machine also produces milk foam from plant-based alternatives to cow's milk. The machine can save the settings for up to four people if required.
The water tank of the 262 × 463 × 407 mm machine holds up to 2.2 litres. Cups and glasses between 90 and 140 millimetres fit under the height-adjustable coffee spout.
