Prefecta ESAM 5500.S

Product details

Thanks to the integrated grinding technology, the beans are always freshly ground. The grind can be adjusted according to taste. The conical steel grinder is calibrated with 100% accuracy.
De'Longhi's tubeless system reduces the amount of remaining coffee powder in the grinder to a minimum, so only freshly ground coffee is used when brewing your espresso.

Two independent heating systems for perfect temperature control: a thermoblock for preparing coffee and a heating system for preparing milk - both working simultaneously. To ensure maximum hygiene, the carafe is equipped with an integrated cleaning function: After beverage preparation, all parts that come into contact with milk are cleaned with hot water and steam.

Rank 3 out of 10ekitchen.deWer macht den besten Kaffee? Kaffeevollautomaten im TestReleaseNovember 2016

Zum Aufheizen braucht der ESAM 5500 von De`Longhi im Vergleich zu seinen Konkurrenten relativ lange und ist etwas laut während er die Kaffeebohnen mahlt. Dafür hat er ein Reinigungsprogramm für das Milchsystem und als einziger Kandidat eine Vorwärmfläche.

Die ESAM 5500 M Perfecta von De' Longhi bietet mit der anschließbaren Milchkaraffe die Möglichkeit, wunderbar dichten Milchschaum zu bekommen. Die Bedienung ist einfach, obwohl Einstellungen mit dem Drehknopf etwas Fingerspitzengefühl brauchen, damit Optionen nicht versehentlich übersprungen werden.
