A welcome pause between holiday plans
Picture guests settling in after dinner while you pull espresso and steam milk for lattes. The semi-automatic machine gives you a role in making each drink, and its commercial-style steam wand produces consistent micro-foam for latte art. It’s a cozy hosting moment for anyone who enjoys the ritual as much as the cup.
Espresso, hot water, or a quick cold brew
The built-in conical burr grinder has eight settings, so you can adjust the grind as you make espresso. De’Longhi’s Cold Extraction Technology makes cold brew in under five minutes, giving you another option when a guest would rather skip a hot drink. The machine can also brew hot water.
A tidier coffee-making gift
The included barista kit, with a tamper and dosing funnel, helps simplify dosing and tamping while keeping preparation mess-free. That makes the machine a thoughtful holiday gift for someone ready to build a café-at-home routine, with useful tools included for getting started.
Do check the counter before bringing it home: at 25.8 pounds and about 18 inches wide, it is a substantial piece of kitchen gear that needs dedicated space.
