Grinding

Feature

Burr Grinder with 13 Grind Settings

So What?

Conical burr grinders provide for consistent grinding, which is key to the proper extraction. Plus they’re metal so they’re durable and stand the test of time. And since all coffee beans are different and therefore require different grind settings, users can make fine adjustments to ensure their grind size is correct for their specific coffee beans.

Brewing

Feature

Thermoblock Heating System

So What?

Turn Magnifica Start on and it’s ready to brew espresso in just 40 seconds. A thermoblock is comprised of metal coils next to the water line, making it capable to quickly heat up water. Magnifica Start utilizes a Thermoblock heating system to ensure espresso & coffee is brewed quickly and at the right temperature. Milk is also frothed quickly and with the perfect texture & temperature.

Feature

Removable Brewing Unit

So What?

Unlike competitors, De’Longhi brewing units can be removed by the customer for easy monthly rinsing. Simply rinse the brewing unit under warm water, let it dry, and place it back in. No need for lubricant or grease. It’s that simple.

Feature

Coffee recipe for those who ask, “Can this make regular coffee?”

So What?

Most North Americans grew up with drip coffee in their kitchen. It’s what they’re used to drinking at home, and it’s what they know. To cater to all coffee preferences, the Coffee recipe is a longer extraction using the same amount of ground coffee. The result is a less intense drink that’s similar to traditional drip coffee.

Milk-Based Beverages

Feature

LatteCremaTM   System

So What?

De’Longhi’s proprietary LatteCrema System makes it easy to make lattes, cappuccinos, and more. An infrared sensor checks to make sure there’s enough milk in the carafe to make the drink. Cleaning is simple – just turn the knob to CLEAN and the machine will run water through to remove excess milk. No milk enters the machine, and there are no moving parts, plus they’re all dishwasher- safe.
