De’Longhi. Based in Treviso, Italy, we grew up appreciating the taste and

aroma of a good cup of coffee.

The De’Longhi “bean to cup” machine delivers freshly brewed espresso in just

one touch. Enjoy your favorite cappuccino, lattes or your favorite beverage in

your home. Design your own espresso experience, and share it with the people

you care for most.

Discover the unique story of design, passion and technology which made

De’Longhi the world leader in the creation of espresso machines.

1. Use freshly roasted espresso beans (avoid caramelized beans).

2. Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry container.

Vacuum sealed if possible.

3. Pre-heat your espresso and cappuccino cups using the cup warmer

storage on the top of the machine.

4. Set the water temperature according to your needs.

5. For an extra creamy espresso lower the spouts to bring them as close

to the cup/cups as possible.
