If you’re seeking the full barista experience, you certainly don’t need to buy a large, expensive, professional appliance. With a compact-sized, domestic De’Longhi espresso machine, you’ll be able to control the entire brewing process and make café-style drinks in the comfort of your own home. These models are suited well for beginners too, so it won’t take long for you to learn how to use them even if you’re completely new to the world of coffee.
Using a De’Longhi espresso machine, whether you opt for the Dedica, Stilosa, or La Specialista, is designed to be user-friendly while catering to specific needs. The compact Dedica is ideal for beginners, allowing the use of either ground coffee or ESE pods and featuring simple controls for adjusting coffee strength and milk frothing. The Stilosa offers the ability to brew two espressos simultaneously and includes a more advanced manual frother for a wider variety of milk-based drinks, making it perfect for households or hosting. For enthusiasts seeking precision, the La Specialista provides an integrated sensor grinder and smart tamping station for optimal consistency, along with a dual heating system to streamline the transition from espresso extraction to milk frothing. Each model combines intuitive design with specific features to ensure every user can craft their perfect cup of coffee effortlessly.
Our range includes De’Longhi espresso machines in two different models: Dedica and Stilosa. All of these machines are easy to operate and offer high performance in a compact body. Each of them has some unique features too though.
There’s a reason why the Dedica models are amongst some of the most popular De’Longhi coffee machines. First of all, these machines are valued highly by brewing beginners who have just started learning about the art of coffee-making. With the help of a Dedica machine, you can easily brew an aromatic espresso or use a steam wand to froth some milk for your milk-based coffees. A De’Longhi Dedica espresso machine will also allow you to experiment by changing the amount of coffee or milk and adjusting the temperature of your water. To discover even more unexpected flavours, you can always try using coffees from different regions to see how the taste of your drink changes. By the way, these appliances are classified as ESE pod coffee machines, so you can use ESE pods instead of ground coffee for your drinks as well.
If you’re searching for an appliance that not only brews delicious coffee but also looks great in your kitchen, you’ll be happy to find out that De’Longhi Dedica espresso machines come in several different colours: choose from classic black, white, grey, or the more distinctive red or cream models.
Just like Dedica, the De’Longhi Stilosa EC230 and EC260 espresso machines won’t take up much space in your kitchen and will allow you to adjust brewing settings—however, unlike the Dedica model, they can brew two espressos at the same time, making these machines perfect for you if you enjoy having a cup of coffee in the company of a friend or loved one. De’Longhi EC260 also boasts a modern design: the combination of matte and glossy details is bound to look great in any space. By the way, this De’Longhi espresso coffee machine has a convenient portafilter with a non-slip handle too.
The De’Longhi La Specialista espresso machine is designed for coffee enthusiasts seeking both precision and convenience. Equipped with Sensor Grinding Technology, it ensures precise, consistent grinding and an optimal dose every time. The machine features a Smart Tamping Station that automatically delivers the right pressure, along with Active Temperature Control with three preset profiles to optimize extraction according to different bean types. For milk-based beverages, the Advanced Latte System lets users tailor the milk texture, from creamy cappuccinos to silky lattes, supported by a Dual Heating System that eliminates waiting between brewing and frothing. This model seamlessly blends manual controls with automated technology, making it ideal for those looking to enhance their home barista skills.
Descaling your De’Longhi espresso machine regularly is crucial to maintain its performance and prolong its lifespan, especially in areas with hard water. To start the descaling process, empty the water tank and then refill it with a mixture of fresh water and De’Longhi’s descaler solution. Reinsert the tank, then place a large container under the coffee and steam outputs to catch the discharged solution. Access the descaling program via the machine’s menu, which will run automatically and cycle through several phases to thoroughly clean the internal circuits. Once the cycle is complete, rinse the tank well, fill it with fresh water, and run a rinse cycle to flush out any remaining descaling solution.
Domestic espresso machines are constantly growing in popularity, and De’Longhi is becoming one of the first choices for aspiring baristas. Easy operation, compact size, high performance, adjustable settings and the opportunity to give latte art a try are some of the features that tend to catch the eye of many espresso coffee machine buyers. If these De’Longhi espresso machines sound impressive to you too, don’t hesitate to pick out your favourite model and start the journey of discovering new coffee flavours!
