Overview
De'Longhi built this 15-bar semi-automatic espresso machine around a manual milk frother and adjustable temperature control, a compact countertop unit for espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos at home.
The 15-bar pump is the headline spec, but the more useful detail for daily use is the three-in-one filter holder, which swaps between a single shot, a double shot, and an ESE pod without buying separate parts. Frothing is manual rather than automatic, so texture depends on how you work the wand instead of a one-touch setting. Its footprint is built for a countertop rather than a built-in installation.
- 15-bar pump pressure
- Manual milk frother wand
- Three-in-one filter holder
- Compact countertop design
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants to learn manual espresso and frothing technique on a small countertop machine rather than pay for a fully automatic bean-to-cup unit. Less suited to buyers who want one-touch drinks with no learning curve.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Filter holder covers single shot, double shot, and pods
- Adjustable pressure controls for taste
- Compact footprint for small kitchens
- Removable water tank and drip tray for easy cleanup
- Frothing is manual, not automatic
- No reviews on file to confirm reliability over time
Performance notes
Pressure comes from a 15-bar pump with adjustable controls for personal taste, and the Advanced Cappuccino System mixes steam and milk by hand rather than through an automatic wand, so froth texture depends on technique. The removable, see-through water tank is meant to make refilling and gauging water level straightforward.
