UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., U.S. — De’Longhi, a global leader in small kitchen appliances, announces its 2018 introductions for the specialty coffee category. The new products will debut at the 2018 International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago, Illinois from March 10-13, 2018.
The demand by consumers for premium coffee options is growing and espresso-based beverage consumption has doubled in the past five years and continues to expand category awareness as consumers try new beverages*.
De’Longhi is leaning into its coffee heritage with new and exciting products to meet this growing demand. The 2018 product lineup includes the newly designed Dinamica Fully Automatic Coffee Machine.
Dinamica
The Dinamica has a new automatic touch-sensitive interface that is intuitive with backlit touch buttons and icons. With one touch, you can brew multiple hot beverages — delicious espresso, long espresso and drip style coffee, as well as an iced coffee option.
Other new product offerings include the De’Longhi Dual Master Brewer, a pour over coffee maker featuring the prestigious Scaa Gold Cup certified drip coffee. This is the first introduction for the brand into the popular pour over coffee method.
De’Longhi also expands its Nespresso offerings with the new De’Longhi Lattissima One Single-Serve Cappuccino and Latte Nespresso Machine with a patented no waste frothing system and is available in a variety of finishes.
De’Longhi will also introduce new color options and a new drink recipe, the Creamy Latte, to its popular De’Longhi Lattissima Touch Cappuccino and Latte Nespresso Machine. The new Creamy Latte is designed to replicate what you would find in most coffee houses with a rich, creamy taste.
De’Longhi’s beautiful Italian-designed specialty coffee machines deliver a barista-quality experience in every cup, with innovation driven by the brand’s emphasis on simplicity, authenticity and craftsmanship. Ideal for novices, experts and everything in between, the brand’s diverse lineup of machines, which range from automatic, manual, pour over and drip, offer something for everyone and every taste.
LatteCrema System
On the fully automatic machines, De’Longhi also offers a best in class, patented LatteCrema System™ that lets you design the ultimate cappuccino or latte with just one touch, with dense, rich, long-lasting foam in every cup.
It includes an integrated milk carafe with an auto-clean function that produces steamed milk for lattes and frothed milk for a cappuccino and Italian macchiato. The milk carafe is detachable, allowing it to be placed in the refrigerator between uses, so no milk is wasted.
