Description

Retro-styled aluminium-bodied machine with an insulated thermoblock, vibration pump and PID (80-110 C brew, adjustable steam temperature). The PID version adds volumetric dosing, programmable pre-infusion, a shot timer and an externally adjustable OPV.

De'Longhi's flagship Eletta Explore adds Cold Extraction Technology and an Over Ice function to the LatteCrema super-automatic formula. The 3.5-inch colour touchscreen and 19-recipe menu cover hot and cold specialty beverages, including cold brew espresso without ice.
