Since the family-owned days of the early 20th century, De’Longhi has grown into a billion-dollar company that owns 30 international subsidiaries and sells its products in over 75 countries across the globe.
Today, De’Longi’s reputation is one of style, reliability and innovation. In 2007, the brand won the Red Dot award – an international product design and communication design prize – for its Esclusivo line of kitchen appliances. These qualities are still found it its range of coffee machines today.

De’Longhi Dinamica Ecam 350.35
£599
- Touch screen interface
- Big variety of coffee recipes
- Separate milk walk is a letdown
The Dinamica Ecam is a more competitively priced coffee machine from De’Longhi. However, there are some clear omissions in this range. The biggest letdown, for the price, is the separated milk wand – meaning if you want to make a latte or cappuccino, you’ll have to do so in two stages. That aside, the machine is solid. It has plenty of presets and customisable features and its 1.8-litre reservoir is more than ample. See also Nespresso Krups Prodigio review.
De’Longhi Caffè Corso ESAM
£259
- Silent grinder
- 15-bar pressure
- Auto-cleaning function
The Caffè Corso represents De’Lonhi’s budget bean-to-cup coffee machine – although it’s still not cheap compared to similar specced machines from rival manufacturers. There’s no touchscreen and the design is more basic than its pricier siblings. It’s still simple to operate and makes De’Longi quality coffee.
De’Longhi Lattissima Touch 550
£309
- 6 different modes
- Stylish modern design
- Auto-power off
The De’Longhi Lattissima Touch represents the brand’s most stylish and best value for money machine. The machine has both a water and milk reservoirs allowing you to make multiple drinks at the touch of a button. At £309 it’s competitively priced.
Best De’Longhi Espresso & Capsule coffee machines
De’Longhi Scultura ECZ 351
£219
- Double-floor cream filter Cappuccino system
- Cappucinno system
- Cup warmer
Arguably, the Scultura ECZ 352 is the most stylish coffee machine in the De’Longhi range. Looks aside, it’s a solid machine and it’s well priced. It’s a manual espresso machine with a separate milk wand for frothing milk. Those looking for a press and go coffee machine should look elsewhere. See also: The BEST capsule coffee machines of 2017.
De’Longhi Jovia EDG 250
£99
- Dolce Gusto System
- Capsule machine
- Energy saving function
The Jovia EDG 250 is De’Longhi’s budget coffee machine. Its design is completely different to the rest of the range as is its price tag. What you get with the Jovia EDG 250 is a cheap capsule coffee machine that makes coffee at the press the press of a button. It scores well from reviews sites, consistently winning between 4-5 stars out of 5.
