With the De'Longhi Magnifica Duo, I prepare hot and cold milk specialties thanks to the LatteCrema Hot & Cool Technology. However, you cannot keep your cups warm on the machine.
LatteCrema Hot & Cool Technology
For me, the LatteCrema Hot & Cool Technology is the strongest point of this machine. I use 2 milk jugs: one for hot and one for cold milk foam. The foam is creamy and compact. This allows me to make a cappuccino in the morning and an iced latte on a hot day. The machine also froths plant-based drinks, such as oat and almond milk.
Clear display
The color display is easy to read. The colored icons and illuminated navigation buttons show me the way immediately. As a result, I browse through the drinks menu quickly. I don't have to search for the right setting and adjust settings without any hassle.
Hot and cold specialties
I choose from many different drinks, from espresso and cappuccino to iced coffee and Cold Brew. I find that variety to be a lot for this machine. Normally, a cold brew takes a very long time to brew. Here, it is ready within a few minutes. This way, I can easily switch between a strong espresso and a refreshing cold coffee.
Easily save recipes
For each drink, I set the strength, quantity, and temperature to my taste. I save these preferences in user profiles. This is handy in a household with multiple coffee drinkers. Everyone starts their own recipe with the push of a button.
Easy maintenance
Maintenance takes very little time. The machine automatically rinses the milk jug clean with steam and hot water after every use. I remove the brewing unit and rinse it under the tap. The drip tray grid goes in the dishwasher. This ensures the machine is quickly ready for the next cup.
