DeLonghi Espresso Coffee Machines – A Smart Choice

While there are numerous companies around the world who design and manufacture espresso coffee machines, DeLonghi is one of the oldest and best-known.

DeLonghi was founded more than one hundred years ago, as a simple craftsman’s workshop; it became a small company in the 1950s as a supplier to other manufacturers, launching its own brand name products in 1970. Quickly learning that innovation, quality and close attention to consumers’ demands would be the cornerstone of their success, DeLonghi has strengthened its share of the convenience appliances market, establishing its position as one of the world’s most-respected consumer brands; its corporate motto Living Innovation is easily recognized in its range of DeLonghi espresso coffee machines.

Espresso Comes Naturally To An Italian Company

Of course – to love espresso is to have a little Italian in your spirit. Espresso is actually an Italian word, shortened from ‘caffe espresso’; while it is often assumed that espresso is an adaptation of the Italian word for express, it is actually a derivative of the word ‘esprimere’, which means to express, or to press out. Espresso is generally understood to have originated in Italy in the early 1900s, when a coffee aficionado names Luigi Bezzera filed a patent for a coffee machine that forced boiling water and steam through coffee grinds.

Popular Models of DeLonghi Espresso Coffee Machines

As in each market for which the company designs products, DeLonghi has successfully captured the espresso experience – in a word, the taste. By rigorously designing and testing its products with close attention to that taste experience, and with the flexibility to adapt to the differing expectations of consumers around the world, DeLonghi espresso coffee machines have become a popular choice; the quality construction and attractive makes a positive statement sitting in your gourmet kitchen, your favourite café, or well-appointed office.

Tip: Be careful about the type of water you utilize when preparing your coffee. Sub par water will have a negative impact on the taste of the coffee.

DeLonghi espresso coffee machines range in features and capability, from a semi-automatic and simple to the super-sophisticated Magnifica line of super automatic espresso machines that expertly go from bean to cup at the touch of a button; typically, consumers can expect to pay under $200 for a simple DeLonghi, the integrated expert solutions may range over $2000.

While the DeLonghi Magnifica espresso coffee machine may seem a little extravagant to anyone but the most fanatical espresso fan, it is actually an excellent solution for those who appreciate a good espresso but do not necessarily have the passion to follow a precise prescription to make one successfully. Because, as anyone will confirm, it is only through strict adherence to careful preparation and brewing that you will result in an espresso masterpiece; relying on an intelligent, fully-automatic solution may be just what your taste buds ordered.
Do Your Own Test-Drive Comparisons

Tip: Only buy organic coffee. Coffee beans are very absorbent and tend to pick things up from the soil.

In Italy, good espresso brewing technique is a balance of the four factors, in Italian referred to as the ‘4 Ms’: the bean mix (miscela), the grinding process (macinazione), the espresso machine (macchina) and the person making the espresso (mano); as you can see, it is difficult to separate these factors if you are truly aiming at the best possible espresso.

Assuming you know how to choose and properly grind your beans, the next step is to select an espresso machine that will provide as much or as little automation you require. In addition to DeLonghi espresso coffee machines, your coffee machine retailer will also assist you in comparing different price and functionality of other popular and recognizable brands, including Krups, Saeco, Gaggia and Mr. Coffee espresso coffee machines.

Like any long-term relationships, take a few test-drives and make your choice on which evokes the most pleasurable and passionate feelings – the espresso coffee, that is. What else did you think?
