Description
Origin & Story
Born from the collaboration between Nespresso and De’Longhi, this machine represents the pinnacle of capsule coffee innovation. Designed for those who refuse to compromise on milk-based drinks, it combines a 19-bar high-pressure pump with an integrated milk frother that delivers silky microfoam every time. Whether you’re an espresso purist or a latte lover, the 9 backlit buttons put a world of recipes at your fingertips. It’s the ultimate upgrade for the Kenyan home barista who wants speed, simplicity, and stunning results.
Flavor Profile
While the machine itself doesn’t taste like coffee, it unlocks the full potential of Nespresso Original capsules. Expect:
- Espresso: Thick crema, well-balanced body, and a lingering finish.
- Cappuccino: Luxuriously frothy milk atop a bold espresso base.
- Latte Macchiato: Layers of warm milk, velvety foam, and intense coffee.
- Hot Foam: Pure steamed milk for your own creations.
Each drink is crafted with consistent temperature and pressure, preserving the distinct aroma notes of your chosen capsule – whether it’s a fruity Ethiopia, a chocolaty India, or a classic Roma. Pair it with our BARISTA CREATIONS Caramello for a sweet caramel latte, or try the bold ESPRESSO Volluto for a traditional espresso.
Brewing Guide
Getting the most from your machine is effortless:
- Fill the water tank (1 litre capacity) with fresh, cold water.
- Attach the milk container (500 ml) – rinse after each use.
- Insert any Nespresso Original capsule into the brew head.
- Press your chosen recipe button – espresso, lungo, cappuccino, latte macchiato, or even caffè latte.
- Adjust cup size using the variable stand to fit anything from espresso cups to tall glasses.
Pro tip: For the best foam, use fresh whole milk – the Rapid Cappuccino system works with any milk type, including oat and almond. For consistently pure water, consider the BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter.
