If you’re considering adding a coffee machine to your kitchen or upgrading an old one, you have no shortage of options. Still, if all you want is an easy way to get a cafe-quality caffeine fix, then only a fully automatic coffee machine will do the trick – and now you can save 50% on a De’Longhi model that’s among the best coffee machines we’ve ever tested.
The De’Longhi Eletta Explore truly is a do-it-all machine, capable of making hot and cold coffee-based drinks, including those with milk, with just the press of a few buttons – and it’s available now for AU$999 (was AU$1,999) on Amazon for a limited time.
The De’Longhi Eletta Explore may be a few years old now, but it’s still more than capable of holding its own against Australia’s best coffee machines. It’s simply packed with features, including Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to control the machine from your phone. This includes making drinks, but you’ll need to make sure there’s a cup under the spout before you do so!
As we said in our De’Longhi Eletta Explore review, “The Eletta Explore made a delicious, well-balanced espresso with well-formed crema and plenty of body.” We were also impressed with the foam created using the LatteCrema system, whether making hot or cold drinks. One thing to note, however, is that separate milk carafes are required for hot and cold drinks, so you’ll need to swap them manually if you’re making a variety of drinks.
Ultimately, whatever your coffee order, the De’Longhi Eletta Explore will be able to prepare it. And now it’s half price, he’ll get his money back and more in no time.
More De’Longhi discounts
If you’d rather spend less on a fully automatic coffee machine, Amazon has also discounted the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo by 40%, now down to AU$599. This is an older machine and quite large, but it still performs very well and can make wonderful espresso. There’s no touchscreen and it’s not capable of making as many coffee drinks as the Eletta Explore, but if you prefer a simple cappuccino, flat white or long black, it’s ideal. You can read our full review of the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo for more information.
Finally, for a simpler espresso machine, there is the Stilosa. Now just AU$116 (was AU$149), this simple manual espresso machine with a steam wand is a good option if you’re not interested in features like cold brew and automatic milk frothing.
