Is De’Longhi a good brand?

Is De’Longhi worth buying? You might be wondering that question after the brand recently went  viral for its Bennett Miller-directed cinematic shorts featuring Brad Pitt cruising through picturesque French countrysides in pursuit of the perfect beans to brew up a cup of frothy caffeinated goodness in a De’Longhi espresso machine. With Pitt as its brand ambassador, the Italian-based small appliance powerhouse has gained even more exposure to add to its century’s old reputation for home-brewing perfection.

But beyond the Hollywood star power and envy-inspiring ads, is De’Longhi a good brand? And is it the brand to invest in when you want to upgrade your morning coffee and say goodbye to expensive drive-thru brews for good? Here we’re going to dive into the details to find out for certain the verdict on the De’Longhi brand.

What is DeLonghi Known For?

The De’Longhi brand has been manufacturing appliances for over a hundred years, which is a great sign when you’re looking for a reputable brand with staying power. The family-owned business is estimated to be worth billions, but it first made its mark in the early part of the last century for portable space heaters and air conditioning units. From there it progressed to other offerings such as irons and gelato machines. But it wasn’t until the Italian brand expanded into espresso machines that they developed a passionate following. And today, that includes an expansion into drip coffee makers and cold brewing.

The DeLonghi Difference in Espresso Makers 

One of De’Longhi’s most famous product lines is their espresso machine collection, which are known for their meticulous brewing and high quality parts. A close look at the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Coffee and Espresso Machine reveals a user-friendly one-touch display that takes the precision and stress out of creating the perfect cup. If you crave the versatility of an experienced barista, De’Longhi brings that craftsmanship to the home with six one-touch functions for espresso, coffee, Americano, iced coffee, long and steam. There’s also a 13-setting built-in grinder, allowing you to use freshly ground beans without the work or mess of separate grinding. We especially appreciated the traditional milk frother which offers up a silky-smooth foam, whether you’re using cow’s milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based alternative. And we can’t overlook the auto-clean function along with the dishwasher-safe design.

The De'Longhi La Specialista Dual Heating System Espresso Machine adds further function with multiple professionally-designed features that seem as well suited for an Italian cafe as your home. These include a Sensor Grinding technology, which allows for precise and consistent grinding, which as any espresso expert knows is where the perfect cup starts. We found the  Smart Tamping Station especially helpful, even for the most novice espresso fan, because it allows you to achieve the perfect tamp without years of practice. It’s hard not to be impressed by advanced features like the Active Temperature Control, which provides optimal temperature stability for precise coffee extraction or the Dual Heating System, that allows you to brew espresso at the same time you are frothing the milk. These independent heating systems will surely be a game-changer for your morning coffee routine and we’d say they can compete with the best of the machines you’d find in the finest Italian coffee shops.
