I have to say that the Prima Donna ESAM 6600 from De’Longhi comes pretty close to looking like a coffee making thoroughbred.
This amazing machine can memorise your favourite cappuccino, cafe’ latte’ or latte’ macchiato ensuring a perfect Italian coffee every time.
The thoroughbred description comes from the stylish brushed stainless steel finish. This uber sleek design wouldn’t look out of place in any kitchen.
I guess the real selling point of this luxury coffee machine is the ability to personalise. Whether you want your coffee hot, frothy, tall, short, mild etc etc this machine can cater for it.
The manufacturers say:-
“Designed for consumers with uncompromised taste, PrimaDonna utilises its bean-to-cup technology to produce superb fresh espressos, cappuccinos and lattes at the touch of a button. For the ultimate authentic Italian cappuccino and latte, PrimaDonna uses fresh milk in a revolutionary auto-cleaning milk carafe that can be conveniently stored in the fridge when not in use.
And, best of all with the PrimaDonna you won’t even have to worry about cleaning up! Just press the cleaning button and the machine will perform an automatic washing cycle, allowing you more time to linger over the perfectly produced cup of coffee.”
De’Longhi retail this product for around $2,000 (£1,000).
