LatteGo milk system

Top your coffee off with a silky-smooth layer of milk froth. The LatteGo mixes milk and air at high speed in the round frothing chamber, then adds a splash-free, creamy layer of milk froth to your cup at just the right temperature.

Intuitive touch display

The irresistible taste and aroma of coffee from fresh beans is just one touch away. Our intuitive touch display allows you to easily select your favorite coffee.

My Coffee Choice

Adjust the strength and quantity of your beverage with the My Coffee Choice menu. Easily choose from three different settings to suit your preferences.

12-step grinder adjustment

Our durable ceramic grinders can be adjusted in 12 steps, so you can turn your beans into anything from ultra-fine powder to coarse grindings.

Perfect temperature and aroma

The Aroma Extract system intelligently strikes the optimum balance between brewing temperature and aroma extraction by keeping the water temperature between 90 and 98°C, while regulating the water flow rate, so you can enjoy delicious coffees.

100% ceramic grinders

Our grinders are 100% pure ceramic: extremely hard and precise, so you can enjoy fresh aromatic coffee, for at least 20.000 cups.

2 parts, no tubes milk system

Our 2 parts milk system has no tubes or hidden parts and can be cleaned in as little as 15 seconds under tap or in the dishwasher.

AquaClean filter

Our patented innovation, AquaClean water filter, ensures you make the most out of your fully automatic coffee machine. By changing the filter at machine request, you will not need to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups, while enjoing clear and purified water. Once AquaClean is installed in your coffee machine, the descaling notification alarm is automatically deactivated.

Removable brew group

The brew group is the heart of every fully automatic coffee machine, and should be cleaned regularly. The removable brew group allows you to clean it thoroughly just by rinsing it under the tap.

Preserve beans' aroma

The new Aroma seal protects your favorite coffee beans and makes sure they preserve their original aroma over time, while reducing the grinder noise.

Dishwasher safe parts

For your convenience, you can put LatteGo (or Classic Milk frother), drip tray and the coffee ground container in the dishwasher. This will save time and ensure a hygienic cleaning.
