DeLonghi bean-to-cup espresso machines
For people in a hurry who just want a good espresso, or espresso based variant, without playing baristas. If your office appreciates a good coffee, or you’ve come to realise the instant is insulting for your clients, a DeLonghi bean to cup espresso machine is the answer
If you are considering a DeLonghi bean to cup model that we are not showing on our website, please ask, as we can source all bean to cup models
We currently have one of these machines at home and are very impressed
Follow our blog for more tips & ideas as to how to get the best from these machines – its not difficult. Texturing milk is dead easy & you can get an espresso a lot better than many cafes if you follow some basic steps common to all espresso machines
As you can see, we think the ground is shifting in espresso technology. Capsule coffee has become big & will get a lot bigger. The machines are cheap and cheerful, and its bright and fun for the punters coming off instant
Above that bean to cup espresso machines give you a much better espresso experience, freshly grinding the beans and giving a consistent result. They’ve come a long way in the last decade, and my prediction is that they are going to advance by at least as much again in the next decade
Above that there is a plethora of pump machines which to be honest Londinium Espresso just can’t compete in, we’d get our throat cut, financially speaking
From day one in 2004 we’ve drawn our espresso with a lever, beginning with a La Pavoni domestic lever machine. Since then we’ve progressed through a number of lever machines that have given increasingly consistent results. The release of our own LONDINIUM spring lever espresso machines is the latest step in our journey.
We now see the beginning of a renaissance in lever espresso machines, not dissimilar to the resurgence in vinyl records in genuine hi-fi. It is in the niche of lever espresso machines that a small, focused business like Londinium Espresso can compete. The middle ground is not for us.
