In a move timed perfectly with National Espresso Day, De’Longhi North America has unveiled three cutting-edge espresso machines: the Magnifica Plus, La Specialista Opera with Cold Brew, and Dedica Maestro. These new models are designed to meet rising consumer demands for personalisation, cold brew convenience, and enhanced manual brewing control.

Eliza Woolston Sheffield, President of De’Longhi North America, explained that the new launches address specific unmet needs in the coffee market. She noted that the company’s mission is to make crafting the perfect cup of coffee accessible to everyone, whether they prefer simplicity or a hands-on approach.

With a heritage rooted in Italian craftsmanship, De’Longhi has spent over a century innovating in the coffee and kitchen appliance sector. Currently offering products in 123 countries, the company remains committed to blending style and convenience to elevate daily routines.

Meeting the demand for personalisation

The Magnifica Plus builds on De’Longhi’s successful Magnifica line, offering expanded customisation with 18 pre-set recipes and four drink sizes. The machine’s advanced LatteCrema™ milk frothing system allows users to tailor their beverages, from creamy lattes to frothy cappuccinos. This model appeals to coffee enthusiasts seeking convenience without compromising variety.

Catering to the cold brew craze

Cold brew has become a must-have for modern coffee drinkers, and De’Longhi’s La Specialista Opera with Cold Brew embraces this trend. It introduces cold extraction technology capable of producing a rich, smooth cold brew in under three minutes. In addition to this feature, the machine offers the flexibility to prepare traditional espresso-based drinks like lattes, americanos, and more. Sheffield stated that the addition of cold brew technology makes the machine versatile enough to satisfy diverse preferences.

Empowering home baristas

For those passionate about mastering the art of espresso, the Dedica Maestro delivers unparalleled control. Its sleek design incorporates a commercial-grade steam wand, 15-bar pressure, and three brewing temperatures, providing home baristas with the tools to perfect their craft. Sheffield emphasised that this machine is tailored to individuals who enjoy experimenting with every aspect of the coffee-making process.

Availability and pricing

All three machines are now available across the United States and Canada through DeLonghi.com, Amazon, and major retailers. Prices for the Magnifica Plus start at $1,199.95 in the U.S., with the Dedica Maestro at the same price point. The La Specialista Opera with Cold Brew is available at $899.95. Canadian pricing reflects regional adjustments, with slight increases for all models.

Sheffield reiterated De’Longhi’s dedication to meeting the needs of all coffee lovers, offering solutions for those who want their morning brew at the push of a button or enjoy a more hands-on brewing experience.
