Flat white, skinny cappuccino or a soya latte are typical orders uttered by millions of Brits in coffee shops every day, but coffee lovers can now create the ultimate personalised coffee from the comfort of their own sofa – thanks to the world’s first fully integrated smart connected bean to cup coffee machine.
The stunning new state-of-the-art PrimaDonna Elite from De’Longhi allows you to create, personalise and deliver your perfect coffee straight from a Bluetooth enabled app on your mobile device, wherever you are in the home. What’s more, with British tastes more elaborate than ever before, it can create 100s of different varieties of coffee based drinks all from one machine.
In fact, recent research reveals 1 in 3 (31%) of Brits admit that they would rather skip a coffee than have a bad cup, 14% say they would look down on friends or family if they served instant coffee and one in seven people (14%) have now tried more than 10 types of coffee bean to find their perfect brew.
Operated by the Smart Coffee app from any Apple or Android smartphone or its intuitive touchscreen display, the Prima Donna Elite provides the option to personalise any drink to match personal taste, set-up personal profiles by memorising ideal aroma, temperature and quantity of coffee and milk for each drink and even create new recipes.
Neal Jones, De’Longhi UK and Ireland Country Manager, said: “Coffee has grown from a functional routine to a pleasurable pastime where a one size fits all drink is no longer acceptable – each coffee lover has their own unique interpretation of the perfect brew. The key reason for this is the increasing choice of good quality coffee beans and equipment available, combined with a natural inkling to learn about and experiment with coffee styles – just as selecting fine wine requires knowledge and experience, so too does blending and creating coffee.”
“Due to consumer demand for barista-quality personalisation at home, De’Longhi has created the PrimaDonna Elite, the world’s first bean to cup machine with smart, connected technology with user profiling to give consumers the ultimate drink personalisation, in the comfort of their own home.”
With an increasingly vast array of milk preferences from latte to macchiato, the exclusive LatteCrema System ensures dense and creamy milk froth with a silky smooth texture for any coffee based milk drinks. The LatteCrema System always delivers best in-cup result with the perfect density, creaminess and temperature. What’s more, the Lattecrema works best using cold milk so the new thermal carafe is perfect to maintain milk at the correct temperature.
Priced at £1499.99 the De’Longhi PrimaDonna Elite is available to buy from Harrods and John Lewis from this Friday.
