De’Longhi Launches the Eletta Ultra: A Quiet, Ultra‑Versatile Coffee Machine With 50 Recipes Built In

Posted on by

De’Longhi has expanded its premium coffee machine lineup with the launch of the Eletta Ultra, unveiled in early March. Designed for coffee lovers who want café‑level variety at home, this new model stands out with an impressive 50 integrated coffee recipes—from classic espresso to cold brew specialities.

Cold Extraction in Just 5 Minutes

One of the Eletta Ultra’s headline features is its cold extraction technology, allowing users to prepare espresso, filter coffee, or cold brew in as little as five minutes. This makes it one of the fastest machines in its category for cold‑style drinks, a trend that continues to grow among home baristas.

Up to 65% Quieter Than Previous Models

De’Longhi has also focused on noise reduction. Thanks to its proprietary Silent Technology, the Eletta Ultra operates up to 65% quieter than the brand’s other automatic machines. For households where early‑morning brewing usually wakes everyone up, this is a meaningful upgrade.

Smart Controls and Customisation

The machine is equipped with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, offering intuitive control over recipes and settings. An LED indicator on the LatteCrema carafe provides clear visual feedback during milk preparation.

For coffee customisation, De’Longhi includes its Bean Adapt Technology, allowing users to fine‑tune extraction with:

– 5 aroma strengths 
– 3 temperature levels 
– 4 grind sizes 

The Eletta Ultra can also store up to six different bean profiles, ideal for households where everyone prefers a different roast.

Wi‑Fi Connectivity and App Integration

With built‑in Wi‑Fi, the machine connects to the My Coffee Lounge app, enabling:

– Remote brewing 
– Personalised drink adjustments 
– Coffee consumption statistics 

This digital layer adds convenience and helps users track their habits—useful for both enthusiasts and those trying to cut down on caffeine.

Electrolux Professional Group to streamline its operations

Posted on by

To strengthen future profitability and sharpen its competitive edge, Electrolux Professional Group is launching a series of cost-saving initiatives projected to deliver annual run-rate savings of approximately SEK 175 million by 2027, with SEK 80 million expected as early as 2026.

These measures will involve a one-time cost of around SEK 235 million, which will be reported as items affecting comparability in Q3 2025. The majority of the cash flow impact is anticipated in 2026.

Key Actions: Streamlining and Strategic Relocations

The cost-saving program will include operational streamlining across multiple countries and functions, alongside a strategic competence shift aimed at accelerating business development. Pending consultation with employee representative bodies, the following changes are under evaluation:

– Coffee Production: Relocation from Carros to Aubusson, France, impacting approximately 40 employees.
– Cooking Production: Relocation from Sursee, Switzerland, to other facilities—primarily Pordenone, Italy—affecting around 50 employees.

In total, around 350 employees may be impacted. However, the net reduction is expected to be closer to 200 roles, as new positions will be created to support the competence shift. Notably, about one-third of the SEK 235 million investment will fund this strategic shift, which, while not directly reducing costs, is designed to accelerate innovation and growth
