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.

DE’ LONGHI: -2% TO 3.16 BILLION REVENUES IN 2022,

Excellent news from America (+11%) and Asia (+16%) but in Europe, where the group generates 60% of its turnover, sales fell by 11% in the fourth quarter and by 10% in the whole of 2022 .De’ Longhi closed 2022 with consolidated revenues of 3.16 million euros, a decrease of 2% compared to 2021. In particular, the bad performance in the fourth quarter (-4%) weighed heavily. At constant exchange rates, i.e. without considering the effect of the euro falling against the dollar and other currencies, 2022 turnover would be 6% lower than that of 2021. De’Longhi, like the whole sector, had a good first semester and then suffered from the weakening of the demand for goods in the European area which represents around 60% of sales. In Europe De’Longhi sold 10% less than in 2021.

All non-European markets performed much better, in particular America (+10.8% to 624 million), the Middle East, India and Africa (+7.9% to 197 million) and the rest of Asia (+15.9% to 464 millions).

“ The fourth quarter performance ”, said the Chief Executive Officer Fabio De’Longhi , “ is a prelude to a possible trend in the margins of the year just closed in line with the high part of our guidance’, which estimated an adjusted EBITDA between 320 and 340 million. For 2023 De’ Longhi sees a year with sales ‘slightly down’, with ‘a second half of a slight recovery’ . The consolidated results will be approved by the board on 13 March.
