Small in size, grand in espresso

The De’Longhi espresso machine (ECP33.21BK) is a compact portafilter machine that smoothly adapts to your daily rhythm. With a width of 18.5 cm, it takes up little space on the countertop, while the black finish provides a calm, modern look. The transparent 1-liter water tank allows you to see at a glance when refilling is needed. You work with ground coffee or ESE pods, making the appliance suitable for both quick coffee moments and more conscious preparations.

Full flavor and creamy milk foam

This espresso machine combines a pump pressure of 15 bar with a power of 1,100 watts to bring out aromas effectively. The thermoblock heating system heats up quickly, so you don't have to wait long. For milk specialties, use the integrated cappuccino system, which mixes steam, air, and milk into a creamy foam for your cappuccino or latte. Hot water for tea is also available, making the appliance more versatile. You control everything manually, giving you full control over taste and strength.

Full control over every preparation

De’Longhi has equipped the ECP33.21BK with a professional aluminum filter holder, contributing to a stable and consistent coffee flow. The 2 separate thermostats control water and steam temperature independently, so coffee brewing and milk frothing do not interfere with each other. This gives you more precision during preparation. This portafilter machine is aimed at users who like to have influence over every step, from grinding to extraction, and have less need for pre-set programs or automatic recipes.

Easy maintenance

Even with daily use, maintenance remains manageable, thanks to the removable water tank and the removable drip tray, which are easy to clean. Regular cleaning helps maintain consistent taste and extends the appliance's lifespan. After 9 minutes of inactivity, the machine automatically switches off, saving energy and providing extra safety. The simple mechanical operation means fewer parts requiring maintenance. This way, the focus remains on making coffee, without cleaning or settings taking up unnecessary time.
