News from the industry 2/ – Prepare a latte with a simple touch

Milan – The Nespresso Lattissima from De’Longhi is a new machine which enables to easily prepare a latte or cappuccino with a one-touch milk froth function.

The company claims the one-touch cappuccino system “provides the optimal combination of steam, milk and air to create milk froth with perfect consistency”.

The one-touch option also features an auto-rinsing function, which enables users to easily clean the tubes used for milk foam preparation, thereby preventing milk particles from remaining inside the system. The removable 17-ounce milk container is a new feature that can be conveniently stored in the refrigerator.

The adjustable cup platform houses another innovative touch: its middle section can be pushed back to fill a latte glass.

The Nespresso Lattissima features twin pump and heating systems, one for producing coffee and the other for frothing milk, which may be used at the same time. The integrated flow-stop system allows for programming the desired water level for a coffee or espresso. Using the auto cappuccino function at the same time delivers a cappuccino in less than one minute and a latte macchiato in approximately one minute and twenty seconds.

Lattissima is another creation of the renowned designer Antoine Cahen, who has given most Nespresso machines their unique look.
