De'Longhi Debuts Dual-Carafe Espresso Machine for Hot and Cold Drinks

The Magnifica Duo distinguishes itself with two separate carafes, eliminating the need to swap components when switching between temperature profiles. Beyond its milk capabilities, the machine features three distinct brewing methods: standard espresso, drip coffee, and a rapid cold brew function. According to the manufacturer, this proprietary process extracts cold brew flavor in under three minutes, bypassing the traditional 12-hour steeping period.

Internal hardware includes a grinder with 13 settings, ensuring fresh extraction for every cup. Users can navigate 20 preset recipes via a color touchscreen, ranging from flat whites to iced lattes. The system also supports three personalized user profiles, allowing individuals to store specific preferences for drink strength, temperature, and volume.
