De'Longhi Classic EM450
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The Classic EM450 is a manual portafilter coffee machine with a metal body and thermoblock heating, which the manufacturer states delivers fast heat-up times and greater temperature stability. The front panel has a needle pressure indicator, and the controls are limited to an on/off switch, two brewing buttons (1 or 2 cups), and a knob for hot water and steam, dispensed through a frothing aid with a selector ring between the "cappuccino" and "hot milk" positions. The water tank holds 1.7 litres. The manufacturer states power as 220-240 V / 50-60 Hz at 1325 W: a voltage range, not a fixed figure.
