  • The De'Longhi Eletta Ultra can brew over 50 drinks, split into seven menus
  • It's much quieter than most bean-to-cup coffee makers
  • It's available now for for £1,149.99 (about $1,500 / AU$2,200)

De'Longhi has released a new premium coffee maker with a menu of over 50 drinks, which are grouped by "mood and style" to help you find exactly what you want.

The De'Longhi Eletta Ultra is a successor to the Eletta Explore, which our reviewer Josephine Watson awarded four and a half stars out of five in 2024, but makes it even easier to find the right drink by splitting them into seven themed menus.

It brews hot and cold, and has a milk system with two swappable carafes that allow you to create hot or cold milk foam using your choice of dairy or plant-based milk. The system (called LatteCrema Hot & Cool) is easy to use, and from my experience with other De'Longhi coffee makers, extremely simple to clean as well.

The machine can adjust its own brew settings to suit your chosen coffee using a system called Bean Adapt, and you can create and save your own recipes using De'Longhi's Coffee Link mobile app.

The Eletta Ultra is supposedly quieter than its predecessor as well, thanks to what De'Longhi calls 'Silent Technology'. which the company claims can reduce noise by up to 65% compared to its standard coffee makers.

In fact, it's one of the few coffee makers to receive Quiet Mark certification, alongside machines like the Jura J10 and KitchenAid KF8.

The Eletta Ultra is available to order in the UK direct from De'Longhi for £1,149.99 (about $1,500 / AU$2,200). I'll be testing it soon to see how it compares with the Eletta Explore, and whether it can earn a place in our roundups of the best coffee makers and the best espresso machines.
