LatteCrema System

The LatteCrema System delivers creamier and denser coffee beverages, from a dense and creamy froth to a silky smooth texture for your Cappuccino and all your coffee-based milk drinks. The LatteCrema system will give your coffee, the perfect density, perfect creaminess and perfect temperature, until the last drop!

Density Test on 4 different milk types:

• Cow milk
• Soy milk
• Rice milk
• Almond milk

Perfect Cappuccino

The Perfect Cappuccino should be:

• Creamy
• Dense
• With the perfect temperature.

The LatteCrema System delivers creamy milk froth with ideal micro-bubble surface. For a good Cappuccino the foam volume should be 1.5 times the liquid part and our system produces the ideal ratio of 1:6. The temperature should be around 65-70 °C or 149-158 °F. The milk foam produced, is long lasting so the pleasure can be enjoyed until the very last drop.

Self-Cleaning Function

These milk jugs feature a quick automatic self-cleaning option, which can be activated after each use for maximum hygiene, and are easily stored in the fridge when not in use.

Milk

To create high-quality milk froth, make sure the milk is fresh, used straight from the refrigerator (stored at a temperature of approx. 5°C). This will ensure to reach the ideal temperature when heat is added to it to create the foam. With LatteCrema System, we recommend using semi-skim milk, with ideally 1.5% fat, in order to obtain the best results in terms of foam texture, volume and taste. With DeLonghi, LatteCrema System, feel free to experience new flavours with soy or almond milk.

Water

98% of the liquid in the cup is made of water, as a consequence, the water used in the coffee machine must clearly be fresh, as well as flavourless, odourless and colourless. Another factor that can affect the quality of water is the water hardness (due to the presence of calcium and magnesium mineral). Water hardness of approximately 9 French degrees (or 90 mg/l) is ideal. You can buy a water softener filter for hard water to increase performance and improve coffee flavour.

Use the Perfect Cup

For a better crema, cups should be conical or concave with a round inner base and a medium-sized rim. For the same reason, the cup should be dry and hot (about 40 °C). If it is not possible to use cups with a rounded base, the brewed coffee flow must run down the cup side wall. In this way the crema will be compact.
