De’Longhi just upgraded one of my favorite coffee makers with ‘Silent Technology’ to make mornings 65% quieter

• The De’Longhi Eletta Ultra is a new fully automatic espresso machine
• De’Longhi claims it’s up to 65% quieter than its previous coffee makers
• It’s on sale now in the UK for £1,149.99 (about $1,600 / AU$2,200)

De’Longhi has launched a new automatic coffee maker, which it says is up to 65% quieter than its previous models. The De’Longhi Eletta Ultra features something the company calls ‘Silent Technology’, which muffles the sound of preparing your morning espresso so it doesn’t wake your family or give you a pre-caffeine headache.

The Eletta Ultra offers a menu of 50 drinks, including customizable options. If that much choice sounds overwhelming, you can split them into hot and cold options, or see them divided into seven curated menus, which should make it easier to find something you’ll enjoy.

There are two swappable milk carafes with different nozzles so you can choose between hot and cold milk foam, and the option to use a scoop of pre-ground coffee as an alternative to the beans in the hopper.

In terms of features, the Eletta Ultra is a successor to the De’Longhi Eletta Explore, but with its updated design, it looks more like the premium De’Longhi Primadonna Aromatic. Confused? I’ve rounded up each machine’s key specifications below to make things clearer.
