Why you’ll love the Stilosa
15 Bar Pump – Rich, Velvety Crema
Pull a proper espresso crowned with a thick, nut-coloured crema and a bold, rich aroma. The 15 bar pressure pump draws the full flavour from your chosen ground coffee, for a smooth, full-bodied shot like your favourite coffee shop pours.
Milk Frother – Silky, Creamy Milk
Picture a creamy cappuccino topped with soft, sweet foam, or a flat white with a glossy, velvety finish. The adjustable manual milk frother lets you mix steam and milk to the texture you love, from light and silky to thick and foamy.
Stainless Steel Boiler
The boiler is made from durable stainless steel for consistent results over the long term. The removable 1-litre water tank has a water level indicator, so you can see at a glance when it needs topping up.
Two-Tier Drip Tray
The two-tier drip tray gives extra space for your mugs. Lift it out and there’s room for mugs and glasses up to 12 cm tall, ready for lattes and americanos.
Wake up to the aroma of freshly pulled espresso drifting through your kitchen with the De’Longhi Stilosa EC260.CR, a compact espresso coffee machine with milk frother in cream. From a short, intense shot with a nut-coloured crema to a silky flat white, it brings café-style coffee home without the coffee shop price, and its simple controls make it an easy place to start.
15 Bar Pump Pressure – Authentic Espresso Flavour
Experience a rich crema, a bold aroma and a full-bodied taste in every shot. The 15 bar pump gives your coffee the pressure it needs, so each espresso you brew at home tastes like it came from your favourite café.
Manual Milk Frother – Silky, Creamy Milk
Swirl steam through cold milk and watch it turn glossy, silky and sweet, ready to pour over your espresso for a creamy cappuccino or a velvety flat white. You choose the texture, from light and smooth to thick and foamy.
Ground Coffee – The Aroma of Your Favourite Blend
Spoon in the ground coffee you love and every cup carries its own aroma and character, from a smooth, mellow blend to a dark, intense roast.
Single and Double Baskets – A Smooth Single or a Bold Double
Pull a smooth single shot for a quick morning espresso, or a bold, intense double when you want a stronger hit of flavour.
