Be your own barista with the DeLonghi Nespresso Lattissima EN670.B. Enthrall your guests with delicious cappuccinos and lattes. It is so easy to create elegant drinks with Nespresso's patented coffee capsule technology and De'Longhi's patented milk container. Place a capsule in the top of the machine, attach the milk reservoir, place a cup under the nozzle and press the button. The Latissima self primes and does all the work - 45 seconds later you have a great drink. The milk reservoir detaches to return to the refrigerator, and spent capsules automatically eject.

A thermoblock heating element and 19-bar high pressure pump produce the perfect extraction for the pre-packed, single serving. The espresso maker also has an adjustable cup tray height that accommodates large or small cups, a drip tray insert, and a removable 40-ounce water tank for easy filling.

Elegant but Functional Beauty

A unique thing about the DeLonghi Nespresso Lattissima EN670.B’s attractive compact design is the coffee spout. Its pleasant teardrop shape makes it easy to fit even large cups underneath it – and if they don’t, simply remove the drip tray for extra room. To the left of the coffee dispenser is the automated one-touch patented milk dispenser and see-through removable carafe, which can be easily detached and placed in a refrigerator when not in use. The “clean” button makes it very easy to maintain. The convenient illuminated control panel buttons to the right of the spout allow you to choose your favorite drink (cappuccino, latte macchiato, espresso, long coffee or hot milk) in a simple and intuitive way. The water reservoir, behind the milk carafe is easy to remove for refilling or draining. An integrated cup warmer is also built into the side of the machine. The unique sliding drip tray with level indicator slides out to reveal the spent capsule container. This intuitive and user-friendly design makes operating the machine simple and enjoyable. The machine measures 10" H x 8" W x 13 1/2" D.

Brewing

Brewing Espresso

The hardest part of brewing on the Lattissima is deciding which Nespresso capsule blend you prefer. Once you’ve made your decision, open the lever located in the center, just over the coffee spout, insert the capsule, and close the lever. Press the espresso or lungo (small or large cup) button, and the button blinks as the machine brews espresso directly into your cup. If you prefer a cappuccino or latte, make sure the milk system is inserted, and press the cappuccino or latte button. Milk and espresso are then dispensed into your cup. Once this is complete, lift the same lever again to eject the capsule into the internal container, and close the lever again. You’re all done!

Nespresso Capsules

Why a capsule brewing system? Convenience! – With no grinding, measuring, or tamping involved; all you have to do is select your favorite flavor and place the capsule inside the machine. Nespresso capsules are specially designed so just the right amount of water flows through them during the brew cycle; then they are automatically ejected into an internal dump box after brewing is completed. Capsules store easily and protect the coffee from any harmful effects of moisture, light, and air.

Programming Options

The Nespresso Lattissima comes with pre-programmed volumes for espresso, lungo, and hot water, but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to them! If you want to change the volume of your coffee, insert a capsule and press and hold the button corresponding to the drink you want to adjust. Release the button once the desired volume has been reached. The flow of water will stop and the button will blink 3 times to confirm the new volume has been set. Adjusting the hot water is even easier – just press and hold the hot water button until you have the volume you want. The button will blink 3 times, confirming the new volume. If you change your mind about the new volume, it’s easy to reset the factory settings by pressing the standby button for 5 seconds.

Frothing and Hot Milk

Making Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato

It’s so easy! Attach the Milk reservoir, place your cup below the spout, at the controls select the appropriate combination for cappuccino or latte, and your preference is dispensed into your waiting cup. Knowing how to froth and steam your own milk is undeniably a skill, and not everyone has the time and patience to perfect it. That’s where the patented milk system comes in. Adjust the frother regulator depending on the quantity you want, and the kind of milk you’re using (skim milk produces more froth than whole).

Caring for your Milk System

The automated milk system allows you to press and hold the button labeled “clean” in order to rinse out the milk. The milk carafe can then be removed and stored in the refrigerator, or cleaned in the dishwasher. The only thing left for you to do now is use a damp cloth to wipe down the connecting tubes where the milk container was inserted.

Care, Maintenance & Other

Removable Drip Tray and Dump Box

It’s easy to keep your Nespresso Lattissima clean with the removable drip tray and dump box. If you cannot close the lever after you insert your capsule, this means that the dump box is filled with spent capsules, so it’s time to remove and rinse the container. A drip tray level indicator shows when the drip tray needs to be emptied, so just remove the drip tray cover and rinse. You can also remove the drip tray to accommodate larger cups.

Removable Water Reservoir

The removable 40 oz water tank is easy to empty and rinse by hand. Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. Remember, clean fresh water is important for a great tasting shot of espresso. When the water tank is empty, the milk recipes and coffee buttons will flash for 5 seconds to alert you.

Descaling

Periodic descaling is desirable if you want to keep your machine operating in peak condition. This process removes the buildup of minerals in your machine’s brewing components, and only takes about 20 minutes. You should descale about once every 3-4 months, though the exact frequency of your descaling will depend on the hardness of your water.
