The DeLonghi Pump Espresso Machine, ECP 3420, is designed for new baristas with a pressurized portafilter and easy to use steam wand that makes brewing delicious espresso drinks easier than ever before.
The ECP 3420 brews using a 15 bar pump and a 1100 watt stainless steel boiler. To simplify the espresso brewing process, the machine uses a pressurized portafilter and includes three different filter baskets for single shot, double shot, and E.S.E. pod espresso brewing. The pressurized portafilter creates artificial pressure that assists with extraction even if the coffee isn't perfectly tamped or ground to produce a rich crema.
For milk drinks, DeLonghi's Advanced Cappuccino System takes the sometimes daunting task of milk frothing by automatically injecting air directly into the milk to produce a rich, creamy foam. When you've textured your milk the way you like, simply submerge the wand to continue heating your milk to your preferred temperature.
For easy cleaning and refilling, the ECP 3420's 37oz water reservoir can be removed from the top of the machine to take to the sink for rinsing or refilling. To provide additional clearance while brewing, the drip tray slides up to accommodate cups up to 5" high.
If you're a first time espresso machine owner, a pressurized portafilter is a great way to take the guesswork out of brewing. These specialized portafilters assist in the extraction process by creating artificial pressure that helps to produce a crema rich shot of espresso even when using pre-ground coffee or E.S.E. pods. The ECP 3630 comes with three different filter baskets for single shot, double shot, and pod espresso brewing. The machine also features storage space for your filters that are not in use.
For milk drinks like cappuccinos and lattes, DeLonghi's advanced cappuccino system is a manual milk frother that manually mixes steam and milk to produce rich, creamy milk foam without having to move the steam arm. The cappuccino system will automatically inject air into your milk using an air intake hole, when you produced your preferred amount of milk foam, simply immerse the tip into your milk to continue heating without frothing.
Prefer a taller cup of coffee? Thanks to the easy to remove drip tray, the ECP 3420 can accommodate cups up to 5" tall when brewing drinks like Cafe Cremas or Americanos.
For easy rinsing and refilling, the 37oz (1L) water tank can be removed from the top of the machine.
