Create silky smooth milk froth with LatteGo milk system
Our powerful cyclonic frothing technology lets you create silky smooth milk froth at the touch of a button, even with plant-based milk alternatives.
Less waiting, faster coffee with QuickStart
No more waiting for your machine to warm up. Our QuickStart function allows you to power on your machine and brew a coffee right away. Your machine will heat up based on the selected recipe.
Enhanced flavor thanks to hard-wearing ceramic grinder
Bring out the full flavour of your beans with our hardwearing ceramic grinder. Fine-tune the grind size using one of 12 settings, from fine to coarse.
Get the perfect temperature & aroma and crema cup after cup
Our Aroma Extract system finds the ideal balance between temperature and aroma by keeping the water temperature between 190F and 210F, all while regulating the water flow rate.
Even more flavor thanks to the extra shot function
Enjoy more flavour without the bitterness by using our extra shot function. You can add it to any of our coffee recipes, except when using the pre-ground function.
Up to 5000 cups without descaling thanks to Aquaclean
Brew up to 5000 cups without having to descale using an AquaClean filter. It purifies water before brewing begins so your coffee tastes more flavorsome.
Save on water and energy usage with Eco Settings
Use one of five Eco Settings to reduce water and energy consumption, without compromising on coffee quality. Our 5500 series allows you to dim the main and cup lights earlier than the default time, use less water while rinsing, switch to standby mode more quickly, or dim brightness.
