The DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5500M is a fully automatic and fully programmable espresso machine featuring the patented one touch cappuccino system which froths the milk and creates and delivers espresso directly into your cup, all at the touch of a button.

With two stainless steel-lined boilers, the Perfecta keeps espresso at the optimal temperature and allows for simultaneous steaming. Control the size and strength of your coffee with the rotary control dial located in the center of the display.

Choose from 4 size options plus one programmable "my coffee" button which allows you to program your exact coffee taste. The low-pitch conical burr grinder offers 13 different grind settings, delivering consistent results without the added noise, and also features a pre-ground function that allows you to by-pass the grinder when pre-ground coffee is preferred.

The Perfecta is easy to clean with the one-touch "clean" button. And the milk container can be stored in the refrigerator after use. The Perfecta also features a statistics function that shows the you how many coffees & cappuccinos have been made, the amount of water the machine has used & how many times it has been descaled.

Other menu features include: auto on, auto off, 3 temperature settings, 7 language settings, descale function, and water hardness settings.
