All the pump espresso machinery – the steam pipes, filter holders and grinder is tucked away from view inside the innovative design. All easily contolled by using the sleek control panel at the front of the machine.

The Prima Donna Avant makes creating that perfect cup of coffee a dream thanks to its clever patented automatic cappuccino system. This allows you to set the machine to suit your individual taste preferences at the touch of a button. Everything, from the coffee grind and size of cup to the coffee strength and temperature, is fully adjustable.

Full customisation of your cappuccino, caffe latte and macchiato, at a professional 15 Bar pressure, to just the way you like it, is done via the sleek piano black touch control panel.

The Prima Donna Avant grinds a fresh portion of coffee beans for each cup via the built-in burr grinder ensuring the coffee is completely fresh every time.

The Prima Donna Avant ESAM6700 adapts the percolator to extract the coffee more slowly for a stronger traditional Americano long black via the seperate long coffee button.
This is perfect for coffee lovers looking for that genuine, traditional strength of flavour that is occasionally lacking.
The Delonghi ESAM 6700 ensures a richer coffee experience due to its slow percolating system.

This state-of-the-art coffee machine boasts every conceivable feature including its own dedicated milk button. Allowing you to prepare hot milk for drinks such as chai lattes and hot chocolates.
Cold milk is drawn up into the carafe lid using a thick straw while at the same time a boiler inside the machine pumps hot steam through the lid. A stainless steel tube then immediately dispenses the hot froth into the cup, followed straight-away by a freshly made espresso.

The machine also has its own integrated milk storage jug to keep milk in the fridge between usage. The purpose designed, refrigerator-safe jug then connects easily back into the machine straight from the fridge. The milk container also has a simple but very effective self-cleaning function.
