De’Longhi Eletta Explore ECAM452.67.G
ECAM452.67.G automatic hot and cold milk-drinks machine
Editorial review Reviewed 20 October 2026 How we assess products
De’Longhi Eletta Explore ECAM452.67.G is the most complete automatic hot-and-cold option here. Separate hot and cold milk carafes let it prepare both kinds of milk drink, alongside espresso, longer coffees and cold extraction. That makes it more useful for iced lattes than a machine that simply adds an “over ice” recipe to its menu. Cold extraction does not chill the coffee or make ice. You still need ice for a cold drink, and the quick brewing method is different from leaving coffee to steep overnight. The front-access 1.8L tank is convenient, but a long menu and rinse cycles can empty it quickly.
