Drip coffee maker De’Longhi 1 L Citiz

The De’Longhi 1 L Citiz drip coffee maker is a semi-automatic machine designed to brew single-serve coffee using capsules. It combines a compact 1-litre water tank with a 1710 W power rating and a fast thermoblock heating element that reaches operating temperature in around 25 seconds. The unit integrates an Aeroccino milk frother for milk-based drinks, a 19 bar pressure pump for consistent extraction, and a programmable FLOW STOP system to set coffee volumes for Espresso and Lungo servings. Finished in black, the Citiz suits a range of kitchen styles while providing straightforward capsule insertion and mechanical capsule ejection into a container that stores 9–11 used capsules.

Advantages

The Citiz offers quick heat-up and stable extraction thanks to its thermoblock heater and 19 bar pump, enabling consistent flavor from capsule coffee. Its Aeroccino frother expands drink options to cappuccino and other milk-based recipes without requiring a separate appliance. Energy-saving features include automatic standby after nine minutes and energy class A-40%. The FLOW STOP programmable quantity control ensures repeatable serving sizes with preset options for Espresso (40 ml) and Lungo (110 ml).

• Home kitchens where compact footprint and capsule convenience are priorities

How to use

Fill the removable 1 L water tank to the required level, insert a compatible capsule according to the capsule guide and close the brewing unit. Select the desired serving size or use the programmable FLOW STOP to dispense 40 ml for Espresso or 110 ml for Lungo. Activate the integrated Aeroccino frother separately when preparing cappuccino or other milk drinks. After brewing, the machine mechanically ejects the used capsule into the built-in container; empty this container when it reaches capacity (9–11 capsules). The thermoblock system provides a fast heat-up so the machine is ready in about 25 seconds.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fresh water and compatible capsules intended for this Nespresso-compatible system. Descale the machine periodically following manufacturer guidance to maintain heating efficiency and consistent extraction. Empty the used-capsule container regularly and allow the Aeroccino to cool briefly between frothing cycles to preserve performance.
