New De’Longhi products: Coffee
Whether it’s Maserati, Ferrari or Gucci – Italian products stand for design and aesthetics and express a certain attitude towards life. The new coffee products by De’Longhi combine these aspirations and bring authentic, Italian enjoyment of coffee into the home. Thus, the popular, fully automatic coffee machine Dinamica has been developed further into the Dinamica plus. One of the smart benefits is the new, practical coffee pot function, with which you can prepare up to 6 cups at the same time. Fastidious fans of filter coffee can look forward to the new pour-over coffee machine Clessidra with its hourglass form. The special feature of this machine is its brewing process mimicking classic manual pouring, where the water is poured by hand through a coffee filter placed on top of the pot. To prepare Italian coffee in the authentic way, the semi-automatic La Specialista filter holder is the new way to go. Smart technology supports coffee lovers in classic barista routines like setting the degree of grinding, tamping and foaming milk.
De’Longhi world premiere in the coffee sector: Maestosa
Maestosa, the absolute highlight, is celebrating its world premiere at IFA 2018. This premium fully automatic coffee machine unites decades of expertise and excellent engineering talent into a masterpiece. Maestosa has two independent, electronically controlled grinders with innovative Adaptive Grinding technology, which ensures a very precise grinding process with automatic adaptation of the degree of grinding. Its puristic, high-gloss front of fine glass is framed by high-quality stainless steel cut in a wavy stripe design that gives the machine an exceptional appearance. The Maestosa will initially be available exclusively in Germany.
New De’Longhi products: Home Comfort
The Home Comfort sector is embedded in the DNA of the company since its establishment. The products of this premium brand convince customers through their technology, blending into the living environment harmoniously with their subtle design and high-quality materials – and the new, particularly quiet dehumidifier is no exception. The DNS65 brings humidity back into equilibrium, and it does so very quietly with a noise level of only 34 dB, thanks to its advanced technology without a compressor.
New De’Longhi products: Kitchen
Deep fryers, ovens and microwaves have been in the De’Longhi range for more than 30 years. Hot-air fryers are versatile kitchen appliances to create healthy and delicious dishes – from risotto and casseroles through to pizza. At IFA 2018, De’Longhi will add the IdealFry to the range, to prepare fresh French fries with just a little fat and the deep-frozen version even completely without – to enjoy fried foods guilt-free.
The Kenwood brand

Food processors can be adapted individually in line with one’s own preferences thanks to more than 25 optional accessories – true to the Kenwood motto #FeedYourImagination. Fans of fresh juices and smoothies can look forward to new accessories at IFA 2018. The Slow Juicer accessory juices particularly gently, slowly and without producing heat in order to preserve a particularly high number of vitamins. The BlendXtract Sport not only creates one’s favourite smoothie quickly, but does so in a practical to-go cup to take along. Kitchens are also getting colourful with the limited Chef Sense Colour Collection in subtle pastel tones. The three-piece patisserie set, stylish glass bowl and planetary stirring system of the powerful food processors can make the most intricate cake dreams come true at the flick of a switch.

New Braun products: Ironing
Ironing is still seen as a chore even though smooth clothing is essential to a successful outfit. Ironing has already become fast and simple with the powerful Braun steam ironing stations and their proven technology. The new CareStyle Compact even allows you to speed through large piles of laundry 50 percent faster2, thanks to its efficient DoubleSteam technology and the successful FreeGlide 3D soleplate. As if that were not enough, this steam expert also only requires half the space in your wardrobe or on the ironing board.3 This not only makes the CareStyle Compact Braun’s most compact steam iron station, it also fulfils today’s requirements for optimum use of space and suits the current trend towards smaller living spaces.4
New Braun products: Hand blender
The Braun hand blender convinces customers with its versatility and performance – this traditional brand is the market leader for a good reason.5 The developers have once again proven their competence with this IFA Innovation 2018 and are showing that this classic can do a lot more in the kitchen than just puree – the new MultiQuick 5 Vario Fit is perfect for fitness fans and anyone who wants to eat more healthily. This new multi-talent is both a hand blender and spiraliser that can not only puree but also turns carrots, beetroots etc. into healthy linguine, pappardelle or tagliatelle with its three different cutting attachments.
