About this deal

There’s a limit to how attractive a bean-to-cup coffee machine can be, but the PrimaDonna Soul is one of the finer-looking examples on the market. The curved profile and silver trim look classy, and the build quality, attachments and accessories all add to the premium feel. The water tank, grounds bin and milk carafe all slot in and out with a reassuringly positive clunk – think BMW car door rather than a Skoda – and it’s easy to access the internal parts to clean the brew group when you need to. The milk foam control knob adjusts the consistency of the steamed milk. The model offers three levels:

The PrimaDonna Soul automatically adjusts the grind setting, dose size, and water temperature depenting on the coffee used. In this case, the algorithms use DeLonghi’s pre-settings. The milk carafe slots into the front of the machine and can be topped up through a newly designed lid, making it much easier to use than the carafe on the previous model, the Elite. Depending on your preferred density of milk foam, you’ll need to turn the dial from low to high before drinks are dispensed. There’s also a ‘clean’ setting which you’re prompted to use after every drink requiring froth, although you can override this option if you want. Our first port of call was to reduce the grind size – unlike many other bean-to-cup machines, this is adjusted via the settings menu or the app rather than a manual control. Very sensibly, though, the menu makes it clear that it’s best to adjust the grind size one step at a time, and prevents users from cranking it too far in either direction and creating more problems. After the grind size was adjusted one step finer, the espresso suddenly gained more flavour and a far richer texture. As ever, small adjustments can reap a big improvement. In addition, PrimaDonna Soul is the first to use a removable two-piece coffee dispenser. Delonghi PrimaDonna Soul dispenserFor anyone that loves great coffee without a huge amount of fuss, the PrimaDonna Soul could well be worth the investment. The array of drinks this model can churn out would make it a fantastic choice for busy households. However, don’t expect any miracles from the smart features, as the Coffee Link app is a frustrating add-on that isn’t necessary to enjoy everything this machine can offer.

Cappuccino – 17 seconds for milk (approx 150 ml with max froth), then 65 ml of coffee. Adjustment – 5 – 90 sec for milk (up to 700 ml), 20-180 ml of coffee; While the touch screen on the machine itself is inaccessible for anyone who has a visual impairment the app is mostly accessible. There are some bugs, but they can be worked around if you are willing to do a few extra steps. You can’t wake the machine up using the power button if you want the app to connect. You have to use the app itself to wake it up. Getting the app to recognise the machine can take a few attempts at refreshing the search screen before it will find the connection. Once connected, the screen reader on the phone does not read all information clearly but it does read coffee selection and the preparation buttons.While coffee beans might all look similar on the outside, on the inside they're all very different, with different grinding and brewing levels needed to extract the best flavour from the beans. That's where PrimaDonna's Bean Adapt Technology comes into play.

It’s also possible to control the machine remotely, but if you’re hoping you can leave your coffee cup on the tray overnight and then remotely pour a cappuccino from your bed in the morning, then prepare to be disappointed. You can do that, but there are several reasons why we wouldn’t recommend it. First, as the machine flushes water through its spouts during every startup and also on a regular basis while it’s operational, your cup won’t just be full of coffee – it will also contain all the dirty water that’s been flushed through. As for the milk, while the insulated carafe kept it fresh for a good few hours in our testing, it won’t last the night. Take that risk (or leave some milk in the carafe by accident), and you’re likely to get an unpleasantly lumpy surprise. Doppio + – 120 ml / (80 – 180) ml. This special double espresso program uses a single grind with maximum strength and intermittent pre-wetting; Subject to clause 10.1, we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage in the following circumstances:The next step was to use the app’s Bean Adapt wizard to tailor the machine’s settings to our medium roast espresso beans. This has to be done in the app and can’t be done on the machine itself. The Bean Adapt wizard asks a few questions about the type of beans and the roast profile. That done, we tapped the Espresso Soul drinks option on the machine and waited. Any Products identified as sold on behalf of Euronics are not available for delivery to the Republic of Ireland. any business losses such as loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of opportunity as the Products are supplied only for private use; Launching the app and connecting it to the coffee machine takes about 30 seconds and, unlike Maestosa, sometimes works unstable. Most Products come with at least a 1 year guarantee, so if your Product develops a fault after 30 days we’ll offer you either a repair or replacement.

With the new De'Longhi PrimaDonna Soul, you can taste the true aroma of your favourite beans. Thanks to the innovative Bean Adapt Technology, the machine easily sets the specific grinding size and brewing parameters so to execute a tailor-made coffee extraction based on the beans you choose and deliver all their aroma straight to your cup.
