Christmas is a time for giving – and this year, that can include giving back to the planet. From the way your morning coffee is made to the impact it leaves behind, sustainability has never tasted so good.
For De’Longhi, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. It’s built into every cup. Their commitment runs through every stage of production, from responsible product design and manufacturing to the way its machines are delivered and used at home.
Some of De’Longhi’s most advanced automatic coffee machines, including the Rivelia, are certified carbon-neutral – proof that great coffee can be both indulgent and environmentally conscious. And because they take whole coffee beans, ground fresh for every brew, they eliminate the waste of disposable pods while unlocking a world of flavour.
Choosing beans over capsules also means supporting a more sustainable coffee supply chain, one that connects you directly to the roasters and growers whose craft gives coffee its character. Whether it’s a nutty single-origin from Ethiopia or a rich Christmas blend from your favourite local roaster, freshly ground beans bring the story of sustainability full circle: from bean to cup.
Brewing at home is also far better value and a small daily ritual worth savouring; a moment of calm in the Christmas rush. So this season, make your coffee moment one that’s truly Perfetto – for you and for the planet.
De’Longhi offsets the carbon emissions from making the Rivelia through certified global sustainability projects.
