DELHF

De'Longhi S.p.a.

A maker of small home appliances, best known for its espresso and bean-to-cup coffee machines like the Magnifica and Eletta lines, plus heaters, air conditioners, and kitchen gadgets. It began in 1902 as a family workshop in Treviso, Italy, making industrial parts, and only put its own name on a product in 1975 with an oil-filled portable radiator born of the energy crisis. The name is a family surname meaning "of the tall ones" — a nod to a long-ago long-limbed ancestor.
