LaSpecialista Maestro
on June 30, 2021
Posted by: Osbrooks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so pumped for the arrival of this glorious machine. DeLonghi espresso makers are top notch and this one is no different. I was a bit overwhelmed my first couple of times using it but the instructions are clear and easy to follow and now I’m my own barista! My favorite feature is definitely the convenient built in coffee bean grinder but the LatteCrema milk frother is a close second. The six specialty brew selections make recreating your favorite coffeehouse drinks a breeze. The only drawback I see is that the machine is quite large. It would not fit under my cabinets and allow me to fill the water tank and grind the coffee beans. Thankfully I was able to relocate it and create a freestanding coffee station. The LaSpecialista Maestro is a beautiful machine that will be the star of any kitchen!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tastes Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso Machine today and it looks absolutely stunning in my newly remodeled kitchen.
At first glance, the machine can look intimidating; however, the manual setup instructions were extremely easy to follow and I had the espresso machine up and running in no time.
The espresso coffee that I just made literally tastes better than any coffee that I have ever purchased from any coffee shop.
I would highly recommend this item to all of you coffee fanatics out there!

Excellent quality machine for all coffee lovers
on June 28, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso maker not only makes quality espresso drinks but other hot beverages as well including regular coffee. The drinks are better quality than I can even get from a coffee shop because I can make the drinks exactly how I like them. The device does everything for you from grinding the beans to frothing the drink. My favorite setting to use is the cappuccino setting. The design is sleek and modern. The stainless steel does show fingerprints and needs to be wiped down frequently. All the settings on the machine are easy to understand. The This appliance is very heavy and not easy to move from place to place in the kitchen. It also takes up a large amount of space. Overall if you like fun coffee drinks like I do you will thoroughly enjoy having this machine in your home. It truly makes for a fun experience.

Makes delicious espresso!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso Machine is all you need to make a perfect coffee/latte/espresso. It did take me a bit of time to adjust the grind and tamping pressure. Yes, it wastes a bit of beans at first, but it is well worth it now, as my espresso shots are very consistent. It was definitely worth the time and extra coffee beans doing this. Don't skip this part!!
The grinder is integrated in the unit. It contains a sensor to have the optimal amount of beans dispensed. It is very handy not having to pull out a separate grinder. The built-in tamper has a lever that presses down the grounds so you have less mess and waste. As far as brewing goes, there are preset choices on the machine to create many types of drinks. There is 5 different temperature settings, so you can tailor the temperature to your roast level as well as your liking. There is a LatteCrema Automatic Milk Frother on this machine as well, which is very easy to operate.
Overall, I really enjoy my espresso maker. It makes a great latte, is easy to clean and looks very professional sitting on my countertop.

The perfect espresso!
on June 27, 2021
Posted by: Joe1978
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great espresso machine for people who love espresso. Too often I go out for an espresso and it tastes lousy and watered down. This machine gives you all the adjustments you need to make when it comes to your perfect espresso. I can adjust the automatic coffee grinder to a more fine grind. I can adjust the dose of grounds per espresso, the temp of the water, in order for the perfect espresso with the right amount of crema. Not over or under extracted. The machine grinds the beans once you put in the portafilter to the specific grounds set in the machine. I use dark espresso beans, so a fine grind works best.
Another wonderful feature is the automatic frother that can attach to the milk container. I can set the machine up for a latte and it will make the espresso and froth the milk at the same time to pour into my cup right after the espresso is poured in. The La Specialista can make all sort of drinks automatically. It can make an Americano, cappuccino, coffee, flat white, and a latte. It’s pretty easy to clean, and has now become a part of my morning and afternoon routine!

Impressive looking expresso machine
on June 26, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Delonghi La Specialista is an impressive looking expresso machine that will catch the attention of anyone walking into your kitchen. At first it might seem intimidating and complicated but the quick start instruction guide includes pictures and enough information to get started. My 10 year old daughter was even able to make quality lattes after a quick tutorial from my wife. The water container is at the back of the machine and is easily removed for refilling. It has automatic and manual options for frothing milk. The coffee grinder starts automatically when you connect the portafilter and stops when it's full. The tamping handle is conveniently located on the top left side of the machine. It will make coffee, americanos, lattes and expressos - there is something to please everyone in the family! There is also a flat white option. The machine is easy to clean after using it and the detachable parts are all dish-washer safe. There are too many features and options to cover in a single review. What I like best about the Delonghi La Specialista is that it makes a darn good cup of coffee that I look forward to every morning.

Luxurious coffee easily at home
on June 26, 2021
Posted by: ajt296
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been so excited to get delivery as when my La Specialista Maestro arrived and it has lived up to my expectations. Working from home, I have been missing my specialty espresso drinks that I got in the city at work but I was always scared of how complicated espresso machines seemed. La Specialista Maestro allows me to recreate the specialty drinks easily at home. It provides a number of easy to use settings (and comes with instructions) to maximize the taste of your beans. Plus, it includes a tamper that does not leave any mess – in my looking, I have not seen many espresso machines that include this feature. It also has six pre-set drink settings that you can choose from that make it easy to prepare specialty drinks. However, what really sold me on the La Specialista was the automatic milk frothing system. It is called the LatteCrema System and it is absolutely amazing. It takes all the guess work and confusion out of milk frothing and does it for you! All I do is fill the milk jug, put on the special top, and plug it right into the machine. It froths the milk based on your drink setting and then dispenses it right into the cup for you. My husband says it tastes just like the best coffee shops. I will say that I watched a lot of De’Longhi videos online (that I highly recommend) and read the instructions before using. The set up and first use did take me a bit of time to figure everything out, but I have never owned an espresso machine so that is to be expected. Even though it look a little time, the first espresso came out great right out of the gate. By the second day, I felt like I was already an expert. That is thanks to all the technology and a well thought out, easy to use design. My one tip, measure your counter space and clearance under your cabinets. The La Specialista Maestro is large and tall. The only downside for me is that it does not fit under the cupboard where I wanted to put it by a little bit, so I had to relocate across the kitchen. It also heavy, about 40 pounds, so get help with the delivery and getting it out of the box if you need it.

The best of the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What is not to love about this incredible machine. If you are serious about your cappuccino or espresso this is the espresso maker for you. I have never. had a better cup of cappuccino made in my home before. I have 6 of my favorite coffee drinks to pick from and the frother is incredible. I also could not be more excited by being able to grind my own beans right on top. This is a purchase that I am so happy I made. My coffee game is as professional as can be and makes for a really impressive after dinner treat. If you really enjoy your coffee this is a must have.
