Espresso for the most serious
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: TonyL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderfully made and easy to make the best espressos you’ve ever had. It brings the temperature for every cup perfect and doesn’t take much time at all. It has great functionality so you can make your fancier versions of your favorite brew. It does take a bit of counter space but if this is your enjoyment of the day then the space is well worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Awesome machine! Some buyers mention problems with the grinder, but we've had no issues and we run this thing quite a bit.
Watch the walkthrough video on YouTube, works exactly as displayed. Worth the upgrade if you're looking to replace. Might be a lot of machine for new enthusiasts.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This machine could not be easier or more pleasurable to use. I have made multiple drinks since it arrived and they have all turned out great. It's easy to clean too, which is so nice.

Exquisite coffee experience for everyone
on July 6, 2021
Posted by: Veronica
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I come from a family of coffee lovers. Safe to say that we all love our coffee prepared differently - from espresso to cappuccino to latte or Americano, all the various types of coffee can be made in this machine with ease. This LaSpecialista Maestro coffee machine is beautifully designed and is revolutionary to cater all our coffee needs. It is quite easy to make, clean and the dosage and sensor helps in preparing the best flavored coffee at home. The machine looks a bit overwhelming at first but it comes with detailed easy to follow instructions. There are six specialty brew selections which helps making our favorite drink a quick exercise. The machine does all the activities, from grinding the beans to frothing (LatteCrema system) the drink. This LatteCrema system automatically dispenses the right amount of froth in the drink of your choice. There is a sensor that dispatches the optimal amount of beans for grinding. The built-in tamper has a lever that presses the coffee grounds evenly resulting in less waste. There are five different temperature settings to tailor the roasting per individual needs. Simple drinks like espresso with a single or double shot can be achieved with a press of a button, however, other drinks does require you to be a bit more involved. There is also a My button which allows you to adjust the amount of water or milk to be added for a specific setting. Depending the type of coffee one desires, this setting can be adjusted accordingly. I did notice that there is no water level indicator on the front side of the machine which requires to turn around the machine to lift the water tank to confirm the water level. Overall, the stainless steel body adds an elegant look to the machine and is a great addition to our kitchen.

Coffee Shop Quality at Home!
on June 25, 2021
Posted by: Scott M
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I worked as a Barista for over seven years and was extensively trained on how to grind, tamp and froth in order to create a variety of coffee shop creations. There is quite an art to how much pressure and grind density go in to each pull in order to extract the optimal flavor from the beans. The art of frothing milk is a separate step that takes a while to master.
This machine does an excellent job of removing variables and making coffee shop quality beverages accessible to all levels of experience.
-The grinder is integrated in to the machine as has easy to adjust grind settings with a sensor to know when the optimal dose has been dispensed.
-The tamper is built in with a lever that delivers a consistent pressure and produces less waste since it is self contained.
-There are quite a few preset selections for brewing different creations
-The "LatteCrema Automatic Milk Frother" takes a lot of the guesswork out of frothing milk. It uses high temperature steam to add air to milk and creates a very useful froth.
All of these steps together means you no longer need extensive training to create high quality beverages at home. For those baristas out there, this machine still allows you to adjust grind settings, tamp by hand and froth you own milk. Truly a perfect blend for all experience levels.
I would highly recommend the La Specialista Maestro for your at home coffee bar.

Delicious Coffee, Kit is a Work of Art
on July 4, 2021
Posted by: NanP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The De'Longhi LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso Machine is an absolute work of art. Even when not in use, it just draws you in to stare at the machine. The coffee maker has a ton of features to ensure that you can dial in the perfect cup of coffee or espresso every time. It's surprisingly quiet in operation and grind. If you want to be a dabbling barista at home, this is the machine for you.

Great coffee
on June 1, 2021
Posted by: Stacemarie101
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is very intimidating at first with set up and learning how to get it to function but once it is set up it is very easy to use and makes amazing espresso. I definitely prefer using my machine rather then going out for coffee now

Awesome product
on May 29, 2021
Posted by: Weswigg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this espresso machine and at first it was difficult to understand the instructions but I ended up going to YouTube and found a site that helped me get it going. Cleaning everything seems to be pretty easy as well. So far I can say I love this machine I’ve tried the frappe and I can’t wait to make my first espresso. I love the size of it and it looks so great in my kitchen. Will definitely recommend to everyone to go out and get this machine if they love different types of coffee.
