[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso Machine to try and review. What a MACHINE. Not for the casual coffee drinker . . .a true delight for a coffee Lover. Read about the product, educate yourself and from there a quality cup of coffee, expresso shot or latte can be crafted at Home !
There is a lot that comes with this Expresso Machine but that is what should be expected.
You can taste the quality that is brewed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Espresso
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: Waka
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm almost at a loss for words here. If there was a visual representation of perfection it would be the LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso Machine. Everything about this piece of art was designed with perfection. Ill describe everything in the order of how you make the espresso. The water fill station is super easy to fill and can either be filled attached to the machine or picked up and filled with a faucet. The bean container holds a ton of beans and has different grind options. You can also choose how much bean gets grinded. The built in smart tamper gives a perfect tamp every time. The espresso brews with water at your chosen temperature to customize the perfect amount of crema. Finally the milk frothier has a smart frothier that can do the process for you or you can froth the milk yourself and pour however much milk you would like. The machine also will make the type of beverage you want for a perfect cup every time. I love everything about this machine and will recommend this to all my friends and family.

Great Espresso Machine
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: QuickSloth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro machine has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The machine itself is pretty big, so make sure you have plenty of counter space. The look of this machine is amazing. It feels like I am a professional barista just by the look. Then you get into the actually making of the drinks and that just solidifies the professional feel. This machine can do espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, coffee, and much more. This thing is very versatile. It has some amazing features that help make all these drinks. It has an automatic bean grinder that can grind the beans into many different sizes. It can control the temperature of the drink. My favorite feature is the automatic milk frother. I am so happy with this machine. The set up is super easy when you follow the instructions. It seemed a bit intimidating at first because of the large size of the box, but after reading everything was done perfectly. Overall this have been a fantastic machine with the quality of the machine, the modern features, and ease of use. I would recommend this machine to anyone.

The best espressos hands down!
on May 26, 2021
Posted by: BlackOmega
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a good espresso and I also enjoy having the control over my espresso by making them myself however my current machine is a bit lacking in options. So I immediately jumped at the opportunity to try the De'longhi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine and all I can say is WOW this is one amazing machine, and it makes probably THE BEST espresso I have ever had. That said lets take a deeper dive into the La Specialista Maestro.
Packaging/In the Box – Everything was well packaged/protected for shipping and all the parts were easy to locate and ready for assembly, of which there is not much to do as the machine comes 90% assembled. In short you just have to remove protective wrapping/packaging and assemble the pour filter and coffee baskets. In the box you have the pour filter, 12 gram (single) and 21 gram (double) filter baskets, a milk jug/latte system, descaler solution, descaler accessory, cleaning disc and cleaning brush, and power cord.
Installation/Setup – Setup as I said was super simple, the instructions for setup and first time use/cleaning are clear and easy to follow.
Use – Now this is where the La Specialista Maestro just blows every other espresso machine I have used out of the park. There is a ton of customizable settings which frankly, I am still figuring out. The awesome thing is that De'longhi has a great youtube page with a lot of helpful videos on using your La Specialista Maestro and is a huge help on getting started. Just search for DeLonghi How to and and then I found the easiest way to get at the relevant videos for this particular machine is to search for Maestro on the channel itself.
Final thoughts on the De'longhi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine are that it’s a professional grade, feature packed espresso machine that makes some amazing drinks, whether they be espresso, macchiatos, Americanos, or lattes! We are going to get A LOT of use out of this amazing espresso machine!

The Maestro is espresso perfection in your home!
on May 26, 2021
Posted by: H2ODogz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I worked in college as a barista where I gained a lifelong education about coffee and developed a discerning taste for what quality coffee means. With this knowledge and palette being both a blessing and a curse, I have forever since been on a search for the consumer-grade equipment to equip my kitchen with the ability to produce coffee that my tastes demand. After literal years (and thousands spent I’m sure) of purchasing espresso machines I am so proud to say that this quest is finally over. Thank you, De’Longhi.
The La Specialista Maestro is absolutely amazing on all fronts and delivers true professional coffee house quality beverages without a steep learning curve. Upon unboxing it is clear that extreme care and craftsmanship has gone into the design of every purposeful component. Every handle, reservoir, etc. feels substantial and weighted; and each component locks into place solidly without question or wiggle. The control panel gauges are precise, bright, and clear without being ostentatious. The stainless finish is bright and beautiful, and the metal feels thick and seems like it will be resistant to accidental dents. Plastic components have been the point of weakness in prior espresso machines I have owned but are not a concern here – the plastic of the bean container, water reservoir, and top of the milk container are all very thick plastic and I am confident would withstand accidental drops or even worse.
Using the La Specialista Maestro is an absolute joy. Seriously. The device may seem intimidating but the quick start guide contains everything a new user with no experience would need to know to become proficient in an hour or less. After setup and your first foray in, each brew will be easier and easier until the process will be second nature. What is beautiful about an appliance so well designed as the La Specialista Maestro is that you are not ever fighting poor craftsmanship or design – everything is exactly where it should be, precise, and operates with perfection. With such a home court advantage you will extract every bit of quality from the beans and I guarantee that with using the La Specialista Maestro you will brew the most amazing espresso you have experienced – and you will have done it yourself!

This is the Lamborghini of caffeine delivery!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mama mia! I am going to get so much done now that I can make espresso at home. I am in LOVE with this machine.
I have always loved coffee, but only recently decided to take my affinity for these little roasted beans to the next level. LaSpecialista is phenomenal. This is the first high end machine I've invested in, and it does not disappoint.
Everything is essentially self-contained. The beans grind automatically, and the selection of different drinks is vast - espresso, coffee, Americano, cappuccino, latte, and flat white. As a novice, it was a tiny bit intimidating, but after reading the manual step-by-step, it's all manageable.
The machine itself is super sleek, and it LOOKS high end. If you're a newbie like me, be sure to measure your under cabinet height. It's just a tiny bit too tall to fit under my upper kitchen cabinets. Luckily, I have space on the counter where there are no upper cabinets.
After a small learning curve, it gets easier and easier to operate. I 100% recommend this machine to coffee lovers ready to ip their game. I might even be inspired to learn Italian!
