Sleek, Smart, and Barista-Level - With Manageable
on May 13, 2025
Posted by: luizabiza_8152
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The De’Longhi La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine has elevated my entire morning routine. It’s not just beautiful on the counter—it’s genuinely functional with features that make brewing feel both luxurious and foolproof. The BeanAdapt Technology, built-in grinder, and automatic frother create barista-quality results every time, whether I’m making a latte, espresso, or cold brew.
One of the biggest surprises has been how user-friendly it is, even for someone who isn’t a coffee expert. The touchscreen guides you through every step, and the customizable recipes are a great touch. But beyond the brewing, I also appreciate that De’Longhi clearly thought about day-to-day use—including cleaning.
Maintenance & Cleaning:
Cleaning is straightforward and doesn’t feel like a chore. The machine prompts you when it’s time to rinse components, and the drip tray and used grounds container slide out easily for quick emptying. The milk frother has an auto-cleaning feature that flushes itself with hot water and steam—huge bonus for avoiding buildup. I also descale it monthly using De’Longhi’s descaling solution, which the machine walks you through with on-screen instructions. As long as you’re rinsing the parts regularly and wiping the exterior, it stays in excellent shape.
Bottom Line:
If you want café-quality drinks at home without the intimidation of a fully manual machine, this is a dream setup. Easy to use, reliable, and surprisingly simple to keep clean. It’s a premium experience with low-stress upkeep.

The Perfect Espresso Machine!
on May 23, 2025
Posted by: starb_8170
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is to die for! I was worried when it came in that it would be overly complicated as I am not very tech-savvy, however the set-up was extremely easy as the manual thoroughly explained each part and the screen gave very simply step by step instructions. It is perfect for a newer espresso machine user, as it lets you know if you need to grind the beans finer and how much to fill the portafilter. The automatic steamed milk wand is an added bonus for the perfect latte. I love how beautiful and sleek the machine looks on my counter.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is great I was looking for cold brew as summer is coming. I also like every feature from the bean grinder and how it instructions you to reach the max potential and the best coffee. It took me 2-3 tries to make the best extraction. Also the bean is very important. Find fresh beans and you will get the best coffee.

Absolute perfection!
on May 21, 2025
Posted by: issabelle_3415
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, let me start by saying this espresso machine is by far the absolute BEST coffee maker I’ve ever used! I am a huge coffee drinker and love a great coffee. I normally purchase Starbucks or Dunkin coffee’s but I’ve been making my own coffee at home for a week now since receiving this in the mail, and I’m loving it! You can customize the settings to your liking to create the perfect drink for your taste. You can choose from single shot espresso, to double shot espresso if you need an extra kick. The coffee maker isn’t too loud and brews quickly in under a minute. There’s self cleaning options to give you the extra comfort of keeping the machine extra clean. I was a little intimidated by this when I first opened it because the machine itself is fairly big and heavyweight and very fancy, but the instructions were so easy and after playing with it for a bit, I feel much more comfortable using it. I’ve made so many delicious coffees with it and so far they’ve been amazing! I love the espresso, I love the frothing options, it’s literally the perfect machine. Oh! And for all you iced coffee drinkers, there’s an ICED COLD BREW OPTION! This coffee maker has it all, it’s top tier perfection. This is going to save me so much money and allow me to invest a bit into buying my own quality ingredients to make amazing coffee in the comfort of my own home at a fraction of the price of going out and purchasing coffee elsewhere.

Promoted to Barista at home
on May 14, 2025
Posted by: kaylanf507_9257
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love espresso and all types of coffee and frequent the coffee shops for my morning caffeine fix, however that has all changed with this machine! I’ve turned into a barista and can make any cafe drink I want. This Delonghi La Specialista Touch espresso machine is a god send! After a very easy learning curve I’m making my own vanilla lattes at home. You can even do foam art with this machine (which I have yet to master, but give time). Pretty soon I’m going to have lines out the door for my lattes and macchiatos. I also love that you can save user profiles so when you’re half asleep you just click and go.

A coffee lover’s delight
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: timiras_8275
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice compact coffee machine which would be any coffee lover’s delight. It was very easy to put together- the instructions were pretty clear. I really liked the various brewing options and how you can customize and save your settings for the coffee you like. I had a party at home this weekend and everyone was truly impressed with this coffee machine as they could easily make their customized drink. I am yet to try the cold drink feature since the weather isn’t right for having a cold drink. The touch screen works very smoothly. I also liked how i could grind the coffee beans to my liking before brewing the coffee.
