Well made and easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic espresso machine–no barista experience required! I was hesitant to switch from my fully automatic espresso machine to a manual one, but it has been very easy to learn. It is fully customizable and easy to use, simply follow the instructions on the touch screen to create a preset drink, or make your own. It’s perfect for beginners as well. The milk temperature is customizable and it cleans itself. Maintenance is easy, but does require cleaning after each use. There are many drink options and it has been fun trying them all. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for an espresso machine. If you make coffee every day, this is an investment you won’t regret.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE THIS MACHINE!! I rarely give products a 5 star review but wow, this machine does it all. The on screen setup makes setting up the machine for first time such a breeze. It can feel intimidating when taking it out of the box, but the instructions are clear and concise. The espresso it makes is legitimately incredible tasting. There is nothing like espresso from fresh beans. The machine is so sleek and high quality and I love the look of it on my countertop. So glad I’ll be able to make my white mochas at home!!

Fancy espresso machine with all the gadgets you ne
on May 18, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off let me start by saying to program it is a good bit of work. You do have to test your water hardness and do a few other things to get the perfect cup of espresso. I don't know if this would be just a weekend machine for me or if this would be practical to use during the week as well. I will say it makes pretty great cold brew in about 6 minutes. The only thing is, I've yet to figure out how to make regular drip. I'm sure there's a way. I just haven't figured it out yet. I made my own frosted coffee by using the double cold brew feature, adding about 3 oz of ice, adding some vanilla syrup, and about 83 g. of ice cream. Add all of that to a blender and blend until it sounds smooth. I made one for my husband and one for me and they were both great. I would recommend this espresso machine to someone who is a coffee connoisseur. But for daily usage I don't know if it's practical.

Great for beginners
on June 18, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a modestly experienced espresso maker, I’m used to dialing in my fresh beans and frothing my own milk. This machine is great for newcomers to espresso, it holds your hand and tells you what to do at every step. It has a dialing in feature, where it tells you exactly what to do, and what to adjust if the coffee pours too fast or too slow. I found this did ok, I had one bag that it got perfect and then over the week the shots got worse and worse, despite the beans being fresh. But I had another bag it nailed right away and they stayed consistent. There are many drink options on the touch screen, and all are adjustable to your preferences which is nice. The auto froth feature for the milk does ok, it doesn’t really create microfoam for latte art but does make a nice cappuccino. I was able to get decent microfoam with the manual feature. I love that the frothing wand auto rinses after every use. The attachable collar for the coffee dousing works great, and there are marks on the tamp to help you adjust amounts without using a scale. I do wish the machine came with a distribution tool for before you tamp. The machine heats up super quick, which is so nice on busy mornings. The cold brew feature doesn’t exactly make what I consider cold brew, it tastes more just like iced coffee rather than that specific smooth flavor profile, but it is still tasty. I think this is perfect for the beginner, to learn about dialing in your shots and how different drinks are made. It’s a well made machine that looks pretty displayed too!

Easy to use and makes great tasting espresso

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great, easy to use espresso machine. I don’t have a lot of espresso making experience but the machine walked me through set up and made making great espresso at home easy. I like how it guides you how to make different types of drinks as well. Set up was easy and I will definitely be making my espresso drinks at home now.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a big fan of DeLonghi coffee machines and this one has blown my mind. Literally the only coffee machine you need as it makes everything. You have your choice between regular coffee, espresso, cappuccino, lattes, and more. Hot drinks, cold drinks, whatever mood you are in this will make you that perfect cup of coffee with just a press of a button. This even has an option for saved coffee settings so you can have your favorite coffee set and ready to go at anytime. This even cleans after you make your coffee and tells you when it’s time to empty the grinds. They definitely built the best coffee machine for me and my family. If you love coffee you need this machine!

I guess I need to open a coffee shop now
on May 28, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The De’Longhi La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine has completely transformed how I experience coffee at home. From the moment I started using it, I felt like a professional barista—minus the stress. It’s one of those rare machines that manages to be both incredibly capable and genuinely fun to use. The touchscreen interface is sleek and extremely responsive, making it feel modern without being complicated.
One of the standout things for me was how quiet it is. Even while grinding fresh beans and pulling a shot, it runs with an impressively low hum. That’s a huge bonus when you’re making early morning espresso and don’t want to wake up the whole house. And speaking of grinding—being able to use fresh ground beans at home with this level of precision is honestly unmatchable by any other device I’ve used. The built-in grinder and smart tamping system really do make a difference in both flavor and consistency.
The coffee itself? Absolutely delicious. Every shot comes out rich, smooth, and full of flavor, with just the right balance of crema. There’s also a surprising level of customization—you can fine-tune grind size, temperature, and milk texture to suit your preferences, which makes the experience feel deeply personal without being overwhelming.
Cleaning is also refreshingly easy. The machine gives clear prompts when it’s time to descale or rinse, and most of the components are simple to remove and clean. It feels like De’Longhi really thought about the daily rhythm of using this machine—not just the brewing, but the upkeep too.
All in all, the La Specialista Touch doesn’t just make great coffee—it makes the whole process something to look forward to. It brings a sense of craft and enjoyment to your daily routine, and it’s honestly hard to imagine going back to anything else.
