Absolutely Incredible Machine – Perfect for Beginn
on June 8, 2025
Posted by: christines333_1083
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant for a long time to switch from my fully automatic espresso machine to a manual one, mainly because I had no idea where to start. But this machine completely changed that for me. The intuitive touchscreen coaches me through every step—from dialing in the perfect grind to frothing milk just right. It even asks for feedback on how the brew tastes and offers suggestions for adjustments. An additional perk is its compact size for my countertop.
What really sets this machine apart is how user-friendly it is. It saves multiple grind and brew profiles, so I can have my own settings while my family has theirs. It’s not fully automatic, but it’s so simple and interactive that even my 7- and 10-year-old kids have learned to make their own lattes in under 10 minutes. It makes the BEST brew that I’ve had,They’ve become little baristas and absolutely love it!
If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend!

Great machine but wastes a lot of coffee beans on dialing in the grind for your coffee. Couldn't get a balanced flavor, coffee was always bitter or sour no matter the coffee beans and after you dial it in the grind amount. You cant remove the hopper to clean it. Requires a lot of maintenance cleaning including after it purges from the steam wand and any coffee grinds that fall into the drain tray. If you dont clean the drain after a day or two mold will produce immediately, something to keep in mind.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from De'LonghiBy De’Longhi Customer Service, July 10, 2025
Thank you for your review and feedback, Ashraf! We are sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations this time. Please note that you can control the quality and flavor by following the next recommendations: The grind size directly affects the extraction process. A finer grind increases the surface area of the coffee, leading to a slower extraction and a stronger, more intense flavor. Conversely, a coarser grind results in a faster extraction and a milder taste. Adjusting your grinder helps you control this balance to suit your taste preferences. For a coarser grind, turn the knob to a higher number while grinding the beans. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. If this suggestion does not help, please feel free to chat with a Live Expert at: https://www.delonghi.com/en-us/delonghi-support - click to chat at the bottom right. We value you as our customer and look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the endless combinations and the auto bean grinder. Haven’t had to clean yet but easy to clean between uses. Great coffee and love the simplicity of the touch screen.

La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine from DeLongh
on May 13, 2025
Posted by: hka_511
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] La Specialista Touch is the best all-in-one coffee machine that let you make high-quality coffee-shop-style coffee at home without breaking banks. Literally a total game changer! It’s super easy to use with the touchscreen and makes amazing espresso, lattes, and cold brew in minutes. The automatic frother is perfect for getting that creamy, coffee shop-style foam. It is surprisingly compact for all the features it packs in. Maintenance is easy and cleaning it is a breeze compares to orher espresso machines like Nestle. Design-wise it makes my kitchen counter look so bougie!

A Starbucks Experience at Home
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: sanzjose_5678
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the De'Longhi La Specialista for about a month now, and I’m genuinely impressed. As someone who loves good coffee but isn’t a professional barista, this machine strikes the perfect balance between ease of use and hands-on control.
One of my favorite things is how it walks you through each step—from grinding to tamping to brewing—making it very beginner-friendly without feeling too automated. It gives you the feel of making a true espresso without overwhelming you with complexity. Plus, the machine itself is compact, which is great if you’re working with limited counter space.
The built-in frothing options are a huge bonus. I love that it includes both an auto-frothing function and a manual steam wand, depending on how involved you want to get. Whether I'm making a quick latte or practicing latte art, it’s up for the task.
Yes, it can be a bit loud while grinding, but it hasn’t been a deal-breaker for me. It’s a small trade-off for the quality and convenience this machine offers.
Overall, the La Specialista makes me feel like I have a mini Starbucks in my kitchen. It’s a fantastic option for at-home baristas or anyone looking to step up their coffee game without diving into the deep end of fully manual machines.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is the Lamborghini of coffee makers! It has been the biggest hit in my household. From the sleek design to the amazing touchscreen, it practically makes the coffee itself for you! It walks you through every step of whichever type of coffee you are making from getting the perfect grind of the beans all the way to the absolutely amazing auto-frothing!
