I love my new Delonghi La Specialista Arte Espresso maker. My girlfriend, daughter and I started playing with it and quickly learned how to use the settings to grind the beans, the dose level and the steam wand. It came with a barista kit that included a tamper and tamping mat. It also has two different size filters and can be used to make Americano and espresso. I feel like a professional barista when using this wonderful machine. And I make an awesome macchiato! Y’all should give this beautiful piece of equipment a try!
