This De'Longhi Specialista Automatic Espress Machine, is the Machine that I have been longing for, and I am so much enjoying making the coffee beverages I made, I worked at Starbucks as a Barista.  I Highly Recommended anyone who is a Coffee Connoisseur, considering that you have to throw out the processed coffee grounds. But it does come close the Authentic Espresso Machines, verses having to measure the right amount of coffee, it knows how much coffee to dispense whether you're making a Doppio or Single Shot. This is the Espresso Coffee Machine of my Dreams, and I don't regret not one thing about it.  - Vincenzo B.
