The DeLonghi - La Specislista Arte Expresso Machine is easy to use and delivers an amazing shot of expresso.  I have a background as a barista from years past and this express machine compares to the quality of a commercial grade expresso machine.  I was very impressed at the quality of this machine.  I love being able to drink a latte in the morning before work.  The quick start instructions are easy to follow and have you making expresso drinks in no time.
