The De’Longhi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine is a unique and well-designed machine. I am truly impressed by how luxurious it looks all around. The machine may look complex at first, but it’s not as complicated as it seems with the manual/guide provided. It offers a variety of specialty selections to perfect the best beverage that I want. Depending on how light or dark the roast is, the dose, grind and temperature will also vary. The machine is quite simple to clean and comes with a descaling feature as well. Overall, this is a highly quality espresso machine that I’d definitely recommend, especially to those who frequently drink coffee.
