The LaSpecialista Maestro Espresso machine is by far the best coffee machine that I have ever used. It is simple to use and makes great tasting coffee every time. The aroma of the freshly ground beans from the smart sensor grinding technology only adds to the excitement and pleasure in using this machine. The best feature are the various ways that the milk frothing and active temperature controls add to the coffee to make great tasting lattes and espressos.
