What It Does

This stylish machine equips you with the tools to craft custom espresso drinks all while keeping you in control of the process. The Italian-made burr grinder has 15 precise grind settings, developed to expertly grind all bean varieties in a single or double dose. The La Specialista Opera comes equipped with Smart Tamping technology, helping you achieve an even tamp and consistent extraction eliminating the guesswork and the mess. De'Longhi's proprietary Cold Extraction Technology allows you to enjoy the refreshing cold brew and espresso cool recipes in under 5 minutes.
  • Why We Love It

    La Specialista Opera features five convenient pre-set coffee recipes: Espresso, Americano, Cold Brew, Espresso Cool, and Hot Water. The Active Temperature Control allows you to select one of three temperature settings to match water infusion to beans for optimal extraction, allowing you to get the best flavor. The powerful, commercial-style steam wand heats up quickly, delivering the right steam pressure needed to create consistently smooth microfoam for latte art.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

I bought this roughly 3 weeks ago. It never worked out of the box. They are making me pay for the return charges to get a refund instead of sending me a new machine. Do not buy anything from this company, they are truly a dysfunctional mess. I'm sure they will respond to this review with an automated message explaining they are sorry. Pathetic experience

Delonghi la specialista opera

Beautiful looking machine, and well made. Only issue is the learning curve. You should not need a degree to operate a coffe machine.

Beautiful machine and functions really well!

We love this machine, it looks really nice and functions so well. The setup is pretty involved and it takes a bit of practice but once you’re up and running oh baby, she’s nice!! Worth the cost in our opinion :)

Restaurant Quality Vanilla Lattes

Our goal in purchasing this machine was to be able to make restaurant quality hot and cold coffees from home. We chose this machine specifically because it seamed to be the most user friendly. After approximately a month, we’re happy to report it meets all of our expectations and then some. We’ve enjoyed vanilla lattes each morning through the holidays. It’s heavenly!

Disappointment

I could not enjoy the long-anticipated coffee machine as it has arrived with a manufacture issue and had to be returned. The return process takes forever ( in my case over a month).

VERY Happy with My La Specialista Opera Purchase

After suffering with poor coffee made from a drip coffee maker at home for years (decades), or from paying the high prices for specialty coffees from our local shops, I finally decided to invest in an espresso machine. Three weeks ago I received the La Specialista Opera and, after just a few days of learning and dialing it in, I have been making amazingly delicious espresso-based drinks for me and my family! I feel like a barista! The Opera has been so wonderful and fun to use, and I am enjoying the creative process of grinding, pulling shots, etc. I certainly have a new appreciation for baristas at the shops and what they do to produce good coffee! Overall, a solid four stars for the features of this machine, the build quality, the ease of use, the variety of pre-programmed drinks, how precisely it grinds, doses, and produces great shots, and the professional grade, double-insulated steam wand. I held back one star because of two key features that I feel are missing (but are found on DeLonghi's competitor's equivalent machines). First, is the ability to remove the grinder's bean hopper to change-out beans, or to clean out the grinder. Without this capability, I have to waste beans whenever I want to switch between different beans. I have found that the best way to minimize this waste is to measure and load only the grams of beans that I'll need for each dose. It definitely defeats the purpose of the large hopper. Second, is a more fully articulated steam wand. I have found out quickly that it can be a challenge at times to get the frothing pitcher at the correct angles to froth the milk without bumping the pitcher against the machine. Other than that, though, I cannot say enough good about the Opera and I am VERY glad that I chose to invest in purchasing a DeLonghi. Every morning I look forward to--finally, enjoying great coffee!
