Thank you De’Longhi for letting me try the La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine. This machine is super easy to use and to produce a high quality espresso drink! You can make a variety of different espresso drinks (latte, americano, cappuccino, etc) plus cold brew. The machine makes it easy to save your customized settings and reuse them. I have been using this machine to make hot and iced lattes. This machine also self grinds the beans and has a milk frother with auto and manual settings. I have noticed the frother doesn’t work as well, as my milk is not getting as foamy as I would like. Overall, I am loving using this machine and it has become a staple in my everyday coffee routine!

An elegant and beginner-friendly powerhouse that t
As someone who’s never owned an espresso machine before, I was a bit intimidated at first. However, the La Specialista Touch is incredibly beginner-friendly! I loved the touchscreen, it literally holds your hand through the process. It provides a step-by-step instructions for grinding, tamping, and brewing! Within my first days, I wasn’t just making espressos; I was successfully making Americanos, Long Blacks, and even my first Capuccino. It’s huge confidence booster! I once helped out as a barista at my local church, and I quickly learned that manual milk steaming is an art form that’s hard to master. This machine solves that problem entirely with its automatic steaming system. You just place the milk in the nice-looking metal milk jug, set the handle to Automatic, and tap start. The result? A nice, creamy foam that makes my morning cappuccinos feel professional. A nice plus is the self-cleaning cycle that runs when you turn the wand off, though you’ll still want to give the exterior a quick wipe with a moist towel. The machine is very stylish and became a center piece for our new coffee table. Beyond the looks, we can now make a variety of drinks like: espressos & americanos, tall blacks, cappuccinos, and our personal favorite: affogatos! While my experience has been overwhelmingly positive, there are two minor quirks worth noting: - The grinder can be messy: even with the dosing and tamping guide attached, the grinder occasionally throws coffee outside the portafilter. Not a deal breaker by any means, but don’t like seeing good coffee go to waste. - Portafilter locking: I sometimes find it tricky to lock the portafilter into the brewing position. This might be “user error” as I get used to the mechanics of a home machine, especially since I didn’t have this issue with the more industrial machine ay church. But it’s something to be aware of during the learning curve My final verdict: this is a premium, high-quality machine that bridges the gap between manual control and automatic convenience. It’s perfect for someone who wants the “barista experience” without a steep learning curve. It’s reliable, stylish, and most importantly, it makes amazing coffee! I’m loving it so far, and hope it stays a staple of our kitchen for a long time!

Barista style experience at home
I’ve been using the De’Longhi La Specialista and I’m honestly obsessed. We used to have a smaller Delonghi coffee machine and it’s such an upgrade! Fresh-ground espresso every time thanks to the built-in grinder, and the coffee comes out smooth, rich, and full of flavor with the crema foam😍 It’s super easy to use but still gives that barista-style experience at home. The milk frother makes the creamiest lattes and cappuccinos, and everything tastes like it came straight from a coffee shop. Plus, it looks so good on the counter—sleek, sturdy, and premium. If you’re a coffee lover like me and my husband, want café-quality drinks without leaving the house, this one’s a must ☕️✨ 10/10!

Café-Quality Coffee at Home
love this espresso machine! The touchscreen makes it super easy to use, even if you’re not a pro, and the espresso comes out rich and smooth every time. The built-in grinder is a huge plus, and the cold brew feature is perfect for iced coffee days. Milk frothing is simple and consistent too. It feels like having a café setup right at home—definitely worth it for coffee lovers.

Great espresso drinks
The coffee shop is in our house with this machine! We’ve taken homemade espresso, lattes, hot tea, cold press and hot cocoa to the next level all in the comfort of our own home. The set up took about 30 mins and had a bit of a learning curve. After that, it’s been smooth sailing and fabulous drinks. Stock up on your favorite flavor syrups and the possibilities are endless.

Gorgeous User Friendly Espresso Machine
I am loving this DeLonghi La Specialista Touch espresso machine! It is my first foray into having such a sophisticated machine. I would honestly be lost trying to use a machine that is entirely manual with my novice skill level. This machine with the touch screen is a perfect hybrid. I have been successful making espresso and cappuccino, and look forward to broadening my knowledge and using the cold brew setting next. It did require a bit of both reading the manual and the quick start guide to be successful, as well as watching a helpful video or two. However, the touch screen takes you very clearly step by step to walk you through set up. It took me a while to feel comfortable using it, but I’m sure someone more experienced would find it very self explanatory. It also looks gorgeous in my kitchen and on my countertop. All in all, I am looking forward to more of my home barista training, and also saving money by making perfect coffee at home.

DIY barista!
This is such a fun product for my morning caffeine. It is so easy to setup and clean. It’s clear and simple to operate. The ability to adjust so many preferences, including temperature, is luxurious. This is a pricey machine but it more than pays itself off since you are able to make custom, coffeehouse house at home.
