Description
The De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro is a flagship manual espresso machine for home baristas who want real control over every cup. A stainless steel burr grinder with 15 settings, a built-in dose sensor and the Smart Tamping Station take care of the fiddly steps, while Active Temperature with PID control and five infusion temperatures help you get the best from each bean.
Choose from eight pre-set drinks, including Flat White, Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato, or texture milk yourself with the cool-touch My LatteArt steam wand. The LatteCrema Hot carafe froths milk automatically when you want a hands-free cappuccino, and Cold Extraction Technology makes Cold Brew in under five minutes plus De'Longhi's exclusive Espresso Cool.
What stands out
Precision grinding
The integrated grinder uses durable stainless steel burrs with 15 grind settings for a single or double dose, so you can match the grind to your beans.
Smart Tamping Station
Pull the lever to tamp the coffee straight into the portafilter with even pressure, for a consistent puck and far less mess.
Stable brewing temperature
Active Temperature with PID control holds the water temperature through extraction, and five infusion profiles suit different roasts. Dynamic pre-infusion adapts to the dose for an even extraction.
Fast heat-up
The Advanced Thermoblock has the machine ready in under 20 seconds.
Two ways with milk
The cool-touch My LatteArt steam wand creates silky microfoam for latte art, or let the LatteCrema Hot carafe do the frothing for you.
Cold Brew in minutes
Cold Extraction Technology makes a refreshing Cold Brew in under five minutes and unlocks the exclusive Espresso Cool recipe.
Eight pre-set drinks
Espresso, Americano, Coffee, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Flat White, Cold Brew and Espresso Cool are a button press away.
