From Espresso to Cold Brew in Minutes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A True Café Experience at Home – with Cold Brew Magic
As a long-time coffee lover, I’ve tried a fair few machines over the years, but the De’Longhi La Specialista Maestro really does live up to its name. From the moment you unbox it, the machine feels premium — solid stainless-steel build, sleek design, and a control layout that’s both professional-looking and surprisingly intuitive.
☕ Coffee Quality
This machine delivers exceptionally rich and flavorful espresso with thick, golden crema. The integrated grinder offers a good range of grind settings, and the automatic tamping takes out a lot of guesswork while still giving that barista-like experience. Whether you’re pulling a shot of espresso, making a long black, or frothing milk for a cappuccino, the results are consistently excellent.
But what really sets it apart is the Cold Brew and Espresso Cool functions — game changers! Cold brew in under 5 minutes is impressive, and the flavor is surprisingly smooth and sweet, without the acidity you’d expect from a quick brew.
🧑🍳 Ease of Use
While this is a manual machine, it strikes a great balance between control and convenience. The smart tamping station, clear LCD display, and dedicated drink buttons make the whole process smoother. It even guides you through the ideal settings. There is a bit of a learning curve at first (especially dialing in the grind size), but once you’re set up, it’s very rewarding.
🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance
Daily cleaning is manageable — the drip tray and milk system are easy to remove and rinse. I did notice some splashes during brewing, but raising the drip tray or using a taller cup helps. A bit of upkeep is to be expected from a machine of this level, and it’s worth it.
