As owners of La Specialista are given intricate control over the entire brewing process, this euphoric espresso experience starts with roasted coffee beans that are ground with meticulous precision. Instead of time-based grinding used by other espresso coffee machines, De’Longhi’s innovative Sensor Grinding Technology automatically alters the grind duration to ensure you brew the ideal amount of coffee for each cup. Through a series of built-in sensors and six grinding settings – ranging from fine to coarse – La Specialista recognises that every type of coffee bean is different.

Alongside this rigorous grinding process, this state-of-the-art home espresso machine appreciates how important tamping is to the process of pulling the perfect coffee. Located in a convenient position on the side of La Specialista, this simple tamping solution helps owners pack their grounds evenly with the right amount of pressure to generate a stellar espresso shot. Plus, the smartly designed feature means you won’t end up spilling coffee grounds all over your kitchen.

The creation of splendid espresso also requires the water temperature to be just right. Fortunately, La Specialista’s Active Temperature Control uses two individual heating systems to deliver the optimal extraction. This high-end De’Longhi coffee machine also features the Advanced Latte System, which produces the ideal heat needed to create velvety milk froth. This independent heating structure eliminates the waiting time between coffee and milk preparation. 

The La Specialista comes equipped with three preset recipes for Espresso, Americano and Coffee, while there is also the customisable ‘my’ button that allows you to have your favourite drink prepared to your desired aroma strength and preferences. This sense of convenience extends to cleaning the coffee machine, with the drip tray suitable for dishwashers and the steam nozzle easy to remove and wipe down. 

If you consider yourself a passionate coffee drinker, owning an espresso machine that carefully considers every aspect of the brewing process is a must. With La Specialista’s cafe-inspired stainless steel design adorning your benchtop, pouring yourself an authentic espresso every morning or afternoon is bound to put a smile on your face.
