De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio

Product details

Have you always wanted to make the best coffee at home like a barista? Then the La Specialista is just right for you. This traditional coffee machine, with its beautiful stainless steel design, is perfect for espresso lovers who want to prepare their coffee effortlessly by hand. This manual coffee machine features a water tank and a built-in tamper that keeps your kitchen nice and clean. The grinder has 6 settings from fine to coarse, as well as built-in sensors that automatically adjust the grinding time for the perfect dose. With the hot water rinse button, you can preheat the filter holder and glass cup while also cleaning them. The best part is that this coffee machine uses 2 separate heating systems for brewing espresso and steaming milk, eliminating any waiting time between coffee and milk preparation. The La Specialista comes with 3 preset recipes - Espresso, Americano, and Coffee. Or create your own with the "My" button. Start preparing your drink by preheating the portafilter (and its pressurized basket) for better results. Attach the portafilter under the grinder and grind the beans to your desired size. Tamp the beans firmly with the built-in tamper and be amazed.

The very well-equipped portafilter machine from De'Longhi convinces in the test laboratory with also very good functional grade. We particularly like the grinder with portafilter closure and automatic tamper. No more coffee powder is lost.
