De'LonghiLa Specialista Opera Espresso Machine with Cold Brew

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. The plastic supply for the manual cup so cheap that after 1 year o a deformation was causing a leak impossible to fix. This plastic is a entire piece, the machine body. Sold it for scrap after 1 year.

Great choice after a long research

I am a coffee drinker that likes it in all forms. I am one of those people who really does their research when I started looking for a espresso machine. I really liked what I read on the De'Longhi machines but it came down if I wanted a fully automatic or a manual espresso machine. The more I thought about it, I wanted a more "hands on machine". Right out of the box it was pretty straight forward with the instructions on setting up the machine. I have to say, just buy some local fresh whole coffee beans and try to make a few espressos. Trial and error I found is the best way. If there is any other extras I would get it would be a knock box and a scale. The scale will help to see how much you are actually grinding and can make adjustments. The knock box will keep things neat. Now all that being said, I am definitely a "newbie" in this venture but after about a week of using this machine it became very easy every morning to make wonderful drinks. Right now I have made routinely cappuccinos, cold brews and Americanos. All are outstanding and the money I have saved by not going to local coffee houses will pay for this espresso machine in no time So far this is a well bought investment that I will hopefully get years of incredibly made drinks, hot and cold brew.

Grounds for Celebration

I absolutely love my Delonghi Opera espresso machine. I use it multiple times a day, and it never disappoints. It’s very easy to operate; intuitive controls make it simple to go from beans to a perfect cup with minimal effort. The quality of the drinks is outstanding, whether I’m making a quick espresso, cappuccino, or latte. The machine is consistent, reliable, and feels solidly built. I also appreciate that it doesn’t take a lot of fussing to get professional quality results at home. It has become a part of my daily routine, and I honestly don’t know how I lived without it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves café-style drinks and wants a machine that’s both user-friendly and delivers on flavor.

Well made coffee machine

Beautiful machine. Once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect coffee everytime.

Great machine, makes great expreso would definitely recommend to my friends.

Just perfect

This is my first espresso machine and I am in love.

Hit with the Family

My family and I have been really loving this machine. I like that you have options other than espresso and that all of the different brew options taste great. Only downside so far is the cold brew option takes a while to run. I don’t mind it and it is still faster and easier than doing it at home and less wasteful since we don’t have cold brew every day.

Easy to maintain

We use it for more than five years, every single day, at least 3-4 cups a day. Very easy to maintain. We had no problem with it yet. The instructions are very easy, in case you encounter small problems. It also makes nice milk foam to do the latte art.
