Perfect gift for my husband he loves it. Loves grinding the coffee beans and without a doubt makes a better latte or Americano than you can buy in any cafe. It looks great on the counter top too, very stylish. But then you can't go wrong with De' Longhi. Very pleased. Thank you

Looks good but I found it difficult to operate despite watching the video which was stylish but not helpful to explain how to set it up and use. I spoke to customer service but, despite holding for 30 mins agent did not know my machine and couldn’t help! He did email the instructions (not in box) and arranged for a new water tank to be sent as the one I received leaked as the valve was not working! I am sure that, once I have studied the instructions, I will be ready for my barista certificate !

that's exactly what I dreamed of

A fantastic machine so easy to use. When setting up machine would advice using online instruction manual the manual it comes with isn’t brilliant.

Great espresso machine. Easy to use. Have upgraded from a Nespresso and the coffee it produces is definitely an upgrade.

Absolutely fantastic, a wonderful piece of machinery.

Excellent product. A replacement for a similar product, the previous one was made by Sage. This new one is much better. Quieter and makes better coffee.

We purchased this to replace our 10yr old De'Longhi Primadona which had finally given up after making 1000's of cups of delicious coffee for us, friends and family. We decided to keep to the same brand due to our positive experience and online reviews. However we fancied a change of look and liked the colour and style of the La Specialista Arte. We have had some fun setting up and tweaking the settings, ie grind and dose level, and practising our tamping skills which was new to us( as our last coffee machine was automated). We finally have the pressure valve hitting the optimal zone :). Now just to hone our frothing skills. Overall we would recommend La Specialista Arte as we have found our coffee to be as equally delicious to the Primadona we were used to. The best pricing we could find was AO and we have enjoyed the benefits of being an AO member!
