The machine is very good. The box arrived a little damaged which caused stretches on the lid that covers the coffee beans compartment. However I contacted the company¡¯s customer service and they promptly sent me a replacement. It takes a little bit of playing around with the grind/dosing settings to get the perfect espresso at the right pressure, but I enjoy the process and in the end is well worth it. I do wish, however, that the steam wand was a little more powerful. It does take a bit to get milk to the right temperature. I am not a fan of the foam-creating accessory that comes with the milk jug. I just make foams manually and I think it is a lot easier that way. Overall, I would highly recommend the machine.

Bottom-line up front: I’ve owned this for a year and am very happy with my purchase. Dialing-in takes patience and (a lot of) trial and error. It really does make a superior espresso to many of the over-rated coffee shops in your hometown. I hesitate to buy coffee anywhere now.
Long-form: I bought the La Specialista Maestro after comparing it to super automatic and semi-super automatic machines. My comparison shopping consisted mostly of YouTube videos, web reviews, and a visit to a Williams Sonoma. I did not do any taste testing; however, I doubt that other automatic machines that cost more will produce a noticeably superior cup once you get your La Specialista dialed in properly.
Speaking of dialing-in, it does take trial and error and patience. Once you figure out the settings for the types of beans you’re using (hopefully fresh), it is pretty easy to adjust once you get a new bag or roast of comparable type. It took me about a month of constant tinkering to really get this the way my wife and I both like our espresso and espresso-based drinks. The included literature is your friend here. Many of the YouTube videos I watched on dialing in or using La Specialista machines were not that helpful.
Set-up and routine maintenance are pretty straight forward. Again, the included literature is your friend. I appreciate the dummy lights reminding me to descale and to perform other tasks.
I’m very satisfied with the Maestro. After a year of ownership, I really have no complaints and would probably buy it again if it became irreparable outside of its complimentary extended warranty period. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen though, because I like using it.
Things you probably know but are worth reiterating here: (1) weight could be an issue for some people and (2) overhead cabinet clearance could be an issue in some kitchens. An extra set of hands and a tape measure could come in handy.
Things I don’t like: First, the DeLonghi videos online show a different menu of milk-based drinks than the North American version. Some overseas markets have a Latte Macchiato (milk first then coffee) function whereas the North American version just has a latte function (coffee first then milk). The difference seems trivial, but I would prefer the macchiato setting to the latte setting. Second, the milk settings for the automatic milk frother are not adjustable, just the coffee and temperature. I would like the ability to have manual control over the automatic milk frother. The second issue is my biggest gripe, but it isn’t a deal breaker to me.

We got this machine during Christmas holiday at a discounted price. The first machine that came, had an issue with frothing milk, not enough pressure to create the creamy milk – easy return with Amazon. The second one was good, it works as a charm. We are very happy with this brand and model. We like the semi-automatic tamping and the automatic Latte Crema system (even though we are using most of the time the steam wonder).
Great coffee, professional looks, we are recommending this machine however, look when it goes in sell. It is pretty expensive otherwise.

I bought this to replace my La Specialist and I’m happy I did. It’s bigger and seems to be better quality. Love this thing

I just got this machine about a month ago. Right off the bat it is beautiful to look at, well made with heavy steel and attractive displays. Even the sound of the grinder is like music.
The whole kitchen smells like fresh ground coffee, the settings are easy to get right, the steam wand is powerful and fun to use. Most importantly the coffee drinks are so damn delicious – which is what we are all after at the end of the day. My last Delonghi machine was still working after 13 years, but it was time for an upgrade to this magnificent beast. I’m hoping for another long love story with this machine
