Second Delonghi espresso machine, first one was Dedica Maestro plus. Grinder and tamping working good. I could not get machine to grind enough. Found setting to increase grind time. Works great. Read reviews water filter keeps floating. Haven't had that problem yet. Steamer is stronger that the Dedica. Milk temperature can heat up fast. i’m using a dark roast bean and grinding at five. do want a medium dark roast at four.

Machine works well and I like the fact that you have to select what size portofilter is being used. However, the tray seems to leak a bit and the steam wand does not have the same range of movement as my previous machine.
This machine is excellent. I have tried hot and cold settings and it comes out great. Finding good coffee beans that isn’t oily is harder. Grinder and press is great as well
Very easy to use and I’m very happy with the espresso it produces. It took me a short time to make the adjustments from making one shot to a double and now it’s just a quick change.
Absolutely i would recommend it to anyone. Great product that makes great coffee
Much improved version from the last one we had 7 years ago. Dosage level, coarseness level, temperature indication, milk foaming steam wand, better control portion, easier cleaning coffee portafilter all wonderful improvements, that makes such difference to enjoy making tasty cup of coffee!
Love it! Can’t say anything else. A joy to use and makes fantastic coffee.
I really like it! The hot water dispenser (to make americanos) can be a little splashy, other than that, I really like it!
Excellent machine! My son bought me this as a gift, and it produces high-quality espresso that will make you stop frequenting coffee shops! We did have an issue with it initially, but DeLonghi went above and beyond to first try and see if we could fix it on my end, and when it was deemed unfixable, to also get me a new machine. It came faster than expected as well, and I am going to assume that is because we are in the tristate area. Honestly, I think if you had to invest in a machine, you wouldn't be disappointed in this one. It's professional quality at home!
My new De’Longhi La Specialista Opera has completely transformed my mornings — and frankly, it has put my old Gaggia Brera to absolute shame. I thought my fully automatic machine was the pinnacle of convenience… until the De’Longhi showed up and said, “Hold my espresso.” This machine is unbelievably simple to use, yet it delivers barista-level results every single time. The espresso is rich and smooth, the cappuccinos are perfectly balanced with dreamy foam, and the Americanos are consistently delicious. It somehow manages to feel both sophisticated and effortless. What really seals the deal is how easy it is to clean. No complicated rituals, no mysterious parts, no daily negotiations with the machine. Just great coffee and a quick cleanup. Compared to my Gaggia Brera, which now feels like yesterday’s technology, the Specialista Opera is in a completely different league. Honestly, it’s become the best part of waking up each morning. If you want exceptional coffee, zero hassle, and a machine that makes you feel slightly smug about your life choices, this one is a total standout.
