De'Longhi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine with Cold Brew, Commercial-style Steam Wand for Latte, Cappuccino, Built-in Grinder, EC9555M

Easy to use. Very versatile; espresso, americano, coffee, cold brew, and steam wand all work wonderfully. Not too loud. I do wish it had a removable hopper. Comes with a steaming pitcher that was too small for me.Has required monthly descaling but our water is very, very hard.

That’s it, that’s the review.This makes perfect espresso and the foaming wand is great. Probably one of the top purchases we’ve made. It’s built like a tank, easy to figure out after a few goes, and frankly I think it’s a deal if you get it on discount. Get it.

This review is only for the product itself.Everything was amazing until Machine stopped working after the VERY FIRST descaling ( after about 3 weeks of use).I followed the descaling process included in the manual ( the process itself is very straight forward and easy to follow), what happened is when the descaling process is done, in stead of the machine being ready to use - what I had is "hot water" button permanently on.According to the manual, to "solve" this problem we need to "re-set" the machine by pressing the "hot-water" button and that's where my frustration came from - the "hot water" button is deadly permanently on doesn't matter what you do.

I so enjoy making my own espresso cold coffee drink! I can't wait to learn how to different drinks with it! Only downfall is it's cheaper now than when I bought it. But still well worth the money!

I absolutely love this machine! However, because I don't have the counter storage or height it requires I had to place it on a makeshift stand. I made an espresso and an Americano. It was dekicious and relatively easy to use. sadly I simply don't have the room and a makeshift stand doesn't work esthetically. So make sure you measure you space!

This coffee maker makes delicious coffee, looks lovely in my kitchen and it’s quite easy to use. Also, maintenance has not been difficult in terms of cleaning it. We were easily able to access assistance by calling the 800 number when we were setting it up. Not difficult.The one problem we’ve had is that the steamer tends to overheat the milk and forms bubbles instead of froth. We have only had it for about two months, but no problem so far other than the frother.

I was very nervous to spend this much money on a latte machine.My wife talked me into it and she did not have to work too hard. Lol.It works very well, was easy to setup, and easy to use. Keep your manuals around. I have to look a few things up to verify what the display notices mean.You will enjoy. I have to admit I am keeping track of how many lattes I have made and will continue keeping track until the unit has paid for itself.

You cant go wrong with De'Longhi, it's like Ferrari in the world of the coffee machines..
