Makes operatic coffee.
We bought this a month ago to replace our 11 year old Delonghi Eletta. Despite Melbourne having the best coffee, it still doesn't compare to the lattes we can make on our La Specialista Opera. Now, we refuse to drink coffee anywhere else except for what we make at home on our La Specialista Opera. It's compact, easy to use, and looks great on our kitchen bench. I even installed new LEDs above it to show it off.

La Specialista Opera is fantastic.
After much research, we hit the bullet on the La Specialista Opera and we are ecstatic. Gorgeous, strong, wish coffee, time after time.
After spending a lot on the coffee capsules that deliver weak and watery coffee, this machine is a revelation.
We couldn't be happier.

Better than a Cafe
This is the second machine we have had, first one we got lasted five years before we updated to this one. Highly recommend. Self tapping = less mess. Easy to use, easy to clean. Looks good and most importantly the coffee always tastes better than a brought one . By far the most used appliance in my Kitchen.

Great machine! Worth every $$
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our coffee machine. We bought this after I had my firs child. We decided to invest in one due to the amount of caffeine needed . We did a lot of research and investigating and concluded in buying a Delongi Specialista. With growing up with a barista machine a mum with a coffee business I had to get something that was decent but didn’t cost a fortune. This machine has ticked all our boxes and we can’t fault it. If we could change one this we would get a silver one instead of black as it scratches very easy and shows but other then that the machine in itself is a dream to use and super easy for even my husband who has no barista experience prior to owning this machine.

First coffee machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this machine for about a month and we are enjoying the experience. After drinking instant coffee and constantly getting roasted( pardon the pun ) by our young coffee drinking children we took the plunge. This machine allows us to produce a very acceptable coffee with no prior experience and it is easy. No manual tamping is great. We are still making a coffee without all the fuss. It took a couple of cups to get the grind right for us . Now it is a quick and easy process to make the coffee.
