Exceptional performance, easy to use.
I am thoroughly impressed with the De’Longhi La Specialista Opera. This machine is a fantastic blend of precision and convenience, making it perfect for both coffee enthusiasts and casual users alike. The dual heating system ensures that my espresso and milk-based drinks are perfectly balanced in temperature, resulting in consistently great-tasting coffee. The built-in grinder with multiple settings allows for precise control over grind size, which is crucial for dialing in the perfect espresso shot. I was also impressed by the smart tamping station, which makes it easy to tamp evenly every time. The steam wand is powerful and produces silky, micro foam milk, perfect for latte art. I found the cleaning and maintenance to be a breeze with the provided tools. I also found the water consumption to be much less than similar machines. Overall, the La Specialista Opera offers exceptional performance and quality, making it a worthwhile investment for any coffee lover.

Barista quality coffee at home
I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment it arrived, I was impressed with the sleek and thoughtful packaging - unboxing was a breeze. As someone relatively new to the world of coffee making, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up and start using right away. My first attempts, a long black and a latte, turned out fantastic! The machine gives you the confidence to experiment and craft to your own taste. I love how you can control the grind, dose, and temperature to extract the best flavours from your beans, and the milk texture is perfectly smooth, making it easy to create that professional finish. I look forward to impressing my guests with barista quality coffee at home, or to make a cup of guilty pleasure all for myself!

High end manual coffee machine
The DeLonghi La Specialista Opera is a premium manual coffee machine that offers a blend of style, innovation, and control. With its stainless steel body, it’s visually striking and built to last. The machine features a built-in burr grinder with 15 settings and an integrated Smart Tamping Station, ensuring consistent and precise espresso extraction. Its 19-bar Italian pump, combined with Active Temperature Control, allows for optimal flavour extraction, catering to coffee enthusiasts who enjoy fine-tuning their brew. One of its standout features is the Cold Extraction Technology, which brews cold coffee in under five minutes, adding versatility beyond traditional espresso machines. However, this machine comes with a steep learning curve and its bulky design might not suit smaller kitchens. The steam wand cannot be used while brewing coffee which makes you wait. Overall, this is a solid investment for serious coffee lovers.

Barista made coffee at home
We have been using a pod coffee machine for years and had been discussing getting a manual machine. Reading the instruction booklet I was quite overwhelmed, it looked quite difficult but with a bit of practice I felt like a pro. It did take a little while to perfect the settings especially after only ever using an automatic pod machine. The multiple grind options and self tampering made it easy to create the best cup of coffee. Allowing you to choose the dose level and water temperature setting made it that much easier. There are specific coffee options espresso, long black and even hot water for tea. The milk frother was simple to use, still working on perfecting the latte art. It’s the best feeling having home made coffee taste like I had just brought it from the local coffee shop. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect coffee, no mess!
I love my coffee machine, such a great investment if you enjoy real coffee! It takes a few goes to set the perfect grind but once you get it right, (you'll know when there is a little crema on top) this will make you a no fail coffee. The tamp bar gives you the perfect tamp, no worrying whether you have applied the right pressure. You aren't left with the mess of coffee grounds over your bench. Learning is a breeze with videos provided on the website, customer service is prompt and helpful if needed. With every type of coffee programmed into the machine, set with the twist of a knob, everyone in the household is catered to. Friends are impressed when instead of asking if they want a coffee, you ask what type of coffee, just like a coffee shop. It also looks impressive on the bench. The only con is that the water tank is very dark, making it difficult to see the water level, luckily there is a warning light though.

Easy to use beginner coffee set up
If you like just a cup of coffee in the morning that’s not too fancy and don’t want to use a pod this is the way too go. Very minimal add ons or specialist coffee making equipment but as a basic machine works wonderfully

The best!!
I ended up buying this product for my partner but it was so good I have now claimed it for myself. You can expect great batista style coffee made from this machine with the creation of silky smooth milk. If you have your hesitations, don't, because this machine will start your morning off right with the tastiest coffee. Expect no mess and easy to use from it.

Delonghi la specialista opera coffee mac
The De’Longhi La Specialista Opera is a premium espresso machine offering a more hands-on, barista-style experience compared to the De'Longhi Rivelia, which is more automated. The La Specialista Opera comes with advanced features like a built-in grinder, steam wand, and smart tamping for precise coffee extraction, giving you more control over your brew. It’s perfect for espresso enthusiasts who want to fine-tune their drinks, but it requires more effort and practice. On the other hand, the Rivelia is easier to use and more convenient for everyday coffee drinkers who prefer a faster, less manual process. Both deliver great coffee, but the Opera suits those who enjoy the craft, while the Rivelia is ideal for quick, no-fuss brewing.
