So happy with our purchase. Machine is easy to use and makes amazing espresso and coffee drinks. Saving so much money by making my drinks at home. Even better that we got it half off on a daily deal promotion.

Wow. I freaking love this. The price tag seems prohibitive at first but once you use it, you’ll never go out for coffee again. I’m truly hooked. Everything is easy to use and understand. Be patient your first few tries pulling espresso. Practice and waste a few pulls to get comfortable- the guide that’s given isn’t very good as far as grind coarseness and dose level- use the guide for temp controls for sure. The pictures are what you need to look at- color and speed. I use the filtered water from my fridge to fill the basin- in my experience- if you have hard water- you absolutely want to use filtered water to reduce the amount of descalings you do. A++++++ product.

Produces Great espresso and crema. My only complaint is that it can't produce shots back to back, it needs a few minutes to cycle through. On the plus side it's highly customizable to give you the perfect grind size and amount and temperature.

Easy to use. Provides a perfect cup of coffee every time. The hopper is convenient as it holds the beans instead of having to continuously refill it. The water temperature for a hot cup of coffee is spot on. It’s saves time to have this all in one machine.

Reviews I read prior to buying were spot on - it will take a few attempts of trial and error to get it where you want it but after that it is a fantastic machine. Only reason not 5 stars is I wish the water reservoir was larger and the bean holder would be easier to clean out if you decided you want a different bean in the hopper you are pretty much stuck.

I was looking for an espresso machine for a long time. Doing the research and trying to understand the ins and outs of the tech associated to them. Quality, benefits and functionality were my main sell points. I finally decided to buy the D’longhi La Especialista, at Best Buy. Best. Desicion. Ever. Not only met my expectations but it’s truly a beautiful piece of machinery and a high quality artifact that delivers the most perfect brews in any style you want. Money well spent. Bye starbucks!
