De'Longhi La Specialista, Barista Pump Espresso Machine, Bean to Cup Coffee and Cappuccino Maker, EC9155.MB, 1450W, Metal

Product Information

The My Latte Art wand was my favorite feature. It delivered consistently silky milk foam, making it easy for me to create beautiful latte art. Plus, it stayed cool-to-the-touch even after steaming. The obvious rival product here is Sage's Barista Express. That has a slightly higher recommended price, and has better build quality but it's harder to recommend for newbies and people who hate mess. Or at least until such time as Sage comes out with its own Dosing and Tamping Guide to take the mess and hassle out of filling a portafilter with ground coffee. The only downside to this machine compared to professional grade ones? You can't pull shots and foam milk at the same time. (But that's standard for at-home espresso machines.)

Don’t miss out on the perfect combination of the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB Espresso Machine and the Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend. Elevate your coffee brewing experience and indulge in the art of making exceptional espresso-based beverages. We were very impressed with the features of the machine and the contents of the box. Below is a bit of a breakdown of what you can expect: Our favourite thing about using the Arte was the degree to which we were able to control the flavour of our coffee by tweaking the method. The grind and dose volume helped us manage the pressure and flavour intensity, while the heat upped and downed the bitterness. One of my favorite features of this machine is the My Latte Art Milk Frother. The milk foam it produces is consistently silky, making it perfect for creating custom latte art. It’s a fun and creative way to start my mornings, and I love sharing my homemade latte masterpieces on social media. Additionally, the compact and stylish design of the machine fits perfectly in my modern living space, and the dishwasher-safe parts make maintenance a breeze. They offer a range of models to suit different needs and preferences, including dual boiler machines, manual lever machines, heat exchanger machines, and budget-friendly options.One thing the Arte is missing is a bean sensor to stop the grinding when the beans run out and allow you to add more beans before finishing dispensing. While not a common occurrence, it's frustrating to have to toss a partially run dose or try to guess how much coffee is in the filter because you don't know how far the machine got before hitting empty. Another excellent feature is the dosing control, which gives you fairly precise control over exactly how much ground coffee is dispensed at this stage. A line on the inside of the portafilter basket shows the 'perfect' level it should be at after tamping, which really takes out a lot of guesswork. If you enjoy a milk-based coffee (such as a cappuccino, latte or macchiato), then you’ll want to look for a bean-to-cup coffee machine with a milk frother.

The Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend is known for its aromatic, mild, and creamy flavor. It is the ideal choice for creating delicious espresso-based beverages such as cappuccinos and lattes with the De’Longhi Espresso Machine. The beans are expertly roasted to bring out the perfect balance of flavors and the crema produced by this blend adds an extra touch of richness to every cup. The compact and stylish design saved space in my kitchen and made maintenance a breeze. The detachable and dishwasher safe parts made cleaning hassle-free. Setting Grinder – The integrated 8 setting grinder is so handy because, let’s be honest, nothing beats freshly ground beans. Not only because it tastes so much better in your coffee, but few things beat that captivating smell, especially early in the morning. The settings range from very fine to a coarse grind, which you can select based on your preferences and the types of beans you use, and you can also set it to grind just enough beans for a single or double-shot so there is no waste. The milk frother worked well, even with non-dairy milk. While we couldn’t get our inner barista to create actual latte art, we were able to make tasty, silky, airy hot milk and really great tasting white coffees, and the included milk jug was perfect for a one-cup latte or two-cup cappuccino. Using Bezzera espresso machines in home settings is popular due to their impeccable quality and range of models. However, in commercial settings, the pros include durability and performance, while the cons include limited capacity and potential maintenance issues. What is the average lifespan of a Bezzera espresso machine?Pro-Tip: To extend the lifespan of your machine and ensure its optimal performance, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for regular cleaning and maintenance. This will help prevent any build-up of coffee residues and keep your machine running smoothly. Barista Kit for Professional Tamping The perfect grinding capability with 8 grind settings really impressed me. It ensured that all my bean varieties were optimally prepared for extraction. While it requires skill and practice to control brew temperature, it provides excellent temperature stability through the E61 group head.
