Pros and cons

According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert

Grind fresh beans: you grind coffee beans yourself thanks to the included coffee grinder.
Froth milk yourself: you control the texture and temperature of the milk foam with the steam wand.
Coffee gets hot fast: you can quickly make a cup of coffee because the thermoblock heating system reaches the right temperature fast.
Not ready at the same time: you only froth milk after brewing coffee because of the thermoblock heating system.
No display: you can't see the status or the cycle time on the machine, and you'll choose the settings yourself with the buttons.

Our expert review

A user-friendly entry-level piston machine with all you need

You will immediately receive all barista tools.
With the tamping and dosing tool, you don't spill ground coffee and you push the coffee straight into the filter carrier.
The bean grinder grinds very fine.
The steam pipe can't move well, so you foam at an awkward angle.

The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte is ideal if you are getting started with a piston machine for the first time. It is very user-friendly and you get all the tools you need to make a cup of coffee. In terms of design, it is an eye-catcher on the counter and does not take up more space than necessary.

User friendly What strikes me is that this piston machine is pleasant to use. For example, you will receive a guide next to the machine with which you can set up the coffee machine completely. From preparing for use to setting up the bean grinder. Very nice if you are not yet familiar with these settings. The bean grinder is integrated into the device, so you don't have to purchase a separate bean grinder. You choose between 3 hot drinks, namely an espresso, americano or hot water.

Making coffee with the barista tools You make a cup of coffee with different tools. The box contains a tamper, tamping mat, milk jug, cleaning supplies, tamping and dosing tool. This means you get everything for the piston machine at home, except for a knock-out box. The tamping and dosing tool lends a hand when making coffee. This way I spill less ground coffee on the counter and I push the coffee straight into the filter carrier. You don't have to use the tool. This makes the piston machine suitable for both beginners and advanced users.

Set to your taste The quick guide tells you not only how to set up the machine for the first time, but also how to adjust the settings to your favorite taste. This way you can set the grinding degree, amount of coffee and temperature. You can choose between 8 grinding degrees, 30 settings for the amount and 3 temperature settings. The bean grinder grinds very fine, making a good espresso easier.

Frothing milk with the powerful steam pipe I find that the steam pipe has a lot of spice, so a powerful steam comes out and your milk is frothed in no time. The only drawback to the steam pipe is that it is difficult to change position. As a result, your freedom of movement is limited and you can only froth the milk in a few corners.
