Love!!
I adore this machine. I love lattes and husband loves espresso. I couldn’t love it more. I had a drop coffeemaker for 25 years but decided to splurge on this and boy am I glad I did. Works exactly as it should – I have had for a few months and I haven’t had any issues. I will say it’s a bit of a pain to keep clean – I have to rise out the drip tray after using it – but I love it so much I’m willing to overlook it. Love the built-in grinder. I’ve had so much fun leaning to make lattes (lots of videos on tiktok and YouTube). It isn’t inexpensive but anytime I think about heading to Starbucks I think – why? This makes great lattes that don’t cost $7 each.

Excellent machine, truly cafe quality espresso/cappuccino in your own home
I was skeptical at first since what makes espresso so good at cafe’s is often the quality of the ‘engine’ and the pressure they are able to create during brewing. But this little machine punchs way above it’s weight class. I am something of an espresso snob and I can’t taste a difference between this machine’s espresso and a nice cafe.
There is a bit of a learning curve: Depending on the coffee brand you are using you are going to have to adjust the coarseness of the grind and you are also going to have to determine the proper amount of coffee per shot. (For me it’s usually 4-5 for grind and between 25-30 portion for the double shot cup). But once you firgure out the proper ratio’s it will hit the “optimal zone” in the pressure gage every time.
Perhaps the best part of this all-in-one setup is the steamer. I have worked in restaurants with nice steamers but I think this one may be the best I’ve ever worked with, believe it or not. There will also be a learning curve as you learn to steam coffee and how much milk froth/foam vs. steamed milk you want, but that can be learnt in a youtube video or two.
Thank you for reading. I think this is a great little espresso machine and if you are someone like me who cannot stand drip coffee and needs espresso and milk espresso drinks, this will be your new favorite appliance. You will save time and a bunch of money by bringing the cafe to your living room!

Amazing little machine!
While on a trip to Italy, I fell in love with espresso drinks. When I got home, I had to have my own machine so I could continue enjoying these coffee drinks without paying $6 – 8 for each one. (In Italy, they were usually only 1 or 2 Euros!)
When it arrived, it was easy to set up with clear instructions in the included booklet. Getting a good cup of espresso takes a little experimentation, along with good quality coffee beans and filtered water. Clean up is easy enough – and it is very important to keep up with this!
There are espresso machines that are less costly, but after reading many reviews on Amazon and other sites, this De’Longhi La Specialista is worth every penny.

AWFUL
Purchased in November 2023, worked pretty good for a month or so and then started having issues where it just wouldn’t pull a shot. It wasn’t too common so just sucked it up and figured it was random user error. Come May 2024, it was having issues almost every day and I contacted amazon who told me to contact Delonghi.
It was sent in for a “repair” where they found nothing wrong and sent the machine back. Still having the same issues and now Amazon is refusing to help at all. So now Im out $600 for a broken machine and no coffee.
DO NOT BUY

Very good coffee machine
This is the first time I bought this kind of advanced semi-automatic coffee machine. It is really beautiful, the ground beans are very fragrant, and the coffee is delicious. I bought 9555, which has a powder pressing function, which is perfect.

Great machine
Not happy with this machine at all! On/OFF switch doesn’t work unless you press it multiple times. The portafilter wouldn’t go in one morning when both of us tried over and over. Had to make Pod coffee just to have coffee. I had to descale the machine after 2 1/2 weeks. Then this morning the Americano setting only gave me water and no coffee. So I had to switch to expresso to brew the coffee. Then of course when trying it several hours later, it worked OK. Disgusted with this pot. Even though it went ON after 2x on a video call, it doesn’t change the fact that it took 6 X this morning.

Great machine. Easy to use

No longer need to buy coffee from a barista anymore. Looking forward to testing all the functionality

Preis-Leistung ist absolut gerechtfertigt! Man kann und muss(!) viele unterschiedliche Einstellungen ausprobieren. Auch als “Einsteiger” bekommt man ein sehr gutes Ergebnis hin. Die Bohnenwahl immer beachten, gute Qualität, gutes Ergebnis.
Let Me Say This: –
Let me tell you about my latest kitchen upgrade: the De’Longhi EC9255M La Specialista Arte Evo Espresso Machine. This isn’t just a coffee maker; it’s like having a personal barista who’s always on call, minus the hipster beard and the attitude. With the promise of crafting everything from a robust espresso to a smooth cold brew, it’s been like Christmas morning every morning in my house.
The machine itself is sleek, like it’s dressed to impress at a coffee connoisseur’s ball. And the cold brew function? It’s like discovering your dog can fetch the newspaperâit’s unexpected and delightful. The espresso it produces has enough kick to wake up a hibernating bear, and the flavor is as rich as my imaginary future as a lottery winner.
Is it the best espresso machine out there? I can’t say for sure, because I’m too busy enjoying my home cafe experience. It’s like this machine has cast a caffeinated spell over me, and now I’m whipping up coffee creations I didn’t even know I craved.
Would I recommend it? If you’re looking to add a little flair to your morning routine and expect your coffee to be dressed in its Sunday best, then absolutely. Just be warned: You might become a coffee snob, and there’s no going back.
