    Great quality! No issues. Made great coffee every morning. I'm not going back to the regular coffee makers anymore.

    Best decision ever.

    I couldn’t be happier — I absolutely LOVE my Specialista! Not only does it look beautiful on my counter, but it works amazingly well. In the first 48 hours, I made over 50 different coffees (yes, really — I was that excited!). I made barista-style drinks for my family, tried different recipes, and even used it to make a batch of espresso martinis. It handled everything perfectly. I used to stop at Starbucks every single day for an iced latte. Since getting the Specialista, I haven’t had one. Now I genuinely prefer making my lattes at home — and it only takes a few minutes since the grinder is built in. Before buying this machine, I tried a few more affordable espresso makers and kept questioning whether it was worth spending the extra money. I finally took advantage of a Presidents’ Day sale and went for it. Best decision ever.

    Awesome Barista Quality

    This is an excellent espresso machine! It delivers quality espresso, as well as regular coffee, iced coffee and hot water, all at the turn of a switch. It is effectively consistent in its delivery of each of these beverages. The quality of the machine is excellent. I would recommend this product without hesitation.

    A Great Product!

    What a great machine! I've had this for two weeks now, and I'm in bliss! I have used other espresso machines, and this is by far the best and easiest. The automatic grind with auto-stop is priceless and simple to use; the portafilter fills perfectly every time, the espresso comes out quickly with an awesome flavor, the Americano I make for my husband comes out great too-- absolutely no bitterness in the coffee. The milk foamer heats up the milk to 150 f super quickly. My only advice for users is to run the steam want for a sec after heating your milk to clear the tube of any extra milk so it does not dry inside. Really in love with this machine!

Questions & Answers
  • I can’t get my coffee filter to lock in. Is there a specific way to do it? I and use it without this locked in and after spending that much money on it it’s not a great feeling. And the time for a return is over. 2 weeks is hardly time.

    Hello there! We are sorry to learn this is the case, but do not worry, in most cases we can solve this issue very easily. What we recommend is making sure the dose level of coffee is not over the limit line inside of the portafilter. If there is too much coffee it will be almost impossible to put the filter in from left to right, it should go in smoothly as possible.
