Customers are enthusiastic about the La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine, highlighting its ability to make high-quality espresso and its ease of use. The built-in grinder and steam wand are also well-received features. While the design is appreciated, some find the price and the water tank's placement to be drawbacks.
With 15 settings, the built in grinder ensures the optimal grind size for every roast level of coffee beans, single or double dose. The Italian made grinder uses Sensor Grinding Technology to deliver a precise, consistent dose of freshly ground coffee even when the grind settings are changed.
This commercial-style steam wand heats up quickly and delivers the right steam pressure needed to create consistently smooth micro-foam, optimal for latte art right at home. Achieve the perfect milk texture with milk or your favorite milk alternatives, such as oat, soy and almond.
La Specialista Opera has a 19 bar Italian pump that delivers perfect pressure, which is essential during the brewing process, from low pressure during pre-infusion, to the optimal 9 bar of high pressure during extraction.
Smart Tamping Technology eliminates the guesswork and mess when tamping. Simply pull the lever to tamp and get consistent results with the correct 20kg of even pressure.
With 3 infusion temperature settings, Active Temperature Control technology ensures stable water temperature and control throughout the whole brewing process at the touch of a button. Customize temperature settings to match water infusion temperature to beans for the optimal attraction. Different coffee bean varieties with different roasting levels require their own specific temperature setting for the best extraction.
