Customer Ratings & Reviews

The grinder would not produce a useable expresso grind. The store staff is great! I was able to return it for the Breville. Wow what a difference!!

Loved….I enjoy having coffee with my new espresso machine!

Nice maxhine, make barista coffee at home. Customizable

I like it. A little bit I have to learn and practice, but machine is great so far.

I love this espresso machine, the automatic tamping and the hot water spout are so convenient

Best Machine Ever. A must for any Coffee/Cappuccino/Espresso Enthusiast

Great Product, Just Love it !!!! The Best Coffee made

I had to return the first one, I could not get out of descaling mode. Now the new one works fine.

A bit more manual but coffee is hot while others only give you warm coffee

I’m happy with this product, has been using every day since purchase

Best espresso machine ever there’s no mess when I fix my coffee

Amazing, not sure why I waited so long to buy this.

Very fast sweet expresso capuchino americano maker couple of second

This one I will be returning soon because it doesn’t have much options like double shot coffee or espresso function. I do not recommend this item to buy paying $899 + tax. This product is worth to pay $299 but nothing more

it is a great machine which we love to make out espresso every day.

For sure, the best coffee machine for the price range 600-800

After the 3rd time returning this item I decided to try a different brand. There is always something wrong with it ;(

What a machine! Took us a moment to figure it out but once we did! Oh man this is the machine to get. The absolute best cappuccino I have had.

I’ve been a K Cup user at home for many years and have always been happy with it. For higher-end coffee I would venture out to the local Starbucks or higher end coffee houses. That has all changed since receiving my De’Longhi Las Speicalista Prestigio Espresso Machine with Dual Heating System. Now I’m able to enjoy top-shelf espresso and coffee drinks at home! When initially opening the box, my first impression was it’s a big unit and there are a lot of pieces and parts. I was a little hesitant until reading through the directions and starting the setup process. Although it is a relatively large unit, it was quite simple to setup and use with just a little guidance from the manual, online resources and practice. I also ran a cleaning cycle before use. This is an impressive machine that is built with quality and looks great at the same time. It is perfect for home or office use based on the quality and ease of use. In the box is the system itself, hardness test strips, a cleaning brush, descaler, single and double coffee filters and a stainless steel milk frothing jug. All you need to be up and brewing are beans and appropriate glasses. Using the system if relatively straight forward, the bean grinder is integrated into the top of the machine and has 8 different grind sizes. Proprietary Smart Tamping technology tamps perfectly every time to provide a more consistent extraction and it also keeps the mess down. There’s a number of settings on the face of the systems for dosage, 2X for a double shot, temperature control (3 levels, not specific temperature setting), tea or hot water selector, drink selection type (espresso, Americano and coffee), the OK or start button and “my” drink selector. The coffee output is so far off the charts from what I have been drinking over the years, I was actually a bit regretful that I hadn’t moved to a system like the Prestigio sooner. I’ve only tried two different beans so far but can say without a doubt the coffee drinks will rival any of the fancy coffee shops and in the long run will be much more cost effective as well. Pros: - Solid build of the machine and accessories – this system should last for years to come. - Single walled (non-pressurized) filter baskets create a much more rich and tasteful extraction. - Integrated bean grinder with 8 grind settings – fine tune your grind based on bean type/roast - Dual Heating System cuts down the time to create drinks including steamed milk, etc. - Double walled and insulated LatteArt Steam Wand is easy to use and protects against accidental burns and is also easy to clean. - Active Temperature Control – allows for dialing in the perfect temp for your specific brew. - Easy to Clean – removable spill tray and Smart Tamping technology alone help to make this the neatest machine I’ve ever owned. Cons: - Onboard grinder provides fresh ground flavor but limits the ability to change beans quickly…may be nitpicking on this one! Overall the De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio is an incredible system for producing “fancy” coffee drinks or the perfect Cup of Joe. It’s overall ease of use, combination of manual adjustability and programmability make it a great choice for home use by coffee lovers or a small office environment that needs a coffee upgrade. I can honestly say after using this system for just a few days, I am completely comfortable making most espresso/coffee drinks. My decoration skills need a little work, but I’ll get practice every day! The taste is definitely worth the purchase!

Too many gadgets to go wrong with this machine. You need to descale too often. Ours ended up not working at all. Not worth the high price
