Excellent machine
Makes good coffee, easy to use. High tech. My only complaint is the stainless steel tray is really shiny and scratches easily. But overall, good looking machine which happens to make great coffee

Instant Coffee? I’m Never Going Back!
I absolutely love my De’Longhi La Specialista\. I’ve gone from drinking four or five cups of instant coffee a day to having just two or three genuinely café\-quality coffees at home, and I honestly can’t imagine going back\. I was a little unsure about making the switch to a proper espresso machine, but I’ve found the La Specialista incredibly easy to use\. It makes the whole process feel simple rather than intimidating, and I love being able to make a really good coffee exactly the way I like it without having to leave home\. One of the biggest surprises has been the cold brew\. I didn’t expect to use that feature nearly as much as I do, but it is absolutely delicious and has quickly become one of my favourite things about the machine\. The coffee tastes fantastic, the machine is easy to use, and I’m drinking less coffee while enjoying it so much more\. Easily one of my favourite purchases — highly recommend!

Delonghi La Specialista
Great machine and easy to use. Coming from the manual process every morning La Specialista has improved my daily routine and the consistency of my coffee. Saving my settings for a one button process would make it the perfect machine.

Helpful staff and good price
This product was purchased for a future gift so not yet used, however after doing some research and speaking to staff, I found that this coffee machine offered some excellent additional features at a great price. Features including cold press, automatic or manual milk frothing and digital screen. The item is also compact and will fit within limited space areas. The stainless steel surface looks good and is also resilient to marking. Happy with the purchase.

One of the best coffees I’ve tasted
Easy to use- I make lattes- adjusting bean grind and dose is easy and auto frother makes perfect milk every time. I’ve used 3 different machines and this is the best- by a long shot!

Coffee in no time
This is my first coffee machine i’ve ever bought. Purchased as a gift for my husbands birthday and i’ve now also converted to drinking coffee. Positives - Good value easy to set up and use (after adjusting the grinder) Touch screen commands - so easy and i love visuals. Lots of different coffee options available and the ability to add your own. Personalise a few options to your liking. looks nice and not overly big. Negatives - can’t think of any yet Overall- very happy with this choice of machine as our first one.

At a glance
The DeLonghi La Specialista Touch is a premium manual coffee machine for households that want fresh-bean espresso, milk drinks, and cold brew with more guidance than a traditional manual setup. Its integrated grinder, touch display, Bean Adapt Technology, and Auto LatteArt wand make daily use approachable. It is especially strong for varied drink menus, though it offers less manual steaming control than specialist prosumer machines.
What it’s great for
- Daily Espresso
- Milk-Based Coffee
- Guided Home Barista Use
- Cold Brew at Home
- Multi-Drink Households
Where it works best
- Home Kitchen
- Family Household
- Apartment Kitchen
- Entertaining Area
Who it’s for
- Home Barista Beginner
- Busy Household
- Espresso Lover
- Milk Coffee Drinker
- User Upgrading from Capsule Coffee
Things to consider
It is more guided and automated than specialist manual espresso machines, so experienced users wanting maximum control over steam technique and café-style workflow may prefer a more prosumer-focused model.
Barista experience suitability
Guided manual espresso with automated milk texturing
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - automated milk texturing, included cleaning tool, and guided dosing accessories help reduce mess and simplify upkeep.
Beginner friendliness
9/10 - touch guidance, pre-set drinks, Bean Adapt support, and automatic milk frothing make it approachable for new home baristas.
Counter space suitability
6/10 - practical for most kitchens, but the integrated grinder and full feature set mean it takes more bench space than compact espresso machines.
Noise level vs category average
About average - the built-in grinder adds noticeable noise during grinding, which is typical for bean-to-cup style manual machines.
Key benefits
- Integrated grinder with up to 15 settings: Lets you grind fresh beans and fine-tune flavour for different roasts without needing a separate grinder.
- Bean Adapt Technology: Matches grind, dose, and infusion settings to the beans to reduce guesswork when changing coffee styles.
- Thermoblock heating system: Helps maintain stable brewing temperature and gets the machine ready for coffee preparation quickly.
- Auto LatteArt steam wand: Automatically textures dairy milk and plant-based alternatives for cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, and flat whites with less technique required.
- Cold Extraction Technology: Prepares cold brew-style coffee without traditional overnight steeping, adding more drink variety from one machine.
- 3.5 inch touch display: Guides users through drink selection and setup, making the machine easier to use day to day.
- Six pre-set recipes: Gives fast access to Espresso, Long Black, Cold Brew, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, and Flat White for convenient everyday use.
- 1.8 L water tank: Supports multiple coffees through the day before needing a refill, which is practical for regular household use.
Q: Can it fit a travel mug or only regular coffee cups?
A: It suits regular espresso and milk-drink cups best. The maximum cup height is 11cm, so many taller travel mugs will not fit under the spout, and a larger mug may need coffee poured in after brewing rather than brewed directly into it.
Q: Does the Auto LatteArt wand work with plant-based milks?
A: Yes. The Auto LatteArt steam wand is designed to texture dairy milk and plant-based alternatives, with 4 milk temperature profiles and 5 texture profiles. Results can still vary by milk type, especially with thinner plant-based options.
Q: How manual is this machine with touchscreen guidance built in?
A: It is still a manual coffee machine, just with more guidance. The touch display helps with recipe selection and setup, but you still handle key steps like grinding, dosing and tamping, so it is not a one-touch bean-to-cup model.
Q: Is the cold brew mode the same as overnight cold brew?
A: No. This model uses Cold Extraction Technology to prepare cold brew quickly, rather than steeping grounds for hours. That is convenient for day-to-day use, but it is a different process and can taste different from a traditional overnight brew.
Q: Can you make two coffees at once on this machine?
A: Yes. It includes 1 or 2 cup filter baskets for a coffee dose of up to 20g, so it can prepare a double shot or split espresso into two cups. Milk for cappuccino or flat white is still textured separately after the coffee step.
Q: What should I expect when changing between different coffee beans?
A: Changing beans is easier here than on a basic manual machine. Bean Adapt Technology helps match grind level, dose and infusion temperature to different beans, but taste still depends on the beans used, so some fine-tuning may still be needed.
