I stuck to the finer settings for making espresso as I found that my extraction didn't hit the pressure I was looking for when I opted for the mid-larger sizes.
The De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro offers immense value for money, with the ability to brew both hot and cold espresso as well as automatically or manually steam milk to make a selection of frothy drinks.
Instead of taking this out and tamping on your counter, which is a surefire way to get coffee grounds everywhere, you can then pull the left-hand tamping arm towards you to press your puck without any mess whatsoever.
Due to the sheer size of the De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro, unboxing was a two-man job. Once out of the box though, it was easy enough to set up.
there is also a setting for cleaning, which keeps the dispenser from clogging up with stale milk.
Overall: Pro: Quality finish
Con: A hefty machine that won't fit under every cabinet
