Highlights
- Espresso Made Right.
- BUILT-IN BURR GRINDER. 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.
- POWERFUL STEAM WAND. 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.
- IDEAL PRESSURE. 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. 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.
- ACTIVE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. 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.
- COLD BREW. Enjoy cold brew in under 5 minutes with De’Longhi’s proprietary Cold Extraction Technology. This innovative technology utilizes precisely measured water flow and pressure rates, along with specific extraction temperatures, to create a delicious, refreshing Cold Brew coffee in less than five minutes.
- ESPRESSO COOL: A SHOT OF COOLNESS Developed by De'Longhi, Espresso Cool is a completely unique recipe, smooth and refreshing, with the velvety richness of a nitro shot. With lighter notes than a traditional espresso, the drink is served best over ice, brewed at a lower temperature than traditional espresso, resulting in a lighter, less bitter, cool espresso.
- 5 PRESET RECIPES. La Specialista Opera features 5 convenient pre-set coffee recipes--Espresso, Americano, Cold Brew, Espresso Cool, and Hot Water - to dial-in and personalize your perfect beverages.
- COMPACT DESIGN & EASY CLEAN UP. La Specialista Opera's compact & stylish design is perfect for any living space. The fully stainless steel finish and dishwasher safe parts make clean up simple.

Very sleek and robust machine. The Secialista replaced my Breville that I had for about 10 years and I really enjoy this new machine. The button and knobs feel heavy-duty and not plastics-like and the variety of brewing options is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Very disappointed
Very disappointed. The plastic supply for the manual cup so cheap that after 1 year o a deformation was causing a leak impossible to fix. This plastic is a entire piece, the machine body. Sold it for scrap after 1 year.

Great choice after a long research
I am a coffee drinker that likes it in all forms. I am one of those people who really does their research when I started looking for a espresso machine. I really liked what I read on the De'Longhi machines but it came down if I wanted a fully automatic or a manual espresso machine. The more I thought about it, I wanted a more "hands on machine". Right out of the box it was pretty straight forward with the instructions on setting up the machine. I have to say, just buy some local fresh whole coffee beans and try to make a few espressos. Trial and error I found is the best way. If there is any other extras I would get it would be a knock box and a scale. The scale will help to see how much you are actually grinding and can make adjustments. The knock box will keep things neat. Now all that being said, I am definitely a "newbie" in this venture but after about a week of using this machine it became very easy every morning to make wonderful drinks. Right now I have made routinely cappuccinos, cold brews and Americanos. All are outstanding and the money I have saved by not going to local coffee houses will pay for this espresso machine in no time So far this is a well bought investment that I will hopefully get years of incredibly made drinks, hot and cold brew.

Grounds for Celebration
I absolutely love my Delonghi Opera espresso machine. I use it multiple times a day, and it never disappoints. It’s very easy to operate; intuitive controls make it simple to go from beans to a perfect cup with minimal effort. The quality of the drinks is outstanding, whether I’m making a quick espresso, cappuccino, or latte. The machine is consistent, reliable, and feels solidly built. I also appreciate that it doesn’t take a lot of fussing to get professional quality results at home. It has become a part of my daily routine, and I honestly don’t know how I lived without it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves café-style drinks and wants a machine that’s both user-friendly and delivers on flavor.

Hit with the Family
My family and I have been really loving this machine. I like that you have options other than espresso and that all of the different brew options taste great. Only downside so far is the cold brew option takes a while to run. I don’t mind it and it is still faster and easier than doing it at home and less wasteful since we don’t have cold brew every day.

Easy to maintain
We use it for more than five years, every single day, at least 3-4 cups a day. Very easy to maintain. We had no problem with it yet. The instructions are very easy, in case you encounter small problems. It also makes nice milk foam to do the latte art.

Excellent machine! The La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine with Cold Brew is far superior to my previous Barrista. Much easier to brew espresso.

Great machine but cannot remove the grinder hopper
I like every function of this machine, except that the hopper cannot be removed for cleaning. I am concerned it will eventually get clogged like other reviews indicate, but hopefully warranty will cover this issue. Apart from that, it is a great machine with flexibility to make different types of coffee, so the whole family is happy (my daughter likes the cold brew, I like double expresso, and my wife the "coffee" mode). Really cool indeed!
