La Specialista Arte is De’Longhi’s most compact grinder-equipped espresso machine and the closest rival to the Breville Barista Express. A built-in conical burr grinder with 8 settings doses fresh grounds for a single or double shot, a 15 bar pump handles extraction, and Active Temperature Control lets you choose from three infusion temperatures to suit lighter or darker roasts. The My LatteArt steam wand textures silky microfoam for latte art.
It comes with a full barista kit: a professional tamper, tamping mat, dosing funnel, milk jug, and single and double filter baskets. Three one-touch presets cover espresso, Americano, and hot water, and the 57 oz tank is removable.
