At a glance
The La Specialista Arte is a compact manual espresso machine with a built-in 15-setting grinder, a 15-bar pump with thermoblock heating, three temperature settings and a manual steam wand, sold with a barista kit and tamping guide. UK owners praise the coffee, the looks and how tidy it is to use once dialled in, which makes it a popular first step into proper espresso. Expect a learning curve: the instructions are thin, and the steam wand takes practice, with some finding it weak or noisy. A minority report leaks or failed parts within the first year, and long-term reliability is not independently established. It suits people who want hands-on espresso and milk drinks without a separate grinder. If you want one-touch drinks, very hot coffee or tall mugs, consider other options.

Who is it for, and who is it not for?
Good for
- Beginners to intermediate home baristas who want to grind, tamp and steam milk themselves
- Smaller kitchens needing an espresso machine with a built-in grinder
May not suit
- People wanting one-touch, automatic milk drinks
- Those who mainly drink large mugs of very hot coffee

Ease of use and learning curve
Many owners find it easy to use once set up, but a large share describe a learning curve: dialling in grind and dose by trial and error, often with help from online videos.
User experience · See source
Instructions
Several John Lewis reviewers say the supplied instructions are too basic for setting up grind and dose.
Reliability
A minority of reviewers report faults within months to about a year: water leaking from the base, the milk frother or bean sensor failing, a broken pressure gauge after descaling, or the machine stopping altogether. Some also complained about repair turnaround.
Milk steaming
Milk steaming splits opinion. Many like the steam wand, but some found it weak, noisy or hard to get silky milk from.
User experience · See source
Design and footprint
Owners frequently praise the looks and the compact footprint. A few note the brushed steel finish marks easily, and Stuff found the metal top tray scratched.
Coffee temperature and cup size
A few users want hotter coffee or say it suits small cups better than large mugs; T3's hands-on found the coffee 'decidedly lukewarm'.
User experience · See source
Maintenance
Owners in hard-water areas report frequent descaling prompts. One reviewer found the grinder very loud, another notes the grinder cannot be taken apart to clean, and several call the machine easy to clean.
Tamper
One Amazon UK reviewer says the supplied tamper was plastic rather than metal and broke within three uses.
User experience · See source
Expert reviews
Stuff scored it 5/5 ('A sleek, premium, easy to use bean to cup machine that makes excellent coffee'). Its cons were a metal drain mat that scratches easily, a knock box sold separately and a pressure gauge without numbers. Which? has tested the EC9155.MB but its score is behind a paywall.
UK availability
Sold in the UK by De'Longhi direct, Amazon.co.uk, John Lewis, Argos and Currys, in black, white, green, yellow and blue (blue is an online exclusive at De'Longhi).

What do reviews say?
See the common points first, then read the original reviews yourself.
Summarised from the 117 reviews we read. A review can mention several points, so the theme counts can add up to more than 117.
UK owners mostly rate the coffee highly, often comparing it to coffee-shop drinks, and like the retro looks, compact footprint and the tamping guide that keeps dosing tidy. It is generally seen as a good first manual espresso machine, but expect a learning curve: grind and dose need dialling in, and many say the supplied instructions are too basic, so they relied on online videos. The steam wand splits opinion: plenty make good latte milk, while others find it weak, noisy or hard to get silky milk from. A minority report faults within months to about a year, mainly water leaking from the base, the frother or bean sensor failing, or the machine stopping altogether, and some were unhappy with repair times. Smaller complaints are coffee not hot enough, low cup clearance for big mugs, a loud grinder, frequent descaling in hard-water areas and steel that marks easily.

The De’Longhi La Specialista Arte is a lovely espresso machine, although I have to admit it takes a bit of getting used to at first. There is a little bit of a learning curve, especially if you are new to making coffee this way, but once you get to grips with how everything works, it really is a great machine. …

The machine itself is great—brewing delicious coffee with ease. Setup is a breeze, and operating it feels effortless. However, the product description claims it includes a Metal Tamper. In reality? That so-called “metal” is flimsy plastic. And worse, by the time I made my third cup of coffee, the tamper had already broken. …

I am a trained barista who has worked in many coffee shops over the years, and this really is an impressive and simple to use semi automatic machine. Out of the box it poured a great coffee with only very slight grind adjustments and guided by useful De'longhi videos online. The milk steamer is easy to use and make consistent latte milk, and the build quality is excellent. …

In Review: Delonghi La Specialista Arte EC9155 Home Espresso Machine
The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte is a capable all-in-one espresso machine that comes complete with useful accessories such as single-walled baskets, a quality tamper, and a hands-free grinding funnel. It features a fast heat-up time thanks to its dual thermoblock system, along with a commercial-style steam wand suitable for latte art. However, it is largely made of plastic, lacks a three-way solenoid valve, offers only eight grind settings, and has a non-removable bean hopper.
Key moments
- 00:35The machine includes a single-tip commercial-style steam wand without a pannarello, making it suitable for pouring latte art.
- 02:18The included dosing funnel and tamping guide allows for hands-free and mess-free grinding directly into the portafilter.
- 06:22Dual thermoblocks allow quick heating and eliminate the need to cool down the boiler between steaming and brewing.
More key moments (3)
- 08:26There are only eight grind settings, which may feel too limiting for dialling in different coffee beans.
- 09:05The external casing is made of plastic rather than metal, giving it a less premium feel.
- 09:36The bean hopper cannot be removed, making it inconvenient to change beans or clean out the grinder.
YouTube · Review
Why You (maybe) Shouldn't Buy a Delonghi La Specialista Arte.
The presenter highlights three major recurring issues reported by owners of the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte: defective selector switches, malfunctioning pressure gauges, and grinder jams that require disassembling the entire machine to clear. Viewers experiencing these issues are advised to return the machine under warranty or consider alternative options like the Breville Barista Express.
Key moments
- 00:27The selector switch can be defective and fail to register drink selections, requiring a warranty replacement
- 00:58The pressure gauge manometer frequently fails to move or register any pressure even during extraction
- 01:29The integrated grinder can jam, and because the hopper cannot be easily removed, clearing it requires disassembling the entire machine

Delonghi La Specialista Arte Review - Best manual expresso machine?
The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte is a stylish, manual espresso machine with a compact footprint, quiet operation, and an innovative 5-minute cold brew feature. However, the tall water container may be awkward to fill under certain kitchen taps, and double doses can easily overfill the portafilter. It is best suited to coffee lovers who enjoy a manual, experimental brewing routine rather than a one-touch automatic experience.
Key moments
- 01:34Features an attractive stainless steel aesthetic with a relatively compact footprint.
- 02:51Espresso glasses are not included in the box despite being shown on the packaging.
- 03:20Includes a built-in top storage compartment to conveniently store accessories.
More key moments (3)
- 04:08The water tank is tall and can be difficult to fit under shallow or low kitchen taps.
- 05:44Offers a cold extraction function that prepares cold brew coffee in approximately five minutes.
- 08:30The double dose setting can overfill the portafilter, causing spillage and difficulty locking it into the group head.

La Specialista Arte by DeLonghi Review. Setup & Using.
The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte looks like a great home barista setup with a solid accessory kit, fast heat-up time, and an impressive dedicated long black function. However, it is let down by its built-in grinder, which only has eight settings that lack consistency between steps and cannot easily be dismantled for cleaning. The pressure gauge also acts more like a gimmick than an informative tool.
Key moments
- 02:47The machine warms up and is ready to pull shots in just a matter of seconds
- 15:35The grinder only offers eight settings with inconsistent jumps between adjustments, making it difficult to dial in espresso properly
- 17:26The dedicated long black function delivers hot water first followed by espresso, producing a very good coffee
More key moments (3)
- 18:50The steam wand is ready to steam milk in approximately ten seconds and performs very well
- 21:00It comes with a very nice barista accessory kit, including a matching tamper, dosing ring, and tamping mat
- 23:48The hopper and top burr cannot be easily removed, making regular cleaning of the grinder very difficult
