De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro Manual Espresso Machine with Integrated Grinder, Cold Brew and LatteCrema - Metal | EC9885.M

Product Description

Grinds, doses and tamps at the press of a lever - then lets you take over

The La Specialista Maestro is for the person who wants to make the coffee, not press a button and wait. The integrated burr grinder has around fifteen settings and doses straight into the portafilter, then the Smart Tamping Station tamps it evenly with a pull of a lever - removing the two steps that most often go wrong at home. From there it is yours: 19 bars of pressure, Active Temperature Control with PID and five temperature profiles, and a thermoblock that is ready in under twenty seconds. Milk is handled either way, with automatic LatteCrema frothing or the manual MyLatteArt steam wand if you want to pour your own. Nine drinks are built in, including cold brew and Espresso Cool.

Integrated burr grinder with ~15 settings
Grinds fresh beans straight into the portafilter with around fifteen grind settings, so you can dial in for a light roast or a dark one rather than accept one compromise grind.

Smart Tamping Station
A lever tamps the dose evenly every time. Uneven tamping is the single most common reason a home espresso pulls sour or bitter, and this takes the variable out.

19 bar pump pressure
Enough pressure to extract properly and build a genuine crema.

Active Temperature Control with PID
PID control holds the brew temperature steady through the shot, with five selectable temperature profiles to suit different beans.

Ready in under 20 seconds
The Advanced Thermoblock heats almost immediately, so there is no waiting around for a boiler to come up to temperature.

LatteCrema automatic milk system
Automatic frothing that delivers consistent microfoam for a cappuccino or a flat white without touching the wand.

MyLatteArt manual steam wand
A proper manual wand alongside the automatic system, for anyone who wants to texture their own milk and pour latte art.

Cold brew and Espresso Cool
Nine drinks including cold extraction - cold brew and Espresso Cool - so it is not just a winter machine.

2.5 litre water tank
A large removable tank, so it is not refilled every few cups.

140mm cup clearance
Tall enough to brew straight into a travel mug rather than decanting.
