About this item

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.
  • Awarded Best Espresso Machine of 2025 by CNN Underscored: "The La Specialista Opera won us over with its affordable price and smooth, balanced results... the best espresso machines we've tested. Factor in its price, it deserves this top spot."

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!

Fantastic purchase! I adore it. It's user-friendly and I enjoy the flavor of the espresso. The milk frother is a great addition, and the built-in espresso tamper effortlessly distributes and compacts the coffee grounds in the portafilter without any mess.

Best espresso machine

Absolute WIN in my book! I love cold brew and espresso. This gives the option for both. I’m still trying to figure out bean ratio etc. I buy local beans from a local coffee shop and that’s life changing. The price tag is high but it exceeds all expectations and I would recommend it to everybody!

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

I bought this roughly 3 weeks ago. It never worked out of the box. They are making me pay for the return charges to get a refund instead of sending me a new machine. Do not buy anything from this company, they are truly a dysfunctional mess. I'm sure they will respond to this review with an automated message explaining they are sorry. Pathetic experience

Our goal in purchasing this machine was to be able to make restaurant quality hot and cold coffees from home. We chose this machine specifically because it seamed to be the most user friendly. After approximately a month, we’re happy to report it meets all of our expectations and then some. We’ve enjoyed vanilla lattes each morning through the holidays. It’s heavenly!

VERY Happy with My La Specialista Opera Purchase

4 out of 5 stars
Dougen24 - 4 months ago
originally posted on delonghi.com
After suffering with poor coffee made from a drip coffee maker at home for years (decades), or from paying the high prices for specialty coffees from our local shops, I finally decided to invest in an espresso machine. Three weeks ago I received the La Specialista Opera and, after just a few days of learning and dialing it in, I have been making amazingly delicious espresso-based drinks for me and my family! I feel like a barista! The Opera has been so wonderful and fun to use, and I am enjoying the creative process of grinding, pulling shots, etc. I certainly have a new appreciation for baristas at the shops and what they do to produce good coffee! Overall, a solid four stars for the features of this machine, the build quality, the ease of use, the variety of pre-programmed drinks, how precisely it grinds, doses, and produces great shots, and the professional grade, double-insulated steam wand. I held back one star because of two key features that I feel are missing (but are found on DeLonghi's competitor's equivalent machines). First, is the ability to remove the grinder's bean hopper to change-out beans, or to clean out the grinder. Without this capability, I have to waste beans whenever I want to switch between different beans. I have found that the best way to minimize this waste is to measure and load only the grams of beans that I'll need for each dose. It definitely defeats the purpose of the large hopper. Second, is a more fully articulated steam wand. I have found out quickly that it can be a challenge at times to get the frothing pitcher at the correct angles to froth the milk without bumping the pitcher against the machine. Other than that, though, I cannot say enough good about the Opera and I am VERY glad that I chose to invest in purchasing a DeLonghi. Every morning I look forward to--finally, enjoying great coffee!

Great coffee but not flexible

I’ve had the machine for about 1.5yrs. It is nice machine for semi-automatic. However you can’t use any accessories if you want to tamp your own. So I do feel like I grew out of it and wish I bought the lower priced one that can fit standard accessories.

Machine stopped working after 1st descaling

1 out of 5 stars
Arena - 4 months ago
originally posted on delonghi.com
Everything was amazing until Machine stopped working after the VERY FIRST descaling ( after about one month of use). I followed the descaling process included in the manual ( the process itself is very straight forward and easy to follow), what happened is when the descaling process is done, in stead of the machine being ready to use - what I had is "hot water" button permanently on. According to the manual, to "solve" this problem we need to "re-set" the machine by pressing the "hot-water" button and that's where my frustration came from - the "hot water" button is deadly permanently on doesn't matter what you do.
