Lovely review. Just bought one if these and I completely agree with your thoughts. I quickly got great coffee taste from this machine and I find the pressure gauge helpful in dialing in the grind. Like you I struggle with the milk but also agree that even if I haven’t got to the latte art stage (yet!!!) the milk tastes so much better than the foam stuff that my old fully automatic machine produced. I love this machine and now that I am retired I have the time to use it and play with it. Let’s be honest, its a great toy for coffee lovers.

Great video. I have the La Specialista and for an entry level machine it's great. Couple of issues in my opinion, you cannot get the grind fine enough but it is compensated with the pressurized brew basket . Other issue I had is if I filled up bean hopper to the top , the grinder would not work, I only fill it half and have had no issues. If you are an extreme perfectionist you will not be happy with this brewer BUT you will have to spend hundreds of dollars on a separate grinder and thousands on a separate brewer and hundreds of hours training. For an all in one home brewer and the prize / simplicity to use it cannot be beat.

If you want a 2-in-1 machine, buy a Breville Barista. Even the Express Impress, second cheapest of the line, is a step up compared to DeLonghi's overpriced Prestigio. You get a similarly subpar grinder (not gonna lie here, both of them spew out clumpy grounds) but with 15 steps of adjustment instead of a measly 8, a similar thermoblock system (called ThermoCoil, it's basically the same thing but a bit more durable), a similar steam wand, and a vastly better integrated tamping system. The Impress tamp measures the distance it travels to check if you have enough coffee in the basket. If there is not enough, the button lights up and you can press to grind a bit more. If there's more than enough, it alerts you to trim with the razor tool. You get all of that good stuffs for about the same amount of freedom dollars. But to be honest, integrated tamping is overrated anyway. Just use needles lol. And spend that extra to get a Barista Pro, or a Bambino with a good grinder.

Hi, thanks for great video! I'm thinking about buying La Specialista Maestro. Have you ever had a chance to try out that one?

Don't believe they've brought that model into Singapore yet. I am aware of the Maestro, but I feel the Prestigio sits at a sweet spot for price and features in a home setting.

also i think you supposed to only turn grinder setting when grinder is working as can jam the grinder.

Every time I try to grind it doesn’t work! Coffee beans are in…I turn the stick dial to the right but it doesn’t grind! Do you know how to fix this?

Hi, assuming you have enough beans (at least a quarter full for testing) but you may want to follow the directions for cleaning out the grinder in case something got jammed or misaligned. Then make sure the dose level is not the minimum and no warning lights are on. Video of cleaning: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xIGk0WFoqqyTrag Good luck.

Good video, I thought this system had a dual boiler system though with a separate brew and steam function.
@joshuaespinoza534

It has double boiler but 1 pump, so you have to do one or the other at a time. The double heater allows you to quickly make espressos without having to wait for system to cool down. It helps alot and you'll have to steam before pulling shot which ain't bad.
