What reviewers say about the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB

Two whitelisted hands-on reviews (TechRadar, Reviewed/USA Today) cover this exact De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB. Both praise the commercial-style steam wand (excellent even on oat milk) and the smooth, full-bodied espresso from the integrated grinder, and call it easy for beginners. TechRadar measured quiet 54dB operation and 24-second shots. Downsides: it's expensive, some parts aren't dishwasher safe, there's minor dripping/splashing, and crema thickness can vary shot-to-shot.

simple to use and quick to make espresso, taking just 24 seconds to create both single and double shots of smooth, intense coffee
one of the quietest espresso machines we've tested, with the noise level equivalent to that of the gentle hum of a refrigerator
However, it's expensive and some components aren't dishwasher safe.

Reviewed lab-tested ·

Shots were creamy, smooth, and full-bodied, and Americanos were bold and well balanced.
the real star of this machine is the MyLatteArt steam wand
Although some level of crema was always extracted with each shot, the amount varied over time.
