The DeLonghi La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB is a semi-automatic espresso machine designed for users who want to create coffee specialties with control over the brewing process. This model features a built-in conical grinder with eight grind settings, allowing for precise adjustment of coffee particle size for optimal extraction. It includes three preset recipes for espresso, Americano, and hot water, as well as a manual steam wand for frothing milk for cappuccinos or latte macchiatos. The machine comes with essential barista tools: a milk jug, tamper, tamper mat, dosing and tamper tool, and cleaning accessories. The dosing tool attaches to the portafilter to minimize spills when distributing and tamping the coffee grounds. A built-in pressure gauge displays the extraction pressure in real-time, enabling users to monitor and adjust their technique. Without a digital display, operation relies on physical controls, providing a tactile approach to coffee preparation. Mastering this semi-automatic machine requires practice and patience, as it involves more manual steps compared to fully automatic models. The device measures approximately 34 cm in width, 43 cm in depth, and 31 cm in height, with a weight of around 9.5 kg. It operates on standard household electricity and has a removable water tank of 1.8 liters. Made from durable materials, it is designed for reliable performance in home use. As a successor to earlier La Specialista versions, this espresso machine combines traditional espresso preparation methods with integrated grinding technology for fresh, personalized coffee specialties.

Very well-equipped machine for excellent espresso brewing. The consistently positive image is somewhat diminished by the integrated grinder with only 15 grind settings. If this bothers you, you will have to opt for an additional coffee grinder, which are generally better than integrated grinders anyway.
