The La Specialista Maestro is for the person in your house who wants to make coffee properly, but without guesswork. It grinds fresh beans with 15 settings, so you can fine tune the grind when you switch from a local roastery blend to something darker. The 19 bar pump and 2.5 litre water tank mean you can make a round of flat whites for the family on a Saturday morning without constant refilling.

Milk can be done two ways. Use the LatteCrema Hot system when you are in a rush, or the My LatteArt steam wand when you have time to practise pouring. On hot summer days the cold brew function makes a smooth iced coffee in a few minutes, no overnight steeping needed. It is a solid, heavy machine at 16 kg, so give it a permanent spot on the counter with space above for the bean hopper.
