With the Specialista coffee machine, Delonghi aims at the Baristas in the making
Hello, Besides the remarks concerning the lexicology of coffee - which I share -, Delonghi had the good taste not to call this barista machine and for good reason ... and besides the Max site ... was not mistaken by putting thepre-sale machine in the “beginner” category! To put it simply, this machine is closer (already by the price) of a jura/saeco type automaton than a traditional espresso machine;Only the passage of the mill to the infusion is really manual.
Advantage compared to an automatic: no marc inside the machine.And that's not a meager advantage!
Advantage compared to a manual machine with mill: no coffee powder around the mill.How many big drinkers have gone to the automaton or capsules for this reason.
Differences with a scalable or semi-pro manual machine (with a mill for similar prices): pressurized filters that will never make it possible to obtain an authentic Crema or to correctly extract all the aromas;It may seem superfluous, but take the test!With the same coffee an automaton or a beginner manual will never give the results in the mouth that can give an evolutionary or semi-pro ... correctly set ... which is not necessarily obvious! What interested me on this machine: theFounding holding system at the mill and the integrated stamp.Manufacturers could be inspired by.Jacques
