If you love espresso, you’re bound to want to pull a shot with as much expertise as a professional barista. For that reason, it’s natural you’d be in the market for a semi-automatic espresso machine rather than a super-automatic machine. The semi-automatic espresso machines give you more involvement and control while brewing, and this is both satisfying and enjoyable.
If you’re interested in purchasing a high-quality, mid-range semi-automatic espresso maker that is both easy to get to grips with and use, this review is for you. The De’Longhi La Specialista espresso machine is perfect for newbie espresso brewers who would like to have fun making beautiful espressos without a steep learning curve.
