Last year, DeLonghi launched two new semi-automatic coffee makers. The «Maestro» aims to please with an automatic milk system. I put both machines to the test.

I was able to test the first version of the «La Specialista» from DeLonghi. It made a good first impression, but failed to prove itself in the end due to its poor coffee grinder and pseudo-portafilter.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
