Just pull the lever and the Delonghi La Specialista Opera will achieve a perfect tamp for your brew.

Barista-Level Luxury At Home

The tamping process for the espresso machine begins with the 19-bar Itliam pump. This pump applies perfect pressure to your grounds throughout the entire brewing process, delivering low pressure during pre-infusion and high pressure during espresso extraction. To heat your water as rapidly as possible, the Delonghi La Specialista Opera is equipped with a thermoblock heating system. From there, Active Temperature Control technology will ensure a stable water temperature during the brewing process. With three infusion temperature settings, the small appliance can customize the heat for the most optimal extraction at the touch of a button.
