We just bought the LaSpecialista Opera from ECS yesterday and loving it. Thanks so much ECS for all the time they spent going through all the machines from Jura’s to Breville’s and DeLonghi.
Can the built in tamper on the Delonghi be adjusted to apply more or less pressure? Also, what's the highest temp for an espresso shot in the same machine?
My delonghi la specialista arte started leaking water from under it only months after purchase. Can’t believe I spent this much on an espresso machine and it was only capable of producing proper espresso for less than a year. Now pressure won’t go up, no crema and it pours 1/3 of espresso than it should. I’d avoid like the plague.
I wasted 20 minutes on this 'showdown' to learn that the Breville coffee was "quite good, yeah it's good" and the DeLonghi was "a much better latte because the milk is so creamy". Obviously no need to taste the espresso.
I’ve gotta agree with this. Not a very technical review… I would like to see differences in warm up times, how dialing in differs, as well as tasting comparisons of the espresso itself

Does the La Specialista have a 3-way solenoid valve?
No it does not
What is this valve for?
Opera is the best so happy with that 🎉
Can you do an Delonghi Opera VS Breville Pro comparison pleaseeeeee
It is on the list.
Is the only upgrade on the Opera the frothing wand?
No, watch ECS’s full video review to see all of the upgrades (spoiler alert: more grind settings, espresso cool, cold brew)

There’s a 3 year warranty, if you contact their customer support team, I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out.
just measure 18g of coffee and pour it into the chopper ;) your dose will always be perfect. No matter how the smart system will be haha.
