Our take on the De'Longhi 15 Bar, 2-Cup Stainless Steel Espresso Machine

The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB is a bean-to-cup espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder, a 15-bar pump and a professional-style steam wand. It is aimed at home baristas who want to grind, dose and steam manually rather than press one button. Against automatic machines it gives more control over grind and extraction; against cheaper pump machines it adds the grinder and a stainless steel body. Owners rate it highly for espresso quality and looks, while some find the workflow and cleaning fussier than expected.
