- Is the La Specialista Opera EC9555M worth it at $599.95?
- At $599.95 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent $600 to $750 range. You get a grinder and espresso machine in one unit, which is good value if you want to learn manual brewing.
- Does it come with a grinder and milk frother?
- Yes. It has an integrated conical burr grinder with sensor grinding and a manual steam wand for frothing milk.
- How does it compare with the La Specialista Arte?
- The Opera adds a hot water spout and a larger, more featured display over the Arte, and it generally costs more. Both share the grind-and-brew layout and manual steaming.
- Can it make two espresso shots at once?
- Yes. It has two brewing spouts and a programmable double shot, so you can pull two espressos together.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Its price has ranged from about $600 to $750 recently. The current $599.95 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026 is at the low end, so waiting for a deeper cut is unlikely to help much.
- Does it need a special filter or plumbing?
- No plumbing is needed. It uses a 0.5-gallon removable water tank and a reusable filter, so you fill it by hand.
