Bean adapt technology
While coffee beans might all look similar on the outside, on the inside they’re all very different, with different grinding and brewing levels needed to extract the best flavour from the beans. That’s where La Specialista Maestro Bean Adapt Technology comes into play, letting you control the grind, dose and temperature to get the best flavour and extraction out of your coffee beans.
Sensor Grinding Technology
Eight grind settings with precision adjustment let you get the best out of different types of coffee bean, while two sensors help deliver an even grind for consistent results, cup after cup after cup.
Smart Tamping Station
Just activate the lever to tamp the dose with exactly the right pressure, without mistakes or any messy spilt grounds – this all happens inside the machine once you’ve twisted the portafilter into position.
Dynamic pre-infusion
The machine also adjusts the length of the pre-infusion process to the density of the coffee dose, ensuring the entire surface is evenly and gently wet, which helps you achieve the perfect extraction of flavour and aroma.
Active temperature control
The 19-bar pressure, high-performance Thermoblock temperature control system gives you the ideal, stable temperature for brewing, with five temperature profiles to bring out the full flavour of your beans.
All your favourites at your fingertips
As well as letting you craft your brew to perfection, this machine also boasts six automatic espresso- and milk-based preset recipes, so you can create an optimal cup in minutes.
Velvety milk froth
It’s really easy to enjoy a perfect creamy cappuccino or latte, thanks to the LatteCrema System which automatically mixes the correct proportions of steam, air and milk to suit your drink. Select the milk foam option you want on the display and the dedicated heating system ensures the optimal temperature and a quick heat-up.
The art of the barista
Of course, no barista would be without the finishing touch of latte art in their coffee-making bag of tricks, and the My Latte Art steam wand lets you finish off your brew by adding texture to create whatever patterns and designs you like.
