De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo (EC9250M) review

De'Longhi's La Specialista Arte Evo stands out for people who drink iced coffee as often as espresso. Its Cold Extraction Technology keeps the water at room temperature and makes cold brew in under 5 minutes, according to De'Longhi, which most espresso machines here cannot do. For hot drinks, the integrated grinder has 15 settings and Active Temperature Control offers 3 temperature profiles. A front dial selects Espresso, Americano, Cold Brew or hot water, and a manual steam wand handles milk. The Dosing and Tamping guide, metal tamper and tamping mat reduce mess for beginners. The 56.13 oz tank is generous. De'Longhi lists a 2-year warranty plus 1 more year with registration, the longest documented here. It has fewer grind settings than the Ninja or Breville, and tamping and steaming are manual. It cost $699.95 on De'Longhi's US store when checked.
