Seems ok (operation wise) so far but had an issue right out of the box

Seems ok (operation wise) so far but had an issue right out of the box
So first off the picture of the knob, that’s broken doesn’t actually affect the ability of the machine to work. It’s just frustrating that I paid as much as I did to have it come with a broken knob and not be returnable. That said Amazon is great. They refunded me and I didn’t have to send it back because it’s non-returnable, so I basically got a free coffee maker.As far as it’s workability, it seems to work fine. There is definitely going to be a little bit of a learning curve to get the grind and dosage right but other than that, so far it’s good when it comes to the operation of it. I’ve only run two rounds of espresso double shot through so after a while of using it, I’ll come back and update on how it operates as a machine and its features.

    In view of our experience with DeLonghy products, and in spite of the many negative reviews from previous owners, we decided on the La Specialista Arte Model. It has never worked well. When the grinder worked, it only gave us extra fine grinds. Now it has stopped grinding altogether. I followed the troubleshooting recommendations, but it still does not grind.

    DeLonghy will repair the item. More later.

    Several weeks later, I contacted De' Longhi and had a lengthy discussion over the phone regarding the unit. I explained the issue I had with it. After several tests, De'Longhi agree that mine was faulty and agreed to repair it. The sent packing materials and prepaid shipping label. It took them about a month to process and repair it. It now worked as it should from the beginning. Excellent coffee!!!

    I purchased and used this machine for three months. At the end of the third month, the grinder started to have problems and I did a video session with Delonghi to show them on video the problems I was having. They sent me instructions to send the unit out for repair and the repair location in Pennsylvania only cleaned the grinder but did not fix the problem. They tested the grinder to ensure the grinder does go around but did not test the grinder with coffee beans. upon return of the unit, I found the grinding worse than before I sent it for repair. The grinder still does not grind to the proper level for a dosage as indicated and now the grind is so off that the unit will not function in the optimal zone and over extracts coffee and it drips out slowly and takes several minutes to deliver a single shot of expresso. The cream on the coffee is limited and hardly there indicating once again that the extraction process is off. I am now returning the unit to Delonghi for a second repair and I expect it will come back unfixed. I would not recommend this product and ask potential buyers to seek out other manufacturers like Breville whom make similar models. This model is more of a toy and very fragile. I own many espresso machines and I find this hard to use to get the grounds right for the perfect espresso. The box comes with a guide for settings for dosage and grind level based the type of bean. I was only able to use the machine to grind 1 kilogram of coffee before the grinder failed. I believe if the grinder/dosage is this fragile that Delonghi should have tested their products longer before they were ready for the market. I have emailed and communicated via phone with Delonghi and can clearly state that they are not coffee aficionados nor are they concerned about providing customer support. Think twice before buying this model. The coffee grinder does not come off and there is little a consumer can do to clean the grinder. Recommend closing other products and read the reviews. This is a fragile toy and not a low end professional coffee machine.

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022
    Color: Stainless Steel, BlackVerified Purchase
    Have been brewing espresso from the Arte for a few months now. Very impressed with the overall package, but some minor disappointment as well.

    First off, this comes with a non-pressurized brew basket which is great! The included tamper and mat are also really nice inclusions. I ended up buying a bottomless portafilter to see how my shots were being pulled and the entire setup still works with the new filter.

    Second the grinder has been great so far, even with the new portafilter. I've been grinding on 4--meaning there still is room to grind finer if I need it. Big downside is the non-removable hopper. But it's recommended to only put in the amount you need anyway.

    Steam wand had me less than impressed at first since I'm used to commercial steam wands. However it has grown on me and it will finish steaming in about 10-15 seconds. I recommend looking up proper steaming technique for people just starting out. You don't want to plunge the wand in all the way right when you start and only want to steam until the pitcher is too hot to grasp.

    All in all, it's a great machine. No plastic taste from any of my shots. Non-pressurized baskets. PID to help control the temperature of the water. Steam wand performs well. Customizable shot times. Grinder that performs well. It's a complete package.

    Two downsides:
    Plastic and lots of it. At MSRP I hesitate to say it's worth it for the amount of plastic you receive. It looks nice. But once you start using and feeling it, I would be disappointed. On sale, it's such a great buy for all the features you receive.

    Second, why the dark grey plastic for the water tank? It's impossible to see the water level. Yes it has an indicator to warn you before you run out of water but it'sa simple design choice that could have made a huge difference.

    Ya llevo 15 días usándola y se ve muy bien. Dicen algunos comentarios que se descompone rápido pero no creo. Si se me llega a descomponer regreso a este Review a actualizarlo.
    Mientras puedo decir que hace muy muy buen café, todo de maravilla. Si es necesario el molino para que salga bien el café porque sin molino es imposible atinarle al grado exacto de molido que necesitas para tener la extracción de los 9 bares.
    Si no vas a ver muchos tutoriales en Youtube para aprender a usarla te recomiendo que no la compres.
    Update: ya pasó casi un año, es la mejor compra que he hecho jaja. Aprendí a hacer una buena extracción como en 3 meses y ahora solo tardo un par de minutos en hacerme un excelente capuchino cada mañana. Hasta ahora funciona perfectamente. Si la recomiendo, es una maravilla, si estás aprendiendo a hacer café, el indicador de presión que trae es lo que necesitas, es perfecto para saber si lo estás haciendo bien o mal.
    Actualización: ya llevo año y medio usándolo diario, se descompuso y lo lleve a garantía, era algo sencillo que arreglaron y de nuevo funciona muy bien. No me arrepiento de la compra

    Pros:
    Overall, the build quality is good and it has a nice look. It doesn't take up too much space on a table. It's easy to use, and the hop attachment on the portafilter really helps with puck preparation. Some brewing adjustments are available through hidden settings (read the manual!).
    Cons:
    The grinding is not very uniform, which is probably due to the conical burr used. It's not too bad, though. The amount of ground coffee varies with the same setting, as it is based on time rather than weight. The grinder can be messy sometimes as grinded coffee is flying out around the machine. There is no water flow adjustment, so it always passes the same amount of water regardless of your coffee weight.
    Overall:
    It's a good starting point if you want a little bit more control over your coffee brew. One can adapt and tweak the machine to their liking to a certain point. However, don't expect full control here, it is a basic mass consumer model.
