I recently acquired my dream coffee machine after putting my trusty De’Longhi to rest (I could’t even tell you the name of the model because she was that old). Well-loved throughout all her years, my daily go-to appliance was replaced by a much more sophisticated and shinier beast – The Specialista Opera. I felt the weight of the portafilter, which felt much sturdier than my previous model’s. I ground my beans, listened to the sounds of the machine come alive, and watched the dark liquid hit the inside of my favourite mug. Am I in heaven?

Even on my busiest days, a morning or afternoon cup of coffee has become the ultimate me-time. The La Specialista Opera and I – we’ve become inseparable. But truthfully, everyone has different preferences when it comes to getting the perfect brew. We’ve rounded up the top picks for every kind of coffee lover. We hope you find your perfect match.
