De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro EC9885.M Stainless Steel Manual Bean to Cup Espresso Machine
The De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro EC9885.M sits in De'Longhi's bean-to-cup range, but it's important to be clear about what that means here: this is a manual, semi-automatic espresso machine, not a fully automatic one-touch machine. You grind, dose, tamp and pull the shot yourself using the integrated burr grinder and Smart Tamping Station — it gives you real control over your espresso, but it does ask more of you than a machine like the Magnifica Plus or Rivelia.
That hands-on approach is rewarded with genuine barista-level features: 15 grind settings and 5 temperature profiles let you dial in the exact extraction you want, while PID temperature control and dynamic pre-infusion keep every shot consistent. The cool-touch steam wand with De'Longhi's My LatteArt technique makes proper latte art achievable at home, and a dedicated Cold Brew mode produces cold brew coffee in under 5 minutes rather than the usual overnight steep.
Housed in a stainless-steel body with a 2.5 litre water tank, a 19-bar pump and a heat-up time of under 20 seconds, the Maestro is built for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of making espresso, not just drinking it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a fully automatic machine like other bean-to-cup models?
No — despite sitting in De'Longhi's bean-to-cup range, the La Specialista Maestro is a manual, semi-automatic machine. You grind, dose and tamp the coffee yourself using the built-in grinder and Smart Tamping Station, then manage the steam wand by hand. It suits someone who wants hands-on control rather than a one-touch drink.
Do I need barista experience to use it?
No prior experience is required, but expect a learning curve compared to a one-touch machine — the Smart Tamping Station and 15 grind settings are there to help you get consistent results as you practise.
How does the Cold Brew mode work?
The Maestro has a dedicated Cold Brew setting that produces cold brew coffee in under 5 minutes, rather than the usual 12-24 hour steep required for traditional cold brew.
Does it need descaling and regular maintenance?
Yes — as with any espresso machine, regular descaling (interval depends on water hardness and use) and cleaning of the grinder and steam wand will keep it performing well long-term.
What's covered under warranty?
This machine is covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty. Call into us in Loughrea for advice on setup, maintenance or spares.
