| Description | The Maestro is De'Longhi's most complete La Specialista, adding a built-in sensor grinder, active pre-infusion, and a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen to the Arte's tamping station formula. Cold Extraction Technology (CET) allows cold espresso without ice dilution. | The ECM Mechanika V Slim squeezes a full heat-exchange boiler and rotary pump into a slim 240mm width for kitchens with limited counter space. PID temperature control and ECM's signature E61 group head provide stable brewing conditions and easy machine servicing. |
