Long-form: I bought the La Specialista Maestro after comparing it to super automatic and semi-super automatic machines. My comparison shopping consisted mostly of YouTube videos, web reviews, and a visit to a Williams Sonoma. I did not do any taste testing; however, I doubt that other automatic machines that cost more will produce a noticeably superior cup once you get your La Specialista dialed in properly.
Speaking of dialing-in, it does take trial and error and patience. Once you figure out the settings for the types of beans you're using (hopefully fresh), it is pretty easy to adjust once you get a new bag or roast of comparable type. It took me about a month of constant tinkering to really get this the way my wife and I both like our espresso and espresso-based drinks. The included literature is your friend here. Many of the YouTube videos I watched on dialing in or using La Specialista machines were not that helpful.
Set-up and routine maintenance are pretty straight forward. Again, the included literature is your friend. I appreciate the dummy lights reminding me to descale and to perform other tasks.
I'm very satisfied with the Maestro. After a year of ownership, I really have no complaints and would probably buy it again if it became irreparable outside of its complimentary extended warranty period. Hopefully, that doesn't happen though, because I like using it.
Things you probably know but are worth reiterating here: (1) weight could be an issue for some people and (2) overhead cabinet clearance could be an issue in some kitchens. An extra set of hands and a tape measure could come in handy.
Things I don't like: First, the DeLonghi videos online show a different menu of milk-based drinks than the North American version. Some overseas markets have a Latte Macchiato (milk first then coffee) function whereas the North American version just has a latte function (coffee first then milk). The difference seems trivial, but I would prefer the macchiato setting to the latte setting. Second, the milk settings for the automatic milk frother are not adjustable, just the coffee and temperature. I would like the ability to have manual control over the automatic milk frother. The second issue is my biggest gripe, but it isn't a deal breaker to me.
UPDATE - The machine had been dependable for everyday use for us for almost a year now. The descaling of this machine is a bit of a pain and is a long drawn out process that takes quite a period of time. Other than that we have enjoyed our daily hot beverages every morning that’s as good of quality as any franchise store.

The Smart Tamping stopped working and right now I cannot use the machine and it became useless.
I called the customer service and they told me no one is available to talk to me and that I need to wait one week for a call back.
It was really not worth the almost $2,000 I paid for. I find that the quality of the machine is extremely bad if it breaks after only 4 months. The machine is beautiful and their coffee is not bad. But I cannot say the same about their quality and so far, their customer service. I'm still waiting for their customer service to call me back with a useless espresso machine that broke after 4 months.
Be very careful if you decide to buy this machine.
PS. This is the second Delonghi machine that I buy. The first one was a cheaper one, around $300, but it broke after a year so I decided to buy a much more expensive one, thinking the quality would be a lot better, but I was wrong.
PPS. I might change this review depending on the customer service's answer and my warranty.
Great coffee, professional looks, we are recommending this machine however, look when it goes in sell. It is pretty expensive otherwise.
