De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo or De'Longhi La Specialista Touch?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo and the De'Longhi La Specialista Touch, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The La Specialista Arte Evo is €73.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk: the La Specialista Arte Evo does it with a steam wand you control yourself; the La Specialista Touch with a steam wand that froths on its own.
  • Cleaning the La Specialista Arte Evo's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the La Specialista Touch's milk system: wipe with a damp cloth after every frothing.
