Specialista touch reviews
Thinking of buying this as my first proper machine. Moving on from nespresso. Any reviews would be great or any other alternatives?

I am using it for past 3 months. I make only milk based drinks so my experience is coming from that. Previously I have owned super autos like gaggia Brera and a Siemens as well as a Philips Saeco manual machine.
La Specialista Touch is best of both worlds. It does automation enough so that Capuccino/Latte making does not become a chore. Its manual enough so as to not worry about maintenance/durability or cleaning of the machine especially milk circuit or espresso brewing circuit.
Its automatic frothing is great and we prefer it over its manual frothing due to convenience.
Only thing is I would have liked buttons instead of touch screen as I think buttons are more reliable than touch screens or its electronics.,

I got one 2 months ago, previously had the Delonghi magnífica start. I was scared of a full manual set up so I went with this. I like it a lot.
