Dedica Style Traditional Pump Espresso Machine, Coffee and Cappuccino Maker, EC685R, 1 liters, Red

I love this coffee machine, it is so easy to use and heats up quickly. It makes lovely coffee and the steam wand is impressive, there are two options to choose from - hot milk or cappuccino milk. I have tried several coffee machines now, this one definitely has the best steam wand and the wand is easier to keep clean as the hot milk doesn’t seem to stick to it so much. This machine also seems happy to make two or three consecutive coffees without any issues, this was a problem with our last machine. The slim design of this machine means it doesn’t take up much space, it also looks stylish. I would definitely recommend this Delonghi coffeee machine, for ease of use and coffee quality, and also value for money.

My first impression was that it was a beautiful and compact machine that would look lovely in my kitchen to replace a 5 year old pod machine which I felt was not environmentally friendly. I read the instructions carefully because that's the kind of person I am. I suspect that if you are not a read the instructions kind of person you may be disappointed with the coffee that you get! So, I cleaned it as instructed and set it up. Then I ran the circuit program to clean the insides. No problem at all. Now, I live in a hard water area so wanted to change that setting. I read the instructions again and made my first attempt, this resulted in my getting water everywhere. I realised that I hadn't been quick enough to press the right button and it made me a cup of coffee instead. I suggest removing the drip tray and putting a container under the outlet when in programming mode, just in case. Some reviews say that the coffee isn't hot enough. Well, you can change the temperature of the water. I like mine hot so I changed the setting to hot, it made very hot coffee. I like espresso, cappuccino and flat white. Espresso is easy, just use the 1 cup basket. The first time I tried the coffee took ages to come through, I realised that I'd tamped too much. The second time was much better. However, I need to mention my next issue, I really really struggled to twist the handle to lock the holder into place. I found myself wrestling with the machine for several minutes. Having used it for a few days now, it does get easier and it locks into position without the wrestling. Note that the tamper that comes with the machine is okay but you need to hold it at the bottom, if you push the top, it bends alarmingly. I bought the wood and metal tamper which is much easier to use. Cappuccino etc is also easy once you realise how the frother works. I recommend watching a YouTube video but basically you pop the ring up for hot milk and down for frothy milk. To get the wand off, twist to the right and pull down. It's easy once you know how. Cleaning it was straightforward. My final choice is for a mug of coffee, and I do have a few of these every day! To achieve this I reprogrammed the 2 cup button to run more water through the machine using the 2 cup filter basket and 10g coffee. I have a slightly larger mug too, to fill this one I use 12g ground coffee, my reprogrammed 2 cup button, and then the default 1 cup button to get an extra 60ml of water through. I absolutely love, love, love this machine. It makes perfect coffee every time xxxxx

Great little starter machine. It needs modding with a 51mm bottomless portafilter and 51mm filter baskets (non-pressurised) to get the best out of it though; hence only the 4 stars, it's a shame these don't come as standard. As with all espresso machines, the Dedica is only as good as the freshness of the beans you use and the quality of your coffee grinder to be able to produce the right grind size consistently. I use 16g of ground coffee in my baskets and found programming the timing of the Dedica a little tricky but once that was set, with the right beans and a consistent grind size you can dial in the right recipe for the Dedica to turn it into great cup of coffee. I don't use the milk frother personally so cannot comment on this feature. For grinder's, I've paired my Dedica with a Sage - The Smart Grinder Pro automatic grinder and a manual Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP Pro grinder (both available on Amazon), the manual one I use as a back-up grinder for when I clean the automatic one, both of these grinders are capable of producing consistent fine grind sizes suitable for espresso. Pro's: Value for money, Reliable, 30second start (approx), easy to clean. Con's: 51mm portafilter size (54mm would have been better), Modification required to get the best results, Programming can be tricky, the chrome drip tray scratches so easily.

Great little coffee machine. Can make a beautiful cup of coffee very easily and quickly. Have owned a more expensive breville machine but this is a clear winner. Many Pros, programmable, ie.,water temp, water hardness, the amount of coffee dispensed, standby time, auto descaling, small footprint, great foolproof milk frother, quick warm-up time (about 40 seconds). Really no Cons at this stage. Very happy with my purchase,at a great price.

I bought the machine from LBY thinking that it would come with the Singapore/UK plug. Upon arrival, I realized it comes with the EU plug and the warranty is not valid in Singapore. Contacted the seller and they refunded $10 to get a adapter plug and offered to cover repairs up to the cost of the machine within 1 year. I’m impressed by the service and I’m happy with the purchase as it cost about $80 lower than local stores and the machine works well.
