De'Longhi Dedica Traditional Pump EC685.M Espresso Coffee Machine - Silver

I bought this for my husband's birthday, after he researched espresso machines and said if we ever get one, it will be this one. It fits perfectly in the space he thought we should keep it, it's solidly built and easy to use, and it produces very nice coffee drinks. Prior to this purchase, we used a basic stove-top moka pot to make our coffees, and given the tedious process involved in that, we usually had just one coffee at the weekend. Now we can enjoy coffee every day, easily! I'm quite pleased. I wish I could sound more balanced by listing a con, but I really don't have anything negative to say at this time.

This was my first proper coffee machine. And after a couple of days figuring out the settings I am using it like a pro. My coffee experience has greatly improved. 😀

This was bought for our daughter who was moving into her first home, she loves it, it’s used daily, ands she says it make delicious coffee, she very happy with it.

Makes a great expresso in double quick time. Press control again to make a weaker version.

Delivered quickly and works brilliantly. Best coffee!

I think the dedica rather complicated to use. Can't just switch on and use. The milk frother is second rate. Not a patch on our old De'Longhi So I can only give 3 stars
