This works like a dream. The only issue is when you take out the coffee handle , the inside cup stays in the machine and you have to unscrew it yourself, which is weird. I have worked at coffee shops before and this was never an issue. But then there machines are a lot more expensive. Another point I found challenging is when I make coffee sometimes , the coffee doesn’t start pouring although I go through the same steps and do the same things, the water pours from the steamer nozzle instead at which point I stop the coffee machine and when I open the handle , I see that all the water and coffee have made a mess there. It’s as if there was a blocage preventing the pressure from forming and releasing the coffee, as it usually does . This happens once in a while , it’s annoying but you learn to live with it. If you can afford a higher end machine like a breville , definitely go for that. But it is a considerable jump in price and this will make a great cup of coffee without the headache of cheaper machines. It is a sturdy built and so far I have not encountered any other issue.

I am huge coffee fan especially the dark roasted beans - espresso or americano sort of; I was researching on various forums like YouTube / quora and web on what would be like attributes on your first coffee machine , what to expect and how to extract the best coffee (I am also regular Starbucks coffee drinker with monthly spent around 2K ) especially the 100% arabica ... Trust me this delonghi machine will serve your purpose its compact, easy to use, no hanky panky ... from very first day it will do what its asked for ... Now getting the most extraction from your beans will be like depending upon factors such as 1) Beans aging - the manufacturing date 2) grind size (especially for rich foma) 3) Pure extraction will be like 1 dose - 25 - 27 seconds extraction and almost double to bean size , if you are using 8 GM coffee extraction should be around 16 - 17 gms ... So to get to the maturity level will take some time ... but still this is a great product ... just go for it.

I am writing this review after spending 25,000 on a coffee machine which has been lying idle for over 3 months now for the want of spare part. I have used a Delonghi Nespresso for over 7 years now,. So when time came to change my coffee machine, i wanted to replace it with another Delonghi (given my previous good experience with Delonghi) and bought it in January 2021. This machine works like a charm, once u get ur hands on it. The machine has an attachments, which can be used to either draw one or 2 shots of coffee. Plus the frother that comes gives u an option to either warm the milk or froth the milk. So all in all its an amazing piece of machine and it does what its been designed to do perfectly. However, my experience has not been good. The machine has 4 star reviews, but these are most from international buyers. I ignored the previous poor reviews which had been given by Indian Buyers. After one month of using the machine, the hose of the frother which delivers the steam, cracked while frothing the milk. Their service partner Orient has not been able to send the replacement part putting the blame on Delonghi not supporting them for the spare parts. A lot of previous review by Indian buyers had pointed towards their bad experience of the after sales services Orient and my bad luck that i had to face the same. To summarise, the machine is good. But avoid buying in India. These kind of machines tend to need service support which is missing.

After using it for over a year. I believe this is a good entry level machine. Good for people trying to brew coffee for the first time. Over the period of one year i have upgraded the pressurised portafilter with a bottomless increasing the coffee capacity. Pro - Easy to use and clean. There is a learning curve to it. add accessories like a good wdt, distributor and tamper to get a good puck. Cons - Single shot always comes out as watery no matter how fine you grind the beans. No space to keep a weight machine to get accurate ratio of output. Steam wand is ok at best, I don’t use it much as i like my coffee black. At the end of the day the freshness of your coffee beans or powder defines the taste and output. It is an expensive hobby to have. I am now deep into the rabbit hole. Tread carefully before developing the taste of a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

If you are a coffee lover, this is a must have machine, after reading all the reviews from India as well abroad, i was in no doubt to go for this machine. Using it for past 7 months and no problem till now. We are using blue tokai coffee powder, with this combo, we are getting coffee as good as any top cafe. Pros 1. Very Quick to heat. 2. Very easy to use. 3. Good froth for cappuccino (also depends on the milk you are using) 4. Easy Descaling ( need to do it once in 2 months when using daily for 3-4 shots) Cons 1. Mug warmer could have been better. 2. Descaling 3. Presser is low quality (you can buy another one from amazon) Overall a very good experience!

To save you from buyer’s remorse, before buying any expensive coffee machine, slide into this hobby gently by first buying and getting used to a moka pot as well as a cheap v60. Then if you have the patience for spending at least half an hour on making coffee, then consider buying this espresso machine. You can use this in stock config but if you want to take brewing as a hobby then this machine additionally requires accessories of about 10k and an espresso grinder to produce espresso shots good enough for an espresso enthusiast on a budget. For more clarity visit tom’s coffee youtube channel for the same product. List of accessories to elevate the experience(should research on youtube: tom’s coffee, james hoffmann, lance hendrick, reddit ,etc): 0)Buy good specialty coffee(whole beans if possible), period. 1) Espresso grinder(keep a budget of at least 12k for this) is a must, a hand grinder meant for espresso would be budget friendly, probably have to import it for best price. I did the same. Getting preground coffee defeats the whole purpose of accessorising. Before buying the machine consider this in the initial budget. 2) 51mm 3 ear bottomless portafilter is a must. 3) coffee scale with timer and 0.1g accuracy. 4)milk pitcher 5)A 51mm tamper. 6)WDT tool, 3D printing it is the cheapest option and then use needles meant for 3d printer with it. 7)tamping mat (cheap silicone ones are reliable) 8)Small spray bottle for RDT(if you buy the grinder) 9) 51mm IMS basket. 10) Dosing funnel or dosing ring for 51mm portafilter. 11) dosing cup for the RDT. Things that are added luxuries: 1)51mm puck screen(necessary for longevity of the machine if you won’t open its shower screen every week to clean) 2)51mm wedge distributor 3)Rancillio steam wand v1/v2 (import it, prices are jacked anywhere from 2x to 4x in india). 4)fancy double walled glasses for espresso as well as cappuccino and latte. I wish you a happy journey into the world of coffee.

Already the 3rd one I buying as we live in different places Europe and Asia... I bought another time as I know this coffee machine is answering all my needs. It is very easy to use and even set the quantity of coffee you want to get in your cup by pressing the button and release when you satisfied. Later just press one time and you will get what has been set previously, even taking off plug memory will be kept. Taste of coffee is really nice, expresso or long coffee in the morning. 15 bars is a minimum to get an expresso with the proper taste so dont try with other models proposing like 5 bars of pressure, you will never get the result expected for sure. As I bought my 3rd and all of them are still working today after 3 years (In Bangkok for the 1st one) I recommend 100%.

Finicky product with non-existent customer service. I had many major problems with this machine, which I have been using for the past 10 months. - I could never successfully make a 14 g double espresso with this machine. It has failed every single time with insufficient pressure to push the liquid through. - The decalcification light came on very quickly although I always used filtered Kaveri water with it. Despite running through the decalcification process using the Delonghi liquid, it remained on. - Even making a 7g single espresso failed randomly at times.The milk frother is painful to use, and it works only about 50% of the time. I have given up and have been using a manual frother which works amazingly well. - The unit keeps overheating - even after a few minutes of use! - This machine is not supported for local service. Even in Bangalore with so many vendors, no one will touch it. Overall, this was a terrible purchase.

Die Maschine sieht gut aus, nimmt nicht viel Platz weg, heizt sehr schnell auf, lässt sich gut reinigen und das wichtigste: macht ordentlichen Kaffee. In Testvideos von Experten kommt das Gerät als einzig ernstzunehmende billige Maschine auch gut weg. Der Ablauf muss wie bei jeder Maschine etwas geübt werden. Hier die Schritte: Tank füllen. Wasser nie im Tank lassen, der ist zu groß und es wird ekelig. Außer man trinkt wirklich viel und kriege ihn leer. Nach dem Einschalten warten, bis die beiden Tassensymbole nicht mehr blinkten. Siebträger abnehmen Dabei wird der einzige Nachteil der kleinen Maschine offensichtlich: Man muss sie mit der anderen Hand gut festhalten, da sie nicht genug Gewicht hat und das Lösen und Schließen des Siebträgers einiges an Kraftaufwand erfordert. Dann ein leeres Glas drunter und einmal Wasser mit dem Zwei-Tassen-Symbol durchlaufen lassen. Reinigt und wichtiger: laut Experten wird die Maschine bei der ersten Tasse zu heiß (105 Grad) und der Kaffee schmeckt nicht. Spätestens hier merkt man: Immer einen Lappen zur Hand haben, irgend was geht immer daneben. Den Siebträger für zwei Tassen mit dem beiliegenden Löffel mit gutem Kaffee und für Siebträger passenden Mahlgrad füllen und mit der Rückseite des beiliegenden Löffels gut festdrücken. Dabei die Finger direkt hinter die Plastikscheibe, sonst bricht er ab. Man kann sich natürlich auch einen schicken Temper aus Metall kaufen, aber der beiliegende aus Plastik tut es auch. Siebträger einrasten, doppelte Tasse füllen. Dann das Dampfsymbol drücken. Die Temperatur fährt hoch. Vorsicht ab hier ist die Dampflanze nicht ungefährlich. Finger nicht drunter halten. Zuerst ein leeres Glas drunter und den Hebel umlegen. Es kommt etwas heißes Wasser, das man nicht in der Milch haben möchte. Hebel wieder schließen. Dann Milchbehälter zu einem Drittel gefüllt drunter und Spitze der Dampflanze in die Milch, nicht bis zum Plastik, nur den Metallteil. Dann 30 bis maximal 60 Sekunden Dampf rein lassen, man muss möglichst viel Volumen erzeugen. Das muss man einfach ausprobieren. Je nachdem ob man Latte oder Cappuccino möchte Milch und Kaffee im bevorzugten Verhältnis und Reihenfolge mischen. Wenn man erneut Kaffe nach Milch machen möchte muss man warten, die Maschine blinkt, um sich abzukühlen. Das dauert etwas. Reinigen: Siebträger runter. Erneut doppelte Tasse Wasser durchlaufen lassen. Sieb an der Maschine abwischen. Da ist immer noch Kaffe dran, trotz durchspülen. Dampflanze noch mal Hochheizen und mit klarem Wasser in einem Glas durch Dampf reinigen. Das Metallteil kann man später runter ziehen und darunter richtig sauber machen. Siebträger ausklopfen und Sieb aus Siebträger nehmen und alles durchspülen unter klarem Wasser. Ausschalten und Wassertank leeren. Fertig.

بتعمل كل حاجه و اي حاجه و سهلة الاستخدام أهم حاجة تقرأ الكتيب للاستخدام كويس. بتظبط نوع و حجم الكوباية و بتشتغل كابسول و عادي و تظبط حرارة الكوباية. جميلة الصراحة

Works well and makes a nice cup. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Great buy my old one lasted 10 years. I hope this one will do the same

Ho acquistato la De’Longhi Dedica Style nel febbraio 2022 e, a distanza di tempo, posso dire che sta ancora funzionando egregiamente. È una macchina compatta, elegante e molto pratica da usare, ideale per chi vuole preparare un buon caffè espresso a casa senza occupare troppo spazio. Il punto forte è sicuramente la qualità del caffè: il risultato è davvero ottimo, con un espresso cremoso e dal buon aroma. Nel complesso sono molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto. L’unico piccolo difetto riscontrato è che ogni tanto la macchina non si spegne automaticamente, quindi bisogna ricordarsi di spegnerla manualmente. A parte questo dettaglio, non ho avuto problemi rilevanti e continua a fare il suo lavoro molto bene. In sintesi: dopo anni di utilizzo funziona ancora benissimo e prepara un caffè ottimo. Piccolo neo sullo spegnimento automatico, ma nel complesso prodotto assolutamente consigliato.
