De'Longhi Dedica Style EC685 review

A compact and affordable manual espresso machine

Compact ; Simple to use ; Takes Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) pods

Can’t make espresso straight after steaming milk ; Tricky to fit two cups under spout ; Some dripping after espresso is poured

The De’Longhi Dedica Style EC685 is so compact and subtle it’s barely noticeable on your counter, but it makes smooth coffee, as well as steam and froth milk or even just dispense hot water. We found it easy to make delicious espressos and cappuccinos,...

DeLonghi EC685 Dedica review

Stylish and compact ; Utilizes both ground espresso and ESE pods ; Convenient way to have a variety of espresso drinks at home ; Feels like a professional piece of equipment

De'Longhi EC685M Review

The De'Longhi EC685M's biggest strong suit is its size. The small footprint allows even those with small kitchens to enjoy the ritual of tamping and...

The offers fairly good performance and the full espresso brewing experience for those that really want to learn the ways of the barista. However, there are both better and more convenient machines in the same price range.

Terrible machine

This machine simply squirts out water when it's trying to warm the milk up in which it is making the milk diluted in my hot chocolate giving it a terrible after taste.

Proper coffee

"Having persevered with instant for many years, was tempted for a pod machine. However with some research I decided to go down the traditional pump way. No regrets. This machine is well thought out and is of robust construction. Some reviewers have...

Excellent machine

"Very happy with this. Makes a lovely espresso. I was a bit apprehensive about the fact it has single and double espresso buttons (rather than on/off button) but was pleased to find you can customise the time water is pumped through for both options...
