Pros and cons

According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert

Thanks to its slim size, the coffee machine takes up less space on your countertop than other piston machines.
Your cup of coffee stays hot for longer on the heating plate.
You can easily make a cup of coffee with an ESE pad as well.
Without a bean grinder, you can't grind coffee beans yourself, so you have to purchase it separately.
With frequent use, you have to refill the 1L water tank often.

Description

The De'Longhi EC685.R Dedica Red takes up little space on your countertop with its narrow size. You can brew 2 espressos at the same time with the double filter holder. Do you only want 1 espresso? Use the container for a single filter holder. You can preheat the cups on the heating plate. With the steam wand, you can froth milk for a cappuccino or latte macchiato. The double drip tray is specifically designed for placing small and large mugs. Do you want to make room for a latte macchiato cup? You can easily remove the top layer of the drip tray. If you have little time in the morning, you can also use ESE servings in this espresso machine. This allows you to quickly and easily make a cup of coffee with a coffee pod.

Note: it takes time and patience to learn how to prepare a tasty coffee with a piston machine. This is a lot less easy as with a fully automatic espresso machine.

Fantastic device

Beautiful jewelry in the kitchen
Convenience thought on all fronts
Delicious coffee (good temperature and nice crema), once you know how it works
Short milk frother

Read the manual carefully before using the device. An espresso machine is a special case and that requires preparation. For example, you can't make coffee after frothing milk, but you shouldn't want to because it is a single boiler machine and your espresso will burn and not taste. If you want to be able to steam and make coffee at the same time, use a double boiler. The heat plate on top is not to heat your cups before brewing the coffee (it is best to put a cup of espresso water before that), but to keep your cups warm after brewing the coffee, before drinking it. I don't think people who complain about cold espresso here understand that you should preheat an espresso cup.

The tamper is the only thing about the device that I don't find useful, because the content of the scoop is just too large and has an edge in the handle, so that coffee often remains in it. But those are details.

In the beginning the coffee sometimes didn't flow through, but that was my own mistake: after each cup it is best to let a cup of water pass through the machine so that the head of the machine is clean again; Do not tamp the grind too closely in the filter and make sure that the filter is clean. Folks, espresso is a delicate thing and the filter grind is very fine. This means that a simple grain can already cause a blockage, so that the filter does not run through and you do not get coffee. Therefore, take good care of your device and clean it every day. I haven't had any problems with it since then.

I read here that the filter would easily fall out of the holder: certainly not the case with me.

Drink a fantastic double espresso every day for almost a year now and enjoy it to the fullest. Incidentally, I have not had to descale once (but I only use mineral water in it).

Would have liked the milk frother to be 1 cm longer, that would make frothing a bit easier because I use a large milk jug (600 ml).

Very satisfied with this beautiful device

Beautiful, small design
Autostop
steam nozzle
No place to store the filters

I was looking for a not too expensive, compact espresso machine for my small kitchen. This one looks great and works well. It's especially nice that it heats up so quickly. The steam wand also works very well, especially for the price.

Quick piece

Beautiful machine
Good coffee
Machine already broken after 2 years

Beautiful machine that makes delicious coffee, but 1 major drawback: the machine is already broken after 2 years (just outside the warranty of course). For a machine of this price and well-known brand, I expected more. We didn't even make coffee with it every day. Very sad that this is not more durable ... I will not buy these again.
