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.
- You can't grind coffee beans yourself without a coffee grinder, so you have to purchase it separately.
- With frequent use, you have to refill the 1L water tank often.
Description
The De'Longhi EC685.BK Dedica Black 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. Only want 1 espresso? Use the basket 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. Want to make space for a latte macchiato cup? Easily remove the top layer of the drip tray.
Note: it takes time and patience to learn how to prepare tasty coffee with a piston machine. This is a lot less easy than with a fully automatic espresso machine.
