De'Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus Espresso Machine, Automatic Steam Wand, 3 Coffee Temp & Milk Foam Settings, 54oz Removable Tank, Easy-to-Clean Dishwasher-Safe Parts, Compact Stainless Steel Design

I’ve been using the De’Longhi Classic Espresso Machine for about two weeks now, and I’m genuinely very happy with it. The biggest highlight for me is how easy and smooth it is to use. The filter/portafilter locks in effortlessly — unlike my previous Breville, which was so tight that it sometimes felt like two people were needed to secure it properly. From day one, this machine was very intuitive. I mainly use it for espresso (haven’t tried the milk frother yet), and it’s been consistently delivering great results. Once I adjusted the grind size to match my taste, the espresso started tasting 90% or better like what I get at my favorite coffee bar — and that’s using the same dark roast beans they use. It’s impressively close to café quality for a home machine. I also like how easy it is to adjust the volume for single or double shots. I increased mine slightly from the default single cup, and now it’s perfect for my preference. Overall, the ease of use, smooth operation, and quality of espresso make this a fantastic choice. I originally bought a Breville but had to return it due to a defect and found it difficult to use, so I switched to this De’Longhi — and I’m glad I did. Simple, reliable, and very satisfying. Love Italy. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹☕

We’ve had this a few weeks now and it’s incredible. I gifted it to my boyfriend. Neither of us has espresso machine experience but it’s incredibly easy to figure out and use. I’ve even figured out the milk frother to make delicious cappuccinos. We’ve had zero issues. It’s easy to clean, great taste and temperature and perfect size for our coffee hutch. 10/10 get it!!!!!

Now that I've had this Espresso Machine for months and months, I can tell you it is a great choice for an affordable espresso machine for my home. I use it multiple times a day and it is fantastic! I highly recommend it as it is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes a great cup of espresso for my morning and afternoon Americanos and is also great to make espresso for espresso martinis and carajillos!

Being very honest I can't say that I loved it because it wasn't like that, but maybe it's because I usually drink stronger coffee than the average person, my husband is Italian so for him drinking coffee in a coffee maker called Greca is part of his culture and upbringing, when you get used to drinking the coffee that is prepared there which is an intense coffee, with a lot of aroma, flavor and quite concentrated especially when the grain is freshly ground which is the way we drink it, other coffee makers fail to give you that type of coffee, in this De'Longhi coffee maker although it is also Italian and is conceived with the concept that I mentioned previously of how Italians drink coffee, I feel that it does not completely meet that standard but it is more focused on a common coffee and it is fine for all the people who enjoy that type of coffee but not for me, since it lacks intensity, flavor and the amount that comes out for each cup is very little, unfortunately I didn't 't like it, its design is very beautiful, Elegant and modern, it is fast when preparing coffee, the preparation of milk for the cream is also fast, but if the coffee does not have the flavor that I expect, I simply will not like it, and for the price it has, I really expected much more, As for its tank, it is quite versatile, first of all because of its size since when filling it allows you to make several cups of coffee, it is very easily disassembled and its design allows you to clean it easily, not only the water container but the entire coffee maker is cleaned easily and quickly since the material with which each piece is made is of such high quality that it almost does not get dirty and every time I use it I wash it only with water, I do not use detergent since it does not need it and the dishwasher usually alters the flavor of the coffee, The design of this coffee maker not only gives you beauty, elegance for your kitchen but also allows you to enjoy a cup of coffee in a very short time and with the least possible effort

I picked up the De’Longhi espresso machine during Black Friday as a total newbie, and I’m thrilled with my purchase. The price was excellent, and the reviews convinced me to give it a try. Before using it, I watched a few tutorial videos, looked through the recipes, and read the manual—definitely worth the time. For my first test, I used Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema whole beans, ground on the finest setting. After rinsing and filling the water tank with distilled water (no leaks at all!), I ran the portafilter with the single-shot puck just to warm everything up. Then I switched to the double basket, stirred the grounds, tamped them, and locked the portafilter into place—it fit perfectly. When I started the shot, the espresso began pouring instantly with a beautiful CO₂ crema. Watching that rich, velvety expresso was so satisfying! Even the steamer performed like a gem, producing great results on the first try. Honestly, I didn’t expect my very first cup to turn out well… but it did. I have since made perfect expresso every day. This machine is truly perfect for beginners. It makes delicious espresso, looks great on the counter, and takes up no more space than a standard drip coffee maker. I’m delighted to own it and excited to keep learning the art of espresso. Highly recommended! ☕

This is going to be a long review. But quick overview - if you have never used espresso machines and have the budget for this machine, there will be no regrets. Just go ahead and buy it. This machine is a "semi-automatic" espresso machine due to its amazing auto-frothing wand. I was stuck between purchasing the more expensive, more prone to breaking automatic machine (you also have to do more maintenance to keep them healthy) as I was a beginner and was afraid I won't be able to brew a good cup with manual machine. But this machine hits just the right spot. It gives you enough control to make you feel like a barista and it takes away just enough control so that you can never make bad coffee. :) Background: I'm not at all an expert in brewing coffee. So far, anytime I had coffee at home, I was using instant coffee. Eventually I got tired of the lack of richness in instant coffee, and I wanted to brew lattes, cappuccinos and anything coffee - right at home. With the real beans. This little machine helps me do just that - all while taking very little space and time. I have used the machine for past 5 days and I have never used one before. The quick start guide that came along helped me setup and brew the first cup in 15 minutes. That's it! The guide is so simple and machine is so easy to use you won't ever need to read the manual again probably. Looks and build quality: Beautiful metal finish. Very little plastic. Both metal and plastic are high quality. The black and metallic finish and the sleek build takes little space on your counter top. The number of components included are basically everything you will ever need to brew any kind of coffee at home. This is why I spent $100 more and bought this over purchasing other machines by competitors as they did not have everything I needed to brew a cup, so you would have to buy expensive third party parts causing you to end up spending even more than this machine. You get a scoop to measure ground coffee shot, a tamper, a tiny jug for frothing milk, portafilter (one and two shot, single and double walled) and even a tiny platform for smaller glasses that would cause splatters from dripping espresso. The water dispenser of the machine is big enough so you won't have to worry about refilling for a week or two if you make 1-2 cups everyday. Usage: Now lets talk about ease of use. To brew a cup - you get ground coffee (or grind it yourself like I do), and get some milk in the jug provided with machine, filled half-way. Now put the grounds in portafilter (with your desired filter plugged in), press it firmly with the tamper until you can see the 3 marks on portafilter, put it on the machine and hit the espresso button. That's it! Now for the frothing part (my favourite). Just put the jug under the frothing wand in the auto position. And twist the side knob to steam position. Based on the selected texture/temperature on the machine, you end up with the perfectly hot, perfectly frothed milk. Quickly wipe the steaming wand with damp cloth right after removing the jug after frothing (careful, it's a little hot). Otherwise the milk dries up and sticks to the wand, slightly messier to clean. Maintenance: If you clean frothing wand after each use, clean the water jug every time you fill it up again and also clean the drip tray once a week, this machine will not disappoint you. The only other part is desalination, which you usually perform at frequent intervals depending on the water hardness in your region. But these 4 maintenance activities are the only ones you need to perform to keep the machine healthy. Thanks for reading the review, I hope it helps you make good decisions. Cheers! :)

It product top quality and very strong and proper espresso also the automatic froth maker is also working good. The only thing to notice is that it uses US pin and the power requirement is completely different from india, so u must use a stepdown transformer or else it will burn the machine

Soy principante en la preparación de espressos y esta cafetera lo hace todo sencillo. Vean los videos "how to" de la marca en youtube para que la sepan usar. Sólo una observación: el portafiltro ya viene con un filtro puesto (no me di cuenta y estuve intentando meter otro por 30 min jajajaja). El papel para medir la dureza del agua viene en el manual. El espumador es súper práctico y espuma adecuadamente. Cómprenla sin dudar.

excelente maquina de expresso acompañado de un buen molino para un cafe rico y si quieres dar un pequeño salto cambia el portafiltro por defecto por un portafiltro sin fondo

Me gustó mucho, llegó antes de tiempo empaquetada de fábrica todo nuevo todo al 100
