The machine is a Star!
I had the De Longhi Dedica from 6 years ago (maybe even longer, I don’t remember what it’s called) exactly like this one but with the plastic steam wand.. and because I was very satisfied, I switched to this one that has the metal steam wand. As far as I understand, they are the same machines with the only change being the steam wand. Perfect coffee, and without exaggeration, both the freddo and the cappuccino have nothing to envy from professional machines.. I should mention that the old coffee maker works like a charm, I have it in the shop and it makes 4-6 coffees a day.. descaling with De Longhi liquid and it’s still going strong.. I highly recommend it!!!!
Very good entry-level machine. Of course, for someone who is not involved with specialty single-origin coffees and just wants the taste of coffee, even with the pressurized basket it has, they will be satisfied and won't notice various things from the outside. The steam wand makes very nice froth if you know the technique, (even if it has less pressure than more expensive machines), because it gives you time, if you are a beginner, to correct mistakes. The temperature is relatively good, although for light roasts you will struggle to avoid sour espresso (this only concerns those who deal with specialty coffee; others will have no issue with temperature).
Those who want to take a step further can get a grinder (a reliable one is the Sage Dose Control worth €200) and use whole coffee beans to have the best experience of freshly ground coffee, which of course incredibly affects the taste. I should add that the best grinder at €200 is the DF54, but it is not available in Greece. Anyone willing to search for it should definitely get that one; it is better than any other grinder under €400. A good grinder, of course, also needs good coffee, so I would avoid coffees like Lavazza and would at least go for Illy if you don't want to search. The best coffees are those from local coffee roasters who always provide imported and freshly roasted coffee within a week.
Now, for those who want to dive into the rabbit hole of specialty espresso, I have the following to say:
You definitely need to change to an unpressurized portafilter because even if you get an unpressurized basket, it will not be compatible with the portafilter that comes with it. A portafilter usually costs between €20 and €40. I have bought two, one cut and the other normal with spouts. Of course, they come with unpressurized baskets; however, I took it further and got an IMS precision (competition grade) basket worth €25.
As for distribution, I would get a WDT for proper redistribution of the coffee as well as a funnel to make the job easier.
Continuing with the tamper, while the one that comes with it does a good job because it is of good quality, I got one with a collar to help me press the coffee evenly every time. I can say it made the biggest difference, and now the coffee always comes out uniformly from the basket, avoiding channels and the unpleasant tastes that accompany them.
Finally, along with all this, a precision scale of 0.1g, preferably with a timer, is essential. They cost from €12 to whatever your pocket can handle.
I have also uploaded a video that should appear at the end of the product photos, where I show an espresso shot, the froth, and some latte art.
I believe as an entry it can become incredibly reliable and produce very good results. Out of the box, it also makes good coffee, but only for those who are not looking for more refined flavors.
After I wasted a box of coffee for experiments with time and quantity, I ended up making nice coffee that easily competes with good coffee from outside. Its scoop is 7 grams, so 2 scoops for freddo espresso. I add a little more, almost 16 grams, with extraction of about 30 seconds yielding 35 ml of coffee. It makes satisfactory froth, not like what I would find outside, but it might also be the milk I use; however, overall the result is quite acceptable.
It is an excellent coffee maker. It is the third espresso machine I have bought, and I come from two Krups that I had in the past. I bought the original Krups about twenty years ago, and it served me very well for its time, before it broke down last month. The second Krups (different model) that I had bought for the vacation home was a complete disappointment because it produced ... zero crema. So, I decided to get another brand, and with the Dedica Arte, I was not disappointed. It makes nice coffee with a lot of crema using the standard portafilter that comes with it. I don't understand those who say to buy a new portafilter with a larger capacity and with a "single piece" extraction method. Maybe I'll try it later, but for now, I am very satisfied.
I have had it for 3 months, it makes good coffee and satisfactory froth! I enjoy my coffee more at home than outside in a café. It is relatively a bit more expensive compared to many other machines, but it's worth it! It also has the ability to take ground coffee as well as capsules. I recommend it for someone who wants a decent quality coffee.
With some additions - upgrades like the portafilter, you can make espresso comparable to take away. It is not professional in any way, but it will pay for itself; tested for ten days, it produces consistent coffee quality. On the downside, the pump is a bit noisy, but if it lasts over time, it is a value-for-money purchase. Tested with Hausbrandt academia beans and an electric grinder set to six, I get the result I want. The extraction times can be adjusted as you wish and remain until you change them again if needed. The steam wand has an air release hole; if it's not enough for you, you can upgrade it (in my opinion, it's not necessary). It also has its own pressurized portafilter for those who want to use pre-ground coffee, but I can't comment on the coffee quality results since it wasn't purchased for that kind of use.
After the 685, which will go to the vacation home, I bought the arte model to be my main coffee maker at home. It makes the same good coffee as the 685. The main difference (which personally doesn't concern me much since I don't drink coffee with milk) is the steam wand and also that its double basket holds up to 17 grams of coffee, compared to the 14 grams that the 685 can hold maximum, so you can make a tasty freddo, even with the factory setting. I believe it's worth the extra money to go for the 885.
As you can see in the photos, with this espresso machine you can even make latte art. The quality of the coffee is definitely not that of a professional machine, but with the tips, the bottomless portafilter, and some good adjustments on a decent grinder, you won't miss coffee from outside. With this amount of money, you are buying a coffee machine that gives you a decent coffee. Achieving the result of a coffee made by a machine that costs between 6000 and 10000 is certainly very difficult, even with modifications on home machines. I am satisfied with the money I spent and with how easy it is to use and clean. The fact that its steam wand is like a professional one helps even more for a better quality cappuccino.
Fantastic machine, I was surprised by how quickly it heats up and makes the coffee. Of course, the descaler that is shown in the photos is no longer included but it doesn't matter. Recommended!
Bought it for 299 euros, returned it the same day as the water tank was leaking and water was running like a river underneath, got a replacement after 2 days. The new machine worked great for a while, making amazing coffee, but then it started to not be able to produce coffee, as if there was no pressure. I even tried using half the amount of coffee and not pressing it at all, but it still couldn't produce coffee. Additionally, the steam function was not working either. I returned it on 16/3/24, they have sent it to the service center and I am waiting.
P.S. The previous model is still in use in a workplace and makes over 20 coffees daily for the past 3 years without any issues (same coffee with the same process), that's why I bought it again.
Excellent machine for those who have recently started their journey into the world of coffee. With a few additions, you will be able to make coffee equal to what you drink at a good café. Specifically:
- As soon as you get it, get a bottomless portafilter and a good basket. The one that comes with the machine is pressurized and the coffee it produces is meh. Additionally, the bottomless portafilter will allow you to see the entire coffee extraction process. As you gain experience and explore, you will see how you can draw conclusions about the coffee before even tasting it, just by observing how the coffee flows.
- Get a scale to weigh the amount of coffee.
- Optionally, get a WDT tool to distribute the coffee properly in the portafilter.
- Get a dosing ring to avoid spilling coffee.
After you have the above, comes the fun part, experimentation. There are many factors that affect the coffee produced by the machine, so trial and error will be necessary. Initially, before you invest in your own grinder, go to a coffee shop and find the beans you like and ask them to grind 50g for you to try the resulting coffee. For this specific machine, I grind them at 1.4 and it turns out great. If the coffee struggles to come out and only a small amount is produced, it means that either the grind is too fine or you tamped the coffee too hard. If the coffee flows too quickly and is watery without crema, then the grind is too coarse.
WARNING! When you get the bottomless portafilter, don't even try to use supermarket coffee because it is ground too coarse and the coffee will come out watery. I could write many more things, but I will conclude by saying that for a first machine, it is honest and I highly recommend it.
MAJOR UPDATE: For those who decide to get a grinder (the truth is, it's a one-way street) and don't have an unlimited budget, do not get a cheap electric grinder (especially if it's a blade grinder), but rather a manual burr grinder. I got one from a well-known Taiwanese company and it radically changes the experience.
Really excellent! Sturdy construction made of stainless steel, a nozzle that the more expensive professional espresso machines have and that makes frothed milk as it should be if someone knows how to handle it correctly. No comparison to automatic machines that cost even 600€-700€. With a manual machine, specifically this EC885, if you learn how to operate it, you can make espresso that is 90% as good as what you would drink from a professional machine with a skilled barista, because the truth is that most people don't know. You will not be disappointed with the purchase. Buy it without hesitation unless you want a machine that does everything itself, but you definitely won't be drinking the same coffee.
Excellent the best purchase I have made. For coffee, I recommend the Hausbrandt Blue. If it is freshly ground, perfect.... Even if it had ten stars, I would give them.
Purchased in the afternoon, returned the next morning.
It doesn't produce water, it only does preinfusion. It may be defective. I will update when I am informed by the store.
Update: The first one was indeed defective. The store replaced it for me immediately.
After the initial tests, the impressions were very good. Now, for the quality of coffee, cream, etc., the variety we buy plays a role. In the photo, it is ground Costa from the supermarket
