I chose Myer because the item was the best price and they had afterpay - my Sunbeam espresso machine had died and I was eager to get a new machine straight away! I did a lot of research before settling on the DeLonghi Dedica.

Great product, easy to use and makes good coffee. Missing part sorted quickly by good customer service from Briscoes

You'll find stronger espresso in a café, but the convenience of the DeLonghi EC685 can't be beat

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

Instructions can be difficult to understand; Espresso flavor tends to be on the lighter side

I have had one of these machines for a year. This one was purchased for my son as a present. After doing the research, I found that this model is still as good as it gets for the price.

Makes a lovely coffee, easy to set up and use. Doesn't take up much bench space. Very happy with it.

Heats quickly

Though the Delonghi EC-685 isn't the best all-around espresso maker we tested, it's still worth considering. The machine is very easy to use, and it makes tasty coffee. Above all, it produces outstanding froth.

The DeLonghi EC-685's froth is perfect for making art with your coffee

The machine has a very short; six-month warranty period

Received and doesn't work. Im on vacation and a reorder doesn't make sense. Im very sad about this product. Maybe if i receive a new machine before i leave my holiday in key west i can write a new review. Does not work.

A slimmer version of the traditional bar pump machine, the Dedica aims to incorporate all that's attractive about this type of coffee maker, but with a few extra features and in a smaller, more worktop-friendly package.

Barista-style espresso; Slim dimensions; Variable settings

Some boiler overheating issues

Not a bad choice if you already have a nice grinder and can find it on sale

Good taste; small and sleek

No grinder
