This coffee machine can handle single or double espresso shots for coffee purists, or can use ESE coffee pods if you prefer less mess. The frother can be used to make hot milk, hot frothy milk, or even jets of hot water for americanos. For all it can do, it is quite compact and looks great.

If you are looking for a slim, easy to use Espresso machine that still delivers big flavour, this Delongi Dedica Deluxe may be right for you. It is very compact (great for my overstuffed kitchen counters), yet has a 32 oz water tank tucked away neatly in the rear.

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

"Purchased this as my old coffee machine broke. A little bit difficult to operate in the beginning as I am switching from capsules coffee machine to this coffee machine. However the coffee this little machine make is unbelievably great! Much better than capsules coffee.

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.

Quick and easy to use

An option for increased water passing through the coffee would be nice

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

Bought this a week ago. Easy to set up. Lovely looking and great size. The coffee it produces is perfect for a quick brew and run to weekend chill with both the pod (although getting esa pods is a bit of a challenge) but the ground works great too!

Just collected it from click and collect an hour ago, got it home, followed instructions for first use and just made my first latte. The creme on the espresso was just perfect compared to my old machine, was not expecting my first espresso to be this good.

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

Good taste; small and sleek

No grinder
