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

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.

Once you find the right grind setting for the machine this is a cracker of a coffee maker. The frother is very easy to use but it's a shame it doesn't come with a steel jug (but can get the perfect one from Kmart for $6). Easy to clean and easy to operate too

Love how easy it is to use this to produce great tasting espresso and cappuccino. I patiently went through all the set up steps, and it's been working like a dream for almost two months now.

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.

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.

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

The De'Longhi Dedica Style EC685 uses ground coffee or pods to make drinks you’ll love and has a space-saving silhouette

Big machine features in small package; Takes ground coffee or pods; Makes hot milk; too

Drips a bit after use

Follow the directions and it is perfectly functional. Quality of coffee depends on the bean you use. The plastic scoop is the perfect quantity. Water dispenser slides easily up and down.
