I've had this machine for a couple of months now, and I've used it every single day! It's my first coffee machine, and I'm thrilled with the coffee it makes. I normally make a cafe latte, but occasionally have an espresso or an americano. They all turn out beautifully. PROS: 1.

I had the exact same model before which was great. This one works well at the espresso level however does not froth the milk for a cappacinno for some reason, ie the frother system doesnt work, just heats the milk. This model had two options on the milk maker, one for hot milk and one for frothing, The previous model simply had the single system which you could do either. Disappointing,

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

Good taste; small and sleek

No grinder

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

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.
