   Very good for single cup. Overheats afterwards so you have to switch it off. Having said that the machine produces good latte’s & cappuccino’s.

   Il caffè in polvere viene al top, con cremina e sapore ottimo. Anche quello in cialde viene bene, ma non ha la stessa quantità di cremina. Per quanto riguarda il montalatte, è vero che genera una micro schiuma da latte art. Io non ne sono ancora capace, ma marito fa facilmente un’ottima schiuma e riesce anche a fare dei disegni. Sono molto soddisfatta del prodotto. L’ho provato anche con cialde di orzo e vengono bene. L’assistenza Amazon è impeccabile come sempre: nella confezione mancava il decalcificante ed ho ottenuto un rimborso parziale per questo motivo. Consiglio al 100% questa macchina fa caffè e Amazon che come sempre è una garanzia!!

   Excellent little espresso maker. Good fit for a kitchen overflowing with appliances.

   Wow, what a machine, build quality is good and all functions are easy and practical. Bought this in a sale so worth it, don’t think I would pay full price for this though. The ‘grey’ colour looks more brown to me, but it’s ok. Recommend if you love your coffee.

   It’s met my expectations but it needs time to use the machine perfectly

   I had a much better expresso machine in terms of performance (Sage Dual Boiler £1000) which broke. So I bought the De’Longhi Dedica Arte EC885.​GY so I could make decent coffee. Then I got the Sage back again so could compare them. The De-Longi has a thermal block, without boilers or temperature regulation. It has no re-infusion on the coffee either. These are signifant. I buy freshly roasted coffee and have the Sage Smart Grinder Pro (£250). The same quality beans taste much worse on the De-Longhi, it does not produce a good creme. The variable temperature, without PID, means that it is inconsistent as well. The steam wand on this is a absolute joke. It is very slow, can’t even do 2 small milky coffees without resting to recover. Doing several for a group is impossible. I bought two, as the first De Longhi was unreliable and broke after 2 weeks. This one has also gone faulty. My friend has one too and gave up using the steam wand as it is so poor. In summary. for £200 you can at least make coffee and for individual use this works for the money. But is is dreadfully slow, inconsistent and unreliable. You need to spend more money if you want to make many good expressos. However, if you are graduating to this from instant coffee, then this will be a real step-up and for the low cost might suit you for a year before its limitations drive you made!

   Months I spend looking for the best machine to suit our needs and also make good coffee. I was like if it’s a good brand I don’t mind paying full price. Imagine my surprise when I open the box after weeks of waiting my delivery and I find myself with scratched chrome and used and dented portafilter water marks on the trays and warn start button. It is obviously not new and should not be sold as such. I am really upset.

    Today I made this with Dedica Arte and Bottomless portafilter. Dedica Arte is suitable home espresso machine to practice Latte art!

    Tips of latte art making with this machine.;

    1. Use 51 mm bottomless porta filter instead of default one. Default porta filter produces bubbles but not crema for latte art. You can buy 51 mm bottomless porta filter for Dedica Arte at Amazon UK as well.

    2. Extract espresso first and steam milk next. Don’t steam milk first and extract coffee next.

    3. Use 16g deeply milled coffee beans and extract 10g espresso.

    You wouldn’t be able to make latte art properly if you don’t follow above.

    I have had this for a couple of weeks now, and so far, I am pleased to report that I am a happy user. This machine has allowed me to make some of the most fabulous cappuccinos and espressos that I have had the pleasure in tasting, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. In order to facilitate this, I invested in a quality bottomless portafilter and a grinder (for espresso), so that I can use freshly roasted coffee beans of my choice. There are other upgrades worth considering in my opinion (e.g. better tamper, precision basket, puck screen), but the bottomless portafilter and grinder are an absolute must. The steam wand works a treat (but will need to practice your technique, if you are new to this).

    Thanks for reading and enjoy!
