I mentioned our DeLonghi Dedica espresso machine in my last post. Now the time has come to review it for you. In this post, we’ll firstly touch on the technical, secondly usability and thirdly why we decided upon this one. In conclusion, I don’t think the reason will come as a surprise to you.
Technical
Firstly, on to the technical. This is the smallest in size, but still with the pressure at 15 bar making it ideal for brewing a perfect espresso. I’m really a fan of the compact design and love it in metal. The old-school industrial look fits us very well. The water tank holds 1 litres and is BPA-free. On 1350 watts it’s just below the line of what our Yeti can handle.
Usability
Secondly, here are three different filter inserts for easy serve espresso pod, single and double espresso. I love that we can use our DeLonghi Dedica on the road with pods, since it otherwise might be a bit messy with coffee grinds all over the van.
It has a milk steam frothier as well as adjustable temperature on the coffee.
However, for me being used to a bigger machine it took some time to learn to hold the machine when you insert the filter holder. I mean, the machine is so small and tall it moves fairly easy when you twist the holder. Since it makes it a two handed situation it’s a downside I suppose.
Why did we buy it?
Thirdly, on to why we settled on this one. Looks, compact design, price, usability and wattage. Remember, this one is used multiple times daily in our van. It needed to look good, have a small footprint and use pods as well as grounds.
