Dinamica Plus (US version) ECAM38085SB

I think there is a pretty notable difference. I went from a Philips 5400 (same machine as the 3200/3300 just fancier features) to a using my brother in laws Delonghi Dinamica Plus pretty regularly, to the KitcheAid KF8 we have now and I would say every one of them was a noticeable jump in quality even though we drink milk drinks 90%+ of the time. The real question I think is if the KF8 is 50% better than the Philips since that is about the price difference and personally I think so, but I’d wager that most people would find it to fall in the diminishing returns category.

I have a Delonghi Dynamica Plus. It took about 25 drinks before I settled on the grind size, beans I liked, and the drinks I wanted to stick with. Very satisfied with the machine speed and drink quality. They couldn't continue to sell thousands of machines if customers didn't think they were worth it.

Short answer: Quality. Long answer: You need to try it out yourself. I went to my local Williams Sonoma and tried out the Philips Lattego, Delonghi Dinamica plus and Jura Z10. And also the Breville impress touch semiauto. I was pretty sure I would get the Delonghi. But after we tried the Jura, it really was no match. The Breville Semiauto and Jura Z10 were the same quality, others just tasted vastly inferior. So I’d recommend calling a local williams Sonoma, asking if they do demos and if they have the 3-4 machines you’re interested in trying and try them out.

Magnifica Plus or Dinamica Plus (if you want to stick to Costco) is your best choice. Best milk and espresso.

Magnifica plus is your best bet for highest dose along with the new software that allows for extra shot (2 grinds). Dinamica Plus and most of old models the x2 shot is still the same grind with extra dose and double water. It is equivalent to double basket.

We love our DeLonghi Dinamica plus...check it out!

Honestly, we bought a Selonghi Dinamica plus a month ago. The coffee options are great (can even adjust the going size) and it's pieces are easy to clean.

Ya I’m in the same situation and would like 2 hoppers. I have the Delonghi Dinamica Plus and it makes great drinks but I mostly drink decaf and my wife drinks regular. I’m tired of using the bypass chute for every drink and I don’t think it uses as many grounds so drinks from the chute are weaker. I’m getting tired of fiddling with it and spending the extra time measuring out scoops of coffee for a quick drink before heading out to work so I’ve looked at the Rivelia and the J8 Twin. Ideally I’d love to get the J8 twin because you can do regular or decaf or even half caff with the touch of a button but I’m having a hard time pulling the trigger since it is so expensive. Just can’t justify spending 3x what I have or the Rivelia. Rivelia seems like the best affordable option but you still have to switch hoppers and have remaining grounds unless you dump and waste the beans.

I have a Dinamica Plus that I picked up at an auction about three years ago for £60! What a bargain. We have had thousands of coffees from it, mostly the "coffee" setting, but sometimes espresso and sometimes one of the milky coffees. It's a great machine and makes great coffee.
