Dedica Series

We buyed Delonghi Dedica and it is really great. Now I need some advice for some quality grinder. We use pre-ground coffee and espresso latte is really amazing.

Boss, Dedica is your best bet in 20k - reliable, community-backed, works well enough despite no solenoid/temperature control. I myself started with this, then upgraded later. Gaggia & Hibrew are better ofcourse if you stretch budget. They will give you a more 'true espresso' feel. Avoid AGARO/Wonderchef/Black+Decker for long-term use, good for beginners but weak build quality and Morphy/Ariete are hit-or-miss, poor service. Hope this helps. Enjoy brewing :)

That's probably because many buyers must be beginners who rated. They must be expecting cafe style results 😃. I took it on a friend's recommendation wgo runs three coffee shops. In entry level segment, dedica is well regarded globally. So, My take boss - Try it, enjoy it and upgrade :)

Are you sure it was this one or the more basic Dedica version? This is the Dedica Arte or something over Rs. 20,000.

Wait for the replacement or order a new one, this is a very good machine and works well with beginners. Decent shot can be pulled easily. I have been using this for almost 9 months now

Second vote for the De Longhi

Uk pricing but I got a Delonghi Dedica for I think £150 and I treated myself to a Kingrinder K6 at £95 if I recall. I’m REALLY happy with it. I’m making things somewhere between ‘better than Starbucks/costa/nero’ and ‘not as good as a proper coffee shop’ with a touch of ‘my latte art is disgraceful’ The first machine I sent back because it had an EU plug socket on it (it was £120) and I didn’t want to use an adapter. I could have got a cheaper grinder but the advise on here suggested not to skimp I just deleted a note on my phone that had my budget options list on it, here’s what else I had with the prices at the time : Delonghi Classic EM450 - 15 bar - £150 - https://amzn.eu/d/04Ouad7 Krups Virtuoso+ pump espresso machine - £115 - https://amzn.eu/d/ei8gVHW Casabrews CM5418 - £120 -https://amzn.eu/d/4eYmPrD Swan - £90 - https://amzn.eu/d/3XK4Qkh

In that budget,, I would get Delonghi Dedica or Breville Sage, small portfolio ones, and get a decent grinder. DF54 or 64 what have you. and add accessories. i heard AIO will break easier, especially the grinder. And if I had to do it all over again, I would just get the cheapest Delonghi sub $150, and frequently under $80 in local Sams club in the US. Reason being, its so easy to repair. But as always, better equipments will give better results. It's with these budget kitchen appliance espresso machines that need crazy dialing skills...

Delonghi Dedica Arte. 51mm basket. easy to find. fast heat up time. So many auto settings (like auto turn off after 30 min, or turn on with button touch - don't have to switch it off). Find the cheapest Amazon burr grinder and mod it to grind finer. Get a few accessories if you want to expand the horizon. Have fun.

Go with Delonghi Dedica because I have one. 😃 less than 30 sec heat up, auto shut off, and fast steaming heat up, latte art steaming wand. I have Dedica Arte, but the new model is even better. BTW, avoid all in one's. And get a separate grinder, if you can. because grinders get damaged easily. But it's your choice.
