Review on De&quot Longhi Dedica EC 685, black by Ada Borkowska ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

Most often, coffee would not turn out till I invested in a coffee grinder from the same series. Both ground torrefacto and grain were purchased from stores and placed on special orders by me. Tossed out half of it. Advantages that vary - Well made, it's now part of the decor in my kitchen. You can make something resembling a traditional single espresso shot. A normal foamer if you take out the nozzle; a one-time descaling agent is included. You can't change the pressure, the temperature control is awkward, and the bowl is little. The maximum amount of coffee that can be tamped into a double bowl is 16 grams, making it too tiny for a doppio. Making a double espresso requires using a double portafilter and pouring and grinding twice. Cheap plastic was used to make the tamper's handle, and I have my doubts that it will hold up for very long.
