Review on De'Longhi EC685M Dedica Deluxe Espresso Machine with Automatic Features, Metallic by Aneta Kieszkowska ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

It makes a wonderful statement in the kitchen. Particularly when done in white. Yet, due to the limited surface area that is available for support, the narrow dimensions become a source of trouble. It is necessary to hold the entire device, which tends to lean to one side, in order to properly secure the holder that contains the filter. At the same time, you have a habit of touching the button that makes the coffee with your finger. Nonetheless, you will eventually get used to it. One of the other drawbacks is a pretty significant one. Bitterness is removed from coffee by using this particular coffee machine. The coffee that was produced by the prior coffee maker had a prominent sourness, whereas the coffee that is produced by this machine has a discernible bitterness. It was necessary for me to choose other types of coffee and rethink the procedure for preparing the beverage. It's important to consider the drawbacks. Now, the advantages. Among the programmable characteristics are the volume of the drink, the water's hardness, and the temperature of the beverage. When you've made 200 cups of coffee, the machine will alert you that it needs to be decalcified by default. There is a configurable setting, but I did not alter it. It is best to descale it more frequently, and the gadget has a comprehensive program that is semi-automatic to help with this. You have the option of delegating a unique quantity of water to each of the two buttons. On one, for example, you could have coffee with milk, and on the other, you could have coffee without milk. The beverage is already fairly hot, but you have the option of making it even hotter. I didn't, I'm OK. Under the filter is a cup that has a maximum height of eight centimeters. When it's not in use, the stand may hold a cup with a height of up to 12 centimeters. But, because the stand that has a container for collecting drops is so convenient, I had to also change the cups. Positive impressions can be drawn from the experience as a whole; nevertheless, if I were to do it again, I would bring a carob coffee machine with a wider footprint.

Pros
  • Slim, quiet, and fashionable in appearance.
Cons
  • You need to understand how to make use of its narrow width and high center of gravity.
