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

The coffee tasted fine; I requested a cappuccino, and it wasn't much worse than what you'd get at a typical fast food or chain coffee shop. In fact, after a few sessions, the coffee's flavor surpassed my wildest dreams, turning out to be far superior to that of even the most upscale coffee chain (Starbucks, coffee house, etc.). What's more, you can customize the coffee to your exact liking, making it richer, more bitter, more or less milk-saturated in cappuccino, hotter, and all the other things that usually don't suit the little things in coffee houses. Separately, the noise is about as loud as an immersion blender mixing a liquid at medium power, so if you have a roommate that needs to sleep during the cooking process, closing the kitchen door should be sufficient. Noises produced include the hissing of pressurized steam escaping the valve during cappuccino frothing and the mechanical sounds of the pump as it builds pressure for espresso (the sound is similar to the pump in a washing machine when draining)
