Review on De'Longhi EC685M Dedica Deluxe Espresso Machine with Automatic Features, Metallic by Eh Pyaw Paw ᠌

Has some pros The coffee maker is really narrow - on a small patch we managed to place a coffee maker, a sugar bowl, and two teapots (in a small kitchen, any patch is worth its weight in gold). Definitely recommend to anyone with small kitchens. During operation, there is noise (where without it), but there is almost no vibration. If you loosely close the lid or put something on top, of course it will rumble. But if you do not lean unsuitable things against the working apparatus, then preparing morning coffee in the kitchen in the room will not wake anyone up. The machine is not whimsical in operation, it is easy to clean and breaks through any amount of coffee in the cone with pressure (even if it’s a mound with a slide, only then you have to wash it). There were no problems during two years of operation. Just at the beginning, do not forget to set the water hardness in the settings so that the device signals in time that it needs to be descaled (by the way, when signaling, it does not stop making coffee, which is a plus for karma). The coffee maker has 2 buttons, each can be adjusted to its own volume of coffee - one for a cup of milk, the second - for a cup under the lid. When there is not enough water in the tank, the machine buzzes slightly, then turns off the cooking mode - a lack of water is easily recognized - poured and started cooking again (this must be taken into account if the cup is no longer empty). With its cons. At the maximum temperature in the coffee maker settings, with 1 to 5 cream added from the refrigerator, the coffee temperature may not be hot enough and you will definitely have to warm it up in the microwave if you don’t drink it in the next couple of minutes. I pour water from the filter directly into the container without unfastening it. If you miss waking up, there will be a puddle under the coffee maker, then 2 more hands are needed - one holds the coffee maker, wipes it with a second rag from below. And this, by the way, is a plus - it’s not possible to wash or wipe under every typewriter.
