I love this machine. It takes up a small space on the worktop. It can use my favourite home-ground coffee, avoiding the environmental damage caused by coffee pods.It is well worth spending time studying the instructions to set up the options, including the volume of coffee per one- or two-cup shot...

I love this unit. I look forward to my vanilla latte every morning. As good or better than what I was ordering in local coffee shops. Invest in a good grinder. No cup warmer. They should not advertise that as a feature. (Top of unit gets warm with use.) This doesn't bother me.

Easy to operate; Quality build; Very Quick

Accessories On The Cheap

The frother alone is worth the price of the machine. Easy setup, well made, and capable of making even a complete novice look good...bought a second to give away to an espresso snob who has made it his go to machine.

Bought this for my birthday and I was really looking forward to enjoying a lovely coffee. Worked once but was cold then it never worked again! It's not easy to return either you have to speak to delonghi for them to confirm it doesn't work.

Looks good, doesn't take up too much space and great that you can press a button and walk away; The last machine we had you had to turn off as the cup neared full

Lining up the coffee arm can be a fiddle

The De'Longhi EC680 may be made of plastic, but it makes a mean cappuccino

Compact and attractive; Can make two cups of espresso simultaneously; Delicious espresso and cappuccino; Feels like a professional piece of equipment

Bit spendy; Mastering the steamer takes time

Still gaining experience in its use. Bit hit and miss on getting consistent good crema layer but hopeful that purchase of tamper click mat will address problem.

It's all too easy to recklessly spend thousands of dollars in pursuit of the perfect home espresso. If all you crave are modest cafe-style drinks, than a budget machine will do the trick and for a tenth of the price. Splurging a little, however, does have its rewards.

Compact and attractive, the De'Longhi Dedica reliably and automatically pulls tasty espresso shots; The coffee maker also steams milk for cafe drinks and has a handy cup warmer

The De'Longhi Dedica costs a lot more than budget home espresso machines yet gets clogged by extra-fine coffee grounds and can't brew light roasts as well as premium products

Makes a good shot with good crema efficient milk steamer wand compact size good value for money

the plastic Tamper is not good/get your own

I just got this DeLonghi Dedica EC680 15-Bar Pump Espresso Maker and I love it. Its so easy to use and makes great espresso. I love to make ice coffee drinks with this espresso maker. I cant say enough about this. I just love it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
