De'Longhi EC950.M Dedica Maestro Plus espressokeitin

Nice quality espresso

The wand is alright too though strange that it needs to be so horizontal when manually used, would prefer it more upright.

Ok, so it looks super cute on the bench top, with such a small footprint, good enough reason to buy it.

However, buy this if you're looking for the easiest way to make Cafe quality coffee out of the box, seriously.

Start with fresh beans, set the brew temp to suit the roast, for me it is the second setting, and hit the espresso button for a perfect extraction, every time.

The 51mm portafilter basket I think gives better extraction than my previous machines 58mm. The 51 offers a deeper basket, which produces a much richer extraction.

I've changed the 2 cup espresso, so the extraction is down from 60mls to 40mls, so no longer enough for 2 cups, but a true double shot, but try the single basket first, it won't disappoint. Easy to adjust, or simply use out of the box.

The milk frother works well enough with 3 foam and 3 heat settings, or easy to use in manual mode. The automatic might not give you Cafe perfect milk, but it constantly gives very good milk.

I do my milk first, then the espresso, I think it gives a better coffee than the other way around.

This is one great machine (so very cute), don't hesitate to buy, you won't be disappointed. DeLonghi are very, very good to deal with directly.

We haven’t used it yet. We have an existing manual machine which this will replace and it looks great and has good features for us.

Love the auto with Perfect froth everytime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item nearly 2 years ago and it has been excellent. Very simple to use and maintenance is very easy. I've recommended this product to all my colleagues at work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use and makes great tasty coffee. I am happy with my coffee machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is premium - it’s absolutely fantastic. Don’t know what we ever did without it. We use it all the time. It makes perfect smooth hot coffee and we just love the way the milk frother works - it will make the frothiest coffee that you have ever had in a ‘home’ coffee machine. Just delicious coffee from this machine. It’s only a small machine but don’t let that throw you - superb coffee. We always take it away with us when we go caravan ing as it is quite compact - you can take it anywhere. What would we do without our Delonghi Dedica Maestro Plus. Honestly, we just love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this machine a couple of years ago to replace an older model. It's huge improvement, with a better drainage tray, preventing rust at the base of the machine. Automatic milk frother mean I can make coffee with one hand while on the phone..lol Much stronger steam pressure.

                  This is the third model I've purchased and I feel the improvements will help the machine last much longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first coffee machine I have had and everytime I use it i love it more and more. What's so good is the buttons on the top make it clear for preference of setting as well as having a choice of manual or automatic frother. This will help to get the technique down packed for future coffee making.
