De'Longhi Dedica Arte Pump Espresso Machine - EC885M: 15 Bars, Adjustable Shelf, Removable Reservoir, 2 Cup Capacity

Hi everyone, i appreciate from Delong hi team , this EC885M Dedica Machine is very good Quality and Condition i recommend to everyone to buy it , fast , best, very good to clean and easy

Purchased this for it looked nice and small to sit on the counter. From right out of the box it did not brew a hot coffee. It was lukewarm. Ran it several times, same results. Return it the next day.

So disappointed. I set my machine up 3 days ago. I’ve gotten 4 great shots out of it. Today, it no longer works. Everything on the machine works but it will no longer push water through the porta filter when there is espresso in it. I have spent the last 3 hours watching and reading about how to trouble shoot this. I also have barista experience, so I know what to do when a machine is clogged. Nothing will fix it. The next option is seeing if the brew valve is damaged and I don’t know how to do that. I didn’t get the machine to have to tinker with it constantly. I’m not sure if I got a faulty machine or if constant maintenance and tinkering is just par for the course with this machine. Either way this thing is going back. Also to note the design is weird. Unless you mount this to your counter you are going to need to hold the machine with one hand while you remove the basket. Because of the weight of the machine there is only one place to put your hand and that is right where the buttons are. It’s easy enough to stop the water if you turn it on when pulling out the basket, but it’s just so annoying.

I bought same 3 years ago, it doesn’t worth. Now it’s dropping water everywhere.

I returned the machine. It stopped working after the first week of use.

I was used to a Cafe (GE brand) combo semi manual latte maker but it does after only a year and a half, which irritated be to no end given how much it was. So I'm giving this one a try with a much longer warranty. Longer warranty tells me the company stands by their product, which GE did not with its one year warranty. The outside of this Dedica Arte is plastic (I think) so it feels kind of cheap to the touch, but I didn't buy it for looks/feel. As long as it continues to work great, I'm happy!

This coffee machine is not worth any money, been cleaning service since we got from store and she make of 1 oz of coffee, if someone wants it I will ship it to you or it's going to scrap.

Increasing review to 3 stars. After a few days of experimentation I am finally able to get a good cup of espresso to brew, including a bit of crema (still havent gotten it quite right, but much closer). The milk steamer is VERY LOUD, almost hurts my ear's first thing in the morning with how it absolutely screams. That, and I am still not able to get a good steamed milk. It heats it up, but I could do that in the microwave without adding all the extra 'water' content.

Initial results using this machine have been pour. I upgraded from a different Delonghi espresso machine that seemed to have a manufacturer defect (2 different machines, same failure after about 500 shots). New machine has been very difficult to get any cream, and frothing milk has resulted in no foam/froth, merely heated milk, unless I use the wand at the VERY top and splatter milk all over the place. Even then it is not a good foam, but super airy. This machine does not make it easy to brew a decent cup, and I am contemplating returning it. The machine itself heats up quickly, which is nice. I like its profile, but it needs to actually work as an espresso machine and not just look good.

Not a bad machine. One of the rubber pads on the bottom of the machine is missing, and there is no way to purchase a new one, very disappointed given the cost of the machine.

Get machine for the price glad I got this machine.

Makes great espresso with ease. So easy to use and clean up is fast. Just love it

My husband and I have been using this every single day since we received it, we love it! Good quality and nice add-on to our kitchen.

I had another Delonghi coffee machine (EC860M) that was offered to me as a gift. It was an older model and I did not use some of the fonction. I wanted a smaller and simpler espresso machine therefore the reason I bought the Dedica EC885M.I find my new espresso machine to be of poor quality, very light and the material used for the construction of the machine of lower grade. The machine does not feel sturdy. The portafilter is very light and every time I connect the handle to the group head I have to be careful to hold down the machine firmly which I did not have to do with the older model.

I bought this at an electronics store while living in Japan. This was 4 years ago. It still works great. Still worked after being shipped with all our stuff when we moved back to the US about a year ago. Makes delicious expresso and froths milk very well. I think mine might need replacement soon as the press randomly decides not to work on occasion. Nevertheless, it has lasted a lot longer than I anticipated and I will definitely buy another one from De'Longhi when replacement is needed.

Defective machine sent. Must have poor quality control. .Steam wand did not work, two thumps and turned off. I returned it for a refund.

Easy to use and makes a delicious espresso!! I bought it for my husband for his birthday and he uses it every day

The machine is great; for 3 years! Then the pump goes; no repair place will fix DeLonghi: design to get pump out too labour intensive. Goes to the dump. I have 45 yr old appliances that still work!

Quick and easy to learn. Although I'm still trying to perfect the frother.

Fantastic machine at a great price. Wonderful device to learn on.
