DeLonghi Dedica 15 Bar Stainless Steel Slim Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with Advanced Cappuccino System

DeLonghi Dedica EC680 15 Bar Stainless Steel Slim Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with Advanced Cappuccino System is very easy to learn to use. I was making lovely, deep, delicious espressos with lovely crema the first day I took it out of the box, with no complications. You can prep a double shot in less than 5 minutes. It's super easy to clean and maintain, the manual tells you how to clean it up after each use. It takes just a minute to clean the steaming wand and toss the old grounds. It so compact, sleek and beautiful, with a teeny tiny footprint on your countertop. It's like a piece of gorgeous kitchen jewelry. You can program the machine to specify how hot you want your espresso etc.and It's very easy to adjust these settings by following the manual. I do suggest you read the manual thoroughly and there are utube videos to watch as well. Now I'm saving money using ground espresso beans from my local grocer and getting a great tasting espresso that tastes better than the expensive stuff from the coffee shop chain.

I'm no barista, but I was pretty excited to try to De'Longhi Dedica EC680 15 Bar Stainless Steel Slim Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with Advanced Cappuccino System. First, the design of this appliance is fantastic. It's compact, sleek and makes me look like a professional! The stainless steel finish and slim design fit in any kitchen style or size. The Dedica allows you to create several different customized beverages from espresso to cappuccino. The Dedica is extremely intuitive for first time users like myself…I just followed the simple instructions and voila, I had a caramel cappuccino! It heats up very quickly too. I especially love the milk frothing feature. My husband and I live in the k-cup coffee world so this really upped our game. I'm excited to be able to offer guests something more than just a k-cup pod of coffee now, and not have to make the Starbucks run like we have in the past. Looking very forward to experimenting with other recipes on this in the near future! This is not a cheap appliance, but it's high quality. If you love more than just regular coffee and want to avoid the high cost of going to a coffee shop every day, this is the machine for you!
