In this video, I show you the Delonghi Dinamica Plus - so far the best superautomatic coffee and espresso machine that I have used. With this machine, you can grind fine enough, and dose high enough, to get what I would classify as an actual espresso. It is quite impressive. On top of that, the milk frothing texture, true to Delonghi's form, is quite awesome, and delivers a super creamy, sweet texture for milk based drinks. I go through some of my favorite coffee drinks, then show the user interface, and in the second part of the video, I show some popular milk drinks. And yes, to answer the question, this does make hot frothed milk on its own. It can even make a carafe of coffee! Finally, it includes user profiles and drink customization, to round out a sweet machine. Oh yeah, it also includes stainless steel burrs, and can be dialed in quite fine - finer than other superautomatics I've used.

Hi Tom,
I'm at the verge of getting this model due to your experience and review, thanks for that. It seems that the 380.95 has replaced this model. The max pressure went down to 15 bars from 19. Would this make a difference. Also do you have any 'inside info' due to your experience in the coffee-world on if the espresso is as good on this model?
Appreciate your time to put out these videos!
@@heroprodygee The machine looks the same to me. Delonghi just uses a bunch of descriptors for the same model, but sometimes with different colors/trims. They should perform just the same. And neither produces coffee at 15 or 19 bar. That's just confusing. Cheers!
Appreciate your reply! That helps out! Will decide what to get this week! Either this one or maybe a Bambino Plus!
Fantastic review Tom! Great detail and thoroughness.
Just bought a gently used Dinamica Plus and your video has helped immensely, as this is my first superautomatic. I love the machine so far. Thank you for this very informative video!
Awesome, super happy to help!
Same for me. I got one for less than 400 💶. Deal!
Thanks Tom great review. I like the format of your videos. Sometimes it has the action of a coffee puppet show as you scramble behind the stage to prevent a Punch and Judy battle with hot espresso and frothed milk. Keep it up your presentations are very informative and always interesting.
Haha, thanks much for the feedback!
I just got this machine in December 2023 and I am still in the process to get to know the features. This video is extremely informative, thank you. I enjoy this machine, it is my very first automate coffee maker and I am still in the process of discovering the complex capabilities. So far my favorite drink is Cappuccino Macchiato :)
Thanks for your input, Liliana!
I've been watching coffee machines reviews for several days now and this one is the best by far. This is what I want to see when Im researching before buying something. Thanks and congrats.
Thank you. Based in part on your helpful videos, I purchased the Dinamica Plus Connected. Your tutorials such as this one ^^^ have been very helpful in getting started. The ability to adjust grind, strength, water and the type of milk froth has been great. I am very pleased.
As you noted, the app is okay, not great.
Thanks for sharing,I love the Delonghi machines I have 3 autimatics (eve,soul,magnifica s)and they all perform perfectly.Happy Holidays.
Definitely a consideration for my wife. Both her and my in-laws, who spend a lot of time with us, love to drink coffee but hate to make it. My wife won't touch the espresso machine either. As of now she uses the nespresso machine and nano foamer but doesn't like it as much since I got an espresso machine. So, something that could get her 90% of the way there but be her go to when I am not home or busy would be great. While I have considered something like the Impress touch, I think that is more work than she wants and not enough manual control for me, lol. Besides, I already have my "toys". Flair, picopresso, bambino plus etc.
Thank you for always considering everybody and not just making reviews on one type of machine! It is super helpful.
Sounds like the Dinamica could fit the bill. Oh, and I know what you mean by using your espresso paraphernalia in manual mode - it's quite fun. Cheers!
amazing for Delonghi to design such a highly customizable machine....n its Italian made....my fav is the milk container flexibility n settings...quite decently sized for a super auto,with impressive menu...
Because of your review, I got mine today, excellent choice, thanks!
Right on, have fun!
Varsas- after 4 months how do you like your machine?
@@gosman949 love it, tried the philips also, this is much better, cannot think of any negative thing...
I purchased a De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM 370.95.T in September 2021 and it’s been brilliant, this looks like the same model. I highly recommend this model.
the machines are different
We purchased this machine in December. 5 Stars! We love it.
Great to hear! Enjoy it!
I bought this machine but it doesn't make hot coffee. Temperature is max but I didn't like it.
@@KK-vb2gg these typically will not make regular coffee drinks as good as a pour over or using a drip machine.
Great review, thanks a lot, it encouraged me to order the Delonghi Dinamica Plus.
If it was just for me I would have gone with a sage oracle touch, but my wife wanted full automatic.
I’m a bit annoyed though, as I wanted the profiles with the app to set the different drinks we like, & from my research I thought the plus meant it could connect to the app. I was wrong and the one I ordered doesn’t have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi so I can’t set up different users and I didn’t realise until I’d set it up and had made a load of coffees.
Never mind, the coffees seem nice and it foams oat milk ok.
Excellent well elaborated professional review.
About 4-6 lattes a day with our Dinamica plus over 18 months with no issues. We use filtered water, de-scale when it says to, regular cleaning of drip tray, brew group, and milk carafe.
Loving this machine so far 😎
I bought this device as new in August 2020. Whit in 6 months, the milk frothing did not work properly anymore so I had to send it in for repair, 3 times before it was repaired properly. Since then it broke down approximately every 6 months. I try to do the repairs myself because it would cost me a lot to have someone to repair it for me. I’ve had a water leak repair, an electro valve repair, a blockage of the milling device due to foreign material in the coffee beans
and at this moment I have again a problem with the milk frothing. I ordered a new the frothing nozzle and I am going to try to install it myself. Really not satisfied with this DeLonghi Dinamica Plus ECAM 370.95T. Luckily there are some repair videos on TH-cam to help to repair it myself.
Bought one, I have developed taste for Nordic style roasted single origin coffees because of a coffee shop near by, beans are dense, low-medium roast so harder to extract. Surprisingly this machine have me a great espresso after tweaking a a bit, increased coffee amount, lowered grind size, increased temperature, it is almost the same taste I get in the coffee shop. I was using an eletta cappuccino top before this, but grinder was not doing well after 5 years, and I never did receive flavorful coffee with the same beans. Dinamica is good.
Thanks for posting your story, and experience with the machine! Tom
Love your Channel thank you for your reviews..
Thanks you so much ❤
DeLonghi makes really good home espresso machines and your review was so detailed. But still, I want to feel as a barista when making my own coffee, therefore I prefer portafilter machines because they make me enjoy the whole process !
I like more control, but this would be a great office machine!
I know. I love the process too. Great machine though for those who just need a coffee in the mornings, or at the office.
Love your videos Tom! Also Go Pack Go!
Go Pack! Hopefully we can beat the Buccaneers!
I just purchased one because of your review. It was on sale, too!
Hope you enjoy it! Nice, that it was on sale!
where was it on sale?
@@gosman949 I got it on sale from Delonghi a few months back. It was $400 off.
Great review! I think this machine is for me. One of the reasons is lower height than other models to fit under my cupboards
Same here
Please consider reviewing the eletta express.. great content Tom!
I found this review to be quite satisfactory.
This superautomatic coffee and espresso machine is quite underrated. The Coffee Link app is also easy to use and the other reviews don't feature it enough. Bonus: there is also a coffee pot option if you have multiple guests over that just want a good pot of coffee.
I think it's cool that it offers the coffee pot feature - I wonder how often that's used? Since I just make coffee for my wife and I, it's not a feature I have tested yet, but it could be good when you have a group of people over. Oh, and the app is fine, but slow like molasses. But it's the best way to do the initial setup, imho. Cheers!
Love the videos. Thank you. Slightly off topic question. I have the OXO grinder which is ok. Thinking about using a hand grinder. Do you have a recommendation?
For sure. I like the Kingrinder K4 the best.
I have this machine for 2 years and i m very satisfied! Make a very good coffee! Let me know what do you think about new machine Delonghi Rivelia ? Good job with this video! Congrats!
Thanks for your review! Very interesting to see what inside this machine and how it difference from previous models, why exactly it can do better espresso, and work with bigger doses. I also tuned my old Magnifica S to make it grind finer, and tried different doses using pre-ground option. But it still a bit weak and watery. Seems like their machines are using very similar parts inside, like brewing chamber, same pump, similar (if not the same) grinder. So what exactly making this machine better in coffee making?.. Of course I'm not talking about the display, wi-fi, bluetooth and other things, this is obvious :) Hope you'll make a video about internal parts of the Dinamica Plus someday :)
Well, I've tested ECAM models at work, and the Magnifica Evo from Delonghi. None of those can make doses as large as this one, which can do a 15 gram dose. Also, I have choked this Dinamica multiple times, by dialing too fine. So I think the grinder is also tuned better, to get a finer grind. I could never come close to choking any other SA that I've used! Cheers!
Love this and considering getting one but the only downside for me is the milk container bit, I have cows milk in mine but the wife has oat milk, I had a Magnifica for years and found it was pretty good hence me considering another De’Longhi.
Hi Tom, your recommendations has been a game changer with the accessories upgrades. I love my dark roast coffee beans and now im trying to learn how to make a perfect Americano. What do you recommend for the IMS double basket? 14, 16 or 18grams over 8oz of water? Would the espresso pull still be the same 1:2 ratio? I like it strong with a dark chocolate taste with a vibrant coffee smell. TIA! BTW the IMS shower screen and IMS basket is such a great compliment.
I’d suggest then an IMS H26. 150 ml water and a nice double shot on top. You can do a 1:2 or 1:3. Whichever you like best. Cheers!
Hi Tom, really appreciate your in depth reviews. Can you recommend a super automatic within the $1000 price range. From watching your reviews we are leaning towards a De’Longhi over a Phillips. Which model would you recommend?
Under $1k I would go for the Magnifica Evo. I did a review on that one too. Philips cannot compete, imho.
Hi, great video, I’m looking to replace my Nespresso and been going back and forth between a SA and something by Sage, seems you might have tipped the balance back towards the Delonghi :) one quick question, it appears there a couple of different versions of the Dinamica plus, is this the ECAM370.95 ? Thanks.
Yes, this is the ECAM370.95. Cheers!
Great review! I'm not much of a "coffee snob" (sorry for using that term, but hopefully you know what I mean), but I do enjoy a nice cup of coffee... I've been using a Keurig for 10 years, and a Tassimo before that (I liked that MUCH better than the Keurig), but admittedly, those don't make good coffee. Now that I'm permanently working from home, I really need something better than the brown water the Keurig gives me. This sounds like it's exactly what I want... And, the thought of being able to make my own flat whites, is a big selling point for me. I got hooked on flat whites, on some business trips to Australia (that was the first time I'd ever heard of then). I also like the idea of buying whole beans and having freshly ground coffee every morning.
This is also better for the environment. The milk foam is quite good. I'd suggest using the Doppio+ for a nice 14 gram dose, too. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Ha! You read my mind (about the environmental impact).
Hi Tom! Have you had a water leak failure on this machine? In my machine there is a water leak under the touch control area and from the coffee dispenser, I have yet to open it and I don't know if it will be easy to repair it. Your opinion on the type of failure? Thank you..
Hi Tom, thanks as always for your truly punctual reviews.
I tried the Dinamica Plusfor a few days, but it did not convince me above all because the espresso did not leave hot, but lukewarm.
Is there a way to get it out very hot?
Or would you recommend a machine for espresso that brings out very hot coffee?
Mine has a nice temperature but admittedly is not quite as hot as the Sage Dual Boiler. But still a fine espresso. Did your shot run long or short? What beans and grind setting?
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I shot run short (espresso 40ml), grind setting 4 or 5
Hi. I own this machine so far very happy, the only can’t figure out how to make cold coffee.
Thanks for the video. The description on amazon shows an over ice button feature which i don't see on your video, is that inaccurate on the amazon website?
The American versions have an Over Ice option, but the EU ones don't. All it is anyway, is just less coffee, so the ice doesn't get melted away. Cheers!
Hi @TomsCoffeeCorner
Thanks for the great and very detailed review.
What milk are you using? Is it dairy or other?
Thank you.
3.5% dairy milk. Cheers!
Thanks Tom for making the video! Could you do the review of Delonghi Magnifica S as well? I’m considering to buy between Philips 1200 and Magnifica S for my mom.
I'd skip them both, and get the Magnifica Evo. We have the Magnifica S at work, and I find it lackluster - pucks too small to make a decent drink. Magnifica Evo is a little better, and Dinamica quite a bit better. Cheers!
Thank you, that was extremely helpful and detailed. I am 99 percent on board with getting this one, with hope for prices to drop. I feel like it will be overkill for me but i still want it :) Are there ways to adjust the milk drinks for smaller glasses while maintaining the ratios? Also, how easy is it to clean?
Thank you, i appreciate the effort and care you put into these videos!
Sure, you can adjust the amounts of espresso and milk in your drinks. Espresso is parameterized in ml, while milk is in seconds of frothing.
Wonderful review! Thank you for sharing. Can you tell me what size drinks this machine makes? I have been unable to find this information.
Hi there! Well you can program the drinks how you want. It can even make a coffee pot, for example.
I normally do 250ml long blacks for example. Or were you thinking of like travel mug sizes?
Hi Tom, how does this machine compare to the Magnifica Evo? I am looking for a semi- automatic coffee machine. I do not mind manually frothing my milk, but I do want to make sure the taste is good! I would go for the Breville options but they are too big for my bench. The Delonghi ones are a good compact size.
This is better than the Evo, because of the Doppio+ function, and I feel like it grinds finer. Anyway, you get larger pucks, which results in a better drink, imho. Cheers!
Hello Tom. Have you ever find a super automatic that produces an espresso as good (or as close as possible) as a barista style (like Sage's/Breville's) machine?
I made a quick and dirty video today, comparing the Dinamica Plus to a Sage Dual Boiler: th-cam.com/video/wL3dPH2HrUw/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think.
Hi Tom. Thank you so much for your review. This video is awsome. Can I ask which model is it exactly? According to the Delonghi website there are 3 different model numbers and I just want to make sure i am getting the right one. Thank you.
Hi Leticia, thanks for your feedback! The model is listed in the video description, along with an affiliate link to the product. If you use that, it helps the channel. Cheers! Tom
Hi tom excellent video again, also the comparison against sage. Couple of questions:
-which model number did you review? So confused with all the variations.
- how does this newer model compare to the old dinamica ecam350.55 extraction and shot quality wise do you think? Reason to upgrade?
Thanks for the great content!
This is the ECAM370.95. I think the ECAM350 models had no wireless app connection. The screen was also less fancy. I don't know if they could do the Doppio+ function though.
The old dinamica 350.55 can also do the Doppio+ so i would guess flavor wise it is still the same then. Only fancier screen and tech. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks Tom for your review of Dinamica Plus. I bought this last month and chose over the Philips LatteGo. However watching how you have a good crema on the dopio and long, I wonder how can I have the same results on my Dinamica plus? 😅
You can. Just use some good freshly roasted beans (tip: 20%. robusta adds extra crema).
Tom, I love your reviews. I want to buy a bean to cup machine with the built in milk frother section like this (not the wand). What do you recommend as best machine in your opinion for this? Thinking maybe the Magnifica Evo or maybe the Dinamica (not plus one)....
I like them both, but the Dinamica is better than the Magnifica Evo. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you Tom!
Great review!!!
What about temperature?
Are the beverages really hot?
Have you tried Philip’s 4200? If so, comparing with this which one do you think is better??
Delonghi is quite a bit better than Philips for espresso and milk, at least to me. Temperature is hot for me. Cheers!
Hi..thanks for your video! A question.. is it better the new rivelia or that dinamica plus from DeLonghi?
I haven't tried the Rivelia, so I cannot comment on that. Sorry!
Great video. I have one and just love it😊
Awesome! What's your favorite drink on it?
Expresso and cafe latte 😊
@@tudoemaisalgumacoisa2743hi! I was hoping you could tell me how long you've owned it and how its held up. I've heard about problems with the milk function and other functions early on in ownership. Thank you so much!
@@JoeyBeeFitI have it for two months and no problems so far. I hope it sfays that way 😊
@@tudoemaisalgumacoisa2743 awesome, thanks so much for the info!
Hi Tom! Thank you for the vid! Really helped me to pick a new machine :)
Question, because you tried it out before: what are the best settings? When it comes to ml water, how much milk, and grind? For espresso, coffee and cappuccino..
Is that something you can share as well? :)
Thanks again!
Hi there! Well, it's really user dependent. I like to use the hottest setting, and set the 'Aroma' to 5 beans, and limit the water, to get a nice concentrated drink.
My favorites:
Doppio+: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, stop at 40ml
Cappuccino Mix: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, 30 seconds milk froth
Caffe Crema: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, 150ml water
Cheers!
Thank you very much Tom. And a happy new coffee year to you!
Hi Tom, great review as always. But what do you think about this Dinamica Plus vs Jura E8?
Good question! I plan to get an E8 this year and give it a shot. Cheers!
oh than we will wait :D @@TomsCoffeeCorner
My machine makes such a lukewarm/tepid flat white i need to zap it in the microwave. I cant find any settings to change the temp of the milk ?
Mine gets delivered today.
Great reviews, love your channel. In Canada, the Dinamica Plus is double the price of the Magnifica EVO. I've tried the EVO and I am really impressed with the shot, much better than the Philips 5400. I think the EVO has all the drink selections I need, but do you think the Dinamica Plus is worth the upgrade and additional cost?
The biggest advantage in my opinion of the Dinamica over the Magnifica are the larger pucks. But yes, the Magnifica Evo is already much better than the Philips, imho. So, if you're satisfied with the Evo, stick with it. For me, the Dinamica would be worth the upcharge, but it's also not much of a price gap between the two in the EU.
@TomsCoffeeCorner I think the puck size should be the same considering the brew unit in the machines are identical. If you are comparing the dopio option in the Dinamica, then that can be achieved by pressing the 2x button before the espresso on the EVO. I've just tried it and it seems to pull an 80ml shot. Actually, it was overextracted as it came out very slow due to the fresh lighter roast beans I had in the machine. Something the Philips was never capable of doing.
Would love to see a video on the new rivelia. It has a big tag and want to know if the hype is warranted.
Thanks Tom for the review. Just got that machine for x-mas as a replacement for a 13 year-old Magnifica 3300. Quite an upgrade indeed. Just a question though. It seems that the newer machines waste a lot of fresh water in the drip tray "while" making the coffee. And I'm not talking about the rinsing. I'm very careful on always putting something under the nozzle. But there is a lot of water accumulating and according to the website, it's "normal". Would you (or anyone reading this) know why it's wasting so much water?
It might be over pressured water, getting diverted into the tray. I haven't really noticed myself, but I haven't been monitoring it. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thank you for your reply!
Hi Tom, thank you for a super useful video !
I consider buying one of these, Dinamica+, but I don't know what to choose: the old model ECAM 370 with 19 bar and app connect or the new model ECAM 380 with 15 bar but no app.
I'm not really into that app as you can have the same customization settings from the espressor itself, but more into taste and fiability.
What would you preffer ?
Just get which ever is cheaper. Neither provides 15 or 19 bar, tbh. I think they're the same besides the app functionality. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks for your reply! Meanwhile a got a super discount from a local re-seller and opted for the Eletta Explore, I saw your video about it and seemed amazing, hope mine will be too.
Hello Tom. I'm wondering how this machine achives the larger crema on the coffee crema option versus the long coffee since both had the same amount of water and strength. May it be due to a higer pressure during extraction?
Well, the extraction just keeps going on the Coffee Crema. On the Long, it pulses 6-7 times, which may break up the crema...
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Sounds logical. Thanks.
Please review the eletta explore.thx
Hi Tom, could you compare Delonghi Dinamica Plus vs Philips 4300 LatterGo Superautomatic Coffee Machine? Thank you :)
Hi Tom, LOVE your channel, very interesting, and honest.
We are looking for a new machine right now - mainly drinking cappuccino/latte, espresso - we have a little issue. We think this machine looks amazing (for this pricerange - tbh it seems like the only really nice machine in this price range. BUT, we also like the Gaggia Brera - which is not making the drinks automatic, but with the steamer, it seems like its possible to get a similar foam, and a (maybe) better espresso shot? I know its maybe hard to compare them. But what is your opinion? :-) Is the Brera making a similar espresso/cappuccino ?
Best,
Mikkel
Thanks for the feedback, Mikkel! I have not tried a Gaggia SA, so I don't want to speculate. All I can say is that so far this is my goto recommendation for SAs.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks for answering Tom! Looking forward to more great content 🙏
Best videos ur a great guy but im going to blame you for a loss of 600 - 800 euro next week, great content man !! LIKE
I’m trying to decide between this and the Breville Barista Touch Impress. I know they fall in different categories but these are what I'm looking at. I'm mainly a milk drink person and I think the Breville milk system would be easier to clean.
I'd go for the BTI. It's way easier to just wipe off the milk wand, and shoot some steam afterwards, than to have a milk carafe to clean out. Also, although this Dinamican does a damn good job at milk texture for a SA, it still cannot exactly compare to manual milk frothing when done right (although I don't think that is a fair comparison anyway).
What beans did you use to get high creama ?
Hello Tom from Greece! Is there a comparison of taste and quality of this machine (or any superauto) with barista touch (impress) ?
I made a quick and dirty video today, comparing the Dinamica Plus to a Sage Dual Boiler: th-cam.com/video/wL3dPH2HrUw/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think.
Does it make a true americano(espresso + water)?
Throughout the video did you have the Grinding setting 4 from all the drinks you made. Thanks
Yes, I kept the grind setting the whole time. Cheers!
If you can review the Delonghi Primadonna Elite and the Miele 6160/6360 and compare them would be great!
Because of your tasty video of this machine i want it👍 but vs this Gaggia Cadorna Prestige is it comparable?🤔
Oh boy, I’m not sure. I haven’t tried a Gaggia SA before. Perhaps a future video at some point. Cheers!
My wife just bought me this and I was initially disappointed because my espresso was coming out watery. If I want the crema like yours then I would need to bring the ml down to 20 and the intensity all the way up? Thanks for your help!
Turn up the intensity, yes. But please also use freshly roasted beans if you can. That makes a huge difference! And also grind nice and fine. I am at a setting of 3-4 with freshly roasted beans, and I get a very good result.
Thoughts on this machine vs the Eletta Explore?
Does app bring a huge change? I'm kinda confused whether to go for app enabled Delonghi Dinamica Plus or go for Delonghi Dinamica Plus without app enabled.
No, I don't think so. The app is super laggy anyway.
hello sir and congratulations for your channel ! i want to buy a manual coffee grinder,the ZEROHERO 3 PRO.have you ever checked it ? how it performs? i am interested to grind for espresso for non pressurised basket.
Sorry, haven't heard of that one yet. Hand grinder?
I cant seem to find this unit with the Max temp setting. They only seem to go to Hot in the US. I understand the Max is 20F hotter than the Hot setting. Anyone know where to get one with the Max. DeLonghi US customer service does not have an answer so far.
No, it only has a low med and high setting. I checked again today. Cheers!
What is best for an Americano with this machine? Thanks for all you videos.
Well, you can manually do an Americano, by doing an espresso or doppio first, then moving your cup over for hot water. But I'd probably opt for the Caffe Crema, myself. Cheers!
Does this machine make espresso and cappuccinos as good as the Breville Touch Impress Barista? Thanks
I made a quick and dirty video today, comparing the Dinamica Plus to a Sage Dual Boiler: th-cam.com/video/wL3dPH2HrUw/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think.
App appeals to me as it appears I can start another drink from my couch. However, in your video the first couple of milk drinks you made, you adjusted cup or frother at machine, which for me defeats appeal of using app from away from machine. Can a 2nd milk drink be started and completed from away from the machine using app (assuming 2nd cup put in place beforehand), or is some manual intervention needed?
Sure you can do that. You should know however, that you're supposed to switch the milk carafe to "clean" after milk steaming. Cheers!
Can you do all of the adjustments on the machine or do you need the app for some? Considering buying. In doubt... model 370.70 (no connect) and 370.95 (with connect).
You can make the adjustments in the machine, too. But I find it’s a bit more intuitive in the app.
Since you’ve said this is better than the Dinamica Evo, and I just watched your video comparing it with Sage Barista Touch Impress - how would you rate Dinamicas’ espresso compared to the Sage?
I usually more drink more double espresso, for reference.
Thanks a lot for these videos, really helping us with the buying process.
I compared the Dinamica to the BDB here: th-cam.com/video/wL3dPH2HrUw/w-d-xo.html
before i buy this one i just seen delonghi rivelia? their latest shot in the line....a comming test please?🤔
Do you or anyone else have some experience with Dinamica Plus ECAM 380.95?
In my country it is chepaer than ECAM 370 but I'm affraid that it could be a faulty model as it's new and untested.
Thanks for the review! I was considering this machine for a long time but now here the the Sage Barista Touch Impress is on sale so there is 250 euro deifference. Is the quality of the espresso comparable?
This machine comes closer than any other SA that I have tried to making an actual espresso. It grinds so fine you can choke it (i did it several times), and with the "Doppio" it'll make 14-15 gram pucks. The result with fresh beans is actually a nice espresso. But of course you are limited in temperature, you cannot do any puck prep, and I feel like the machine might struggle over time to bring the pressure needed. With that being said, I still feel the BTI is better of course, but this is by a wide margin the best I've tried that makes drinks with a press of a button.
Thank you so much! This is the best coffee related channel! @@TomsCoffeeCorner
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Hi, Tom! What grind setting do you use with this machine?
I moved overseas and had to part with my Breville touch and had been looking into which Superautomatic to try.. I was going to get the Magnifica Evo after seeing your review, but then I watched this and just ordered one! thank you. I cannot wait to get it.. Any suggestion on dialling in with the machine and new beans for the first time? The worst part for me is a new machine and a new beans combo!
Hi there! It depends on your beans, and how freshly roasted they are. Try with the grinder dial in the middle first, and see how it comes out. I've choked this machine with fresh beans and a fine grind, so it's quite capable of grinding fine. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCornergreat thank you!! It arrived today! So far so good but I’m sure there will be slight adjustments over the coming weeks
Hi, I have been told that this machine not working well with the roasted beans because of the grease
How did you get the machine to extract the coffee with good crema?
What settings? I went to store and it wasn’t as hot or had the crema as Jura s8
Freshly roasted beans and a grinder setting of 3-4. Doppio+ is the best option. Cheers!
I have a similar machine but when i select flat white it begin by the milk than the espresso, so it tastes and looks like a latte machiato, does anyone know what goes wrong with it and how to fix it? Thank you Tom
Just choose the 'cappuccino mix'. That's the only one that does the espresso first. I am not sure why they programmed the milk drinks that way. Cheers!
This video just convinced me to splash out £650 on this machine. I will update you when it arrives tomorow lol...got fed up using pods.
I think you'll quite like it. At least I do, and way better than pods!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner yes I honestly can't wait haha!
I have splashed out on some freshly roasted beans from a local roastery, bought full fat milk and am fully ready to tinker when it arrives in the morning haha.
Awesome review btw. Was out of this and the Elletta. And I don't drink cold coffee, so you convinced me with this one.
@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. If you don't want cold drinks, the Dinamica Plus is the clear winner for me. Cheers and have fun!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I certainly shall. It has literally just arrived 👌
I wonder how the Dinamica Plus compares to the Saeco Xelsis and Gaggi Accademia. I was going to go with the Accademia on advice from Marc from Whole Latte Love, but he sells Gaggi products and is therefore biased in my opinion. Thanks for the review.
I haven't tried either the Saeco or the Gaggia, so I cannot offer real advice. But, I don't really like Saeco (we had an old one in the office). Gaggia, no clue. Good luck with your search!
Between the DeLonghi dinamica plus and the philips 5400, which do you think would be a better choice? In my region both are at the same price and i'm trying to choose between them. What i'm mostly looking for it's the best performance.
Dinamica Plus is better. Better coffee due to larger pucks, stainless grinder instead of ceramic, and milk texture just a little better.
Nice review Tom! That little guy is really sweet.
Do you think the bluetooth app is only BT for safety? Seems like a cup waiting would be a great selling point for a superauto. Have you ever reviewed Profitec Go? I'd be interested to see how their PID works.
I’m not sure why they didn’t include a Wi-Fi card, as they are cheap. It sure would be nice to have a remote connection to the machine, and be able to start a coffee on your way home for example. I haven’t tried the Go yet. Hard to find a deal on one…hopefully soon.
WLL has a deal, $1 off. /not jokin. Looks like an interesting machine at 1000 dollar price point. @@TomsCoffeeCorner
Hey bro, would you be able to tell me whether or not you think this one is better or worse than the Evo? Thanks! Great video as usual.
Yes, this is a fair amount better than the Evo, mainly for the larger pucks and finer grinds possible. Cheers!
Thank you! @@TomsCoffeeCorner
Can you also use the milk nozzle without the milk canister?
If you have a guest that wants a milk alternative but your canister is full of regular milk, can you just use the nozzle to steam their oat/almond milk or do you need a second canister for these occasions?
Nope, you cannot. It's just a fitting that the carafe sticks into, not a protruding nozzle. Cheers!
Ordered the machine! Your video was a deciding factor.@@TomsCoffeeCorner
I am very interested in this machine however I am very intrigued by the interchangeable hoppers of which this one sadly doesn’t have. Any information on how to empty the hopper to change beans? Also just curious if you are planning on reviewing the KitchenAid super autos?? Thank you!!
Hi there! No plan at this point to do the KitchenAids...to empty the hopper, you'd have to vacuum or scoop the beans out of this one. Rivelia has interchangeable hoppers.
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately DeLonghi has no information on when they may release the Rivelia in the US sadly, but I appreciate it
Can we use it when there is no internet means manually choose the different kind of drink is it belt in the machine or only on app
You can completely use the machine without the app. Cheers!
Any downsides to using this in an office setting with the interface? Can less savvy people still easily come and hit a couple buttons and get the coffee they want without too much thinking?
Yes, I'd say that's the ideal setting. We've been using Delonghi superautomatics at work for years. Cheers!
Can you do a video on the Giggia Academia expreso machine?
Sorry, I think it's going to be a long time until I get my hands on one of those. I am sure there's other reviews out there though. Good luck!
Is coffee taste better than from Jura Z6 in your opinion?
I'm not sure I've tried a Z6, but I have been impressed with Jura more so than other SAs. I'd have to get one and try them side by side. Cheers!
