Good points. But you can purchase a bottomless portafilter, non pressurized, and choose the manual setting to time the shot you want from the Delonghi.
@@andylovephotography9717 you long press on the shot button for how many seconds you want to pour. Best is between 25-30 seconds for a single shot but keep in mind that the machine does a 1-2 second preinfuse.
@@andylovephotography9717 there isn't a manual option. You can either deliver a standard amount of coffee as it is preset, or you can change the delivery amount per button. Delonghi has a 1 minute video on this called "How to programme the quantities on your Dedica Pump Coffee Maker". The people claiming that there is a manual mode either don't realize what they're doing is reprogramming the machine each time, or they don't realize that they're using a normal feature of the machine which allows you to draw more coffee through if you press and hold the button within 5 seconds at the end of coffee delivery.
Spot on, watching this after my first use if this machine (ok, third by the time I figured it out). I think you nailed all the major hiccups. Need a separate grinder, tough for making multiple cappuccinos in a row, and limited flexibility. However, for home use, 1 or 2 drinks at a time, in conjunction with a grinder, great machine for the price. I like my American drip coffee, and now I can crank out a great cappuccino for the lady with ease. Nice and small and fits great in my small kitchen. Would highly recommend for those with limited space, funds and needs.
Merci pour le vidéo. Je voulais savoir si je peux utiliser sans problème un filtre classique non-pressurisé avec la Delonghi Dedica en adaptant le porte-filtre évidemment. Mais surtout est-ce que la machine me permet de le faire correctement(au niveau pression etc.). Merci de me renseigner
@Don Karbone, Oui sans probleme. Tu peux acheter un non pressurise filtre sur amazon pour £10 et ca fonctionnera parfaitement. Oui cette machine peut delivrer jusqu'a 15 bar de pressure et 9 suffira parfaitement. Je peux t'envoyai un lien pour le basket si tu n'est pas sur. J'envisage de refaire quelque videos aussi sur cet machine. Tu pourras y jeter un oeil. Tu as quoi comme moulin?
If you are going to review a product, I guess at the very least you should have used it recently or remember clearly all features? The Dedica, while being a toy for any person who is serious about coffee, with a couple of fairly simple modifications, can deliver great results, with both coffee and milk. Thanks.
@@jeffbuckleyfan4214 he didn't. He claims it's troublesome to make more than one drink at a time (he specifies making two coffees is a problem) meanwhile it's a breeze. The only time it would be an issue is for someone entitled who is used to the workflow of a machine at least twice the price, if not more, of this machine.
@@ceecee8757 the steamer and the water dispenser utilize the same thermoblock. To steam milk the temperature has to rise above that of standard operation for pulling coffee. Once you've steamed the milk you will have to spend time bringing the temperature back down to allow this machine to pull the coffee. In that time your steamed milk is ruined as the foam has separated from the liquid. The only one talking baloney is you.
Thx for your video. I have a jura impressa S90 and want to change to a barista machine. The problem you mentioned switching between coffee and steam you have with the most automatic coffee machines because the most of this machines have only one boiler too. so this is not a real problem for someone who want to change to a barista system. What i think about the dedica: its not the best on the market, but okay for those who start his barista experience and absolutely okay what you get for the price. you can change to an expensive one later if you unsatisfied with your coffee (machine)
Wtf is that man:)) that s not a real coffe...change the settings on it and make a real shot. The best machine can be the worst if the user doesn t know how to use it proper.
Hey Paul, hope you good. Always thought the portafilter could be changed as it is not great. It was my first Espresso machine at home. Which coffee machine do you know have?
A:Answer There is a plastic insert in the portafilter and it can be removed, there are several youtube videos on this process. I do not know if this is where the BPA material is located.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE. but the INNER tubing are also plastics. at this price point, there is no choice at all. you need to move to RANCILLO SILVA range to get copper tubings internal and full commercial portafilter. The reason an old timer like Rancillo is still in the market.
The amount of plastic is hardly anything though. Do you really see this to be an issue? Its not like a Tassimo where literally the entire thing is plastic.
You can’t use the frother while the machine makes the coffee ? Also does the coffee come out hot or warm, seen a couple of people say it comes out cold ?
That's why he mentioned you should pull hot water through first, or let it heat up. You can also adjust the heat setting. I've been using it on default and the only times I've ever had an espresso that wasn't the heat I wanted is if I try to immediately pull a shot after the boiler is heated, but not the machine.
I can't understand this guy, he claims he's used it for a month but still didn't know what the buttons on the top were for. Hmmmm
God bless

How would one do the manual setting? I cant figure mine out
@@andylovephotography9717 i'm trying to find info on that too!

For an everyday coffee pre grind can do the job for many people.
Honestly making up to 4 at a time is pretty simple, just need to know how to cool the boiler down to an appropriate temperature

@@TheFrenchReview Merci pour ta réponse. Comme moulin j'ai simplement un Graef cm90
What is the other machine you have?
Thank you so much for the review. It gave me an overview
what did you end up doing? did you buy it?
@@TheFrenchReview I am about to. It’s currently out of stock here in the Philippines. I like the metal,though.
Couldnt understand what it did not have?...... before you said either single or double but presurized basket.
Never had an issue making two coffees back-to-back on this machine.

Yeah I stopped watching he moment they said they haven't used it in 6 months.
Stop fussing. He did an excellent video

I could be mistakenly but I believe the recommendation with this machine is to steam your milk first, then make your coffees.
It's not, that's how you burn coffee in this machine.
@@epmcgee baloney. You steam your milk first.

I would have thought that at the price this would be thermoblock.
I hear you. Which coffee setup do you have?
The water temperature is great (hot coffee)
pourquoi les connoisseurs du café ont parfois des cheveux argentés ?
Nice english! Congratz
Is this better or smeg espresso?
How do you recommend keeping the station clean? Do you have a separate bin for the grinds near you?
Knock box.
Wtf is that man:)) that s not a real coffe...change the settings on it and make a real shot.
The best machine can be the worst if the user doesn t know how to use it proper.
This dedica 785?
Uhhh, plastic in the portafilter and the steam wand can be very bad for your health. Never drink hot liquids that passed through hot plastics
Hey Paul, hope you good. Always thought the portafilter could be changed as it is not great. It was my first Espresso machine at home. Which coffee machine do you know have?
the older model doesnt have plastic, they did that you can clean the basket.

Which is better this one or Breville bambino?
Breville 👍🏻
I've got this thank you
Nice one
Just a little point: I can hear the British English you got taught popping through on certain words! Or, is it Australian?! 😉
