Every time I search for a video about a specific coffee machine your channel very reliably pops up at the top! Interesting and useful reviews, thank you, keep up the great work!
I got one. I got one. I got one…….and so glad I did. It’s a great machine. The expresso is excellent. Hadn’t got to to the end of the instruction so did not realise until I saw this vid that you can do iced expresso. Will so try that one
Just got a Delonghi ECAM35020 Dinamica today. What a great product! Our old standard, basic, manual Delonghi machine has started to leak after maybe 10 years of quite intensive use, so it was time for us to upgrade to a super auto. Most of the time we're americano drinkers, and the Dinamica does that easily, and the hot water coming coming off the paranello is super hot! (which wasn't the case with our old machine, so we usually boiled water separately in a kettle) No need for the kettle anymore, no more messing with the grinder, tapping, cleaning up the counter top, etc. It's our first super auto, and being used to do everything manually every morning this push-button machine amazes me! The Dinamica is based on the ECAM line, which is supposed to have a better and more reliable boiler than the previous ESAM series. We occasionally go for decaf, especially for late night dinners with guests, and since our old machine was ESE (pod) compatible, we found using ESE pods for an occasional decaf was very practical. The Dinamica can't use pods but can use pre-ground, so we just open up a ESE pod and drop it in, very convenient as it is already pre-measured for a single shot, which is what the Dinamica requires. We tried the "long", drip-style coffee but didn't think much of it (tasted bitter to us), the americano was much better for us. May be with a different grind or bean, one would have to experiment. So far we're very pleased, this machine has everything we were looking for!
Your old machine could possibly have easily been repaired for 100-200$ - “maybe”. By an authorized repair shop, knowledgeable w DeLonghi. My old ESAM 3200 keeps going strong, after a feew minor repairs. However, I did purchase this Dinamica unit on a whim. They make similar espressos on the finest grind option. *Note - this Dinamica does NOT have a top cup heating tray, compared to other DeLonghis
@@Igor-q3f Love it! Our Dinamica has been flawless so far, making 4 double shots every morning since we have it (3.5 years now). Absolutely no issues. Look up James Hoffman's channel on TH-cam, he did a comparison test of some super automatics, and the Dinamica got first position.
Thanks for the tip on not using oily bean - which holds true on all self-grinding coffee makers! I can't wait till my two machines need replacing. I have two on counter, self-grinding with 12-cup pot and another machine that uses expensive pod coffee and auto frother to make cappuccino and lattes. This appears to be my next "dream machine"
@@bobbelvick3122 I've had mine for about 3 days. So far I really like it. Wanted a quality espresso in a full auto with the option for drip coffee. Coffee is very good quality although coffee cup size is small at default. Luckily you can reprogram quantity up to 8.45oz per draw. Definitely a learning curve over my Nespresso!
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I actually ended up going with the Phillips lattego. I've been using it for a few months now and I really love it. The milk cup is super easy to clean since it has no tubes.
The host ruined this demo for me. Hey Jordan Benaderet, who cares if the DeLonghi Rep makes a crapy latte, he is there to demo his product and boost sales, which he did. I purchased the Dinamica because this demo reviewed the operation of each button. I have been using my Dinamica for a couple of weeks and I love it! A word of advice to the host of the Seattle Coffee Gear (Gail?) let the guests demonstrate their product and speak! Quit interrupting! Save your comments for after they have completed each section of the entire presentation! Gail's constant interruptions were very distracting. Work on that. Excellent product, excellent review of it's operation, despite interruptions!
Just bought this... thank you for the review! What's the proper size frothing cup? I see some people complaining it doesn't come with one & they purchased improper size.
Is there a variable brew extraction and pulse extraction? He also says you can use the bypass for flavored espresso! Like oily beans? It won't clog the inside of the machine?
What makes better coffee the Breville Barista Express or DeLonghi Dinamica? I read a review that says the Breville makes better coffee than a $4000 machine. Opinions?
Mine arrived today and made a delicious creamy cappuccino. I didn’t even do a double shot and it was 👌🏽 Thanks for the tutorial bc I can’t focus on reading a manual! 🙏🏽
Thanks for the review. I like oily dark roasted seeds from Peet's Coffee. And Im not actually "losing out" on flavor. Going to check out the JURA machines next!
can you put flavored oily beans in the pre-ground slot? since I keep hearing the issue is with the oily beans is with the burr and grinding but the pre-ground bypass.. bypasses that
@@GadgetsGearCoffee yes, there are two spouts, the coffee comes out of both every time, so you can position the cup or cups so one cup is centered. In the case of espresso, the two cups are placed so the espresso goes into both vessels, and you can hit the x2 and it will run twice, you just leave the cup or cups in place. I am still using this pretty machine every day. It's great. You can center one espresso cup, or position two so both fill, just press espresso then the 2x for it to run twice.
I've just brought this machine but mine doesn't have the over Ice button it's just a cup symbol I'm confused? Could someone shine any light on this for me please
Denise Aberin. Why not buy a less expensive machine and brew really strong coffee. You're going to have to ad ice cubes with any machine. She compared this model to a compareable but less expensive sako model which she described as just as good.
@PC And Switch Gamer facts... It's 8 months ago when I first started drinking espresso based drinks... learned a lot from people that care to teach unlike yourself. Get off your high horse "bud"... Goodbye!
Yes the hot water coming off the steam wand is quite hot, this is a great machine for americanos! The "regular" coffee mode tries to mimic drip coffee, but so far we didn't like it that much (tasted bitter. could be the grind or beans, I don't know). It's just over 5 oz (not a very large cup). We prefer making americanos with double shots in a cup then add water from the steam wand, and it's as hot as if coming from a kettle. The machine heats up very fast, almost no wait.
YES but based on reviews and responses - seems you will need to learn which grind and strength setting works best for the Americano. A few attempts at these adjustments should help you get the best cup of Americano for your taste.
Never put 'dishwasher safe' parts from high end appliances in the dishwasher. It's a nice sales tool, but you wouldn't put your Rolls Royce through an automatic car wash.
YOUR COFFEE BEANS SHOULD NEVER BE OILY!!! That’s a sign of over roasting and it’s terrible! People don’t understand that there is no such thing as an “espresso roast”, it’s a specific blend of beans to optimize the intended flavor of a particular coffee for espresso, it should be known as an espresso blend. This is why every legit specialty shop leans towards light roast, maybe medium at the absolute darkest. Also steaming half and half is great, it’s known as a breve.
I was a little worried about it. It feels and moves like it’s going to break on me but it’s nice not having to do any work it froths milk and milk substitutes just lovely. Use cold thought for better results.
@@soccerislife245 I've only tried flat white, espresso and cappuccino so far. They're all quite different. You have to adjust the settings for each type and personal taste
Wow DeLonghi has really American-ized their products to appeal to American consumers. No such thing as "iced coffee" or your "cup of joe" in Italy. hahaha
bonjour je suis KASSEN de MAROC de suis très intéressé par ce que vous faite et spécialement ce qui concerne delonghi, pouvez vous me donner le contact ou adresse mail de Mr Jamie de delonghi. je serai très reconnaissant et merci d'avance.
The man from DeLonghi seems a nice guy, but he has a staccato and jerky presentation style. This video would be far better with Gail just by herself. She is great!
Can’t do an honest review, when the vendor is right next to you, making a crappy latte. I’m about to change my mind about getting this machine after seeing how phony the rep was :(
@@SeattleCoffeeGear Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Although I'd say a cold coffee with perfect blend of coffee and milk with some hazelnut syrup is a match made in heaven.

I have this machine and i LOVE it!! I am careful to only use non oily beans. Had this almost 2 years.
Excellent video. I just purchased this machine and the video has helped me learn some of the basic operations.
How do you like the machine? I'm thinking about buying one. I've never had one like this before (I have a Ninja now).

Agreed
Just bought this... thank you for the review! What's the proper size frothing cup? I see some people complaining it doesn't come with one & they purchased improper size.
Mine felt too big and it’s one of the smaller sizes. Defiantly doesn’t feel right using a largely frothing cup
How do I adjust the amount brewed for a long coffee?
Is there a variable brew extraction and pulse extraction? He also says you can use the bypass for flavored espresso! Like oily beans? It won't clog the inside of the machine?
What is the button on top right? Is that a long? It does not seem as a strong as a double espresso.
Are there any machines like this that can brew iced coffee into a larger (ie: travel size) mug? The clearance doesn't look adequate with this machine.
What makes better coffee the Breville Barista Express or DeLonghi Dinamica? I read a review that says the Breville makes better coffee than a $4000 machine. Opinions?
Did you ever find out? Im looking around right now trying to find the best machine.
Love watching Gail's reviews
just received it today. It's amazing! Love it!
hey babes
I can set the espresso setting but I cant figure out how to program the double espresso?
Thanks for this review. I know it is not new but I am getting a new one of these now on a super sale. I wanted to know the features.
Mine arrived today and made a delicious creamy cappuccino. I didn’t even do a double shot and it was 👌🏽 Thanks for the tutorial bc I can’t focus on reading a manual! 🙏🏽
Lizeth Guxman. Your confession let the cat out of the bag by revealing that it's not only men like me that don't like to read manuals.
Model number ?? And i bought dunamica plus 370.85 , which one is better and why??
Hoping for some insight - Looking at a NEW Dinamica vs. a refurbished ECAM23210B Magnifica S - is the Dinamica worth the upgrade?
What size is the scoop? I lost mine! Thanks in advance
Thanks for the review. I like oily dark roasted seeds from Peet's Coffee. And Im not actually "losing out" on flavor. Going to check out the JURA machines next!
can you put flavored oily beans in the pre-ground slot? since I keep hearing the issue is with the oily beans is with the burr and grinding but the pre-ground bypass.. bypasses that
Unless you grind the coffee yourself.
Where do you put the beans
How do I make a pot of coffee, say for 8-10 people?
Can this machine make a really big coffee? Like big americano? I am asking bcs I want it for my dad, he likes really big coffee (without milk)..
Just a tip. You shouldn’t interrupt your guest every 8 seconds.
Does the double just double the volume of water or does it grind more coffee too?
grinds twice as well, two volumes into one or two cups.
@@deafinseattle1 so you could use it for 2 espresso cups as well then?
@@GadgetsGearCoffee yes, there are two spouts, the coffee comes out of both every time, so you can position the cup or cups so one cup is centered.

Wait you can't clean the grinder on the dinamica?

There are many models for Dinamica, this seems to be 35020
When I move to Germany, first thing I‘ll buy is this DeLonghi Kaffeevollautomat 🤩
Can this machine make one touch americanos?
Iced coffee?! SOLD!
Denise Aberin. Why not buy a less expensive machine and brew really strong coffee. You're going to have to ad ice cubes with any machine. She compared this model to a compareable but less expensive sako model which she described as just as good.
Can i set it to brew regular coffee in a travel mug about 12oz? Will a travel mug fit under the spout?
12oz is a lot of coffee. Try using the two cup at once option.

Does it make a HOT cup of Americano style coffee? Also, how many oz. of regular coffee will it make?

I was thinking that raspberries syrup would have tasted great in the iced drink!

Except this isn’t a Rolls Royce
Water tested...Instant Pot Veteran Approved!
Why does there always have to be that one person that interrupts so many times?
Mcdonalds coffee uses 35 percent cream in their iced coffees
They're terrible here, they just taste like cream

It doesn't make regular coffee like the magnifica. Sadly I had already bought this when I realized it only made expressos
No idea where you got that from. I've just bought one and it does all types of coffee. Look at the video.
@@MrT67 they all taste really strong and have practically the same taste. They are diff. Options but just about the same thing comes out
