I read comments, I read them again, and in the end, I wonder if we have the same machine with some commentators...

So, to the point:
The machine is decent for its price, and the coffee it makes is excellent. Should you find its golden mean? YES. If you don't want to bother at all, go for a machine with capsules (or buy ESE pods that this one supports), and you'll be drinking the same coffee every time without any effort.
However, if you bought this machine to make a proper espresso, here are some tips:
- One basic advantage is its brand and model. And that's because there are many videos on YouTube about its use, and if you want to delve deeper (more information below).
- DO NOT tamp the coffee too much in the basket. It is pressurized, so it creates its own pressure due to the small hole. Fill the basket just enough (only the double one) and tamp it with the plastic accessory, enough for the coffee to be evenly distributed. No need for exaggeration, it's better to tamp it by hand and not on the counter.
- No matter which supermarket coffee I tried, it never got clogged. It only got slightly more pressurized with coffee from Coffee Island cut at 2.0 and below (there's no reason to do it, I just tried it. If you don't ask them for anything, they grind it at 3.0 for you to understand the difference). Of course, I don't tamp it with obsession, as mentioned before.
- Read the MANUAL carefully! I see people saying that they sent it for service because the double shot button was producing a single shot... The buttons are programmable, for heaven's sake...
- The steam wand makes fantastic frothy milk, but it will give you a hard time when cleaning. For that reason, I removed the metal cover/pipe and left only the rubber wand with a tie wrap on its base, otherwise, it might come off and mess everything up (but even this is not a reason to send it for service, remember what I told you about YouTube? I learned it there too). Check the photo to get a better idea.
- Adjust the machine correctly (temperature, water hardness). Personally, I have the temperature set to high and the water hardness set to low (I only use bottled water with low hardness - it's written on each label). Zagori is an honest choice if you don't want to complicate things.
- If you want to delve even deeper, buy a proper burr grinder, a regular tamper, and a non-pressurized basket for the portafilter. This way, you will increase the amount of coffee in the double shot from around 14g to about 18g, which is the standard in most expensive machines (as well as in professional ones). The basket will fit just fine, as long as it's 51mm in internal diameter and you remove the inner plastic, the one that guides the flow. It's a screw and a small matter. No need to cut anything! And if a little coffee comes out of the screw hole, so what? Unless you're making coffee simultaneously in two single cups, then it's okay. In that case, either cut the plastic or switch to another portafilter (non-pressurized portafilter), you'll find endless options for the EC685. Of course, then you enter different paths, going for a hobby or a true, proper espresso. In the photo, you'll see the difference between the baskets, as well as a 51mm tamper.
- Clean your machine very well. And what do I mean by that: After each use, before turning it off, pour some water into a cup and clean the bottom of the head with a cloth. You'll be surprised by what comes out. If you don't mind, put the cloth where the ear hooks of the latch connect, it collects a lot of coffee. Also, remove the basket and rinse it well, as well as the filter from the basket (the one with the rubber attachment that you pull and it comes out). That's the whole issue. It collects coffee residues and easily clogs that small hole. I imagine I don't need to say anything about the steam nozzle, especially without the metal attachment. With proper cleaning, you won't have any difficulties in the future.

- Finally, I bought a plastic mat (jumbo) which I cut and placed under the machine (reduces noise, not that it was much anyway) and where you put the cup (the black piece in the photo), initially because with the vibrations during operation, a light cup can "walk" and secondly because the stainless steel there gets scratched for fun.

I hope I really helped because it is an excellent choice for this price. Enjoy your coffees correctly, especially now that we enjoy them more at home!

I proceeded to purchase this espresso machine, mainly based on the excellent ratings. However, I did not notice that many positive reviews analyze in great detail the ideal size of the coffee grind so that the coffee maker does not clog every time. This, unfortunately, is a SERIOUS FLAW of the coffee maker. Let's admit it. I have experience with 6 espresso machines so far and I have never had problems of this kind. This coffee maker clogs with the illy espresso ground coffee that I have been drinking for years and it drips drop by drop, unless I use much less coffee than I used to, so a diluted coffee comes out, like a French press. And as if that wasn't enough, the double espresso holder holds one and a half measures and still clogs, because this basket, due to its small size especially at the base, has much fewer holes compared to any other coffee maker. This is a manufacturing flaw that cannot be corrected and is not covered by the warranty. There are countless people struggling on the internet and suggesting various hacks. At least it makes perfect frothy milk, allowing me to make latte art designs (attached photo), while having a very good appearance. For latte art type frothy milk, you should completely remove the metal attachment and keep the nozzle slightly submerged below the surface of the milk, while using a special metal jug for frothy milk.

Unfortunately, I will need to point out other flaws. As an 11-month user, I have already taken it for repair once, as a month later, the double espresso button started to dispense the quantity of a single cup. I could not fix the problem myself with a hard reset and the machine had to be reprogrammed by the dealership, which kept the coffee maker for about 2 weeks. However, I read from an annoyed commenter that both I and the dealership had not read the manual properly. He probably knows better. Regarding the aforementioned problem with the fine coffee grinds, it was not resolved, as it is a manufacturing flaw.

Now I had to take it for repair a second time and fortunately the warranty has not expired yet. During the frothy milk preparation, the plastic nozzle was ejected into the small jug with the frothy milk, splashing hot milk all over the place. It swelled like a balloon, and then ... pop! Perfect? The best part is that I will receive the device after a month, as the entire frothy milk production system needs to be replaced (a special order needs to be made).

Now about descaling: The overall process is complicated, lasts about 30 minutes, and requires your continuous presence to switch between flow from the nozzle and flow from the coffee filter. In addition, it splashes all over the counter, as for about 30 minutes it ejects water from the nozzle into a container that you should place underneath and gradually fill with water. If you search on the internet, you will surely find some hacks for this, apart from constantly holding the container with your hand at a specific height, like the friend here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9zvVWZTchg) or constantly wiping your counter with a towel.

In summary, I consider this coffee maker to be one that instead of making coffee for you, needs you to... fix it yourself! To procure the necessary grinder to grind the coffee to the "correct" size, to find the "correct" coffee grinder and the "correct" brand of coffee, not to make the "perfect" coffee for you, but to avoid clogging. You will need to make sure that your cross does not break outside the warranty and have infinite patience and specialized knowledge to adjust to its needs, sometimes even procure a saw or an angle grinder to make your coffee with some patents, but having risked everything regarding the warranty.

I received the machine today, having now realized how much better a cappuccino an old and much cheaper espresso machine made, which I used in the meantime. And this for the simplest reason that its basket was the right size and shape (it could fit two coffee measures and had enough holes in its base). So I did what so many others do: I cut the plastic cover of the filter holder (initially I removed it completely, but the coffee splattered everywhere while ruining the crema) and put another basket from a broken espresso machine I had, with a diameter of 51mm. And behold: the cappuccino tastes like coffee again, while I won't need to throw it away (for now at least).

22/1/2021
I now use a much better espresso machine (Sage Bambino Plus) and sent this one to work. However, I want to emphasize something very important: The patent with the non-pressurized basket and the supply of a good grinder can be done with any espresso machine on the market. This will greatly upgrade the quality of the coffee, whichever espresso machine you have, as long as you find the right grinding settings (I have a Sage Smart Grinder Pro). So I don't understand why this should be an exclusive feature of this particular machine at the moment you should even cut off its plastic part. Today I tried this exactly on a much cheaper Arielli, without having to ruin any part of it, and indeed the coffee came out much better in taste, better than that of Delonghi. I think the main reasons why this particular coffee maker is so popular are its appearance, some automations, and the fact that it heats up relatively quickly.

22/2/2023
It seems that Delonghi finally recognized the manufacturing flaw with the double basket of the Dedica that only holds 14 grams of coffee and makes it watery. They released their new model that holds 16 grams, but still without a non-pressurized basket. It is the Dedica Arte. There is also the Dedica Maestro, with a non-pressurized basket and many other features that significantly increase its price

    This is the second one I am getting. I retired the first one after 5 years of operation, out of fear it might break and I wouldn't have coffee!!! Subjective opinion, but I find it perfect!!! WARNING it doesn't want finely ground coffee, like illy, because it clogs

    Good machine especially for beginners. Good coffee even from several cafes. For better results, find a blend from roasteries and a ground portafilter.

    Both my wife and I (she is more particular than I am) have cut out coffee from outside. The coffee he makes is really very good. First, get informed about some basic principles in espresso coffee preparation (brewing ratio and extraction times) and then you are ready for many good coffees! 1.5 years of use and it still works like the first day.

    The machine is consistent and reliable. The water heats up quickly and the extraction duration is sufficient for our coffee to be aromatic and flavorful. For the past year that I have owned the machine, I have been able to enjoy better coffee at home compared to what many stores offer. I highly recommend the machine.

    For its money, it's fine. Compared to a gaggia classic that I have at home and have been using daily for years, the De'Longhi is inferior but if you want a low budget solution this De'Longhi will pleasantly surprise you. For a hot espresso, its pressurized filter basket produces a very satisfactory crema from ready-cut lavazza coffee from the supermarket. With a little practice and adjustment, it is a very good entry level tool.

    The coffee maker broke down in two years with moderate use without being pressured. Unfortunately, it didn't prove to be as good as the name it carries.

    Very good, even for someone who has no experience in using these machines ... the result depends on the coffee of course, but it is comparable and maybe even better than coffee in a café

    Excellent machine for its price. I have had it for about 2 years, the only downside is that its portafilter does not hold enough coffee for the freddo espresso and I had to buy another one. This is of course subjective, but I needed a larger coffee dose and with its portafilter, I often had to make 2 doses.

    It has its peculiarities. Second day of use, everything works fine. At least for me. With ground coffee at 2.5 from a coffee shop.

    With one scoop fill, in any portafilter and pressing single dose. I drank very good coffee.

    When I put two scoops it sticks and doesn't come out at all. Probably needs a bottomless portafilter, maybe even a different grind. So now this is how I will proceed, I do two fills, two singles and I get a pretty good fredo.

    There are issues like grind-basket-machine relationship. If you want to make a third coffee in a row you have to let it cool down because it will come out burnt. And maybe other issues.

    Overall it is a great value for money purchase if you adapt to its capabilities.

    4.5 due to the hassle in extracting coffee with two scoops. I will come back in the future.

    After two months, still flawless. With Jacobs espresso exclusiva it makes an incredible fredo. With two scoops it's a bit difficult. With 1.7 scoops incredibly

    Awesome! It is semi-automatic and accurately measures the time on its own, depending on the coffee grind and water temperature. It is very compact and fits everywhere!

    The coffee is unfortunately like water... The filter cup allows you to put very little coffee... If you put more, it bursts and doesn't release it... The frothy milk is just milk with bubbles of water... This is the 5th coffee maker I've changed in 20 years and it's the worst of all... Even worse than my first one, a Krups... I honestly don't understand the reviews... They probably have never had good coffee in their lives.

    Unacceptable. The coffee doesn't run at all. Not powerful at all. I regret not buying the BAMBINO from SAGE for 150 euros more. I've had it for two months and I posted an ad to sell it.

    Undoubtedly the best choice at this price. Easy to use, easy to clean, and with good quality materials. As a home machine and not a professional one, it is decent for both hot and cold coffee. In any case, you need to experiment until you achieve the desired result for your coffee. And above all, read the instructions carefully to properly program the machine.

    Personally, I only struggled with the milk frother, but the mistake was mine until I figured out the proper way to prepare it. I tried different temperatures with the milk and eventually the perfect frothed milk is made at 55-60 degrees Celsius, with any type of milk.

    It is better to purchase a better tamper (because the one it comes with is plastic and can easily break) and the machine is value for money in every aspect.

    I have it for more than a month and I declare myself excited.
    I read the instructions before using it and I didn't need to look at them again.
    Personally, I drink espresso and cappuccino.
    The frothy milk is shockingly good.

    Excellent machine...Reliable coffee, easy operation and cleaning (every now and then needed).
    I have it for 1.5 years and I am absolutely satisfied.
    I have not made any adjustments and still the coffee is very good (both freddo and cappuccino).
    I suggest trying some coffee varieties and finding the one you like best.
    In many cases, your coffee will be better even than cafes outside.

    Disappointing purchase! The build quality is tragic! Like a plastic toy. Very difficult to use because of how lightweight it is! Mediocre coffee as a result. But not even worth its money! It's a coffee maker that should cost 50-70 euros at most!!!

    We are talking about one of the best household appliances I have ever bought!! I have had it for almost 5 years with strong use and it has never disappointed me!! Enjoyable coffees using quality coffee varieties such as hausbrand, danessi, etc.. The key to the good operation of the machine is the correct maintenance!!

    For the money, it is the best available. For quick coffee, get capsules. For good coffee, it is the bitter choice. If you find the variety that suits you, you will not buy from outside again.

    The machine is very good for this price range.

    IMPORTANT: everyone should buy a better tamper for about 15 euros, because the one it comes with is not good.

    You can use it as it comes out of the box (except for the tamper), with the pressurized basket and medium quality ground coffee, and it will give you a decent espresso but quite honest and good coffee at home. However, if you combine it with a non-pressurized basket and a grinder, then it goes up a few levels and will give you coffee that is definitely better than some coffees outside.

    It will definitely not give you the perfect result, but if you get involved and experiment with times, coffees, etc., the result will reward you. To reach a higher level in the taste of coffee than what this machine offers, you have to spend 500 euros.
