De'Longhi Dinamica - Automatic Coffee Machine 4 Drinks Black

Pros - Customisability - Milk steamer - Quality of Coffee Cons - Not very 'plug and play' for casual coffee drinker - No included frothing jug - Slightly annoying cleaning cycle when turned on/off - Slight ambiguity in coffee selection button (minor) This was the first bean to cup coffee machine we have purchased after previously using a 'pod' machine. We liked the idea of a bean to cup coffee machine after using one at work Now we have the coffee machine set up to how we like it after a couple of weeks of trial and error it makes a fantastic cup of coffee. The machine itself can customise the taste of the coffee in a number of ways from bean grind size to strength of coffee to change how the pour tastes. This has taken some adjustments to get things exactly how we like. The bean grinder comes at a pre set level which we tried changing significantly but found that grind sizes 'in and around' the preset work best for this type of machine. Outside research told me that on these types of machines if you change the size too much, it can significantly impact the machines ability with the automated nature of pouring. The coffee options are simple to select although maybe not as clear as the manufacturer would have hoped. For example, it took some outside research the 'Luongo' isn't exactly a double espresso shot and contains more water than 2 espressos would. This can be worked around by just using the x2 button with a single espresso shot. The x2 button is a helpful feature when hosting a friend and you want to make a couple of good quality cups at the same time. The steamer is also very good and heats up the milk quickly! The machine doesn't come with a milk steaming jug though which was a bit annoying to have to purchase separately and not something I would have expected at this price point. One word of warning is whenever the coffee machine is turned off or on, it goes through a mini cleaning cycle where some water is expelled so just make sure you have a mug/jug under the spout to catch this water. Using a bean to cup machine has a distinct variability in itself in terms of the beans you use in the machine vary how the coffee tastes so if you have a coffee shop you love I'd recommend getting beans from there to so you know the taste you are going for. Overall it is an excellent coffee machine and while it will take a while to set up for a non coffee expert coming from a pod machine, it is well worth the effort and makes a significantly better cup once figured out with excellent customisability.

Fantastic Coffee Machine, had mine for 3 years now and still love it 🤩

Overall this is a really lovely machine, that produces brilliant coffee & froths milk easily with excellent results. The reason i have given 4 stars, is that there are a few annoying things with it. The cup plate scratches really easily, so spoils the look of it somewhat, i leave a jug under the spouts all the time so that it is not quite as noticeable. It wastes a lot of water on start up and when switching off, which is another reason for the jug. Set aside plenty of time when descaling as this takes about 40 mins. Found most of the factory settings ok, strength etc, although i did change the temperature to max, as i like my coffee hotter. But apart from those few things, i am really glad i got it. It is a lovely looking machine, and would recommend.

Looks nice. Makes great tasting coffee. Easy to use and to Clean. Coffee is a nice temp - some make it too hot.

Being an advocate of bean to cup De Longhi coffee machines, this is by far the best I’ve ever had. Love it. Good Black Friday deal too

Replacement machine from our delonghi cappuccino which eventually gave up the ghost (it did deliver 98,000 perfect coffees over a 6 year period) This is an updated model with the same perfect coffee...its brilliant.

Purchased this machine less than 4 weeks ago, first impression was it is a good looking machine, it did take about an hour to get up and running going through all the settings, water hardness etc but once I had gone through a few cups of it did make a good cup of coffee. Things started going wrong when after only 12 days (at about 5 cups a day that’s 60 cups) it called for a descale, this process can be paused temporarily but I did it anyway, this is a lengthy process of almost an hour of which you need to be in attendance for refilling tank and emptying of container which had to be balanced under outlets, but once done away I went again making nice coffee, then today only 2 weeks after the last descale it called for it to be done again, according to Delonghi site descaling should be about every 3 months or 300 cups of coffee not twice in 1 month and about 120 coffee’s. I did once have a leak from somewhere which flooded my work surface too much to be from the drip tray which has to be emptied on a regular basis, as this only happened the once I was not too concerned about it, the constant descaling however is a problem, how long is it going to last being descaled twice a month at nearly £500 was not prepared to take the risk and have returned it under Amazon’s 30 day no quibble refund. If it was not for the descaling issue I would have been very happy with this machine, perhaps another one wouldn’t have the same issue mine did but I don’t intend getting another one of these so shall never find out.

I bought this coffee machine as a gift for a friend! Highly recommended !!! My friend says it's the best coffee machine. Easy to clean 👌

Après plusieurs semaines d’utilisation, je peux dire que cette De’Longhi Dinamica est un vrai game changer à la maison. Le passage au café en grains change tout : l’odeur, la fraîcheur, la crème en tasse… on est clairement au-dessus des machines à capsules. L’utilisation est ultra simple : tu appuies, ça broie, ça infuse, et tu as un vrai expresso digne d’un café italien. La machine est intuitive, les réglages permettent d’ajuster l’intensité et la longueur du café facilement. La buse vapeur fait parfaitement le job pour les cappuccinos, avec une mousse bien dense et agréable. Petit plus : elle prépare deux cafés en même temps, super pratique le matin. ⚠️ Point honnête : elle demande un minimum d’entretien (rinçage, détartrage), mais rien de compliqué si on suit les cycles. 👉 En résumé : fiable, rapide, café de qualité constante. On sent que c’est une machine pensée pour durer et pour être utilisée tous les jours sans prise de tête. 💯 Je recommande les yeux fermés pour tous ceux qui veulent passer au vrai café maison.

Nos gusta tanto que nos estamos volviendo cafeteros. Mi mujer y yo éramos de un café al día y ahora son dos o tres mínimo. Hace un café riquísimo.. tan rico que ya ni usamos ni azúcar ni leche para tomarlo. La opción de poder elegir la fuerza del café nos viene estupendo, según de cuánta cafeína necesites en cada momento sin estropear el sabor. La limpieza es súper fácil y rápida, recomiendan limpiar la parte interna como una vez al mes, pero es tan fácil que lo hacemos cada dos o tres días sin problemas. La usamos para el día a día en casa y nos viene estupendamente. Tarda poquísimo en hacer café, no hace apenas ruido y queda muy bien en mi cocina/comedor. El sistema que tiene del relleno de agua está súper bien pensando y es comodisimo. Llevamos ya un par de meses con la máquina y estamos encantadisimos. Si lo hubiéramos sabido antes no hubiera dudado en comprarla. Ahora solo nos queda probar buenos cafés y encontrar nuestra marca favorita. Si que es verdad que usa mucha agua pero como el 90% te lo estás bebiendo tu. La bandeja que recoge el agua para desechar, se llena rápido aún poniendo una taza para recogerla. Es una máquina que se ve robusta, bien construida y hecha de materiales duraderos y de calidad. Es como mil veces mejor y más limpio que cualquier otro tipo de cafetera desde mi punto de vista. La recomiendo al 100%

Dopo circa un mese di utilizzo posso dire che sono completamente soddisfatto del prodotto. Dopo circa 5-6 anni di utilizzo di macchine a cialde volevamo toglierci dalla schiavitù delle medesime ed abbiamo deciso di provare una macchina automatica. La macchina consente di 4 regolazioni : temperatura acqua, finezza macinature, concentrazione caffèe e lunghezza . Inoltre ha 4 modalità: espresso, lungo, coffee (più lungo), Long (all'americana) Inoltre ogni modalità si puo' personalizzare a piacere ancora Il caffè esce con aroma e cremina pari al bar. poi col tempo si provano miscele di grani tostati in base ai gusti Con un apposito pulsante si possono fare anche 2 caffè per volta Il monta-latte funziona alla perfezione: cappuccino come al bar Ha il serbatoio dei chicchi e dell'acqua sul lato superiore e laterale abbastanza comodi All'accensione ed allo spegnimento viene fatto un risciacquo per mantenere puliti i condotti e questo consuma un po d'acqua ma capisco che sia necessario la cosa veramente comoda è che si usa il caffè in chicchi che viene macinato e compresso all'istante, questo vuol dire 1 - comodità basta dipendenza dal negozio delle cialde 2 - scelta di caffè di qualità superiore e macinato all'istante non perde assolutamente aroma 3 - impatto ambientale (basta cialde in plastica o alluminio) 4 - costo: il caffè in grani costa circa 15-20 euro al kg e si fanno circa 90-100 caffè (dato ancora in fase di controllo) prezzo a tazzina nettamente inferiore alle cialde Puo' essere usato anche caffè macinato da inserire in un apposito punto. La comodità assoluta secondo me è di accendere la macchina, mettere la tazzina ed attendere che la macchina faccia tutto: tempo per un caffè circa 30 secondi il caffè usato si raccoglie in un serbatoio facilmente estraibile così come l'acqua di scolo nel raccogli gocce Per gli sciacqui iniziali e finali metto un bicchierino per ridurre la frequenza di svuotamento del raccogli gocce Lato manutenzione: circa 1 volta al mese bisogna fare decalcarizzazione. processo automatico che dura circa 20 minuti. Per me, ribadisco, ottimo acquisto

Im very Happy with this maschine

Na een tijdje in gebruik te hebben steeds meer tevreden. Goed in te stellen, goede smaak als je de goede koffiesoorten hebt gevonden. Nadeel: schoonmaken is tijdrovend en gebruikt extreem veel water
