At a glance
The Dedica Maestro Plus EC950.M is De'Longhi's top slim pump espresso machine. It has a 15-bar pump, a Thermoblock with three brew temperatures and an Auto LatteArt steam wand that can froth milk automatically or be used manually. Owners mostly praise the coffee, the compact metal build and how easy milk drinks are, which makes it a good step up for beginners with limited counter space. The downsides are noise, stiff or lukewarm auto-froth for some users, no hot-water function, slower steaming than the rival Sage Bambino Plus, and online-only instructions. A minority of buyers report early faults such as leaks, stuck warning lights or units that stop working, and there is no independent long-term reliability data to show how common these are.
Strengths
- Coffee quality is the most praised point across UK stores.
- Automatic milk frothing with three temperatures and textures, plus a manual mode that experienced users find forgiving.
- Slim 19 cm-wide metal body that owners describe as sturdy and good-looking.
Show all (5)
- Three brew temperature profiles and takes both ground coffee and ESE pods.
- Two-year guarantee at the main UK retailers.
Things to consider
- Noisy pre-infusion and steaming.
- Auto froth can be stiff, weak with lighter milks, or not hot enough (70 °C maximum).
- Some buyers report leaks, stuck warning lights or units failing within months.
Show all (5)
- No printed manual, and some find it fiddly at first.
- Slower milk steaming than the Sage Bambino Plus and no hot-water function.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?
Good for
- Beginners who want espresso and flat whites at home with hands-off milk frothing.
- Small kitchens that need a narrow machine.
- People who want to use ESE pods as well as ground coffee.
May not suit
- Anyone who wants a quiet machine.
- Enthusiasts after fast, latte-art-quality steaming or hot water for americanos.
Before you buy
Good to know
What the features mean in everyday use.
Temperature control
De'Longhi states that a Thermoblock with Active Temperature Control gives three coffee infusion temperature profiles. The Amazon listing gives these as 92–96 °C.
Automatic milk frothing
The Auto LatteArt steam wand froths milk automatically at three temperatures (low for plant milk, medium for cow's milk, high for to-go drinks) and three textures (dense foam, fine foam, microfoam), and it cleans itself.
Size and weight
UK retailers list the machine at 32.5 cm high, 19 cm wide and 45 cm deep, weighing 5.5 kg. It is slim, but deeper and heavier than older Dedica models.
Show more (13)
Coffee and accessories
It takes ground coffee and ESE pods. It comes with a tamper, a 350 ml milk jug, pressurised single and double baskets, a scoop and descaler. One John Lewis owner reports four baskets, with non-pressurised versions as well.
Guarantee
John Lewis and Currys both state a 2-year guarantee for this model.
Coffee quality
Buyers at John Lewis, Currys and Amazon most often praise the taste and quality of the espresso and milk drinks.
Design and build
Many reviewers like its compact footprint, sturdy build and good-looking metal finish, and several choose it for small kitchens.
Ease of use and milk
Many owners find it easy to use and like the frother for flat whites and cappuccinos. A UK reviewer calls manual steaming 'really forgiving' and 'very easy to learn with'.
Auto froth limits
Some reviews and a UK hands-on review say auto frothing tends to give stiff, cappuccino-style foam rather than latte-art microfoam. Some say it is weak with non-full-fat milk, and it tops out at 70 °C, which some users find not hot enough. A few buyers also found the coffee not hot enough.
Noise
A number of reviewers say the machine is loud, especially the knocking during pre-infusion and the steam wand. One owner returned it for this reason, and another says it is not as noisy as reviews suggest.
Reliability reports
A minority of reviews report early faults: machines dead on arrival or failing after 3 weeks to 10 months, water leaking from the base, a low-water or descale light that stays on, and a frother that stopped working. Fault reports make up a larger share of the few Amazon.co.uk reviews. Store reviews cannot give a failure rate.
Instructions and learning curve
Several buyers miss a printed manual; descaling and setup are explained through QR codes and videos. Some find the machine fiddly to learn at first.

Versus Sage Bambino Plus
A UK hands-on review prefers the Sage Bambino Plus. It measured steaming 150 ml of milk to 60 °C at 1 min 26 s on the Maestro Plus against 47 s on the Bambino Plus. It also notes there is no way to produce hot water, no 3-way solenoid valve, and that spare baskets rattle in the storage compartment. It found heat-up takes about 15–20 seconds.

Incentivised reviews
Of the 39 John Lewis reviews, 24 were syndicated from De'Longhi and tagged as incentivised. They are almost all 4–5 stars, while all the 1- and 2-star reviews there come from John Lewis buyers. This means the overall star rating likely overstates satisfaction somewhat.

What do reviews say?
See the common points first, then read the original reviews yourself.
Summarised from the 107 reviews we read. A review can mention several points, so the theme counts can add up to more than 107.
Owners mostly like the coffee: espresso, flat whites and cappuccinos are widely described as tasty. They also like the slim, solid metal body and find the machine easy to get going with. The automatic milk wand is a favourite with beginners, though some find its foam stiff or not hot enough and switch to manual steaming, which an experienced UK reviewer calls very forgiving. Common complaints are noise (pre-infusion knocking and the steam wand), the lack of a printed manual, and a learning curve. A minority report early faults: units dead on arrival or failing within weeks or months, water leaking from the base, or a low-water light that stays on. These reports are more frequent among recent Amazon buyers. Many of the most glowing reviews are incentivised launch reviews.

Does what it says well. I've bought a 2nd one after a year for use when away cruising on a narrowboat. Only slight negative is lack of good paper instructions for the descaling process. You need to scan a qr code and watch a video. That said its still straightforward.

Very poor customer service from or behalf John Lewis. The machine isn't turning on after 10 months of use. The warranty is 2 years, but only of technical support.

Delonghi Dedica Maestro Plus: Full Review in Basic and Advanced Mode
The De'Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus EC950 is an upgrade over previous Dedica models, offering both basic and advanced modes with improved espresso extraction and milk frothing capabilities. It features an automated, non-burn steam wand with temperature sensing and auto-purge functions, though the frothing process is noticeably loud and there is no dedicated hot water spout. Overall, it delivers balanced espresso and good cappuccino texture, though its value largely depends on regional pricing.
Key moments
- 01:07Comes with a larger, opaque 1.6-litre water tank to accommodate the automatic purging feature
- 02:37Equipped with a new 3-hole steam wand featuring an integrated thermal probe for manual and automatic milk frothing
- 02:59Lacks a hot water spout function, meaning hot water cannot be dispensed for Americanos or tea

DeLonghi Dedica Maestro Plus Review - A Worthy Upgrade?
The De'Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus produces good quality espresso when paired with a capable grinder and features an excellent cool-touch wand for manual steaming. However, its automatic milk steaming produces foam that is too stiff for latte art, and it lacks a hot water function. It also lacks a three-way solenoid valve and a 9-bar OPV found on competitors like the Sage Bambino Plus.
