At a glance
The De'Longhi Dedica Style EC685 is a compact manual pump espresso machine: 15-bar pump, thermoblock heating, a manual steam wand, and ground coffee or ESE pods, in a body only 15 cm wide. Owners like its espresso, quick heat-up, simple controls and small footprint, and many treat it as an affordable step up from pod machines. The trade-offs are a stiff portafilter, pressurised single-hole baskets that choke with very fine grinds, a learning curve over grind and tamp, low clearance over the drip tray, and basic accessories. A minority report steam or frothing problems within months. It suits beginners and small kitchens better than enthusiasts chasing café-level shots. Independent UK reliability data is not publicly available.
Strengths
- Very slim, space-saving design (149 mm wide) that fits small kitchens
- Espresso and crema widely praised; a clear upgrade from pod machines for many owners
- Quick thermoblock heat-up and simple button operation
Show all (5)
- Steam wand with hot-milk and cappuccino settings that many owners rate highly; also gives hot water
- Uses ground coffee or ESE pods
Things to consider
- Portafilter can be stiff to lock in or remove, and won't fit when overfilled
- Supplied pressurised baskets can choke with fine grinds; good shots need practice
- Some reports of milk frothing weakening or failing, and of steam wand leaks over time
Show all (5)
- Noise, a standby quirk, sparse instructions and flimsy plastic tamper/scoop
- Maximum cup height of 120 mm and limited clearance over the drip tray
Who is it for, and who is it not for?
Good for
- People moving up from pod machines who want real espresso and milk drinks at low cost
- Small kitchens or offices with little counter space
May not suit
- Enthusiasts who want fine-grind, unpressurised shots and stable brew temperature
- Buyers who want bean-to-cup convenience with a built-in grinder

Coffee quality
Most reviewers on Amazon.co.uk and John Lewis praise the espresso and crema, often compared favourably with pod machines and coffee shops.
Footprint and ease of use
Reviewers repeatedly mention the slim footprint, quick heat-up and simple operation once set up.
Steam wand
Several reviewers find the steam wand good for frothing and hot milk. A minority report weak or failing frothing within months, and a noisy steamer.
Portafilter fit
A recurring complaint is that the portafilter is stiff to lock in or remove, or won't fit if overfilled; some say it eases with use.
Shot quality and learning curve
Some reviewers say the supplied single-hole pressurised filters choke or drip slowly with fine grinds and need the right grind and tamp. One Amazon reviewer calls the pump too weak for a double shot. Forum users describe it as an entry-level machine with limited temperature stability.
Durability
Several reviewers report years of daily use (4-5 years on Amazon.co.uk; one John Lewis reviewer kept a previous unit for about 15 years). Australian owner Q&A reports steam wand leaks, steam failure and pumping faults after months of use.
Quirks and instructions
Reviewers mention a standby quirk where the machine must be switched off and on before brewing again, noise during brewing or steaming, and thin instructions or support for programming settings such as water temperature and hardness.
Accessories
The included plastic tamper and scoop are described as flimsy, and some buyers bought extras (better tamper, bottomless portafilter, ESE pod filter) separately.

UK availability and price
On the check date Amazon.co.uk and Currys sold the metal and black versions at the same price, and De'Longhi UK charged slightly more. John Lewis listed the model as no longer available online, and Argos and AO.com had no live listing.

Who it suits
This is a low-cost, compact entry point to manual espresso for pod-machine upgraders who accept a learning curve. Enthusiasts wanting fine-grind, unpressurised shots may outgrow it; reviewers mention moving to a Sage Bambino or modifying baskets.

What do reviews say?
See the common points first, then read the original reviews yourself.
Summarised from the 40 reviews we read. A review can mention several points, so the theme counts can add up to more than 40.
Owners mostly like the espresso it makes, its very slim footprint, quick heat-up and simple button operation, and many see it as a clear step up from pod machines. The steam wand is often praised for frothing and hot milk. The most common complaints are a stiff portafilter, and shots that choke or drip slowly with finely ground coffee in the supplied pressurised baskets, so getting good results takes practice with grind and tamping. A few owners report frothing that weakens or fails within months, noise while steaming, a standby quirk that needs a power cycle, flimsy plastic tamper and scoop, and sparse instructions. Some owners report years of reliable daily use, while others question its longevity.

H*** o*** t*** H*** 5/5 22 October 2026 Amazon Colour: Black
It’s time to do a review of positives and negatives of this amazing coffee maker. … But the coffee from the De Longhi is superior. … OK. One negative. If you leave the machine on too long it goes to standby and when it kicks back in, it won’t make coffee so you need to switch it if and on. … All in all, this is the best coffee machine I’ve ever had and after 5 years, it’s still going strong.
-
S*** M*** 1/5 2 September 2026 Amazon Colour: Black
I've been using this machine for 6 months or so. My overall impression is that the pump is not strong enough to force through a double espresso to the point where a decent amount of crema is created. … Otherwise, when you remove the portafilter to clean out the basket of coffee grinds, the basket get's stuck in the machine. This means you have to remove it with your hands and you get into a terrible mess. Apart from that the milk wand is good.
-
M*** 4/5 27 August 2026 Amazon Colour: Black
Really pleased with this machine. It was easy to set up and produces a really good espresso once you get used to using it. … One thing I noticed is that if you overfill the portafilter with coffee, it won’t slot into the machine properly. … The included plastic tamper and scoop could definitely be better quality, but they do the job when you’re first starting out.

This is a nice looking machine which has a nice sleek design and is compact enough to fit into my small kitchen. Basic operation is simple with a quick warm-up and brewing times, easily accessible controls and relatively quiet brewing. Some features such as water temperature can be customised but I had to do some internet searching to find out how to do these since the De’Longhi online support was pretty woeful.

A*** C*** 5/5 8 January 2026 Amazon Colour: Black
I love this coffee machine, it is so easy to use and heats up quickly. It makes lovely coffee and the steam wand is impressive, there are two options to choose from - hot milk or cappuccino milk. I have tried several coffee machines now, this one definitely has the best steam wand and the wand is easier to keep clean as the hot milk doesn’t seem to stick to it so much.
-
S*** J*** 5/5 18 July 2024 Amazon Colour: Black
Some reviews say that the coffee isn't hot enough. Well, you can change the temperature of the water. … However, I need to mention my next issue, I really really struggled to twist the handle to lock the holder into place. I found myself wrestling with the machine for several minutes. Having used it for a few days now, it does get easier and it locks into position without the wrestling.
-
s*** 5/5 13 August 2023 Amazon Colour: Metal
The filters are pressurised and use a small point in the middle. I changed them over for a more open basket. … The drip tray is pretty useless unless you are only using tiny mugs. It gives you very little clearance. … Noise. This is not quiet but it is a serious machine. … Space. This has a fantastic narrow profile so it takes up the same width of counter or desk space as a kettle…

This is the second one of these machines I have owned, having the first one for about 15years! (It was still working just wanted a new one). I like the fact that you can make a coffee easily and get the coffee shop result. It's very good VFM when compare to other ground coffee makers.

The pressure needed to heat the milk is not sufficient to do the job and the noise is ridiculous. We sent it off to De'Longhi to be repaired, but same problem exists. …

L*** 2/5 8 April 2025 John Lewis
We had this machine for less than three months before the milk frothing function started to malfunction, the milk is no longer frothy for a cappuccino style coffee. Also the coffee is tepid with the milk also cool on an ordinary setting. The descale light appeared only on a month of use and remains on after descaling! The machine is now being returned for a refund. …

N*** 4/5 8 March 2025 John Lewis
This makes great coffee but it definitely takes practice. If you don't get correct grind size, overfill basket, tamp a little too hard, the machine will choke and not deliver any coffee. Took me a while but i got there.
-
T*** 3/5 3 December 2024 John Lewis
The machine is too weak to pull a proper shot, which is a big negative for me, but it's fine if you're happy with coarser grinds. The machine's slim-line body was a selling point as I have limited counter space, but it makes removing/attaching the portafilter tricky. To be honest, avoid this if you want a decent at-home espresso option
-
N*** H*** 1/5 20 May 2024 John Lewis
I thought I couldn't go wrong with a De'Longhi, especially as I'd had other coffee machines made by them before. Unfortunately this is so badly designed that the 'cup' you put the ground coffee in to make the coffee blocks almost instantly as it has one small hole that the coffee is meant to drip through. …

K*** 2/5 26 October 2023 John Lewis
Looks good, however there are a few significant design flaws that led me to promptly return this machine. The programming function is quite confusing and despite multiple efforts, didn't work as described for me. The arm that you have to put on and remove(with the coffee in it) is incredibly stiff - the whole machine …

De'Longhi Dedica EC685 | Review, Coffee Routine, Upgrades, Modifications, Tips
The De'Longhi Dedica Deluxe EC685 is an affordable, remarkably compact espresso machine that heats up in just 10 seconds and has proven reliable over five years of use. However, its single-boiler system cannot steam milk and brew simultaneously, and its stock steam wand is relatively weak and slow. Enthusiasts can significantly elevate the quality of their espresso and latte art by upgrading to an unpressurised portafilter and replacing the steam wand.
Key moments
- 01:07Has proven very durable and reliable over five years of use, with a scratch-resistant matte finish that is easy to clean.
- 01:50Features a single boiler, meaning you cannot brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously and must wait for it to cool down between tasks.
- 02:05Compact footprint takes up minimal counter space, making it well-suited for studios and small kitchens.

Review of DeLonghi EC 685 coffee maker
The reviewer highly rates the De'Longhi Dedica EC 685 coffee machine, giving it a 9/10 after three and a half years of continuous, reliable use. It delivers consistently great espresso and cappuccino with programmable shot times, though the warming plate on top is relatively ineffective.

YouTube · Comparison
Delonghi Dedica Comparison - EC680 vs EC685 vs EC885 vs EC890 vs EC950
The De'Longhi Dedica EC685 is a compact domestic espresso machine that features pressurised baskets and a dual-mode Panarello steam wand for easy milk frothing. It reliably produces good espresso for beginners, though its 8 cm cup clearance makes fitting scales underneath tricky. It also lacks a three-way solenoid valve to cut off pressure instantly and requires manual cooling of the thermoblock after steaming.
Key moments
- 02:08The filter basket includes a removable inner insert with a rubber tab, making it much easier to clean and prevent clogs.
- 03:08The Panarello steam wand features two modes for hot milk and cappuccino, automatically injecting air for easier frothing.
- 09:44The machine only offers around 8 cm of cup clearance, which is not enough space to easily fit a weighing scale beneath a cup.
More key moments (3)
- 10:40It lacks a solenoid valve to relieve pressure after extraction, causing the group head to drip and requiring a short wait before portafilter removal.
- 11:29The espresso shot tastes pleasant and balanced, though it is slightly less intense than shots pulled from newer 16-gram baskets.
- 17:47After steaming milk, the thermoblock must be cooled down manually by running water through the wand before brewing another espresso.

How To Make Better Coffee on Home Espresso Machine: DeLonghi Dedica EC685 Tutorial
The DeLonghi Dedica EC685 is an affordable, compact, and stylish manual espresso machine ideal for beginners looking to learn basic barista skills. While its lower temperature and power make it struggle with extracting light-roasted specialty beans, it can produce enjoyable coffee with fresh grounds. Simple upgrades, such as using an unpressurised bottomless portafilter and removing the steam wand sleeve, noticeably enhance both espresso flavour and milk texture.
Key moments
- 00:25The machine has a compact, attractive design that fits neatly on kitchen counters and is priced affordably at around €150.
- 00:53It requires buying a separate grinder capable of fine espresso grinding as well as learning manual dosing and tamping routines.
- 09:12Milk steaming is slow due to the machine lacking the power of commercial coffee machines.
More key moments (3)
- 10:14The standard machine makes pleasant cappuccinos with a creamy texture, though the standard wand produces slightly too much foam.
- 12:08Upgrading to a bottomless unpressurised portafilter dramatically improves espresso extraction, sweetness, and complexity.
- 14:48Due to lower brewing temperature and power limits, it cannot perfectly extract light-roasted specialty coffees.
