What makes this “De’Longhi” coffee machine unique is its width — it’s extremely compact and requires little space. However, the “Sage” machine is more professional: it’s equipped with a manometer, a metallized tamper, as well as separate nozzles for hot water and steam.
Place your cup under the portafilter spouts. Press a single-serving or a double-serving button (depending on which one you’d like to program) and hold until the desired quantity has been dispensed.
Yes, you’ll find such a tamper here.
At certain intervals (depending on how hard your water is), you’ll have to perform the descaling program using a special coffee machine descaler.
We also recommend immersing the baskets in a special solution (made using cleaning tablets) from time to time. This will help you get rid of coffee residues and oils.
When cleaning your milk frother, we recommend using a special milk system cleaner.
EC885 is an all-around upgraded model that features an ‘Arte’ professional-style milk frother and more included accessories.
The milk jug is not included in the set but can be purchased separately.

I’m not sure. This is my second machine since my previous coffee machine broke. For a long time I kept using the Zelmer, which has ridiculous reviews. In fact, its quality was not the best, on average it lasted two or three years at the most (I had three or four such machines in row). Now this express is unavailable so I had to look for something new. I didn’t think it would be that hard.
I tried the Krups Opio for a while, a total failure. De Longhi much better than Krups but still not what Zelmer did. I don’t know what it is. Neither of these two, i.e. Opio nor Dedica, can handle ground coffee. I had to dust off my old KG79, vary basic burr grinder. At the factory settings, the finest coffee, Opio still hopeless, Dedica at least drinkable coffee. A big improvement after dismantling the coffee grinder and switching to an even finer, than factory, grind. At least, Dedica is able to maintain parameters close to the recommended ones. I manage to put about 14-15 grams of coffee in a non-pressurized filter, brewing for 25-30 seconds I get 30 to 60 grams of yeld. Coffee brewed this way is not bad, but … still way from Zelmer, where I used a filter for a single espresso to get coffee I liked. In the morning, I didn’t have to play an alchemist counting seconds and measuring grams. I just heated the coffeemaker, the cup, loaded the coffee and after a while I had the brew, maybe far from finesse but at least devoid of excessive bitterness or sourness.

Great little machine. Makes a consistent shot of espresso. Good price. I am only giving four stars because it was shipped from Poland and not the U.K.

Did that mean you had to pay UK VAT on your purchase?

Fantastic service from The Coffee Mate team. Great product. Speedy delivery. Even got a free bag of coffee beans for a minor inconvenience that was swiftly resolved. Definitely recommend this site.
