In this comprehensive review of the DeLonghi Dedica home espresso machine, we explore why it has become one of the most popular choices worldwide. The machine's appeal lies in its ability to cater to a wide audience, making it suitable for both beginners and those looking for more advanced features on a budget. The review is divided into two parts: an overview of the machine's stock form and its capabilities, followed by easy modifications to enhance its performance.
 

The DeLonghi Dedica comes in various colors and includes a range of accessories, such as pressurized baskets, a tamper, and a pitcher. The machine's compact size, removable water tank, and intuitive buttons make it easy to use. It offers programmable options for different cup sizes and has a steam wand with a panarello for milk frothing. The review demonstrates that even with pre-ground coffee and the stock setup, the machine produces decent espresso shots and frothed milk suitable for latte art.
 

For those seeking a more advanced experience, the review highlights the possibility of using fresh beans, a manual grinder, and a bottomless portafilter with a single-walled basket. This modification allows for greater control over the extraction process, resulting in a higher-quality espresso. The review also suggests additional accessories, such as a proper tamper and a dosing funnel, to further enhance the machine's performance.
