De'Longhi Dinamica Plus Fully Automatic Espresso Machine - Brew Personalized Coffee for up to 4 User Profiles, 24+ Recipes, Built in Grinder & Automatic Milk Steam Wand with 3 Frother Modes

My wife and I have been using this machine everyday (usually a few times on weekend). All of the drinks have been great. The system boots up fairly quickly and the water is hot and ready to go in a few seconds. There are lots different drink options and customizations are easy to make for size and strength. The system is great at purging and cleaning all the lines as well as alerting you when something needs to emptied or cleaned manually. Some gripes (still have to stay at 5 stars as these are minor and the coffee drinks are great) are the amount of purge cycles and water it uses for this. We constantly have a small drinking glass on the counter to catch all these purge cycles. It purges when it boots, finishes a drink, and when it shuts off. Great for keeping the machine clean and making sure the coffee taste stays great, but get ready to have a tray full of dirty water if you dont have an extra glass to catch the cleanings. My other complaint is the milk carafe procedure. We love to make lattes and cappuccinos so we constantly have it full and ready to go in the fridge. The problem is the attaching and detaching from the machine itself. The port is extremely snug and from a heat/brew it must cause a vacuum seal making the carafe extremely difficult to pull off the machine. I frequently feel like Im going break the connector or something with the amount of force I need to remove it and store back in the fridge.

Great machine. Costly, yes but makes a fantastic Latte with the right amount of cream on the head!

We drink coffee all day long and this little guy- we call her “Esso” S.O. If you’re naming your espresso machine your significant other it means it’s a keeper. We’re newly weds about 2 months so this review is in honeymoon stage- but fingers crossed its long term bliss. Everything is seamless so far- it does make a bit of grumpy sound when you wake her but the coffee she makes is really good, especially for an automatic. I think the pause after grinding the beans is what gives it that edge. Our previous EM (Phillips) passed RIP (destroyed by guest pouring water in her back- whole other story) and she was good- hard worker, easy and reliable but Dinamica is better.

I was a long time TK-01 user, and when the paper weight finally died, I went looking for a new automatic espresso machine. I settled on the Dinamica Plus from De'Longhi and I couldn't be happier. The machine is 6 months old, works flawlessly, and doesn't leak. It's made of metal, and you can just tell that it is well made. There are multiple settings for different coffees, and they all work. There is no problem with the coffee hopper sticking or jamming. The automatic milk dispenser works flawlessly, and overall the unit is easy to take care of. There is a learning curve with the machine, maybe 2 weeks, but really not bad.

After going to Italy and then France years ago my wife and I just had to have great espresso like the coffee we had in Europe. We since have had a fully automatic espresso machine and more recently a Nespresso machine. Obviously the automatic part is really important to us - no tamping or adjusting portafilters for us. We had forgotten what truly great espresso was like until we bought the Delonghi. This machine makes great coffee period. The strength and quality of drinks is highly adjustable to any taste as well as the volume. The variety of drinks that the machine will make with the tap of the touch screen is amazing. It is easy to maintain and lets you know when maintenance is needed. After researching fully automatic coffee machines for hours this is the one we selected and we are very happy. It is certainly not the cheapest machine but also not the most expensive. So far we feel it is worth the money.

Great product. The design is impressive enabling ease of use as well as a great cup of coffee or cappuccino consistently. This product lives up to the marketing info you find on the internet.

Poor quality control. Two DOA. First one was Amazon Renewed from Beach Camera. It leaked water internally. Clearly had not been tested or "renewed". I had to complain to get a free return shipping label. Second one was new from Amazon. It would not prime. Nothing on the De'Longhi website to help troubleshoot. I used a syringe to inject water and other steps, but no luck. Returned to Amazon.

Have used this same model many times, but finally added it to my home. I suspect delonghi has been making improvements over time because this machine is stellar!! I always found it intuitive to use, but the guided imagery on the screen makes it easy to make the selections and customize easily. The biggest improvement is how hot the drinks are … this can be controlled in the settings, but we like our drinks hot. And this is giving us exactly what we like!! The unexpected plus is that it is truly fully automatic. It literally does everything for you. Just load beans and creamer and you get exactly what you want … and fast. The one small ding to offer is that I’m noticing small scratches from the cups we use in the stainless steel tray below the brewing area. Would think there’s a way to select materials that wouldn’t do that … but I’m choosing to look as these as patina. Very happy overall and recommend without reservation!
