Breville Bambino Vs DeLonghi Dedica: Differences Compared

[@craftcoffeespot]

I used single-wall (non-pressurized) baskets in this video, the Baratza Encore ESP grinder. Highly recommend single-wall baskets for the best espresso, and the Baratza grinder works great: amzn.to/3RtGeOn. Also, If you want better value and don’t care about steaming milk, check out the Dedica EC680. It is the same as the Arte except for the steam wand: amzn.to/3TaqvF4 (affiliate links)

My dedica arte came with milk jag, all the pressurized baskets, a metal tamper, a descaler and a scoop. Pretty good deal for 210 euros. If bambino was a bit cheaper I'd probably buy it instead. The prices here are 210 for the arte and 280-350 for the bambino (usual price is 350)

[@craftcoffeespot]

That’s expensive for the Bambino! Usually it’s $300 US

[@MikeSW.]

@@craftcoffeespot probably difference between euro and usd

@@XuSarah-k8s thank you!

[@MeowsonGaming]

My Bambino broke right after the warranty expired so I went with the DeLonghi. Hopefully I have better luck with this.

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@MeowsonGaming sorry to hear that. Real bummer with Breville timing.

Which expresso coffee bean do you use to get that creama for the bambino ? And I have the Cuisinart Burr Coffee Grinder and set at #2 but still couldn’t get that creama like the one in your video.

[@craftcoffeespot]

The Cuisinart grinder is the worst - really don’t like that one. Recommend the Baratza Encore ESP.

[@alinaqirizvi1441]

​@@craftcoffeespota good hand grinder should do the trick too, something like a Kingrinder K4/K6 or Timemore C3 ESP

[@elvan12581]

I think I would go for the Delonghi and put the price difference (between both machines) towards a good coffee grinder! Someone said that you date the coffee machine but you marry the grinder.

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@elvan12581 ha, good line!

[@theodosios2615]

I've had both models. I got rid of my Dedica because it never got hot enough. Apparently caused by the design itself. I love the Bambino. I never froth milk, so getting the Bambino Plus wasn't worth it for me.

[@craftcoffeespot]

Still wondering if there’ll be a Bambino killer. It’s excellent.

[@christophrathgeber7567]

Here in Germany the Dedica Arte comes also with an milg jugg

[@patuquillas]

What about the Breville Barista Mini and DeLonghi dedica compared? Which one should I buy??

[@craftcoffeespot]

Still Breville Bambino easily. Or Dedica. I don't care for the Barista Mini.

[@diegogutierrez7032]

Price of bambino is always $299 Price of Dedica is listed as $299, constantly on sale averaging $249, with lowest prices as $199 on Black Friday for example. And now in 2024 they include the milk jug The winner is clear

[@craftcoffeespot]

I think you'll find $100 for a better machine is well worth it. You get what you pay for.

[@72superlead]

How's the nost important part, the taste?

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@72superlead actually, pretty similar. Bambino edges it out a little. I go over this when doing the espresso test.

[@karthik3685]

the Bambino is way better. I bought a dedica arte and returned it for the bamino.

[@danielgonzalez6351]

Hey, nice video. How about de casabrews 5418 compare to the dedica arte, i can buy them for the same price, by the specs i like more de casabrews, what do you think?

[@craftcoffeespot]

I hear good things about Casabrews, but haven’t tested it.

[@bosiorne2292]

I think bambino makes better espresso because is 9 bar
