I just bought this machine(2023) and am going to try it out.. My former machine was a Krups automatic.. A big machine which I used for 17 years.(and gave it away to another family., still in good shape) Now this smaller machine, seems to me even more useful and looks very smart. Making lattes is as easy as always for sure : first creaming up the milk in your glass and than the coffee on top.. No problem in my opinion...!

[@omarakram99]

For some reason it only allows me to do one frothing cycle. If I want to prepare a second drink, I have to wait for the machine to completely cool down and then make myself a second cup

[@durgaadhikari1810]

Can we change steam wand in this machine maam

[@ecscoffeeinc]

No the steam wand is not swappable

[@TammyMilkowitz]

I keep hearing that the buttons are programmable, but nobody says how to program the buttons, and I don’t see it in the manual. We are used to a larger cup of drip coffee, but this makes a smaller cup. Is that one of the programmable features? Could we make a larger cup of drip coffee, or would you suggest going through two cycles in order to facilitate that? We just got the machine yesterday, so I’m still trying to learn all I can! Thank you for your help!

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Hi Tammy! Here are the instructions for customizing the length :) 1. Place a sufficiently large cup or glass under the coffee spouts (A19); 2. Press (B8) to select the required strength (see section “13.4 Temporarily varying the coffee strength”); 3. Press and hold the icon corresponding to the coffee to be customised. The icon flashes and all the alarm lights flash 4 times; 4. Release the icon. The icon flashes and the machine starts delivering coffee; 5. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the coffee icon again. But just note that the coffee this machine produces is all espresso based and it will not produce a drip coffee! Happy brewing :)

[@mathieucastonguay4757]

Awsome review. And thank you so much about the latte art comments, I thought I was just really bad at it :)

[@SteveB1968]

I would love to have one of these machines on my counter-top.

[@alejandraavila7060]

Can you customize coffee intensity. I mean make it more concentrated?

[@ecscoffeeinc]

You can! You can adjust the grind size as well as the strength :)

[@raidergainzx5290]

What is the little red cube looking thing for? Is it even needed?

[@ecscoffeeinc]

The cube in the drip tray is a floater to indicate if your drip tray is full :)

[@raidergainzx5290]

@ecscoffeeinc Ahhh, thank you. Now my wife can stop saying it's an unimportant piece and hiding it from me!

[@cathysmith9656]

Good review. I feel better about the wand now.

[@alejandraavila7060]

Hello. QQ. Which one do you recommend the most. Delonghi Dinámica or Magnifica starter? My priorities are temperature (like very hot water), flavor/intensity and basic coffees (expresó. Brew and americano)

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Either would be great, but the DeLonghi Magnifica Evo with the frothing wand will have a 1 touch americano!

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

The DeLoni one? ;)

[@vahinewahine916]

would you say this is a good choice for someone who has a small space, and primarily wants coffee, espresso, and americano - with the ability to add frothed milk? we aren't really into lattes or more milk-based drinks.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

It is a good machine and a nice choice. Also look at the Jura Ena 4 (just does coffee) and the new Smeg Superautomatics. We have videos on those also

[@lee70687]

Maybe a silly question - could someone tell me what the machine is doing when I press the regularly 'coffee button' (not the long coffee or espresso, just 'coffee') is it shot of espresso with hot water?

[@ecscoffeeinc]

It is similar to a long espresso really. Water continues to pass through the coffee puck the entire time.

[@austinkinnunen4331]

I'm debating if I should get the Dinamica Plus or a refurbished Jura E8. I've heard mixed reviews regarding De'Longhi's reliability and customer service. Is there anyone who's owned one for an extended period of time that can speak into this? Thanks in advance!

[@MrXclusivE12]

I've owned a Delonghi for about 7 years now. has been working flawlessly. can't speak of current quality but considering a new Delonghi machine myself

[@vicfontaine5130]

Can I convert my Dinamica plus to have the frothing wand instead of the milk carafe it came with

[@ecscoffeeinc]

No, it is only compatible with the carafe :)

[@heatherd6624]

So torn between white and silver. The white is gorgeous but I think silver would go better with my other appliances.

[@AehreWemAereGebuehrt]

Isn’t this a super automatic?

[@ecscoffeeinc]

The definitions are a bit vague. Yes it is to some, but since the milk is more manual, we refer to it as semi. When the milk comes through a connected carafe and you have to do nothing, we call it super.

[@AehreWemAereGebuehrt]

@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks for the explanation. Tough terminology 😉 I‘ve heard people call portafilter machines „semi-automatic“ too. How would you call these?

[@Jprid]

We are not impressed with the frother. It automatically shuts off when we would rather do it manually because we use different amounts of milk. Also it does not extend deep enough into the cup. I add certain thing that sink to the bottom and need the steam to go to the bottom of my 20oz cup to mix them better.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Hi James! Sorry you are frustrated with your frother! The wand will shut off after a certain amount of time as a safety feature, as some people walk away while their milk is steaming, and to ensure that it does not get too hot, but you can always turn it back on :) The wand is very short! But the milk expand quickly when heating up, what are you adding to the cup to help them mix?

[@Greggiexplore]

Computer (LCD screen) failed after 6 months. Get extended warranty on this type.

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Standard warranty in Canada is 2 plus one years. So you should be covered

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

What I dont like ... All that plastic 🤨 I prefer all metal design

[@ecscoffeeinc]

Metal is great, but also really hikes up the price point of the machine and the weight!

[@krimke881]

If delongi are calling semi-automatic, they need to re-define machine, and semi, and automatic 😜

[@lucasrem]

Kenneth Karlsen Hello, we call this a semi-automatic, the milk steamer. i do suggest the Latte Crema version of de Dinamica, or the dinamica +
