Delonghi Dinamica Plus Superautomatic Coffee Machine Review

[@heroprodygee]

Hi Tom, I'm at the verge of getting this model due to your experience and review, thanks for that. It seems that the 380.95 has replaced this model. The max pressure went down to 15 bars from 19. Would this make a difference. Also do you have any 'inside info' due to your experience in the coffee-world on if the espresso is as good on this model? Appreciate your time to put out these videos!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@heroprodygee The machine looks the same to me. Delonghi just uses a bunch of descriptors for the same model, but sometimes with different colors/trims. They should perform just the same. And neither produces coffee at 15 or 19 bar. That's just confusing. Cheers!

[@heroprodygee]

Appreciate your reply! That helps out! Will decide what to get this week! Either this one or maybe a Bambino Plus!

[@DamianNocun]

Hi Tom, you have a really great channel, since beginning you can tell that you are a coffee lover. What would you recommend based on your tests ? Dinamica Plus discussed here or Eletta Explore ?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@ Thanks so much! They are both good machines, and pretty much equal. The Eletta does cold drinks if that’s interesting enough to pay more for it. Cheers!

[@liliana6154]

I just got this machine in December 2023 and I am still in the process to get to know the features. This video is extremely informative, thank you. I enjoy this machine, it is my very first automate coffee maker and I am still in the process of discovering the complex capabilities. So far my favorite drink is Cappuccino Macchiato :)

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks for your input, Liliana!

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

Quick update, I decided to go ahead and buy this machine and have just enjoyed what is probably my 10th coffee so far and it has only been here a few hours at the most lol, I have calmed down now but there are still so many options and bits I want and need to look at. Thanks for your videos and advise and all of the awesome information. Having never owned any machine at all like this before as far as coffee or drinks in general, I think going for this rather than jumping right in at the deeper end with a more expensive model, which I almost did, was the best choice for me, so far I love it but I have to learn the settings, whether I have the grind ok and the beans I am using, the water is ok but the coffee so far tastes beautiful, managed to set a latte already on my profile lol. Like a kid with a new toy Thanks again for everything

Thanks Tom great review. I like the format of your videos. Sometimes it has the action of a coffee puppet show as you scramble behind the stage to prevent a Punch and Judy battle with hot espresso and frothed milk. Keep it up your presentations are very informative and always interesting.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Haha, thanks much for the feedback!

[@EdDetlie]

Thank you. Based in part on your helpful videos, I purchased the Dinamica Plus Connected. Your tutorials such as this one ^^^ have been very helpful in getting started. The ability to adjust grind, strength, water and the type of milk froth has been great. I am very pleased. As you noted, the app is okay, not great.

[@kitcraft9516]

Definitely a consideration for my wife. Both her and my in-laws, who spend a lot of time with us, love to drink coffee but hate to make it. My wife won't touch the espresso machine either. As of now she uses the nespresso machine and nano foamer but doesn't like it as much since I got an espresso machine. So, something that could get her 90% of the way there but be her go to when I am not home or busy would be great. While I have considered something like the Impress touch, I think that is more work than she wants and not enough manual control for me, lol. Besides, I already have my "toys". Flair, picopresso, bambino plus etc. Thank you for always considering everybody and not just making reviews on one type of machine! It is super helpful.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sounds like the Dinamica could fit the bill. Oh, and I know what you mean by using your espresso paraphernalia in manual mode - it's quite fun. Cheers!

About 4-6 lattes a day with our Dinamica plus over 18 months with no issues. We use filtered water, de-scale when it says to, regular cleaning of drip tray, brew group, and milk carafe.

[@navidrahimzadeh]

I am on the same boat as you. D is made in Italy and M in Romania. D uses bigger puck size compared to M. D looks nicer and stronger than M. D's software is older than M and does not have the extra shot function as far as I know (bigger puck size may compensate for that though). The only advantage I would give to M plus is the new software and additional flexibility it gives to user. Having said all of this, I am going to order D Plus today.

I wonder how the Dinamica Plus compares to the Saeco Xelsis and Gaggi Accademia. I was going to go with the Accademia on advice from Marc from Whole Latte Love, but he sells Gaggi products and is therefore biased in my opinion. Thanks for the review.

I haven't tried either the Saeco or the Gaggia, so I cannot offer real advice. But, I don't really like Saeco (we had an old one in the office). Gaggia, no clue. Good luck with your search!

Hello Tom. Have you ever find a super automatic that produces an espresso as good (or as close as possible) as a barista style (like Sage's/Breville's) machine?

Can u store the milk cannister in the fridge

[@lukehanna7440]

Great review, thanks a lot, it encouraged me to order the Delonghi Dinamica Plus. If it was just for me I would have gone with a sage oracle touch, but my wife wanted full automatic. I’m a bit annoyed though, as I wanted the profiles with the app to set the different drinks we like, & from my research I thought the plus meant it could connect to the app. I was wrong and the one I ordered doesn’t have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi so I can’t set up different users and I didn’t realise until I’d set it up and had made a load of coffees. Never mind, the coffees seem nice and it foams oat milk ok.

[@utkua]

Bought one, I have developed taste for Nordic style roasted single origin coffees because of a coffee shop near by, beans are dense, low-medium roast so harder to extract. Surprisingly this machine have me a great espresso after tweaking a a bit, increased coffee amount, lowered grind size, increased temperature, it is almost the same taste I get in the coffee shop. I was using an eletta cappuccino top before this, but grinder was not doing well after 5 years, and I never did receive flavorful coffee with the same beans. Dinamica is good.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks for posting your story, and experience with the machine! Tom

[@kirtose]

i absolutely love this machine. have had it a year now. the app is a little silly imo unless your changing your coffee setting. you can turn the machine on and off with your app. and brew drinks with it. you cant leave a cup there to brew when you get up because your cup fills with the starter water before the drink is made. so you have to be in the room to brew your coffee anyway. there are instances you can use it. like if its on all day and doesnt need to come on before brewing.

I just bought the Philips model 5400. How would you compare delonghi to Philips? Thanks

Honestly, I like Delonghi better. The Philips seems to limit puck size to 7 grams, at least for me. Maybe someone knows how to increase that? The Delonghi makes up to 14 gram pucks, which for me is important. Cheers!

[@quovadis5890]

If you can review the Delonghi Primadonna Elite and the Miele 6160/6360 and compare them would be great!

[@CechMtl-gm9yq]

Great reviews, love your channel. In Canada, the Dinamica Plus is double the price of the Magnifica EVO. I've tried the EVO and I am really impressed with the shot, much better than the Philips 5400. I think the EVO has all the drink selections I need, but do you think the Dinamica Plus is worth the upgrade and additional cost?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

The biggest advantage in my opinion of the Dinamica over the Magnifica are the larger pucks. But yes, the Magnifica Evo is already much better than the Philips, imho. So, if you're satisfied with the Evo, stick with it. For me, the Dinamica would be worth the upcharge, but it's also not much of a price gap between the two in the EU.

[@CechMtl-gm9yq]

@TomsCoffeeCorner I think the puck size should be the same considering the brew unit in the machines are identical. If you are comparing the dopio option in the Dinamica, then that can be achieved by pressing the 2x button before the espresso on the EVO. I've just tried it and it seems to pull an 80ml shot. Actually, it was overextracted as it came out very slow due to the fresh lighter roast beans I had in the machine. Something the Philips was never capable of doing.

[@leticianemeth4651]

Hi Tom. Thank you so much for your review. This video is awsome. Can I ask which model is it exactly? According to the Delonghi website there are 3 different model numbers and I just want to make sure i am getting the right one. Thank you.

Great review! I'm not much of a "coffee snob" (sorry for using that term, but hopefully you know what I mean), but I do enjoy a nice cup of coffee... I've been using a Keurig for 10 years, and a Tassimo before that (I liked that MUCH better than the Keurig), but admittedly, those don't make good coffee. Now that I'm permanently working from home, I really need something better than the brown water the Keurig gives me. This sounds like it's exactly what I want... And, the thought of being able to make my own flat whites, is a big selling point for me. I got hooked on flat whites, on some business trips to Australia (that was the first time I'd ever heard of then). I also like the idea of buying whole beans and having freshly ground coffee every morning.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

This is also better for the environment. The milk foam is quite good. I'd suggest using the Doppio+ for a nice 14 gram dose, too. Cheers!

Nice review👍🙂 I understand that espressos should brew for about 25-30 seconds to get the right extraction?

I just dont get it😛, what is right about the timing on superautomatic espressomachines? Thx🙂

Any suggestion on dialling in with the machine and new beans for the first time? The worst part for me is a new machine and a new beans combo!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hi there! It depends on your beans, and how freshly roasted they are. Try with the grinder dial in the middle first, and see how it comes out. I've choked this machine with fresh beans and a fine grind, so it's quite capable of grinding fine. Cheers!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hi there! Well, it's really user dependent. I like to use the hottest setting, and set the 'Aroma' to 5 beans, and limit the water, to get a nice concentrated drink. My favorites: Doppio+: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, stop at 40ml Cappuccino Mix: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, 30 seconds milk froth Caffe Crema: 5 bean aroma, hot temp, 150ml water Cheers!

[@annemarielorusso]

Hello Tom, I just bought this machine and will be picking it up today. Not sure if I missed it but do you have an opinion on the type of beans to use? My old super-auto just died after 10+ years so this Delonghi is my upgrade. My old machine didn't handle even slightly oily beans and would eventually get gummed up. Should I steer clear of any amount of oily beans with this machine? Watched your whole video which made me more confident when making the decision to buy so thank-you.

[@hv9476]

I bought this device as new in August 2020. Whit in 6 months, the milk frothing did not work properly anymore so I had to send it in for repair, 3 times before it was repaired properly. Since then it broke down approximately every 6 months. I try to do the repairs myself because it would cost me a lot to have someone to repair it for me. I’ve had a water leak repair, an electro valve repair, a blockage of the milling device due to foreign material in the coffee beans and at this moment I have again a problem with the milk frothing. I ordered a new the frothing nozzle and I am going to try to install it myself. Really not satisfied with this DeLonghi Dinamica Plus ECAM 370.95T. Luckily there are some repair videos on KZbin to help to repair it myself.

[@BJH-r5s]

Delonghi gave us a brand new Dinamica to replace a failed refurbished Magnifica. The Magnifica failed in 2 months, and the Dinamica failed after approximately 2.5 years. Normally it would have had a three year warranty, but since it was a warranty replacement Delonghi determined it only had a 6 month warranty which likely leaves us paying out of pocket for a new transmission. We impeccably maintained both machines. The original Starbucks Magnifica we had was comparatively bulletproof! The newer machines build quality is very poor (both the Magnifica and Dinamica). We have multiple friends who’ve had similar reliability problems. For now, we’re using our daughter’s Nespresso Vertuo which is great except pods are ridiculously expensive, and the reliable old grinder and French press! Good luck with any newer Super Automatic!

I would go for the Breville options but they are too big for my bench. The Delonghi ones are a good compact size.

The Coffee Link app is also easy to use and the other reviews don't feature it enough. Bonus: there is also a coffee pot option if you have multiple guests over that just want a good pot of coffee.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I think it's cool that it offers the coffee pot feature - I wonder how often that's used? Since I just make coffee for my wife and I, it's not a feature I have tested yet, but it could be good when you have a group of people over. Oh, and the app is fine, but slow like molasses. But it's the best way to do the initial setup, imho. Cheers!

I purchased a De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM 370.95.T in September 2021 and it’s been brilliant, this looks like the same model. I highly recommend this model.

the machines are different

[@jprusso224]

Thanks Tom for the review. Just got that machine for x-mas as a replacement for a 13 year-old Magnifica 3300. Quite an upgrade indeed. Just a question though. It seems that the newer machines waste a lot of fresh water in the drip tray "while" making the coffee. And I'm not talking about the rinsing. I'm very careful on always putting something under the nozzle. But there is a lot of water accumulating and according to the website, it's "normal". Would you (or anyone reading this) know why it's wasting so much water?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

It might be over pressured water, getting diverted into the tray. I haven't really noticed myself, but I haven't been monitoring it. Cheers!

Hi..thanks for your video! A question.. is it better the new rivelia or that dinamica plus from DeLonghi?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I haven't tried the Rivelia, so I cannot comment on that. Sorry!

[@milenkoatkinson4163]

Just bought the machine and it’s still not as hot as I would like..where is that setting to make it extra hot that you mentioned in the video? I run a rinse cycle warm my cup and have the temp in the settings to high as well..I’m in Canada so we have the US model here. Thanks very much for a great video!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hi there! I just tried mine again on a Coffee (coffee crema), and it's very hot for me on the 'hot' setting. Nearly too hot to drink at first. That being said, make sure to warm your cups first, as this is important with any machine. Anyway, which drink on the machine isn't hot enough for you? Cheers!

[@milenkoatkinson4163]

Thanks so much. The warming of the cup with the hot water is key along with a machine rinse prior to brewing does the trick for my coffee setting! Even the espresso is hotter but not to the point where you can’t just do a quick shot and go. Great channel and your videos are awesome. I’ve learned so much watching 😊

[@yayless]

Hey Tom theres one in my area used for only 100 USD is it worth picking up?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

If it's functional, then yes that would be a steal. Cheers!

[@lenrarodanob6397]

Thanks Tom for your review of Dinamica Plus. I bought this last month and chose over the Philips LatteGo. However watching how you have a good crema on the dopio and long, I wonder how can I have the same results on my Dinamica plus? 😅

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

You can. Just use some good freshly roasted beans (tip: 20%. robusta adds extra crema).

[@LifeByKpop]

Nice review Tom! That little guy is really sweet.

[@tutilot]

Hi Tom, thanks as always for your truly punctual reviews. I tried the Dinamica Plusfor a few days, but it did not convince me above all because the espresso did not leave hot, but lukewarm. Is there a way to get it out very hot? Or would you recommend a machine for espresso that brings out very hot coffee?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Mine has a nice temperature but admittedly is not quite as hot as the Sage Dual Boiler. But still a fine espresso. Did your shot run long or short? What beans and grind setting?

[@tutilot]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner I shot run short (espresso 40ml), grind setting 4 or 5

[@pdek32]

I currently have a Philips 4300 Lattego, but I am moving and my roommates love that machine. Thinking about selling it to them and getting a new machine. Would yall go with this Dinamica or the Philips 5500? I’ve never had a problem with my 4300, but looking at different machines just because.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I prefer the Dinamica Plus over the 5500 for espresso and milk, also the build quality feels better to me.

[@pdek32]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks for the reply Tom

[@gigimacarimbang2452]

Do u like better this one or magnifica evo?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

This is better. Both for espresso and milk. Also, this one's made in Italy.

[@markking4256]

I am getting ready to start a food truck with coffee and donuts in the morning. I thought bean to cup would be the way to go. Will this machine do 16 ounce cups? Can I attach a water pump system on this machine to draw water? Is this the best machine under 1500 for my needs or what do you recommend? I intend on doing the espresso and doubles, with Americano, Cappuccino, and late. Maybe also some iced drinks. Thanks in advance!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Oh boy....that't hard to say. This, and all the machines I use are domestic machines, not really designed for gastronomy. The drinks on this will take too long, with people waiting in line, would be my guess. But it also depends on your throughput.

[@LorenBetts]

Love the videos. Thank you. Slightly off topic question. I have the OXO grinder which is ok. Thinking about using a hand grinder. Do you have a recommendation?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

For sure. I like the Kingrinder K4 the best.
