OK, so I have taken apart the machine in the meantime, and had a look inside. There is, in fact a PID temperature probe on the exit of the thermoblock, just like on the Gaggia GED. So I do think that the extractions will be more accurate than before. That being said, with one initial measurement, it started at 92 to 93°C, dipped down to 88 in the middle of the extraction, and went back up to 93 at the end. There are also two three-way solenoid valves…however, not to relieve pressure off of the brew group, but rather to manage the steam wand. Let me know if you’d be interested in seeing a video of the insides. Thanks for watching!

I would be very interested to know if it has an overpressure valve that limits the pressure to 9bars. If not then it will do poorly with non pressurized baskets because the basket also has a 20% smaller area meaning even higher force (per area) and more channeling.

I 100% agree that at this price point, and at this point in the lineup, they should start to include a normal non-pressurized basket. Their argument would likely be that this is bordering on an entry level semi-automatic, and therefore it's more geared away from someone who would want a normal basket. I think they should make like a hobby spot in the Dedica lineup, where it has a spring loaded tamper included, fancy baskets, temp controller with a readout, etc

@maxmeier5322 ай бұрын
Two very different machines for different use cases. The gaggia classic has a boiler, afaik made from aluminum. Everyone has their opinion on this topic. If you drink several coffee drinks over the day, perhaps several people use the machine, and they dont need a quick one in the morning, you might prefer a boiler. That being said, probably not one made from aluminum. Drawback with boiler systems is the warm up time for the first drink in the morning and each drink, if you dont keep it running the whole day. Also a problem lies potentially in the warm up and cool down times, if you want to add steamed milk to it. It can be a pain in the butt to go back and forth, especially if you want to make 2 coffee drinks with milk. However if you want a quick coffee drink in the morning with or without steamed milk, same at any point during the day later, I think the thermoblocks have a clear advantage. They heat up comparetively quick and they tend to use much less electricity as they dont need to heat up a whole boiler of water only to then use a few milliliters for an espresso. Really, I dont think the gaggia classic is a reference machine to beat.

Купил таку машину недавно. До этого была Dedica EC680. Пока что только положительные эмоции. У новой ЕС950 меня впечатлила работа автоматического каппучинатора, не идеально, но вполне пригодно, особенно когда надо утром быстро сделать каппуччино с собой, просто ставишь питчер с молоком и занимаешься другими делами! Экспериментирую и учусь как пользоваться таким паровиком заново, так как у ЕС680 он был с улучшайзером, который вспенивал молоко не очень мелкой текстуры, зато независимо от навыков в этом деле) Хорошо что машина почти не поменялась в размерах, встала на место старой Dedica! Рожок стал тяжелее и солидней на вид. Автоматический сброс воды перед началом работы с паром, гениально, обожаю эту новую особенность, так же автоматическая очистка трубки паровика, при завершении работы с ним, вау, это реально круто! Есть у нее и минусы, есть такой просчет что если вы готовите эспрессо в маленькой чашке, то потом нужно каждый раз убирать и ставить назад подставку под маленькие чашки, так как паровик иначе упирается в эту подставку. Так же она немного шумнее, что касается пара, но на самом деле это не так заметно, только в прямом сравнении со старой EC680. Самое интересное это цена в России, где я её купил. 25000 рублей, что в пересчете это 235 Евро. Делонги похоже установило специальные цены для России.

The original Dedica was/is a great entry point into the home espresso-making world, where you get a good value for your money. However, I feel this new version of Dedica doesn't stand a chance in camprisson to Sage Bambino Plus, which I think was their main goal here. Bambino Plus has a way better built quality and a smoother workflow for pretty much the same amount of money. What are your thoughts on this one, guys? Tom, thank you for a great review! 🙌
@yojo_889 ай бұрын
it is just an oversized Dedica with stainless steel portafilter and auto steam (that takes also long to froth…). Maybe with better temp stability and faster to change tenp setting (maybe Tom will test the temp stability during extraction). Don‘t see any clear advantage for that money. Old Dedica seems very close to this and it is way cheaper. Instead of the auto steam - milk froather works as well (ok, the cleaning will take bit more).
@TomsCoffeeCorner9 ай бұрын
I agree that its functionality doesn't beat the BP. But I wouldn't agree that the build quality on the BP is better. Also, the BP is much harder to get inside. This one is just 3 screws on the top lid of the unit. What is nicer though on the BP is the solenoid to release pressure off the brew group.

Also, adding the jug or that tamper as most people would have these and newbies wouldn't care if they got the basic plastic tamper. Better to provide wooden handle and non pressurised basket instead.

Hi, Tom. I've recently bought Sage Bambino. When I saw this film on your channel I thought: God, I've could wait a little time - this new Dedica might be Sage killer. At first sight it looks like Bambino and Bambino Plus pair, but on the DeLonghi side. After I saw your material I know that my choice was ok. Looks like new DeLonghi has nothing more to offer than Bambino, sadly. If only they gave a manometer to it - people would think "ok, manometer, something more than the competition has, maybe it's worth buying". Looking at it I see no addition in funcionalities. If I were working in DeLonghi I'd definitely add something that would catch the buyer, e.g. a manometer xD Cheers!

I got so excited when I saw the notification on my phone, I had to watch it on big screen. I rushed back home. New Dedica looks lovely and i especially enjoy new temperature settings, I own EC885 and its a bit lackluster when it comes to brewing temperatures! What I wished they would upgrade is to have a matte drip tray, so it doesn't scratch like Arte does. First thing I did for my Arte machine was to cut out a thin rubber cover for the drip tray. Also I'm curious about the shower screen in this unit? is it same as Arte? Pre-infusion was different for sure. Drips during main pour looked more uniform too. Basic mode shots look great in EC950 that's a step up for sure. New steam wand looks great and is definitely interesting, although addition of the thermometer makes for a bulkier package and more stuff to wipe after steaming... i mean its cool, but it could be left manual in my opinion. Whats the steaming power compared to older models? Does brew group heat up or nah? Sorry for a lot of questions. Great video as always Tom!

Hi there! I think it's the same shower screen as before. Steaming power is better. For sure, this is the best steam wand I've used in the Dedica lineup, at least in manual mode.

The drip tray looks a lot better than on earlier Dedicas, I recently got a ec685 and the drip tray is really frustrating because larger scales won't fit on it (and thus won't work because the scale is not on its feet), and it has only two large holes (I assume for the stock spouted portafilter), which is again very annoying.

Could you please have a (detailed) comparison with Bambino Plus? I used to have both, but the temperature and milk frothing of Dedica Maestro Plus were not as good as the Bambino Plus so I returned the Dedica.
@TomsCoffeeCorner9 ай бұрын
What did you find better on the BP? Do you mean the autofrothing?
@quangbuule13329 ай бұрын
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I found that the output temperature of the BP is higher and more consistent, I used meat thermometer tough. And yeah, the auto-frothed milk from the Dedica Maestro Plus is not as pleasant as the BP, not sure how to say that, the bubbles are kinda bigger.

Hi Tom, Thanks for this - although I feel like paying 3 times compared to the original dedica... Well I do not see why it would be worth it. What's your take?
@TomsCoffeeCorner9 ай бұрын
I wouldn't say it's worth 3x the original. I'd probably only recommend it if you plan to use the autofrothing feature regularly. Chers!
@andreaskeil2048 ай бұрын
i like the looks and the better interface...but what counts is the coffee you can get out of it. And for almost three times the price in comparison to the old one (145-150,- on amazon in Germany) i don't see any reason to invest that much money just for the looks, since i'm getting a pretty decent Espresso out of my old dedica with the little modifications (open portafilter, etc.)

I have just watched your video on the Delonghi Dedica Arte EC885 Espresso Machine. Out of that machine and the machine you are now reviewing, which would you recommend? Watching from Australia. Can one purchase a non-pressurised basket seperately?

What does the "AUTO LatteArt" on the packaging stand for?

"My LatteArt" is what De'Longhi call their non-panarello steam wand. Auto LatteArt would be an automatic steam wand on Delonghi machines.

Does the Maestro model have a hot water feature? I am thinking of buying the Delonghi EC885 model, but the temperature setting in EC900 or EC950 model confused me, I like the coffee hotter. Does the EC900 or EC950 model have more hot water features than the EC885? I would be happy if you help
@TomsCoffeeCorner7 ай бұрын
I am guessing the EC900 will have a hot water output, while the EC950 doesn't. The temperature difference is I believe a more stable temp during the extraction. The EC885 already had low, med and high settings, but the newer EC900 has a thermoprobe on the thermoblock for a more accurate extraction. Cheers!
