Delonghi Dinamica Plus Superautomatic Coffee Machine Review

ECAM370.95 geni.us/DinamicaPlus (Amazon affiliate link) #DinamicaPlus
In this video, I show you the Delonghi Dinamica Plus - so far the best superautomatic coffee and espresso machine that I have used. With this machine, you can grind fine enough, and dose high enough, to get what I would classify as an actual espresso. It is quite impressive. On top of that, the milk frothing texture, true to Delonghi's form, is quite awesome, and delivers a super creamy, sweet texture for milk based drinks. I go through some of my favorite coffee drinks, then show the user interface, and in the second part of the video, I show some popular milk drinks. And yes, to answer the question, this does make hot frothed milk on its own. It can even make a carafe of coffee! Finally, it includes user profiles and drink customization, to round out a sweet machine. Oh yeah, it also includes stainless steel burrs, and can be dialed in quite fine - finer than other superautomatics I've used.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Hi Tom, your recommendations has been a game changer with the accessories upgrades. I love my dark roast coffee beans and now im trying to learn how to make a perfect Americano. What do you recommend for the IMS double basket? 14, 16 or 18grams over 8oz of water? Would the espresso pull still be the same 1:2 ratio? I like it strong with a dark chocolate taste with a vibrant coffee smell. TIA! BTW the IMS shower screen and IMS basket is such a great compliment.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I’d suggest then an IMS H26. 150 ml water and a nice double shot on top. You can do a 1:2 or 1:3. Whichever you like best. Cheers!

DeLonghi makes really good home espresso machines and your review was so detailed. But still, I want to feel as a barista when making my own coffee, therefore I prefer portafilter machines because they make me enjoy the whole process !

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.

Hi. I own this machine so far very happy, the only can’t figure out how to make cold coffee.

[@kirananwar4713]

Hi Tom, really appreciate your in depth reviews. Can you recommend a super automatic within the $1000 price range. From watching your reviews we are leaning towards a De’Longhi over a Phillips. Which model would you recommend?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Under $1k I would go for the Magnifica Evo. I did a review on that one too. Philips cannot compete, imho.

[@silverteak]

Thanks for your review! Very interesting to see what inside this machine and how it difference from previous models, why exactly it can do better espresso, and work with bigger doses. I also tuned my old Magnifica S to make it grind finer, and tried different doses using pre-ground option. But it still a bit weak and watery. Seems like their machines are using very similar parts inside, like brewing chamber, same pump, similar (if not the same) grinder. So what exactly making this machine better in coffee making?.. Of course I'm not talking about the display, wi-fi, bluetooth and other things, this is obvious :) Hope you'll make a video about internal parts of the Dinamica Plus someday :)

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Well, I've tested ECAM models at work, and the Magnifica Evo from Delonghi. None of those can make doses as large as this one, which can do a 15 gram dose. Also, I have choked this Dinamica multiple times, by dialing too fine. So I think the grinder is also tuned better, to get a finer grind. I could never come close to choking any other SA that I've used! Cheers!

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?

Hi Tom, LOVE your channel, very interesting, and honest. We are looking for a new machine right now - mainly drinking cappuccino/latte, espresso - we have a little issue. We think this machine looks amazing (for this pricerange - tbh it seems like the only really nice machine in this price range. BUT, we also like the Gaggia Brera - which is not making the drinks automatic, but with the steamer, it seems like its possible to get a similar foam, and a (maybe) better espresso shot? I know its maybe hard to compare them. But what is your opinion? :-) Is the Brera making a similar espresso/cappuccino ? Best, Mikkel

Hi there! Well you can program the drinks how you want. It can even make a coffee pot, for example. I normally do 250ml long blacks for example. Or were you thinking of like travel mug sizes?

[@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.

[@steve888l]

Hi, great video, I’m looking to replace my Nespresso and been going back and forth between a SA and something by Sage, seems you might have tipped the balance back towards the Delonghi :) one quick question, it appears there a couple of different versions of the Dinamica plus, is this the ECAM370.95 ?

[@graskaas]

Hi tom excellent video again, also the comparison against sage. Couple of questions: -which model number did you review? So confused with all the variations. - how does this newer model compare to the old dinamica ecam350.55 extraction and shot quality wise do you think? Reason to upgrade? Thanks for the great content!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

This is the ECAM370.95. I think the ECAM350 models had no wireless app connection. The screen was also less fancy. I don't know if they could do the Doppio+ function though.

[@graskaas]

The old dinamica 350.55 can also do the Doppio+ so i would guess flavor wise it is still the same then. Only fancier screen and tech. Thanks for the reply!

[@FrankieSimon]

Thank you, that was extremely helpful and detailed. I am 99 percent on board with getting this one, with hope for prices to drop. I feel like it will be overkill for me but i still want it :) Are there ways to adjust the milk drinks for smaller glasses while maintaining the ratios? Also, how easy is it to clean? Thank you, i appreciate the effort and care you put into these videos!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sure, you can adjust the amounts of espresso and milk in your drinks. Espresso is parameterized in ml, while milk is in seconds of frothing.

Hi Tom! Thank you for the vid! Really helped me to pick a new machine :) Question, because you tried it out before: what are the best settings? When it comes to ml water, how much milk, and grind? For espresso, coffee and cappuccino.. Is that something you can share as well? :) Thanks again!

[@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!

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.

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!

I had a DeLonghi super automatic with that engine in it and this is an excellent review of this type of machine. I prefer the easy cleanup of my lever, but cleanup and descaling is an issue for me with this type of machine.

[@utkua]

I am using delonghi superautomatics since 2009, cleaning never been an issue, they are really accessible unlike say, Juras. They are quite user serviceable, you can pop open and remove brewing unit and clean it. Descaling depends on your water, I am using filtered water and almost and neglected descaling a year, and my coffee was still hot and nothing came out when I finally descaled.

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

By an issue, I mean a messy chore that takes too long for my tastes, and when I descale I flush a lot to feel confident that there is no descaling chemical contamination left in the machine. I can see that others, like you, may not be bothered by this, but it would be nice to show these procedures in the reviews of machines so that buyers can decide for themselves.@@utkua

[@JoeyBeeFit]

Hey bro, would you be able to tell me whether or not you think this one is better or worse than the Evo? Thanks! Great video as usual.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Yes, this is a fair amount better than the Evo, mainly for the larger pucks and finer grinds possible. Cheers!

[@JoeyBeeFit]

Thank you! ​@@TomsCoffeeCorner

[@SamPattonMusic]

I’m trying to decide between this and the Breville Barista Touch Impress. I know they fall in different categories but these are what I'm looking at. I'm mainly a milk drink person and I think the Breville milk system would be easier to clean.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I'd go for the BTI. It's way easier to just wipe off the milk wand, and shoot some steam afterwards, than to have a milk carafe to clean out. Also, although this Dinamican does a damn good job at milk texture for a SA, it still cannot exactly compare to manual milk frothing when done right (although I don't think that is a fair comparison anyway).

[@roberttrujillo2008]

hello sir and congratulations for your channel ! i want to buy a manual coffee grinder,the ZEROHERO 3 PRO.have you ever checked it ? how it performs? i am interested to grind for espresso for non pressurised basket.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sorry, haven't heard of that one yet. Hand grinder?

[@stevefulgione4231]

Nice review Tom! That little guy is really sweet.

[@j-w-67]

before i buy this one i just seen delonghi rivelia? their latest shot in the line....a comming test please?🤔

[@czvitkoamte36]

Thanks for the review! I was considering this machine for a long time but now here the the Sage Barista Touch Impress is on sale so there is 250 euro deifference. Is the quality of the espresso comparable?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

This machine comes closer than any other SA that I have tried to making an actual espresso. It grinds so fine you can choke it (i did it several times), and with the "Doppio" it'll make 14-15 gram pucks. The result with fresh beans is actually a nice espresso. But of course you are limited in temperature, you cannot do any puck prep, and I feel like the machine might struggle over time to bring the pressure needed. With that being said, I still feel the BTI is better of course, but this is by a wide margin the best I've tried that makes drinks with a press of a button.

[@czvitkoamte36]

Thank you so much! This is the best coffee related channel! @@TomsCoffeeCorner

[@hikeeatrepeat3844]

​@@TomsCoffeeCorner Hi, Tom! What grind setting do you use with this machine?

[@vanquish206]

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.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

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!

[@MilosSesevic]

Since you’ve said this is better than the Dinamica Evo, and I just watched your video comparing it with Sage Barista Touch Impress - how would you rate Dinamicas’ espresso compared to the Sage? I usually more drink more double espresso, for reference. Thanks a lot for these videos, really helping us with the buying process.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I compared the Dinamica to the BDB here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX2WlYN-Z62li9k

[@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!

[@jprusso224]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thank you for your reply!

[@maxcavalera2845]

Hello Tom from Greece! Is there a comparison of taste and quality of this machine (or any superauto) with barista touch (impress) ?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I made a quick and dirty video today, comparing the Dinamica Plus to a Sage Dual Boiler: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX2WlYN-Z62li9k Let me know what you think.

[@Rjrolyn]

Throughout the video did you have the Grinding setting 4 from all the drinks you made. Thanks

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Yes, I kept the grind setting the whole time. Cheers!

[@Albertojedi]

Hello Tom. I'm wondering how this machine achives the larger crema on the coffee crema option versus the long coffee since both had the same amount of water and strength. May it be due to a higer pressure during extraction?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Well, the extraction just keeps going on the Coffee Crema. On the Long, it pulses 6-7 times, which may break up the crema...

[@Albertojedi]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Sounds logical. Thanks.

[@tmorales1226]

My wife just bought me this and I was initially disappointed because my espresso was coming out watery. If I want the crema like yours then I would need to bring the ml down to 20 and the intensity all the way up? Thanks for your help!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Turn up the intensity, yes. But please also use freshly roasted beans if you can. That makes a huge difference! And also grind nice and fine. I am at a setting of 3-4 with freshly roasted beans, and I get a very good result.

[@georgelacey6381]

Do you think the bluetooth app is only BT for safety? Seems like a cup waiting would be a great selling point for a superauto. Have you ever reviewed Profitec Go? I'd be interested to see how their PID works.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I’m not sure why they didn’t include a Wi-Fi card, as they are cheap. It sure would be nice to have a remote connection to the machine, and be able to start a coffee on your way home for example. I haven’t tried the Go yet. Hard to find a deal on one…hopefully soon.

[@georgelacey6381]

WLL has a deal, $1 off. /not jokin. Looks like an interesting machine at 1000 dollar price point. @@TomsCoffeeCorner

[@gregbrown3707]

App appeals to me as it appears I can start another drink from my couch. However, in your video the first couple of milk drinks you made, you adjusted cup or frother at machine, which for me defeats appeal of using app from away from machine. Can a 2nd milk drink be started and completed from away from the machine using app (assuming 2nd cup put in place beforehand), or is some manual intervention needed?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sure you can do that. You should know however, that you're supposed to switch the milk carafe to "clean" after milk steaming. Cheers!

[@Kabeljauwsje]

Can you do all of the adjustments on the machine or do you need the app for some? Considering buying. In doubt... model 370.70 (no connect) and 370.95 (with connect).

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

You can make the adjustments in the machine, too. But I find it’s a bit more intuitive in the app.

[@ABCDEF-no1cv]

How did you get the machine to extract the coffee with good crema? What settings? I went to store and it wasn’t as hot or had the crema as Jura s8

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Freshly roasted beans and a grinder setting of 3-4. Doppio+ is the best option. Cheers!

[@sharkhealgaming9557]

Between the DeLonghi dinamica plus and the philips 5400, which do you think would be a better choice? In my region both are at the same price and i'm trying to choose between them. What i'm mostly looking for it's the best performance.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Dinamica Plus is better. Better coffee due to larger pucks, stainless grinder instead of ceramic, and milk texture just a little better.

[@Eyemahere]

I just got this machine. Any suggestions on how to make the best regular cup of coffee with it? Thanks.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Freshly roasted beans, soft water, and hot temperature in the settings. Cheers!

[@AlexanderWerginz]

I wonder if the De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM380.95.TB - Modell 2023 is as good as the model you've tested. what's your opinion ?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

There are only very slight variances between the models. For example, I am not sure the De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM380.95.TB has the app feature. But the app is frustrating to use anyway.

[@les5309]

Does this machine make espresso and cappuccinos as good as the Breville Touch Impress Barista? Thanks

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 😊

[@deccatraveler]

Does app bring a huge change? I'm kinda confused whether to go for app enabled Delonghi Dinamica Plus or go for Delonghi Dinamica Plus without app enabled.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

No, I don't think so. The app is super laggy anyway.

[@Feher279]

Hi, Could you advise about what worth to buy or what would you recommend to me. As I was watching some of the older videos too. I really liked the De'Longhi ECP 3420 or worth to spend a little but more for a dedica?

Can you also use the milk nozzle without the milk canister? If you have a guest that wants a milk alternative but your canister is full of regular milk, can you just use the nozzle to steam their oat/almond milk or do you need a second canister for these occasions?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Nope, you cannot. It's just a fitting that the carafe sticks into, not a protruding nozzle. Cheers!

Any downsides to using this in an office setting with the interface? Can less savvy people still easily come and hit a couple buttons and get the coffee they want without too much thinking?

Yes, I'd say that's the ideal setting. We've been using Delonghi superautomatics at work for years. Cheers!

[@VideoCraftMedia]

Dear Tom, I greatly appreciate your videos and would appreciate your opinion on the matter of whether to purchase a DeLonghi Magnifica automated machine or invest in a another manual coffee maker. I currently possess DL Stilosa, a bottomless portafilter, and a Kingrinder K4. However, in recent weeks, Stilosa has been releasing water in an uncontrolled manner. Furthermore, I derive pleasure from preparing espresso and coffee with my hands, however, if the automated machine is capable of producing a superior product, then the answer lies in the automated machine. obvious.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Well, I’d still give the edge to the manual espresso making, but this comes quite close, and is easier. The advantage of manual espresso is still better flexibility in dosing, grind adjustment, and trying out other grinders for example. But the Dinamica is very good in its own right. Cheers!
