I was tired of coffee, dont know how, as I love coffee, but I was tired of it. However, I cant seem to live without the caffeine, so I figured espresso would be a nice alternative. Indeed it has been! I have been using this espresso machine for about 3 weeks now, and this dedica arte from delonghi has been my daily super hero the last couple weeks. I could not be happier or more impressed, while I am newer to the art of making a good espresso or latte, this machine is small, sleek, easy to use and full of features. The frother is fantastic, the pressure adjustability is a great addition, and the included tamper is nice. I could write a novel here, but in the end...zero complaints, lots of positive. Want to be the super hero in your daioy grind? Get yourself the dedica arte!
