after-market bottomless basket filter
the lights on the machine often flash yellow and
new baskets are constantly getting blocked
becomes clogged and doesn t push water or coffee through
inconvenient and would rather have the machine replaced or discount on new machine
just sits on top of the grinds and produces only drips of coffee
There s no separate brew button available in this coffee maker
It s a fairly expensive machine
No Built-in Grinder The coffee machine lacks a grinder
there is no need to use the filter
it is not programmable
stylish shell hides 15 bars of pressure
space for a large ground-coffee machine
no eco credentials to boast of in terms of packaging

not just someone who simply enjoys the taste of coffee
too much or too finely ground coffee
the poor little Dedica fails to push any water through
the lights will start to flash

No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
kind of hard to peg the value of this machine
tends not to build up too much coffee gunk
falls a bit short of great
lights stop furiously flashing
there s a measuring scoop stuck to its rear end
only for coffee
squirt of residual water will come out before the steam
the grinding and tamping will throw out the shot volume
sound level only lasts for a short period of time
too small to fit an espresso machine
descaling process was fiddly or time consuming
it's too easy to push a button inadvertently
have a tendency to drip a little afterwards
depth and a full-bodied profile
it gets a huge thumbs up
a non-pressurized filter is not available with this product
the coffee capacity of the machine is restricted
