Fantastic
Great machine. Love the temp sensing probe for milk. Love that it is so easy to make great coffee without having to do a barista course.

Great easy to use machine
This is a great little machine to take in your van if you are a coffee snob. As we have a larger coffee machine at home we wanted something smaller to take on our van travels that wasn’t a pod machine. The coffee it makes is great if you follow the instructions and allow for the first few coffees to be rather average, then it seems to pick up a gear and brew up a great coffee. We bought a seperate grinder to do our own rather than buy pre ground coffee. Overall very satisfied.

Love the auto frother
I chose this one because of the auto frother. Works a treat. Pulls a good shot and takes up hardly any room. Easy to clean all the bits and bobs too

Not too big. Auto steam wand.
I chose this machine for its auto shut off on the steam wand and its small size, ideal for a small kitchen. Its a bit noisier than I would like and does not have a 'hot water only' function from the steam wand, but is the best machine I could find in price range.

Great coffee machine overall
A good coffee machine with all required tools to make yourself an amazing coffee. The auto steam is great, however I don’t like the purge option as it sometimes dilutes the milk. Use manual option Like all other machines , there is plastic in the porta filters even though the outer is solid metal. All metal would have been great

At a glance
The DeLonghi Dedica Maestro Plus is a compact manual coffee machine for home users who want hands-on espresso making with easier milk texturing. It suits beginners and developing home baristas thanks to assisted steam settings, temperature options and included accessories. Its small footprint is a major strength for tighter kitchens. The trade-off is that it offers less manual steam control than more specialist prosumer machines.

Things to consider
While it gives more guidance than many manual machines, it is still a hands-on espresso machine and offers less steam customisation than premium specialist machines aimed at advanced baristas.
Barista experience suitability
Best for beginners to intermediate home users who want manual espresso making with guided milk frothing.
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - compact design and assisted milk system help, but manual coffee making still involves regular basket, wand and jug cleaning.
Beginner friendliness
8/10 - assisted steam profiles and included accessories make it approachable for newer espresso users.
Counter space suitability
9/10 - a strong fit for small benches, apartments and caravans thanks to its compact footprint.
Noise level vs category average
About average for a manual pump espresso machine.
Key benefits
- 15 Bar Pump: Supports the pressure needed for espresso-style extraction at home.
- Thermoblock Heating System: Heats water quickly and helps maintain stable brewing temperature between drinks.
- Three Infusion Temperature Profiles: Lets you adjust brewing temperature to better suit different beans and taste preferences.
- Automatic Steam Wand: Simplifies milk texturing for cappuccinos and flat whites with less trial and error.
- Three Milk Temperature and Texture Profiles: Makes it easier to tailor milk foam to different drink styles.
- Single-Wall Filter Baskets up to 20 g: Gives more room to experiment with dose size and espresso strength.
- Compact Stainless Steel Build: Fits more easily on kitchen benches and in smaller spaces without looking bulky.
- Included Tamper and Milk Jug: Helps new users get started with fewer extra accessories to buy.
Q: Do I need a separate grinder to get the best from it?
A: Yes, if coffee quality matters. The single-wall filter baskets are best matched with freshly ground beans, so a separate grinder gives better control over dose and extraction. Pre-ground coffee is usable, but it leaves less room to fine-tune the shot.
Q: Can this machine make hot water only for long blacks?
A: No. EC950M is built around espresso extraction and milk texturing, and it is not listed with a dedicated hot-water function. For long blacks, add kettle-heated water separately rather than drawing plain hot water from the steam wand.
Q: How hands-on is the Dedica Maestro Plus for milk drinks?
A: It is semi-guided rather than fully automatic. The automatic steam wand offers 3 milk temperature and texture profiles, but you still prepare the espresso, position the jug and manage the workflow, so it still feels like a manual machine.
Q: Is the EC950M suitable for caravans or smaller kitchen benches?
A: Yes, it is a strong fit for tight spaces. The compact stainless steel body suits smaller benches and caravan setups, but it is still a manual coffee machine, so leave room beside it for the milk jug, tamper and day-to-day prep.
Q: What does the 20g single-wall basket support in practice?
A: The larger basket lets you work with doses up to 20g, which suits stronger espresso or milk drinks that need a fuller coffee base. Because it is a single-wall basket, grind quality and tamping matter more than on easier dual-wall styles.
Q: Can it handle back-to-back coffees without long waiting times?
A: Yes, it is built for regular home use rather than long reheating gaps. The thermoblock heating system helps it come up to brewing temperature quickly and stay more consistent between cups, but manual prep still limits how fast multiple drinks can be made.
