Perhaps this aesthetic issue with the DeLonghi Dinamica is part of a greater problem I see in DeLonghi automatic espresso machines: they have a tendency to use too much plastic. Incidentally, before I go any further I should clarify which machine I’m talking about. After all, DeLonghi loves to issue seemingly endless iterations on a theme, each with a slightly different model number. Anyway, in today’s DeLonghi Dinamica review I’ll be looking at the ECAM35075SI, which is the one with an automatic milk frother. Listen, I love a touchscreen display as much as anyone. I still look at my phone and marvel at the insane technology we’re all carrying around. The universal milk system cleaner "For Better Coffee". Made of natural ingredients of the highest quality, this cleaner ensures ideal hygiene inside the milk system: it gets rid of any accumulated bacteria, milk fats and milk residue.

Yet, most of the time, they are far from ready to brew a successful espresso, cappuccino or latte macchiato from the start.

De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM 350.50.B reviews

You probably don’t need me to tell you that the brew group is any automatic coffee maker’s most important component. This is where all the magic happens, and it’s what makes these machines so convenient. With all that said, you will have to jump through a few hoops before making coffee. You’ll need to install the water filter, input your water hardness and perform a rinsing function. Don’t worry, though; the Dinamica will guide you through the process and everything you need is included. Interestingly, there’s also an Over Ice function, wherein the machine brews at a lower temperature. While not as sophisticated as the low pressure cold brew function on the Jura Z10, it’s still worth playing around with. Give some time or the mixture to do its magic –leave it on for at least 5 minutes. Later repeat the procedure at least 3 times.

Before using the machine, make two cups of coffee. Choose the preparation method from pre-ground beans, but don’t use the actual pre-ground coffee. Take off coffee filter holder and with the mixture carefully wash the holder and its spouts as well as coffee filters.But when I stop to think about it, I kinda get why DeLonghi chooses to use plastic on its mid-range models. I mean, it definitely keeps its costs down. That said, does a coffee maker with a pretty touchscreen interface automatically guarantee better cup results? Absolutely not. In fact, there are machines in my super automatic espresso machine guide 2023 that would be better off with a simpler user interface. Yet, for some reason, this crucial point often gets overlooked. The resulting system errors then tend to aggravate users — especially when it delays them getting their coffee!
