Review: GREAT GRINDER! - My boyfriend has been using the well-reviewed Capresso burr grinder for a number of years for making French press coffee and espresso drinks at home. He is a “gourmet” and has a “palate.” (I like to tease him, but I enjoy his cooking!) However, at nearly a decade old, his Capresso has gotten temperamental in behavior at some grind settings. He would voice mild complaints, but wasn’t planning to buy a replacement. Here was a great opportunity for a Christmas gift! After doing product research on desertcart and reading user reviews, I chose the DeLonghi Dedica conical burr grinder. He liked it right away. With French press, he noted smoother flavor. Those who think that Starbucks over-roasts their coffee still may not like Starbucks beans(!), but should nevertheless find that this grinder removes harshness while still yielding full-bodied flavor. There is also less grounds sludge in the cup. Even the most coarse setting on the Capresso produced plenty of sludge. The sludge is an objection that many have against French press. This grinder could change their minds. The grinder has 18 grind settings, 6 each for Fine (1-6), Medium (7-12), and Coarse (13-18). It also has three “Strength” settings, which determines how heavy a grind goes into each cup. Thus a Light strength will produce fewer grams of coffee grounds, while the Medium and Full settings will grind more grams per cup. This allows fine-tuning for individual tastes, and is particularly important for proper timing of espresso shots. My boyfriend found he found he could go down to level 14 (a finer coarse setting) for French press, but that 13 produced too much sludge. My boyfriend has a lower-end semi-automatic DeLonghi espresso machine (EC 155). The Dedica has an attachment that accommodates the portafilters from DeLonghi espresso machines so that you can grind directly into the portafilter. This is a nice feature. However, the grinder automatically adjusts to grind only one cup of grounds with the attachment in place. Thus, if you are making a double shot, you will have to grind one cup, wait a second or two, and press the grind button a second time to fill the portafilter. However, the Strength setting still works with the portafilter attachment in place, so you can fine-tune how many grams of grounds per shot. Although the EC 155 claims to have a 15-bar pump, it nevertheless seems to be a weak pump. With too fine a grind, or too much pressure tamping the grounds, the machine takes too long to pull a shot. The Dedica grinder allows the fine-tuning necessary to pull a properly-timed shot, while extracting more flavor from the grounds. Although the DeLonghi EC 155 still won’t make as rich and full-bodied a coffee as something like a Gaggia or a professional-level machine, it is a notable improvement. As with the French press, there is also less sludge from the grounds when making espresso. A concern with a fancy machine like this, that has digital settings for most of its functions, is how robust the circuitry and buttons will prove over the long haul. My boyfriend had an initial reservation that the cost of a grinder like the Dedica was for all the bells and whistles, rather than for a better grinder. Indeed, being only a few weeks old, he hopes for the best in terms of the circuitry longevity. My boyfriend will be getting a hand-me-down Baby Gaggia from a good friend who has upgraded to a fairly high-end espresso machine. He suspects the Gaggia portafilter will be too large to work with the Dedica attachment. In the meantime, he has been making more espresso than before, and enjoying the DeLonghi EC 155 more than ever. Most people think about upgrading coffee machines while relegating a good grinder to a lower tier. For those wondering whether the Dedica grinder delivers a better cup of coffee at a semi-premium price, the answer is yes. Upgrading the grinder will have the benefit of appearing to upgrade one’s espresso machine at the same time. The better burr grinders heat the grounds less when grinding, and yield more even grounds size with less sludge. The Dedica delivers on both counts. My boyfriend doesn’t have enough experience with his friend’s even pricier Rancilio grinder to offer direct comparison, but he does note the Dedica is a well worthwhile upgrade over the crowded $80-$100 segment of burr grinders, and certainly worth the price premium. Perhaps I can post a follow-up in a year to see how the machine holds up. I am thinking of buying a Dedica myself because I enjoy playing with the settings and the ease of use with all those digital bells and whistles! After all, my boyfriend has been telling me those blade grinders, while better than nothing, leave much to be desired. I would merely be taking his advice...
Review: I'm a believer! - I really struggled buying this grinder, thanks to all the reviews I decided to give it a try. I normally don't write long reviews but I will on this item for anyone else struggling. I don't like coffee, but I love a great cup of mocha, soI am very picky about the espresso. Stars bucks was good ... when it was good. However, it varies so much from store to store and time of day plus it's not cheap. My goal was to produce a high quality cup of mocha at home on a consistent basis. I had a Hamilton blade grinder and a stainless steel tamp. The flavor improvement grinding whole beans over store bought grounded on the blade grinder was huge. I had a $30.00 Mr Coffee espresso machine. The end result was consistent and "ok", actually better than star bucks on an off day. I then tried several very expensive espresso machines but was underwhelmed, I would return them and go back to the $30.00 Mr. Coffee espresso maker. I then tried a Delonghi EC680M DEDICA 15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine, it was great! A small footprint, easy to use and less expensive than some of the others I tried and didn't like. My morning cup of mocha was much better but still not coffee shop quality. Plus there seemed to be a lot of daily waste and clean up since I am the only one who drinks espresso /coffee. I started researching a conical burr grinder, again I was really torn!! My question was does it really make that much of a difference ... my answer is now yes, yes and yes!! My expresso's are smooth that harsh bitterness is gone and there is a average amount of cream. Before this grinder I watched YouTube videos on making espresso and would comment on tasting the raspberry note. I tasted a shot using the blade grinder (and DeLonghi espresso coffee maker) and thought all I taste is strong (ie bitter) coffee. I tasted a shot of expresso after using the DeLonghi burr grinder and was shocked, oh my gosh I tasted raspberry notes and it tasted crisp and clean if that makes sense. My mochas are amazing, each and every time. What I especially like about this machine is the espresso porta filter attachment. I grind the coffee straight into the filter ..one step! I have a stainless steel vacuum sealing coffee canister that came with a stainless steal spoon. I use 1.5 spoon of whole beans for my espresso every morning, so it's as fresh as possible. You could store much more but it is exposed to some air. It's very quit and has an automatic shut off. I personally set it to grind level 3 and use Starbucks espresso whole beans. This setting seems to work best for me. I can't speak to longevity nor how it compares to other conical grinders. My recommendation, if you are torn and unsure, make sure you buy it somewhere where it's a free easy return and just try it ... I'm very glad I did!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My bean hopper keeps loosen when i grind.  then i have to hold the hopper down to grind again.  does anyone else have this problem?**
A: After you have seated the bean hopper on the machine, give the hopper a clockwise twist and you should feel and hear it snap into place.  That will hold the hopper in place when you grind your beans.  An extra hint--Don't remove the hopper with coffee beans in it or you'll be sweeping up the little critters from your countertop and floor.

**Q: Is the grind storage container glass or plastic?**
A: This is a big problem that would have been easily solved by the manufacturer by using anti-static plastic.  My solution: after grinding, I stir the grounds through the top hole in the receiving container with a metal tablespoon.  This dissipates the static charge and prevents the grounds from repelling one another other and flying everywhere.  The cap can then be removed and the grounds poured from the plastic cup as one chooses.

**Q: Is this actually 18" tall as listed in the description?**
A: Fully assembled it is 15 inches tall

**Q: How i know the perfect grinder setting for de longui ec680 espresso machine? i like strong coffe flavor. thanks.**
A: Technically, you adjust by what grind achieves the desired brew time. I believe DeLonghi uses pressurized porta filter, which are more forgiving, but may work differently. A 25-35 seconds extraction time is typical for a non-pressurized machine - I don’t know how that one works. I’d start at finest grind and taste. If good, leave it. If it’s choking the machine, i.e., full shot is not coming out in your normal brew time, then make grind more coarse.

For my prosumer, non-pressurized machine the finest setting was still too coarse. I can only use it for drip/Chemex now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, with some limitations
*by L***G on December 9, 2025*

The GOOD: The machine works well, easy to use and understand, color is gorgeous, great for a small space, delicious hot or cold drinks, great value for the price (got it on sale for $249.99). The BAD: The steaming function is so ridiculously loud and shrill that I’m actually concerned about damage to my hearing. I’ve started to wear foam ear plugs while steaming milk (I’m REALLY not exaggerating here, I promise). — You can’t steam milk while pulling espresso shots. You can only do one function at a time. — Majority of my mugs/cups do not fit under the espresso drip without removing the bottom drain piece, and the machine does not come with the espresso demitasse shot glasses — I sometimes have trouble getting the steaming function to work. I have to turn the machine off and back on to get it going. Overall, I’d say this is a great product. I’m happy with the way my drinks come out and I do not regret buying it at all. I am, however, looking forward to buying a bigger machine with more capabilities in the future.
