The models in detail
This page is for shoppers who have settled on De'Longhi and want to know which of the six models sold on Amazon.com fits their kitchen and drinking habits. We built the comparison from the Amazon.com product listings, checked on October 10, 2026, and the customer ratings shown on them. We did not use these machines ourselves, so every figure below is what the listing claims, and missing details are called out.
1 · Our pick
De'Longhi Stilosa
Espresso machine4,2/5 from 13858 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The Stilosa is the plainest De'Longhi on this page, and that is why it comes first for a first espresso machine. The listing gives a 15 bar pump, a stainless steel boiler and a manual steam wand for lattes and cappuccinos, plus a two-level cup holder so taller cups fit. In the box you get the portafilter, single and double filters, and a combined measuring scoop and tamper that the listing itself describes as basic. Its 4.2 rating from 13,858 reviews is the highest score and the biggest review count among the four manual pump machines here. The listing is thin, though: no portafilter size, no water tank capacity, no wattage and no dimensions. There is also no temperature control and no grinder. If you want more milk control, the Classic Signature adds a two-setting steam wand; if you want less counter width, the Dedica is narrower.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- 15 bar pump for single or double espresso.
- Stainless steel boiler built for durability, according to the listing.
- Manual steam wand for lattes and cappuccinos.
- Compact design with a two-level cup holder for taller cups.

- No built-in grinder or temperature control.
Best for: Beginners who want an entry-level espresso machine with a steam wand.
Skip it if you want precise temperature control or a built-in grinder.

2 · ESE pods and grounds
De'Longhi ECP3420
Espresso machine4,1/5 from 11089 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The ECP3420 is a compact pump machine much like the Stilosa, with two practical differences. Its 3-in-1 filter holder takes a single shot, a double shot or an easy-serve espresso (ESE) pod, which is handy on rushed mornings. And unlike the Stilosa listing, this one states the water tank: 37 oz, removable, with a visible level. It also lists a 15 bar pump, a stainless steel boiler and the Advanced Cappuccino System manual frother, which mixes steam and milk. The removable drip tray makes room for taller cups. Be careful with the title: it mentions temperature control, but the listing does not describe any temperature setting, so do not count on one. Portafilter diameter, wattage, dimensions and weight are missing, and De'Longhi's comparison table shows no programmable drinks. Rating: 4.1 from 11,089 reviews, just behind the Stilosa.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- 15-bar pump for single or double espresso, cappuccino and latte.
- Advanced Cappuccino System manual frother mixes steam and milk.
- 3-in-1 filter holder for one shot, two shots or an easy-serve espresso pod.
- Removable 37 oz water tank with visible level; removable drip tray for taller cups.
Cons
- The title mentions temperature control, but the listing does not explain any temperature setting.
- No portafilter diameter, wattage, dimensions or weight in the listing.
- No built-in grinder, and no programmable drinks according to De'Longhi's comparison table.
Best for: Beginners who want an affordable compact pump espresso machine with a steam wand.
Skip it if you need precise temperature control or a built-in grinder.

3 · Narrow counters
De'Longhi Dedica EC680M
Espresso machine4/5 from 4870 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The Dedica EC680M is the model to look at when counter width is the problem. The listing says it is only 6 inches wide, which De'Longhi calls its slimmest espresso machine, and its thermoblock heating reaches brewing temperature in 40 seconds, per the listing. Like the ECP3420, it has a 15 bar pump, a 3-in-1 filter holder for single shots, double shots or ESE pods, and an Advanced Cappuccino System manual frother. The water tank and drip tray are removable, and the parts are dishwasher safe. The trade-off is height: cup clearance is about 5 inches even with the adjustable drip tray, so tall travel mugs will not fit. The listing gives no portafilter diameter, wattage, weight or tank capacity. Its 4.0 rating from 4,870 reviews is a bit below the Stilosa and ECP3420.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- Only 6 inches wide, which De'Longhi calls its slimmest espresso machine.
- 15-bar pump with thermoblock heating that reaches brewing temperature in 40 seconds, per the listing.
- 3-in-1 filter holder for single shots, double shots or easy-serve espresso pods.
- Removable water tank and drip tray; the parts are dishwasher safe.
Cons
- The listing gives no portafilter diameter, wattage or weight.
- Cup clearance is limited to about 5 inches, even with the adjustable drip tray.
- Milk is frothed manually with the steam wand.
Best for: Beginners with little counter space who want real pump espresso and a steam wand.
Skip it if you want tall mugs under the spout or a built-in grinder.
Other specs
- Heating systemThermoblock, ready in 40 seconds
- Portafilter3-in-1 filter holder: single shot, double shot, ESE pods
- Dimensions6 in wide; fits cups up to 5 in tall
4 · Latte art in slim form
De'Longhi Dedica Arte EC885M
Espresso machine4/5 from 2156 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The Dedica Arte EC885M keeps the 6-inch-wide body of the Dedica EC680M but upgrades the parts that matter for milk drinks. The listing names a My LatteArt steam wand, still manual, for textured milk, and adds 3 temperature levels, which neither the Stilosa nor the ECP3420 offers. You also get a professional tamper and a large filter basket that holds up to 18 g of coffee, a better kit than the basic scoop-tamper of the Stilosa. The removable tank holds 35 oz, slightly less than the ECP3420's 37 oz, and the drip tray adjusts for taller cups. Heating is Thermoblock with a 15 bar pump. The listing does not give the portafilter diameter, and there is no grinder. The rating is 4.0 from 2,156 reviews, so feedback is thinner than on the older Dedica.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- Just 6 inches wide, with a stainless steel finish.
- 15 bar pump, Thermoblock heating and 3 temperature levels.
- My LatteArt steam wand for textured milk.
- Large basket holds up to 18 g of coffee; removable 35 oz water tank and adjustable drip tray for taller cups.
Cons
- The listing does not give the portafilter diameter.
- No built-in grinder.
- Average customer rating is 4.0 out of 5.
Best for: Small kitchens that need a slim espresso machine with a capable steam wand.
Skip it if you want a built-in grinder or a larger water tank.

5 · More milk control
De'Longhi Classic Signature EM450M
Espresso machine4,3/5 from 1070 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The Classic Signature EM450M is the step up for latte drinkers who want more than the Stilosa's basic wand. The listing describes a steam wand with two settings, one for steamed milk and one for thicker froth, plus customizable single and double espresso presets with auto-stop. It also gives a pressure detail the others skip: a 15-bar pump with a consistent 9-bar extraction. Thermoblock heating is listed for fast, stable temperature, and the removable water tank holds 57 oz, the largest stated capacity among the manual models here, mounted at the back. There is no grinder, so you need pre-ground coffee or a separate grinder, and the listing gives no portafilter size, power, dimensions or weight. Its rating is the best on this page, 4.3, but it comes from only 1,070 reviews, far fewer than the Stilosa.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- 15-bar Italian pump with a consistent 9-bar extraction and auto-stop.
- Thermoblock heating for fast, stable temperature.
- Steam wand with two settings: steamed milk or thicker froth.
- Customizable single and double espresso presets and a removable 57 oz tank at the back.
Cons
- Portafilter size, power, dimensions and weight are not listed.
- No grinder: you need pre-ground coffee or a separate grinder.
Best for: Latte drinkers who want a compact De'Longhi with more milk control than the Stilosa.

6 · One-touch milk drinks
De'Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM29084SB
Super-automatic espresso machine4/5 from 1040 Amazon customer ratings (as of October 10, 2026)
The Magnifica Evo ECAM29084SB is a different kind of machine from the other five: a bean-to-cup super-automatic. The listing gives a built-in conical burr grinder and brewing unit, 7 preset drinks from a color touch panel, and the LatteCrema System, which froths milk or milk alternatives automatically from a 7.4 fl oz milk tank. My Latte saves your own recipes, and there is an auto-clean function with dishwasher-safe parts. It is the only De'Longhi on this page where you neither grind, tamp nor steam by hand. The listing is the thinnest of the group, though: no pressure, no water tank size, no bean hopper capacity, no number of grind settings and no dimensions. User profiles are not confirmed either. Rating: 4.0 from 1,040 reviews. Choose it for convenience, not for manual espresso control.
Pros, cons and specs
Pros
- 7 preset drinks at the press of a button from a color touch panel.
- Built-in conical burr grinder and brewing unit.
- LatteCrema System froths milk or milk alternatives automatically, with a 7.4 fl oz milk tank.
- My Latte lets you save your own recipes; auto-clean and dishwasher-safe parts.
Cons
- The listing gives no pressure, water tank, bean hopper, grind settings or dimensions.
- Average customer rating is 4.0 out of 5.
Best for: Households that want one-touch milk drinks from a De'Longhi bean-to-cup machine.
Skip it if you want to steam milk yourself or need user profiles.

How to choose a De'Longhi espresso machine
Manual pump machine or super-automatic
Start by choosing between a manual pump machine and the bean-to-cup Magnifica Evo. Five of the six De'Longhi models here are manual: you add ground coffee to the portafilter, tamp it and steam milk yourself. The Magnifica Evo grinds the beans, brews and froths milk automatically, with 7 preset drinks on a color touch panel. Manual machines give you more say over each shot and take more practice. The super-automatic is the one to pick if several people in the house want a latte without learning anything, and you accept less control over the result.
Steam wand and milk system
Look at the steam wand next, because milk drinks are where these De'Longhi models differ most. The Stilosa has a manual frother. The ECP3420 and Dedica EC680M use the Advanced Cappuccino System manual frother, which mixes steam and milk. The Dedica Arte has the My LatteArt wand, also manual. The Classic Signature offers two settings, one for steamed milk and one for thicker froth. Only the Magnifica Evo froths automatically, with its LatteCrema System and a 7.4 fl oz milk tank. If you mostly drink espresso straight, any of the manual wands will do.
Width and cup clearance
Measure your counter and your favorite cup before choosing, because the slim models have a height limit. The Dedica EC680M and Dedica Arte are both listed at 6 inches wide, the narrowest options here. The EC680M fits cups up to about 5 inches tall, even with its adjustable drip tray. The Dedica Arte, ECP3420 and Stilosa all mention room for taller cups, through an adjustable or removable tray or a two-level cup holder. The other listings give no dimensions at all, so check the product page photos and measure the space under your cabinets.
Water tank capacity
If you make several drinks a day, the Classic Signature has the largest stated tank at 57 oz. The ECP3420 lists 37 oz and the Dedica Arte 35 oz, both removable. The Stilosa, Dedica EC680M and Magnifica Evo listings do not give a capacity, so you cannot compare them on this point. A bigger tank means fewer refills, which matters most for milk drinks and households where more than one person uses the machine. A rear-mounted tank, as on the Classic Signature, needs space behind the machine to slide out.
Temperature and brewing controls
The Dedica Arte is the only manual model here with stated temperature settings, 3 levels according to its listing. The ECP3420 title mentions temperature control, but the listing does not explain any setting, so treat that claim with caution. The Classic Signature adds customizable single and double presets with auto-stop and states a 9-bar extraction from its 15-bar pump. The Stilosa and Dedica EC680M list a 15 bar pump and nothing to adjust beyond your grind and dose. More controls help once you know what you like, but they are not essential for a first machine.
Filter holder and pod support
Choose the ECP3420 or Dedica EC680M if you want to use easy-serve espresso pods as well as ground coffee. Both list a 3-in-1 filter holder for single shots, double shots or ESE pods. The Dedica Arte's large basket takes up to 18 g of coffee and comes with a professional tamper, while the Stilosa ships with a basic measuring scoop and tamper. None of these listings gives a portafilter diameter, so check with the seller that any aftermarket basket or tamper is made for your exact De'Longhi model before you buy it.
Skip it if…
- you want a grinder built into a manual machine, since none of the five pump models here has one.
- you drink from tall travel mugs and are looking at the Dedica EC680M, which fits cups only up to about 5 inches.
- you want precise temperature settings on a budget model, as only the Dedica Arte lists them.
- you need full specs before buying, because several De'Longhi listings leave out wattage, dimensions and tank size.
FAQ
What is the best DeLonghi espresso machine for beginners?
The Stilosa is the best De'Longhi espresso machine for most beginners. It keeps things simple with a 15 bar pump, a stainless steel boiler and a manual steam wand, and it has a 4.2 rating from 13,858 reviews. If you also want ESE pod support and a stated 37 oz tank, look at the ECP3420. If you never want to steam milk yourself, the Magnifica Evo does it automatically.
Stilosa or Dedica: which De'Longhi should I buy?
Buy the Dedica if counter width is your main limit, and the Stilosa if you want the simpler, better-reviewed machine. The Dedica EC680M is 6 inches wide, heats in 40 seconds according to the listing and takes ESE pods, but cups must be under about 5 inches tall. The Stilosa lists a stainless steel boiler and a two-level cup holder for taller cups, and scores 4.2 against 4.0 for the Dedica.
Which De'Longhi espresso machine makes lattes automatically?
On this page, only the Magnifica Evo ECAM29084SB makes milk drinks automatically. Its LatteCrema System froths milk or milk alternatives from a 7.4 fl oz milk tank, and you choose from 7 preset drinks on a color touch panel. It also grinds beans with a built-in conical burr grinder. The other five De'Longhi models use a manual steam wand, so you texture the milk yourself.
Does the De'Longhi Dedica have temperature control?
The Dedica Arte EC885M does: its listing gives 3 temperature levels. The standard Dedica EC680M listing mentions thermoblock heating that reaches brewing temperature in 40 seconds, but no temperature setting. If adjusting temperature matters to you, the Dedica Arte is the only manual De'Longhi on this page with that feature stated. It also adds a professional tamper and a larger basket that holds up to 18 g of coffee.
What pressure do De'Longhi espresso machines use?
The manual De'Longhi models on this page all list a 15 bar pump: the Stilosa, ECP3420, Dedica EC680M, Dedica Arte and Classic Signature. The Classic Signature listing adds that its 15-bar pump delivers a consistent 9-bar extraction. The Magnifica Evo listing gives no pressure figure at all. That listing separates the pump rating from the extraction figure; the others give only the pump rating.
Do De'Longhi espresso machines have a built-in grinder?
Among the six models here, only the Magnifica Evo has a built-in grinder, a conical burr unit inside a bean-to-cup machine. The Stilosa, ECP3420, Dedica EC680M, Dedica Arte and Classic Signature all need pre-ground coffee or a separate grinder. The ECP3420 and Dedica EC680M also accept easy-serve espresso pods through their 3-in-1 filter holder, which is another way to skip grinding.
