DeLonghi Dedica Disambiguation: EC680, EC685, EC785, EC885

At last someone has discussed theses producst which all look similar from the outside

Hi Tom, it's possible to replace the steam wand from plastic to metal? I got a deal on the EC680 and I would like to install a steam wand like the EC885. Thank you.

These are the worst coffee machines in the market. You pay what you get. The frother is rather week and messy. Add couple of hundreds and get urself the breville express.

Hey Tom,
Can you please suggest capsules adapter? Thanks for your videos :)

I bought the EC 885 and used for the first time today. I bought direct from Delongi as they had a great deal on. I am very happy. Makes amazing coffee. Can make Latte’s and Cappuccino. I also grind my own beans.I highly recommend this machine, awesome.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi Tom! Now Delonghi have EC950M Dedica Maestro Plus. It can frothy milk automatic. Overall it is the same of EC885? Cheers from Australia!

احد يعرف فين يبيعو الاصدار الاخير ف السعوديه

Quite happy with an EC685 with wand upgrade costing just USD $14, plus upgrade to open basket. All thanks to finding this channel.

Hi, I can currently buy the 685 for around £155, as it's on sale. The 885 is around £80 more. Is it worth paying this much more for the newer model?

Is all the portafiller size same across all the model?

Thank you Tom, best review. I love my ec685, now ec885 is the best on market for semi professional home coffe machine, I like it. But, I want and will buy next 995 model with bar and temperature meters and 53mm portafilter. How this fantastic idea for delonghi? :)

Great video! Thank you

Helo! Can i use the EC685 portafilter for EC78? Is it compatible?

I still trying to get my new 685 panarello to play nice. It is the worst panarello I’ve ever used. Really need to get it converted.

hi Tom, you mention the EC885 has a large basket but didn't provide explanation, can you clarify please, is the diameter different to previous versions?

Thank you for the info!!
I was looking for this explanation everywhere, even int the brand website and nothing...

Hi Tom, which one would you recommend for a beginner like me? 685 or 785?

If I am a new buyer and am looking to buy either the 685 or the 885 model with the price difference between the two being $70 for me. Which one in your opinion would you recommend? is the upgrade from the 685 model to the 885 model worth the additional $70?

Great video, thank you for your assistance in advance.

Купил 685 , доволен, как слон!

Hi Tom
Vielen Dank für deinen Kanal!!
Weil ich mich nicht traue die Dampflanze zu wechseln, überlege ich mir die 885 (welche es auf Amazon gibt) zu kaufen.
Aber passen da auch der empfohlene Bodenlose Siebbehälter und die einwandwandigen Siebe rein?

I just noticed when trying ot buy a new one for me, (the old one got jumped on by the fuking inlaws..) there is ec685.M and ec685.W... what's that all about?

There seems to be one more with buttons on the very bottom, though, I haven't figured out the exact model number.

Is the steam wand really better on the 885 compare to the 685?
In Europe the 885 costs 100$ more so I'm wondering if it's worth it?

ممتاز 👍

EC 885 doesn’t include a milk pitcher in US

hello sir thanks a lot .
do all the models include 3 filters - for 1 cup , for double cup, for pds ?

what about the milk steam wand in ec 685 ? does it give good thicky milk enough ?
i ask because i don't want to spend more money for pithcher and dumper .

and also I want to say that today I have ecov 11 delonghi for the last 3 years and its good enough for espresso,
, but the milk steam doesn't work well , and I never succeed to get thicky foaming milk like I get from "aeroccino nespresso" or "lavazza milk easy amodo mio " for example .

Thank you Tom for solving the mysteries that I always wanted to know the differences of these models.
I had to let my baby CE865 go when I relocated overseas. By the way the machine was outstanding in good quality as a manufacturer refurbished, I sold almost the same value as I’d acquired. :)

God bless you Tom. Thanks for doing this comparison. I couldn't tell what all the differences were until I saw this. Many thanks!

I found the steaming wand to be pretty terrible on the 885 so I just bought another 685 model.

Hey Tom! Thanks a lot for the comparison video. As many only reviewed the 685, I was unsure how big the changes between newer generations are. As a beginner, that should definitely settle it for me.

Hey mate i just wanted to ask you a question. is ec685 comes with a pressurised basket or depressurised. Thanks.

Well the 885 with steam wand is not that necessary bc there thousands of rancilio silvia steam wand that you can put on dedica

A man after my own heart. I’ve owned my Dedica for about a year now and have just absolutely loved this machine. All I want to do is mod and upgrade it rather than buy any more “serious” machine (as they say on the forums).

Also a question, do you know if there’s any difference between the numbered models and their “M” versions? for example EC680 and EC680M?

Thank you and keep the videos coming!

السلام عليكم
شكرا جزيلا على شرحك المفصل حول أنواع الماكنات🤩

Dear mr. Tom, here is also a disambiguaty or shall I say major missing out in the review itself, I miss the verry important difference in 685 and 785. The 785 has 2 heatingsystems the 685 one.....at least in europe. This means you make a capucino much faster with the 785. Sorry for not native english with possible errors. Also I like to mention the fact that it is possible to dismantel rhe stupid aroma filters that are a affront for rhis machine for desent one layer ones. I come later back to tell you where to order. But i dont know if there is a allowens here to ad a link adress. ( Ohhh god I wish I could ad english spelling correction here. ( a dutchman)

Oh my god. Thank you so much for making this video.

Do they all have the same pre infusion setting?

Does the arte wand in EC885 can be applied to EC685/785?

What about that annoying and always-there noise due to the vibration of the water tank? I need to hold it firm with my hand all the time. Also the quality of the metal tray is bad; the surface gets scratched easily. Other than these, I do love my EC685.

If these machines had a pressure gauge to help fine tune the grind size, they would be a superb machine for easily learning pretty much everything important about how to pull a good shot. They represent the best value for money when combined with a decent grinder.
