De'Longhi Classic EM450 or De'Longhi Dedica Style?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi Classic EM450 and the De'Longhi Dedica Style, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • There is barely anything between them on price — so you can leave that out of it.
  • Both a portafilter machine: the same way of working.
  • Neither has a grinder. Budget for a separate one with both, and for a sum that comes close to the machine itself.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you work yourself.
