De'Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus or Sage Bambino?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus and the Sage Bambino, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Bambino is €52.05 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Neither has a grinder. Budget for a separate one with both, and for a sum that comes close to the machine itself.
  • Milk: the Dedica Maestro Plus does it with a steam wand that froths on its own; the Bambino with a steam wand you control yourself.
  • Cleaning the Dedica Maestro Plus's milk system: wipe with a damp cloth after every frothing.
  • Cleaning the Bambino's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
