View this machineWhat differs
- The Dedica Style is €198.99 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.
- The ECF12 has no milk system; the Dedica Style makes milk drinks with a steam wand you control yourself.
