The De'Longhi Dedica Style EC685 Manual Espresso Machine runs on a 1300W Thermoblock system with 15-bar pump pressure. Within 40 seconds, the 15cm metal chassis reaches extraction temperature for ground coffee or ESE pods. Compared to the EC680, this version adds an adjustable steam wand for milk texture control and a double-tier drip tray for 12cm mugs.
Key Features
- 15-Bar Pump: High-pressure internal pump forces water through coffee grounds. Produces dense, stable crema for espresso shots.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to descale De'Longhi Dedica EC685?
Start the descaling cycle when the orange light flashes by using a dedicated descaling solution. This clears mineral buildup from internal pipes to prevent pressure loss.
Can De'Longhi EC685 use ESE pods?
Use the specific 51mm filter basket included in the box for Easy Serving Espresso pods. It enables brewing without the need for manual tamping or a grinder.
