What owners say
Checked Oct 16, 2026Too few owner reviews to judge. In our score this is 1.75 of 2 points. How we score
- Most of the 672 r/espresso posts and comments we read from Oct 2024 to Oct 2026 concern the classic Dedica EC685 and are dial-in questions rather than fault reports; owners describe it as cheap and long-lived, one after two years and another after ten (Jun 2026). For the Dedica Duo EC890 now sold in the US there is one owner comment: happy after three months (Aug 2026). No Amazon listing for the Dedica Duo was found, so there is no star rating to cite. reddit.com
“Well I'm happy with mine and only paid like 100 euros for it two years ago.”
“Im using dedica duo it’s been three months. Im happy with it but i feel like coffee shop coffee tastes some”
