+31 pts“Dude the linea mini scams are EVERYWHERE on marketplace. Always $2-2.5k. Always claim to be used for a barista cart or home use. Always <1yr old, first owner. The profile is always private - or if not, only has friends from India despite ostensibly being a local person. Their location is always *slightly* further than you can drive right at that moment, but hey, maybe if you put a down payment on it, you can head out there this weekend! After all, think of all the money you're saving! The trip will pay for itself! Don't do it. Don't put a penny down til you physically see the machine. ”

Best praise vs top criticism for De'Longhi Dedica
Best Praise
+15 pts“Welcome aboard! Pretty much the exact same we have, but we ended up getting an Encore ESP automatic grinder instead to save time. The Dedica is really a powerhouse for its price. My tips are: 1. Bottomless portafilter, IMS basket, WDT, good quality tamper. With a good grinder & beans, this will get you 80% of the way to a machine 2-3x as expensive as the Dedica. 2. Run a blank shot through the machine every time you turn it on, before you brew. It'll heat up the brew group, which will make your shot taste smoother/less acidic. More expensive machines typically have a preheating function, the Dedica doesn't, but doing this will accomplish the same result. 3. You can pull some pretty nice lungos I've found. I'm achieving \~17g in, \~60g out in 30-35s with the Colombian medium roast Arabicas we have in the house right now.”
