De’Longhi Dedica Duo EC890.M
Slim manual espresso machine with cold brew mode
Editorial review Reviewed 21 October 2026 How we assess products
At 14.9cm wide, the Dedica Duo is the pick when the gap beside the kettle matters more than an integrated grinder or automatic milk. It keeps a conventional portafilter and manual steam wand, with single and double espresso controls and a cold-extraction mode for iced drinks. The wider cup area is a useful improvement over older Dedica designs when making two short coffees.
