Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Dedica Duo for its ultra‑compact footprint, rapid 25‑second heat‑up and the unique Cold Extraction Technology that delivers cold brew in under five minutes. They also appreciate the My LatteArt steam wand and intuitive digital presets, but note the limited 51 mm group head, absence of pre‑infusion or temperature control, and the presence of some plastic components as drawbacks for serious enthusiasts.
What Users Say
Everyday users repeatedly praise the machine’s small size, quick start‑up time and the convenience of making both hot espresso and cold brew without extra equipment. Common frustrations revolve around the modest water‑tank capacity, occasional inconsistency in shot quality due to the small portafilter, and the need to practice with the steam wand to achieve good latte art.
Common Complaints
Frequent refilling of the small 1.1 L water tank, inconsistent espresso shots when tamping is imperfect, plastic feel of certain parts, rear‑mounted tank interfering with cabinets, and a learning curve with the steam wand.
