Breville Barista Pro
Score: 86/100
De'Longhi Dedica Duo
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Breville Barista Pro is a semi-automatic espresso machine featuring a rapid 3-second ThermoJet heat-up and an integrated 30-setting conical burr grinder. Its manual steam wand and substantial 9 kg weight make it less suited for tight counter spaces. Ideal for home enthusiasts seeking fast, barista-level control.
The De'Longhi Dedica Duo EC890M is an ultra-compact espresso machine that heats up in 25 seconds and can brew hot espresso, milk drinks and cold brew. Its small portafilter and lack of a built-in grinder limit advanced users, but the rapid start-up and My LatteArt wand make it ideal for space-constrained kitchens. Best suited for beginners or apartment dwellers who value speed and versatility.

Professional reviewers and editors emphasize the Barista Pro's speed, thanks to ThermoJet®'s 3-second heat-up, and its precise grinding and temperature control, which together produce consistent, high-quality espresso.
Everyday users give the machine high marks, frequently noting the rapid heat-up, reliable shot consistency, and the usefulness of the bundled accessories.
“Extremely compact footprint of only 5.9 inches wide”
“Fast 25-second thermoblock heat-up delivers espresso ready in under half a minute”
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.
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.
