Great Espresso Machine (UPDATED: But poor build quality)
Had a De'Longhi Dinamica for 5 years where the coffee grinder died on me, so wanted to get a new fancier machine.
Opted for the PrimaDonna Class to take the coffee/espresso making process to a new level, and so far it has delivered.
It is much quieter than the old Dinamica (which is still available and a great started machine) and also have higher pressure (19 bar vs 15 bar) for coffee and milk dispersion. The water tank is a massive 2 liters and seems like the water wastage is much less than in the before mentioned Dinamica. I still use a Britta water purifier to filter the water before pouring into the water container so maybe just a tip to keep the machine "clean" from additional limescale.
Just one point, no need to send 2x the money for this machine (compared to the Dinamica) unless you enjoy multiple types of coffee drinks and like to upgrade to something fancier.
So, even IOT have reached espresso machines, but makes little sense as you still need to be physically present to e.g. place a cup/mug under the nozzles, change the milk froth settings, fill water, coffee beans, empty ground coffee pucks etc but fun to "impress" friends if anything...
Lastly, the shiny metal base (where you place your mugs) still gets easily scratched so keep this in mind. I don't think there is anything you can do about it... I would still buy this thoughPro

I'm delighted 🤗 Anyone looking for a fully automatic coffee machine that not only makes great different coffees but also different milk drinks is well served with this coffee machine. Price/performance is 100% right for me.

- Milk container quick and easy to clean
Contra

Very good coffee, but all functions only with APP
It was quick to set up. You can save your recipes in up to 6 profiles.
The appliance itself makes a high-quality impression with various stainless steel parts.
Relatively many recipes.
The coffee tastes very good, but a little too strong for my wife, even at the mildest setting.
I have deducted two points because the full functionality, for example copying and customising recipes, renaming user profiles, etc., is only available via the app and Bluetooth. This APP first requires access to the location transmission and creation of a profile. I just want to use a coffee machine and the manufacturer has no interest in my personal data or where the machine is located. Offering full functionality only when I as the customer provide this data would actually be grounds for a return.
Fake data can be used for the profile and there are technical ways to falsify the location.Pro
- Coffee tastes very good
- Simple commissioning of the basic functions
Contra
- Full functionality only with APP
Made to get along
Pro
- Very practical
