What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Dinamica Plus
across 5 reviews
3.4/5
Reviewers praise
  • Produces quality espresso with thick crema when grinder is set fine (levels 3-4) and beans are fresh
  • Automatic Latte Crema system creates dense, creamy milk foam for cappuccinos and lattes
  • Easy daily cleaning with removable brew group, water tank, and automatic rinse cycles
Reviewers push back
  • Smartphone app is slow to start and connect via Bluetooth despite being labeled with Wi-Fi symbol
  • Default coffee dosing uses minimal grounds; users often need to manually increase strength settings
  • Milk system only produces hot foam, not cold foam for iced beverages
Reviewers agree the Dinamica Plus delivers quality espresso with good crema, offers extensive drink customization through an app and touchscreen, and is easy to clean, though the app can be slow and some find the default coffee dosing light.
— best for: Households with multiple coffee drinkers who want customizable one-touch espresso and milk drinks without manual frothing or grinding.

4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Solid, premium build quality with metal parts made in Italy
  • Grinder produces strong, crema-rich espresso and handles a wide range of grind settings and dose sizes
  • Cold brew and cold milk frothing system is genuinely distinctive and produces a full-bodied iced drink without watering it down
Reviewers push back
  • Companion app is clunky and only marginally useful; remote start is undermined by an automatic rinse cycle
  • Bean Adapt feature requires the app to set up and its interaction with individual drink settings is confusing
  • Milk system needs manual disassembly and washing beyond its auto-rinse, since residue remains in parts of the circuit
Reviewers agree this is a well-built, feature-packed super-automatic that makes both hot and cold drinks with real customization, but the companion app is clunky and Bean Adapt setup is confusing.
— best for: Buyers who want a single machine that makes both hot espresso drinks and true cold brew/iced coffee with minimal daily fuss will like it.
Reviewers disagree · Dinamica Plus?

One reviewer praises the app as a fantastic addition while another finds it merely decent and slow

Coffee Kev 3.5/5

One reviewer found the touchscreen interface excellent overall despite app frustrations, while another felt the whole Bean Adapt logic just doesn't make sense as designed

Latté in the morning and a cold brew in the afternoon. Obsessed with my De'Longhi Dinamica Plus machine for those milk-based drinks and those black coffees. Mmmm. Get fancy with your coffee with this guy. We've had other very high end coffee makers and espresso makers and this one blows them out of the water. Why spend $4k wen this one makes better coffee?

I can't say enough positive things about this machine. It took me days just to get off the cappuccinos and to the other drinks I enjoy and it nails every single one. It just nails them all. It took some time with the initial setup with the Bean Adept feature to make sure it adjusts to your preferences, but this maker just nails it. Add a little syrup if you like and it'll taste like your drinks ju BCole · williams-sonoma.com
