Reviewers largely agree the Dinamica Plus grinds and pulls espresso well, offers deep customization through its touchscreen and app, and is easy to clean, though the app can be slow and milk-drink customization has a learning curve.

The marketing pitch is largely honest about the machine's core strengths: one-touch operation, milk foam quality, and fresh grinding are all well-supported by owner and expert feedback. Customization via app and touchscreen also holds up, though the reality includes a caveat that the app can be slow to connect. Claims about recipe selection and dual-cup brewing capacity go unverified in the available data.

About

What it is.

Dinamica Plus belongs to De'Longhi's line of bean-to-cup machines, pairing a built-in conical burr grinder with an automated brewing unit so grind, dose, and extraction are handled together for each shot. Its LatteCrema System adds adjustable milk-froth settings, extending the machine's range beyond straight espresso into lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and cortados, with compatibility for both dairy and milk alternatives.

It's built for espresso drinkers who want café-style variety and consistency from a countertop unit without operating a separate grinder or steam wand, and who don't mind engaging with grind and froth settings to dial in each recipe. Those wanting a single-button, no-adjustment experience fall outside its intended use.


The verdict

The Dinamica Plus ranks fourth for cappuccino machines and delivers quality espresso with creamy milk foam, earning strong buyer approval (4.6/5) despite reviewers noting app lag and light default dosing—best suited to multi-drinker households wanting customizable one-touch drinks, though the milk system lacks cold foam and coffee temperature can be inconsistent.

In their words

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?

hilovely · verified purchase · williams-sonoma.com

Ok, lots of pros, some minor cons. Pros: This machine is easy to set up and easy to use, looks beautiful on my countertop, has several fun original settings, and makes a decent espresso shot Cons: The coffee isn't. . . the hottest, some of the parts can be fiddly to clean, and the milk carafe, while ostensibly dishwasher safe, really has to be washed by hand I'd say the pros win out.

Quality Perfectionistbest-in-class

You want espresso and milk drinks that rival a café, with minimal fuss.

Good fit

High rating (4.6/5) with deep praise for crema quality, milk foam, and customization; app slowness and light default dosing are clear compromises that prevent top-tier scoring.

Praised for thick crema, dense milk foam, and compact aesthetic; app-driven automation and forced minimum volumes reduce hands-on engagement that enthusiasts often crave.

Could fit

One-touch drinks and automatic milk frothing are simple; but app connectivity issues, light default dosing requiring manual adjustment, and multi-profile setup add friction.

Frequently asked

What buyers want to know.

  • Is DeLonghi Dinamica Plus good?

    Reviewers say it delivers quality espresso with thick crema and makes smooth milk foam for cappuccinos and lattes without manual frothing. The touchscreen and app let multiple household members save their own drink preferences. App performance is slow, and the default coffee dose is light, so you'll often need to adju…

  • What are the common problems with DeLonghi machines?

    On the Dinamica Plus specifically, reviewers note the smartphone app is slow to connect despite a Wi-Fi label, and the machine forces minimum extraction volumes that may give you more espresso than you want. The milk system only froths hot foam, not cold foam for iced drinks.

  • Is the DeLonghi Dinamica Plus discontinued?

    The grounding material does not address discontinuation status.

  • Who is this machine best for?

    It suits households with multiple coffee drinkers who want one-touch customizable espresso and milk drinks without manual grinding or frothing skill. It is not a good fit if you need cold foam capabilities, prefer hands-on espresso control, or need a fast smartphone app.
