According to our Fully automatic espresso machine expert
With the De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM350.55.B, you can make 4 different coffee specialties with the touch of a button via the LCD display. The text display and useful icons guide you through the brewing process. You can make a cappuccino and latte macchiato in no time. Each milk specialty has a creamy and thick foam underlay, thanks to the LatteCrema system. The milk reservoir ensures the right temperature and cleans itself automatically after use. Want to adjust a coffee specialty to your liking? Set your preferences for each preparation and save it in your user profile. On top of the coffee machine, you'll find a container for ground coffee. This is useful if you want to drink a cup of decaffeinated coffee in the evening, for example.
If something is wrong with the coffee machine, De'Longhi provides an at home service in the Netherlands and Belgium with its own technicians.
Quickly brew a cup of coffee with a De'Longhi fully automatic coffee machine

Design
I bought this device to replace my previous device, a Saeco Moltio (entry-level model 1-button cappucino). This started to show some defects after a few years, especially with the milking mechanism.
looks Personally, I'm not a fan of glossy black (my wife is), but I have to say that it fits this device extremely well. Together with the chrome elements it is a beautiful whole. What also immediately struck me is how compact this device is, our countertop immediately looks a bit more streamlined.
Water reservoir This device has a large water reservoir of 1.8 liters. With the water filter installed, it can effectively hold 1.65 liters of water up to the MAX line, which is still more than enough for the average user. The water reservoir is also not clogged in the device as with other devices, so you can check the water level at all times.
bean container The bean container is easy to open and is very spacious. The beans also slide easily into the grinder without leaving anything behind.
The coffee At first I was afraid that my espressos would taste slightly different in this device because it does not have ceramic grinding discs like the previous one. I've been using both units side by side for a day and can't detect a noticeable difference in taste between the metal and ceramic grinders. DeLonghi has done well with this device. I also like my espresso as hot as possible, and in terms of temperature, the Delonghi leaves the Saeco far behind. What is also striking during the brewing process is that this device is significantly quieter when brewing a nice cup of coffee. This is one of the quieter units I've seen in action.
The milk specialties The rest of the family mainly consumes the milk specialties, and we are also positively surprised there, whether it is a Cappucino or a Latte Macchiato, these come out just as beautiful and taste delicious every time. You can adjust the frothing level of the milk from flat to extra frothy to suit everyone's taste. What we find particularly useful is that the complete milk reservoir can be stored in the refrigerator, with the previous appliance we had to empty it every time to be able to clean the milk circuit. This is not necessary with this device, because with the milk in the reservoir you can start a rinse of the milk circuit with the turn of the knob. I should also note that the noise level of frothed milk is many times quieter than with our old appliance.
Maintenance When designing this device, I think the focus was on excellent coffee and ease of use. The coffee grounds drawer and water collector are easy to remove and very easy to clean with a little soapy water. What stands out here with the previous unit is that there is a separate area for collecting ground coffee, so that it does not mix with the water surplus. With the Saeco this is 1 compartment and that was usually a gunk. The brew group must be cleaned once a month. This can also be done very easily by removing the water reservoir, opening a hatch, removing the brew group and letting it soak in cold water for a while. then rinse and let dry and the machine is ready for use again.
Maybe a small minus? The heated bag holder on top, it takes a long time before it is up to temperature, now I personally don't mind because I first rinse my cups with hot water to bring them up to temperature.
Conclusion: no regrets!

This device is very easy to use. The menu is self explanatory and has many options. Other pluses are that when starting up and shutting down the device rinses (put a bag underneath!). You can also rinse the milk reservoir with a simple turn of the knob and then simply place it in the fridge. Personally, I also really like that you can opt for the hot milk option. As a result, my son can also make 'white coffee' for himself and drink along with the 'big'.

Easy to use and good coffee. The downside is that it does not indicate when there is too little water in the reservoir for your choice. You may only get half a cup. After 2.5 years of normal use, the device suddenly started to smoke. Quickly turned off and luckily there was no fire because we were there. Sent to delonghi but no leniency. Just tap 130 euros for repair. You can expect a device to last longer.
