De'Longhi Dedica Duo Espresso Machine vs Philips Baristina BAR300/60
Buy the Philips Baristina if you want fresh-ground espresso with the least effort: it grinds, tamps and brews from a swipe of the handle, and owners rate it well for convenience. Buy the De'Longhi Dedica Duo if you want a compact stainless semi-automatic with a full-color display, a cold brew mode and a steam wand you control yourself. The Dedica Duo has the higher owner rating and a proven long-running design; the Baristina is newer and does the grinding and tamping for you.
- Choose the De'Longhi Dedica Duo if you want a slim stainless semi-automatic with a color display, a manual steam wand for latte art and a cold brew mode.
- Choose the Philips Baristina if you want to load whole beans and have the machine grind, tamp and brew espresso with almost no hands-on work.
