Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The Dedica Style is the slimmest proper espresso machine in this ranking and by far the most reviewed. The listing describes a 15 bar manual machine with a 1350W heating system, a 1 litre water capacity and a metal body weighing 4.22 kilograms, measuring 14.9 by 33 by 30.3 centimetres, with a milk frother named among its features.

At 14.9 centimetres deep it fits a counter where the bean-to-cup machines here will not, and the reusable filter means no pods to rebuy. The trade for the narrow footprint is a small water tank, so expect to refill it often. At the time of collection it carried 42,038 ratings at 4.2 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
