De'Longhi's colorful new coffee maker is so compact you could put it in your carry-on
De'Longhi makes brilliant espresso machines. In fact, the De'Longhi La Specialist Opera holds top spot amongst the best espresso machines we've ever tested. So, when De'Longhi released its newest innovation, the Dedica Duo, a dual brew espresso machine in the brand's iconic ultra-slim design, I was thrilled to see a new addition to their line-up suited to smaller spaces. And I was even more pleasantly surprised to see that De'Longhi has embraced a huge trend right now – adding a splash of color. The Dedica Duo is available in not one, not two, not even three, but four colors. All of which are spectacularly summery. Available in Stainless Steel, Vanilla, Pistachio and Rose in both the US and UK for $299.95/£279.99 at The De'Longhi Dedica Duo is a dual brew espresso machine that sizes up at just 5.9" wide, which means if you're living in a smaller apartment, dorm or you're just short on space, it's a perfect fit. There are three preset recipes, a professional pump, digital touch display, and a commercial-style steam wand. All packed into a perfectly slimline design. De'Longhi is well-versed in making great coffee. The De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo and De'Longhi La Specialista Touch are some of the most recent models our expert team has tested – and we've been incredibly impressed. So, what does its newest addition to the De'Longhi range, the Dedica Duo, have to offer? Well, for starters, it's a model perfect for smaller spaces. At just 5.9" wide, it has an ultra-slim design that'll fit almost anywhere. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And once it's slotted into your space, you'll be able to whip up hot espresso or cold brew in under 5 minutes. And it's as simple as pressing a preset button as there's three modes locked, loaded and ready to go; espresso, double espresso and cold brew. There's a digital touch display, too, with full-color icons that are simple and soft to touch, a removable drip tray and My LatteArt steam wand if you're keen to add foam – or practice your latte art. Just in time for summer, De'Longhi has embraced a love of color. And the Dedica Duo is available in four different gelato-inspired options – classic Stainless Steel, Vanilla, Pistachio and Rose. It's a trend that has become, well, really trendy in 2025, with other iconic coffee maker brands releasing their own eye-catching colors, like the Technivorm Moccamaster in Ocean or the Fellow Aiden in Matte White. It's certainly a refreshing change from the usual Stainless Steel option, that while classic, has also become a unwavering staple for many coffee makers. I'd love to pop the Pistachio Dedica Duo onto my kitchen countertop and fortunately, I won't have to free up much space to do so.

De'Longhi's new espresso machine makes cold brew and comes in gelato-inspired hues
If you're looking to save a couple of bucks on your morning brew, consider investing in an espresso machine. We know that coffee makers can seem expensive at first, but after you do the math, you'll end up saving hundreds of dollars per year pulling shots at home. One of our favorite brands, De'Longhi, just launched its Dedica Duo to help you skip the coffee shop with an appliance that rings in at a fraction of the cost of our best-tested pick. De'Longhi Dedica Duo Espresso Machine with Cold Brew Streamline your daily espresso-based drink or cold brew with the Dedica Duo. It has a touch display that pumps out preset beverages in minutes and a slim design that seamlessly fits into any kitchen setup. It's also $1,299 less than the splurgy De'Longhi Eletta Explore. After testing 27 espresso machines over 6 weeks, the De'Longhi La Specialista Opera with Cold Brew came out on top for our best espresso machine pick. It ended up being great for a variety of users, whether you're a beginner or more experienced barista, but it does come with a steep price tag. The new Dedica Duo, on the other hand, gives you similar features like a speedy warm-up time, Thermoblock heating system, steam wand for milk, cold brew capabilities and double-digit pump pressure, but comes in at $300 versus $800 with the La Specialista Opera. That makes this a great option for those looking to step up from a budget machine to a mid-range model. As someone who is starting a kitchen renovation in a few weeks and has been looking at small home appliances, I love the variety of gelato-inspired colors it comes in. Choose from a classic Metal finish, a pretty in pink Rosé, pale green Pistachio or a pale Vanilla. Steam milk or create foam for cappuccinos with its commercial-grade wand. Beginners will be able to make velvety lattes in no time and will get to take their skills to the next level with the included Professional Barista Kit. It ships for free since it's over $40 and has a one to two-year warranty when purchased from De'Longhi. If hot beverages aren't your thing, you'll fall in love with its customizable cold brew function that can dispense cups of crisp coffee in less than five minutes with its Cold Extraction Technology. Appliances for small spaces are always on my radar. Regardless of whether you live in a large space or a studio apartment, you should be able to create barista-level drinks in your home without taking up tons of counter space. The De'Longhi Dedica Duo's slim build is pretty enough to leave out on the counter and makes hot and cold drinks, which is a game changer for those who have a Keurig or Nespresso that requires cold pods to be brewed over ice. For those who have Father's Day on their radar, this charming machine makes a great gift if he has a DIY coffee bar or enjoys sipping on espresso martinis.
