Expert review · Hands-off espresso
Verdict
The De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM350.35.W suits anyone who wants fresh espresso in under a minute, but serious baristas will want more control.

Third-party reviews

What we like about De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM350.35.W

  • Excellent, consistent coffee quality with high-quality crema
  • Fast heat-up time (approx. 40 seconds)
  • Quiet grinder compared to other fully automatic machines
  • Stylish and compact design, particularly in the glossy white finish
  • Easy to use, intuitive interface with one-touch options
  • Simple maintenance and cleaning, with removable brew group and dishwasher-safe parts

What we don't like about De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM350.35.W

  • Milk frother is manual, requiring skill to get perfect foam, unlike automatic carafe models
  • Can be noisy during the steaming process
  • Some users find the default temperature settings produce only warm coffee, necessitating adjustments
  • Pricey, though considered good value for the features
  • The glossy finish can be a fingerprint magnet

Verdict

The DeLonghi Dinamica ECAM350.35.W is a superautomatic coffee machine with a 15-bar pump, a removable 1.8-litre water tank and a 300 g bean container. Its integrated grinder supports convenient bean-to-cup preparation, while the automatic format is less suited to users who prefer manual control.
