#entry-level

De'Longhi Dedica EC685.M

Bought for 1,569 SEK (€143) in May 2021, used for 3–4 coffees a day for four years, sold for 500 SEK (€45) in September 2025. Net cost: 1,069 SEK (€97) over 52 months. A solid entry-level choice — and the machine that taught me what I needed next.

Graef CM900EU Silver

A capable entry-level espresso grinder that served the De'Longhi Dedica well. When the Sage Dual Boiler arrived, the mismatch became clear — the CM900 was too loud and too limited for a serious machine. Sold for 400 SEK.
