Es601eu vs dinamica plus
Hi,
I’ve had a De’Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM370.85.SB for a few years. I’m not really into the whole coffee-making process, ratios, dialing in grinders, etc. I like the coffee my Dinamica Plus makes, and I’m sure my current grinder settings would probably make some coffee enthusiasts cry 😅
I wanted to get a little more into coffee and potentially improve the quality without turning it into a full hobby, and the Ninja Luxe Café ES601EU caught my attention.
I was seeing a lot of positive reviews, but then I found this subreddit. I understand that people with problems are much more likely to post than people whose machine works perfectly, but the number of posts about machines developing issues that couldn’t be fixed and eventually had to be returned is a little scary.
So my main question is about coffee quality.
Has anyone here used both the Ninja Luxe Café and a Dinamica Plus, or a similar higher-end bean-to-cup machine?
I understand they are very different machines, since the Dinamica is fully automatic and the Ninja is semi-automatic. I'm changing cause I'm interested on that semi automatic workflow. What I really want to know is whether the Ninja would actually produce better coffee once i learn the setup, or whether I could end up downgrading from the Dinamica Plus.
If the coffee quality is at least as good, and ideally better, I’ll probably give it a try since I can currently find an ES601EU for around €230.
Thanks!
