Breville Bambino Plus vs. De'Longhi Dedica Deluxe
Two of the most compact espresso machines on the market, both without a built-in grinder. The Bambino Plus adds hands-free automatic milk texturing and a faster ThermoJet heating system. The Dedica Deluxe is narrower still — about 6 inches wide — with a manual frothing wand and a smaller water tank.
