De'Longhi Dedica KG 521.M

The metal Italian dude from the DEDICA design line is rightfully considered one of the best contenders for the role of a home coffee grinder. Grinding in the model is carried out by grinding coffee beans between two conical millstones (38 mm in diameter), which allows you to control the degree of their grinding with great precision and ensures the uniformity of the structure of freshly ground coffee.

18 position adjustment

Regularly De'Longhi DEDICA KG 521.M is completed with a sealed container for 170 g for ground coffee and a hopper for grains twice as large in capacity. At the base of the latter, there is an 18-position scale for selecting the desired degree of grinding, additionally divided into 3 separate sectors. The numbers “1-6” on it indicate the finest grinding for carob coffee makers, “7-12” for drip coffee makers and “13-18” for a French press.

Display led

An important role in the arsenal of the coffee grinder is played by a display with adjustable blue backlight, which serves to display the number of selected servings (from 1 to 14 cups) and visual control of the coffee strength(light, medium and strong). Also, the model is worthy of respect for the ability to programme the desired amount of grinding into the horn. To do this, you will need to hold down the start button for the required period of time. The coffee grinder remembers it and subsequently gives out similar portions of freshly ground coffee at the exit.

Direct grinding

Programming the amount of ground coffee is only available when the portafilter adapter is inserted. Yes, yes, the model is also notable for the fact that it kindly provides the user with the function of direct grinding into the native “Delaunagh” horns of espresso machines. When grinding in the hopper, it is unfortunately not possible to programme portions. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the device looks best in tandem with a narrow De'Longhi EC 685.BK coffee maker from the same collection.
