Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Dinamica Plus better than the Latte Touch?
It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi Dinamica Plus excels for users who want the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system, while the Bellucci Latte Touch is the better choice if you prioritize Standard features.
How do the grinders compare?
The Dinamica Plus uses a Steel Conical, whereas the Latte Touch features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean?
Both the DeLonghi Dinamica Plus and Bellucci Latte Touch feature removable brew groups. To prevent mechanical failure and ensure longevity, you must manually extract and rinse the brew group under warm water weekly, and routinely re-lubricate the internal O-rings.
Which machine costs more to maintain?
The DeLonghi Dinamica Plus is generally more expensive to maintain over time. We project an estimated annual maintenance cost of $190 for the DeLonghi versus $180 for the Bellucci, assuming average daily usage and strictly following the manufacturer's recommended replacement schedule.
Which machine handles oily coffee beans better?
Neither machine handles oily beans well. Both the DeLonghi Dinamica Plus and Bellucci Latte Touch have highly sensitive grinders. Using dark, oily roasts in either of these machines will quickly lead to clogged hoppers, seized brew groups, and expensive repairs. Stick to dry, medium roasts.
