Slim manual-steam espresso machines, with the Duo adding a cold-brew preset.
EC885M Arte centers on conventional espresso and My LatteArt manual steaming; EC890M Duo adds its documented cold-brew preset.
OPTION 01
De’Longhi Dedica Arte
US model: EC885M
The Dedica Arte combines a narrow body with a manual My LatteArt steam wand. Consider it for a hands-on espresso routine where width matters and cold-brew presets are not a priority.

Which would suit your kitchen?
Choose the drinks before the model name
If hot espresso and milk drinks cover your routine, investigate the Arte without paying for a cold-drink setting you will not use. If cold coffee is a regular preference, the Duo’s preset is a relevant difference. Do not confuse its process with an overnight steep.
Both leave milk technique to you
Neither is an automatic latte system. You position the jug and steam the milk, so think about whether that is part of the pleasure or a chore on busy mornings. For automatic texturing, compare the Bambino Plus and include the cost of its separate grinder.
Price and measure the whole station
Neither Dedica has an integrated grinder. Include coffee preparation, jug movement, water access and accessories in the decision. Verify the exact EC885M or EC890M and package contents at checkout; similar bodies and names do not make all Dedica models interchangeable.
