Casabrews CM5418 Review – Worthy Alternative to the Delonghi Dedica?

Uploaded by admin on June 25, 2026 at 8:43 pm

In this video, I show you the Casabrews CM5418 20 bar (?) espresso machine. This is an homage to the Delonghi Dedica EC885, at about half the price. But is it any good? How is the build quality, and how well does it work? We exhibit the machine compared to the Delonghi Dedica, and show it in basic mode, and advanced mode.
