De’Longhi has put a redesigned All-in-One Combination Coffee and Espresso Machine, model COM630BK, on sale. It brews espresso, drip coffee and cold brew from one countertop unit and lists at $349.95 on De’Longhi’s US site.
TechRadar reported that the new version has a 20% smaller footprint and a built-in cold-milk frother, and T3 also covered it. Both describe it as a smaller follow-up to a combination machine that shoppers already know.
What does the COM630BK do?
It pairs an espresso machine with a drip coffee maker, so one person can pull a shot while another fills a carafe. Here is what De’Longhi’s product page and the two outlets list:
- Espresso: 15 bar pump with Thermoblock heating, single and double shot settings
- Drip coffee: six sizes, from a single 8oz mug to a 12-cup carafe
- Four drip styles: classic, bold, cold brew and over ice
- Milk: adjustable steam wand for hot milk and a retractable frother for cold foam
- Controls: front touchscreen, with an adjustable height drip tray
- Water tank: 67.63 oz, maximum cup height 7.02 inches
- Power: 1500 W, 115 V, 60 Hz, weight 15.68 lb
- In the box: a plastic tamper and spoon
How much does the COM630BK cost?
De’Longhi’s US page shows $349.95, the same figure TechRadar and T3 give. De’Longhi’s Canadian page lists the same model at $399.99 with an Add to cart button, but it shows no currency code, so check it at checkout.
| Market | Price on De’Longhi’s site |
|---|---|
| US | $349.95 |
| Canada | $399.99 (currency not shown) |
T3 says the machine is exclusive to the US and not sold directly in the UK, while the Canadian page suggests it is also sold there. Prices can change at any time, and major retailers may price it differently.
How does it differ from the older model?
T3 notes that the earlier COM530M arrived around September 2020. The new machine keeps the combination idea but shrinks the footprint by 20% and adds the cold-milk frother and touchscreen controls, according to TechRadar. De’Longhi has not published a side by side comparison, so treat claims about better taste or speed as untested.
How does it compare with rivals?
The obvious rival is the Ninja Luxe Cafe, which also combines espresso, drip coffee and cold brew in one machine and which we have covered separately. Compare the two on price in your own market, on the drip sizes you need and on counter space. The sources we read did not test the two against each other, so any claim about a winner is untested.
Why are people looking at it?
It is a fresh launch from a well known brand, it arrived in late October, and it sits in the price range where many households buy a coffee machine for the holidays. It also answers a common complaint about combination machines, which is the space they take on the counter.
Who should buy it?
Households with two coffee habits. One person likes espresso and milk drinks, another wants a full carafe. The six drip sizes cover both.
Cold coffee fans. The cold brew and over ice drip styles plus the cold foam frother target iced drinks, though De’Longhi has not given brew times for them.
Small kitchens. A footprint 20% smaller than the old model helps, but check the height and depth against your cupboards before you order.
People who want pods or a bean to cup machine. This is not one. You grind and tamp yourself, so a pod or fully automatic machine suits you better.
What is still unknown?
Availability outside the US is not confirmed by TechRadar, and the Canadian currency is unstated. We have not tested the machine, and neither source gives brew times or noise levels.
Before you buy, open De’Longhi’s page for your country to confirm the price and currency, then compare it with the retailer listings for the same COM630BK model.
