5 published specifications differ · Updated
Both run 19 bar pumps and automatic milk carafes. The Eletta Explore adds a second heating circuit and cold milk texturing for iced drinks; the Dinamica Plus is three hundred dollars cheaper and physically smaller. Cold drinks are the deciding feature.
$2,000 · Super-automatic
The top of De'Longhi's automatic range: dual heating, a 19 bar pump and cold milk texturing as well as hot.
$1,448 · Super-automatic
A colour-touch Dinamica with app connectivity and a 19 bar pump, aimed at households with several drink preferences.
On the specifications both manufacturers publish, this machine has no clear advantage — the case for it is price and availability rather than hardware.
Rows where the two machines differ are highlighted. A row is only counted as a difference when both manufacturers publish the figure — an em dash against a number is a gap in disclosure, not a win.

Both are advertised at 19 bar, and both actually brew at roughly 9 bar — the advertised figure is the pump's maximum, not the pressure at the coffee.
