Independent summary
The EDG315.B automatically stops at the selected volume and adds temperature control, Espresso Boost and cold mode in a machine Currys lists at only 11cm wide. Its £74.99–£75 checked machine price is less important than capsule yield: the current reference prices are about 34p per Espresso Intenso and 69p per two-capsule cappuccino. At two drinks a day, that is roughly £251 or £502 a year before delivery and price changes.

Best for
People who value compactness and a broad branded-drink range more than low long-term drink cost
Watch out for
It accepts Dolce Gusto capsules only. Many milk drinks require two sequential capsules—milk and coffee—so they are not a single-capsule milk system. UK retailers conflict materially on dimensions, power and auto-off timing; the exact De’Longhi UK page states five-minute auto-off, while Currys and Argos say one minute. Confirm worktop fit if every centimetre matters. Independent taste, noise, energy and reliability testing remains pending, so no CoffeeScore is published.

Where published specifications conflict
We keep both claims visible because choosing one silently could lead to the wrong purchase. These are evidence issues, not product faults.
Width × depth × height
unresolved · high impactWhy it matters: Argos describes a substantially larger footprint, so either set of figures could produce the wrong fit decision in a small kitchen.
How we handle it: Space checks evaluate both retailer footprints and cannot return an unqualified fit. Confirm the box/model code and measure the available space with margin.
