De'Longhi All-in-One Combination Coffee and Espresso Machine COM630BK Review

A combination drip coffee and 15 bar espresso machine with instant cold brew and a hot and cold frothing system

One appliance for a pot of drip, a shot of espresso and a glass of cold brew saves counter space. De'Longhi's COM630BK combines a 15 bar pump espresso machine with a 12-cup drip coffee maker and an instant cold brew function, plus a hot and cold frother.

Spec-led review. Built from the manufacturer’s published specification and price rather than hands-on testing. Figures we could not find stated are left blank instead of estimated. Updated when we get one in.

From $349.95

The De'Longhi All-in-One Combination Coffee and Espresso Machine COM630BK is the cold brew version of De'Longhi's combination machine: a 15 bar espresso maker and a full-capacity drip coffee maker in one body, with a hot and cold frothing system. De'Longhi lists it at $349.95 on its US store.

What is the De'Longhi COM630BK combination coffee and espresso machine?

It is a two-in-one countertop machine. One side brews drip coffee, up to a 12-cup carafe according to De'Longhi, and the other pulls single-serve espresso from a 15 bar pump. De'Longhi's page sells it on versatility, saying it delivers everything from drip coffee to single-serve espresso, and that the frothing system lets you make iced lattes, cappuccinos and cold brew at home.

The page carries a NEW and COLD BREW badge and the words "New look. New features." It is the newer, cold-focused member of the family, finished in black. De'Longhi names four things that make the range special: a dual-mode milk frother for lattes and cappuccinos, a built-in retractable cold frother for cold foam, simple preset recipes for a single or double espresso, and an instant cold brew function that skips overnight steeping.

The dimensions appear on De'Longhi's page as 12x12x15.2 with no unit, so they are left out of the table. The page states no warranty length beyond "full manufacturer warranty." A manual is said to be in De'Longhi's support section.

How does the COM630BK cold brew and cold frothing work?

Cold brew is the reason this model exists, so it is worth being precise about what De'Longhi claims. The maker describes an instant cold brew function that lets you skip overnight brewing and enjoy cold brew in minutes. Cold brew also appears in the page's function list next to hot milk and hot water. De'Longhi does not publish a brew time in minutes, a ratio or a temperature for the function, so those details are unknown until you read the manual.

The frothing side has two parts. The dual-mode milk frother makes the hot, velvety milk for lattes and airy cappuccinos. The retractable cold frother is built in and makes cold foam for iced lattes. The spec list also mentions an adjustable cappuccino system and an autocappuccino system, but the page does not explain how those relate to the dual-mode frother, so this page does not claim the milk drinks are automatic.

On the espresso side, the page describes simple preset recipes for a single or double espresso, and the spec list shows a dose count of 2. Heating is by thermoblock, which heats water as it flows through a metal block. De'Longhi does not state a warm-up time.

De'Longhi COM630BK vs De'Longhi COM532M: what does cold brew add?

The closest comparison is the sibling model one step down the range, the De'Longhi All-in-One Coffee and Espresso Maker COM532M. Both are 15 bar, 1500 W combination machines sold in De'Longhi's US store, and both have a digital touch display. The COM532M is listed at $319.95 in grey, and the COM630BK at $349.95 in black, so the cold brew model costs $30 more.

What the COM630BK adds, in De'Longhi's own words, is the cold side: an instant cold brew function, a built-in retractable cold frother for cold foam, and a dual-mode frother that covers hot and cold milk. The COM532M is described with an advanced manual frother, a Dual Heating System that brews coffee and espresso at the same time, a Bold setting, a spill-proof carafe and a 24-hour timer. The COM630BK page does not mention dual heating, a Bold setting or a timer, so if any of those matter to you, check the manual before paying the extra $30. If you drink mostly hot drinks, the COM532M's feature list covers that ground for less.

De'Longhi COM630BK vs Ninja CFN601

The Ninja CFN601 Espresso & Coffee Barista System is another machine that puts espresso and coffee in one body. It is listed at $229.99, which is $120 under the COM630BK. It has a 19 bar pump, 1550 W, a 1.77 L tank, a built-in fold-away frother and a 1 year warranty, and it runs on capsules and ground coffee.

The COM630BK has the larger tank at 67.63 oz, about 2 L, and a drip carafe of up to 12 cups. Its pump is rated 15 bar against the Ninja's 19 bar, and its power is 1500 W against 1550 W. The COM630BK is aimed at someone who wants a big pot of drip plus espresso plus cold drinks from a single touch display; the Ninja is aimed at someone who wants a lower price and a fold-away frother. Neither maker lists a built-in grinder.

Is the De'Longhi COM630BK worth it?

At $349.95 it is a premium among combination machines. You are paying for the cold features: instant cold brew and cold foam are what separate it from the cheaper All-In-One variants De'Longhi shows on the same page at $299.95 and $319.95. If you make iced drinks all year, those features replace a separate cold brew setup and a handheld frother. If you rarely make cold drinks, the cheaper variants share the same 15 bar and 1500 W figures on paper, and the extra money buys little for you.

Nobody has tested this machine here, so how the espresso or cold brew tastes is not something this page can promise.

Who should buy the COM630BK (and who should not)

It suits a household with mixed tastes: one person wants a pot of drip in the morning, another wants a latte, and in summer everyone wants iced coffee. The 12-cup carafe, the 15 bar espresso side and the cold frother all point at that kind of kitchen.

It is not the pick for someone who only drinks espresso, because a dedicated espresso machine costs less and takes less space. It is also not for anyone who wants a built-in grinder, since none is listed, or someone short on counter space: the machine weighs 15.68 lb and its tank holds about 2 L. Finally, if you need a stated warranty term before buying, De'Longhi's page only says "full manufacturer warranty."

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the De'Longhi COM630BK make cold brew?

Yes. De'Longhi lists cold brew as a function and describes an instant cold brew mode that skips overnight brewing and delivers cold brew in minutes. The page does not give a brew time or ratio.

What is the difference between the COM630BK and the COM532M?

The COM630BK is the cold brew model, with a retractable cold frother and an instant cold brew function. The COM532M lists a Dual Heating System, a Bold setting and a 24-hour timer, and costs $30 less at De'Longhi.

How much water does the COM630BK hold?

De'Longhi lists the water tank at 67.63 oz, which is about 2 liters.

Does it have a built-in grinder?

No grinder is listed on De'Longhi's page. The accessory listed is a plastic tamper and spoon, so you would use pre-ground coffee or grind separately.

Is the COM630BK a drip coffee maker too?
