Mine shot off and I was splattered with hot water when I tried this

@@CrankyGrandma Use a zip tie to keep the black thing on

you can replace it with Rancilio Silvia steam as I did.

Did you? Cause I’m struggling 🥲

@@Jess_Bishop I still practice a lot, but I have managed to do somewhat nice latte art. Other days I bomb completely. I will keep practicing, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it lol

I also changed the steam wand just like you and I got to the conclusion that Delonghi Dedica hasn't enough power to draw latte art. That's why all Dedica latte art videos have cuts.

Hi, i have made a video on how to make espresso with deloghi, check the link out 👇🏻 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKyKataQ1be-n30.html

I just carry on the process even the light is off in the middle, as the sales person told me to carry on, and it doesn’t affect the outcome ☺️

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 Thank you for your answer! I started to do without stopping and see the good result 👌

I am using a 350ml pitcher. When pouring art, i transfer the milk into another pitcher which i get used to make latte art

Same bro, its a 300€ machine. But still

I have not froth with skim milk yet, because most of them saying skim milk has less fats and it is not easy to froth, especially with this low pressure steam wand.

Doing it every morning. It can be done if your technique is perfect. For me, it works 1 out of 5. But I constantly improving

all the way

It is prefer to steam without the silver wand so that the foam created will be more consistent and easier to control. Just take out and tight with a plastic zip will do :)

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 Noted on this! Thank you so much!

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 can you show how to tight it with plastic zip please? I tried it but the water still comes out with the steam.

I am using fresh milk:) If the milk overflow and spill out, you might reduce the milk amount. To avoid big bubble, probably you have to insert the steam wand a little bit more deep and keep the whirlpool swirl( sometimes it takes time because the steam wand pressure seems unstable and inconsistent)

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 thanks for the reply! i'll take ur advice n try again! thanks !!

If you're holding the jug level, try tipping it slightly to the left or right. The angle should help create the vortex. Also, heat the milk by temperature, not a set time. No more than 65°C because above that (around 68°C) the molecular structure starts to change, irreversibly, in a bad way, and this will spoil the milk. If you don't have a milk thermometer, just put your hand on the side of the jug whilst steaming. When it gets too hot to touch, you're probably around 55°C. You can stop there, or continue for just two or three seconds more to get it a little closer to 60-65°C.

In the video it was about half of the pitcher, which is about 170ml

Are you using Barista oat milk?

I tight with zip tie to avoid it pops out, but the zip tie will pops out too over time :( ya it’s kinda frustrating

Same problem!

Is it bad to take out tht silver part and just use the black tube?

@@jesstinabest5886 if you want to make latte art, by using silver part, the milk will be in very thick foam which is not easy to make latte art

What happens if the frother pops out? Do you just put it back or is the machine broken then?

Other videos I have watched put a zip tie tightly around the tip. I haven't tried it yet but looks like it works well. Check out Bltz youtube channel.

Same milk but i pour it into another jug to make it more smooth

Just rotate and pull down ☺️

Hi there , this is ECP 35.31. But i believe the steam power are the same for ECP 😊

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 Its same ECP but the wand seems to be 2inches bigger than ECP3420, and it is making a lot of difference, tried many times but can't get the texture for latte art. I am trying to change the wand.

Search for the cable tie mod.

Same problem here. Did you find a replacement wand by any chance? That 2 inches bigger wand is going to make a lot of difference.

@@MrSumanth23 i bought one from shopee!

Rotate it and pull it down

No, i did not replace the steam wand, but i remove the silver pannarello wand :)

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 I did the same, but the steam wand went out of place with the pressure. Did you find a way to lock it into place somehow?

@@jasonfrendo i tighten it with zip tie

Is it wrong if it jumps off? Is the steam wand then broken or you just put it back? I have the same machine but I dont want to risk to take silver wand off if then the steam wand can be damaged.

i am using a 350ml pitcher and 170ml milk in this video

@@2wentygrammescoffee134 thank you👍 i tried it ,very nice

Dont be frustrated, keep trying bro 💪🏻 You can insert air abit longer than mine if your milk doesn’t seems thick

use as cold milk as possible and a chilled pitcher, so the milk will be whipped longer by filling with foam until it reaches 60C. That is why you will not be able to make a good result on a small amount of milk - it will simply heat up too quickly

yes,must chill the milk before u start to froth the milk

Hmm u might reduce the time to 50s if it’s too hot

I thought the same. They clearly used a different machine. We weren't born yesterday 😅

Try to see this; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5h2oMli1qveeas.html

I'm sure they did. Are you some sort of purist trying to shame?
