That steam tip at 7:35 is golden. I was going to buy a rancilo wand for my dedica but I don't think I need to go through that pain anymore... Also I found an easier way to cut off the covering. You just need to put a small pairing knife between the metal and the plastic and then hammer on top of the knife which will make it pop right off perfectly. No need for sawing. The 4 extra punctures in the plastic also really helped with steaming. After this mod, the vortex is about 7 times stronger. Can't wait to make a coffee now.

Got a used one today for 39eur. Tons of coffee residue, calcium and nasty milk frothing on the steam wand. Cleaning took like 2hrs with descaling and cleaning tablets. Got baskets from my dedica, removed the plastic insert and removed the pressurized baskets. It was a bitch to get the non-pressurized basket into the stock portafilter Have a bottomless on order. Removed the panarello and used a ziptie to have the rubber tip fixed in place. That way i can preserve it if i sell it later. No need to cut, just twist it clockwise and it should come right off I love that the portafilter gets heated so well with this machine compared to the dedica where i need to pull mutiple empty shots to get some heat. Everything is manual, which does make it more plasant for me. Steaming power seems better aswell and more consistent. The dedica hat steam pressure that waved up and down, making consistent foam kinda hard IME

From what I've read a combination of methods is most likely to help: 0. Scrub away al external sludge. If any holes are visibly clogged, poke them open with a needle. 1. soak the basket in espressomachine cleaning fluid for 15 minutes. Warming it slightly can help. 2. take the basket out and tap it on a surface a few times. Rinse it from the top under hot, flowing water. 3. repeat 1 and 2 4. After rinsing, blow through the bottom hole with as much force as you can. Repeat a few times. 5. Do a few empty runs in the machine without any coffee. If still clogged, repeat 1 to 4. To prevent this clogging, grind coarser.

@mjbartending 4 жыл бұрын
From what I know, it is a fail safe to close the seem between the outside housing (which has a single hole) and the inner-filter inlay (the actual filter). Since the fit is pretty tight, initially nothing much should happen without the liner. However, with longer use the heating-cooling may cause the seem to grow, explaining the need of the rubber inlay. Note that I also bought original pressurized spare filters and they came from the factory without rubber (as seen in the video). So perhaps that is an improved version.

@mjbartending 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, cutting the portafilter open is not needed to get good crema. You do need non-pressurized filter baskets. The weight of coffee will always vary with the type of coffee, roast, grinder and freshness. Currently, I use 18 grams of Peruvian Mayar Omni Roast at a relatively coarse grain. With espresso roast (=lighter) I usually need a finer grain. It has been long since I used a pressurized basket and I don't remember what settings I used. Fact is the volume of the baskets is roughly the same so you would never use much more. The 18 grams I mentioned above completely fill my basket, using a coarse grain.

Is it it better to dial according to weight? So can one can do the ratio of 1.8 - 2.2 by weight whatever your crema is. I have almost the same Delonghi but 33.21 version. I stopped pretending that I get real espresso from it because of thermal instability.
@mjbartending 4 жыл бұрын
That could actually be good, I think, as long as you keep flavour in mind. You are right: crema shouldn't matter as much, I stir it up before drinking anyway. Aromatic balance should be more important, so yes, you can try dialing in by ratio. Previously, I kep it simple and stuck to extraction time + crema development only. As a novice, this helped me understand the basics. As you said, the ECP's temperature fluctuates and its peak is a bit too low for "the perfect textbook espresso". Also, I can't adjust the pressure so these are two more reasons why I dialed in this way. Personally, I'd now try to start with extraction time to get an idea of the coffee's characteristics, then fine tune by ratio. Maybe in the near future I'll post a video on it, but for now I am exploring slow coffee.

@mjbartending 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Cristy, I have no experience with this machine. From what reviews I read, it appears to have a 51mm basket size that takes either DeLonghi or Krupps baskets so you could use the exact same ones I use. The current easiest purchase is a double shot non-pressurized basket from amazon. Just search for "breville krupps non pressurized basket 51mm", or smth along that line. As for modding, the pictures of the portafilter that I saw, show that the handle is very close to the bottom, near the spouts. You may risk losing handle integrity when you need to cut that close or even partially through the handle. Also, removing too much material of the portafilter ring could cause it to deform which repetitive heating and cooling. See my short video on this. I hope you can make it work, good luck !

Hello! I have the same machine and I'm very happy. After I got back from my holidays I tried to use it but there's air locked inside the machine and it doesn't work. I watched tutorials how to unlock the air from the pipes but I cannot access them. Do you have any idea how can i open the machine to reach the pipes and unlock the air? Thank you

Honest answer: not sure! Where exactly are you blocked when you open it up?

Did anyone managed to get an aftermarket 1 shot 51mm unpressurized basket. I can't find em anywhere, and I don't think I can flatten the europiccola one with enough accuracy... thanks!

Hi! It's been awhile since I last used my DeLonghi but it averaged between 7-10 grams, if I remember correctly

Hahaha, very true! I took this into account, knowing that could buy a replacement frothing sleeve for approx 20dollars to restore to its factory condition.

My steam wand stops before my milk gets frothy. I waited until the green light comes on before i froth my milk but after 15secs it stips and the green light goes off. Any idea why? And its brand new!
@mjbartending 4 жыл бұрын
Same happened to me sometimes, especially with half litre milk jugs. I believe the green light only indicates temperature of a small reservoir, saying the machine is ready to start making steam. To make sure it can build up enough steam, I sometimes do a cleaning purge first and wait until the it goes through a second warm up cycle. This one takes much shorter, 5-8 seconds. Then your machine can keep up while steaming. Often I do not even wait for a second cycle, don't worry if the light jumps to orange again half way; it never stays on green during my steaming sessions yet still produces enough foam.

Michel Bartending glad to know im not the only one. But mine just dies off to totally no air coming out of the wand before the green light turns off. Its annoying tho

@@hanhs850 oh wait, i think i get it. It is because of the automated stand by timer. You need to first warm up the boiler with the switch in the middle (= for making hot water). Once you get green light on that, THEN switch on steam. If you switch on steam first, the heating up takes so long in 1 mode that your machine will not get any action or input for too long and turn off. Is that it?

Michel Bartending the machine doesnt turn off tho. Only the green light goes off.. its weird but i shall try to wait for the green light with the switch at middle position and then turn it to steam. Thanks!

Im exploring getting a coffee machine and have noticed un pressurized baskets is the way to go would you say this is a good machine for someone starting out ?
@mjbartending Жыл бұрын
For starting out: it depends. No that it's bad or complicated when using unpressurized baskets, but in order to fit a double shot unpressurized basket, you'll need to grind off some plastic on the inside of the porta filter. If you are willing to and capale of doing that, it could be a good starting point!
