Hi, thanks for your video, very helpful. Liked & subscribed! Does your plastic milk frother extension keep falling off? Any tips how to put it back on, mine won't grab the metal spout deeply enough to be secure whatever I do with the rotating swivel thingy on the top of the wand extension itself. HELP! PS I see you have a very nice grinder there, which do you recommend for expresso finenes?

Thanks so much for your very helpful video, managed to pick up a red ECOM311R for £94, coffee tasted like gnat's pee initially, my fault for not waiting for the middle green light to come on, lol! Incidentally you can fit a full size mug in there by removing the metal tray cover and if necessary, the plastic drip tray underneath as well.

Until the right amount is there is the easiest method, but baristas will tell you the coffee should brew for a set period of time. I think it’s around 20 seconds plus infusion time

Error: There are nodules on the filter which should be lined up with the spaces on the holder and it just slots in and does not need to be forced. When ready to empty and clean it will just fall out.
@lon3wolf642
@lon3wolf642 28 күн бұрын
My Micalite doesn't have these nodules, the filter is held in by springs and does need to be forced as per this video. The different Iconica has nodules but also a mechanism in the handle to hold the filter in place for emptying if you wish to use it.

I have this machine and it doesn't seem to froth the milk. Tried so many times. Any ideas?
@JamiePav
@JamiePav 6 жыл бұрын
danvanillabear is it firing any steam out if you just press the button without the nozzle in anything? Are you letting the light go off before pressing the frother button? If it is actually spitting steam out just make sure there isn’t too much milk in your cup and swill it round as you do it!

Thanks for quick reply. I have completely cleaned nosle and the air hole is clear. There is only 1/3 Of milk in container. I Haven't yet tried swirling aswell as streaming but when I do steam I bubbles and spits milk. When not in milk ut us producing steam. I was thinking it may be a faulty machine. Unsure
@JamiePav
@JamiePav 6 жыл бұрын
danvanillabear maybe it’s not producing enough steam, but strange that some is coming through! Only think I can say is rather than leaving the nozzle at the bottom of the milk (this will just heat the milk up) swirl it about so the tip of the nozzle actually leaves the milk momentarily then drops back in. When I worked in a bar this was always the best way to get the frothiest milk. If that doesn’t work then I’d be inclined to call DeLonghi!

I made a small change I disassembled the filter of the machine by removing the screw, once removed I cleaned it. With the machine off, I turned the screw that is inside the machine, it is a rectangular type, I turned the machine on and I saw that more water comes out but perhaps it is because there is much more steam, the coffee is much creamier, trying is believing. Do not unscrew too much as inside there is a ball with a spring which presses the steam, unscrewing more comes out. I don't remember by eye I unscrewed it for a turn maybe a turn and a half. Io ho fatto una piccola modifica ho smontato il filtro della macchina togliendo la vite, una volta tolto l ho pulito. A macchina spenta ho girato la vite che si trova dentro la macchina è tipo rettangolare, ho acceso la macchina ed ho visto che esce sia più acqua ma forse è perché c è molto più vapore, il caffè viene molto più cremoso, provare per credere. Non svitate troppo in quanto all interno cè una pallina con una molla che preme il vapore, svitando ne esce di piu. Non mi ricordo a occhio l ho svitata per un giro forse un giro e mezzo.

@JamiePav
@JamiePav 4 жыл бұрын
Mariam Jahami make sure you really tamp it down hard, so the water is more difficult to pass through. Also you can try grinding the beans even finer as this slows the infusion and gives a stronger coffee. Failing that use the double filter so you can use more coffee!
