Thank you for your video. I must say it’s clearer than that of Delonghi’s own video, because: 1. The flashing steam button is the indicator of the descaling function and that’s not shown in Delonghi’s 2. The descaling function in action has a distinctive squirting sound, which indicates that one has picked the right function. Again, that’s not present in Delonghi’s own video.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
I tried to descale the machine with the liquid supplied by the manufacturer. Sorry to say even after following the procedure as described in the manual and shown in this video, the orange light is still blinking. What to do next!!!😥😥 Can anyone help with suggestions. Thanks!
I have never decalcified. In the user manual they classify water according to its lime content, as soft, medium and hard. In my case I use osmotic water. The first few times when I got the descale warning, -I had the soft setting-, I did a pseudo descaling, tricking the system to avoid the annoying warning flashing, but now I forget about it. I hope that the designers of coffee machines, think of the users who use osmosis systems.
@@painpeace3619 No. The operation itself of reverse osmosis could be broken down into 5 stages: Stage 1 - Sediment Filter Let's say this is the splash area for water coming from the faucet. Here we will get a powerful 5 micron sediment filter with polypropylene fabric. Thanks to its high number of open micro pores, it is possible to achieve an effective absorption of all kinds of impurities on its surface such as: rust particles, silt, sand and any other suspended agent. Stage 2 - Activated Carbon Filter It is a high-quality granulated carbon whose main muscle is its large pore surface, which has the mission of exterminating chlorine particles, odours, flavours, phenol and other organic pollutants that we can find in tap water. Stage 3 - Combined activated carbon CTO filter At this stage the filtration is more thorough and dedicated, a filter made of activated carbon powder is in charge of reducing and even eliminating remaining particles of chlorine, pesticides and other organic impurities that could affect our health. Stage 4 - Semi-permeable membrane This semi-permeable membrane is the penultimate stage, here the water passes through it, leaving behind up to 97% of dissolved elements, among which are: fungicides, herbicide bacteria, uranium, heavy metal nitrate, drug residues and more. Stage 5 - GAC post filter Our water is almost ready to be consumed, it only remains to go through the last stage, a post filter that contains granulated activated carbon of vegetable origin that helps filter the water already stored in the reserve tank, thus guaranteeing its pleasant and stimulating taste.
how the water tank can be cleaned regularly? It needs to be cleaned to avoid from bacteria in it. Is it enough just only rinsing it with water regularly or which other tips can you recommend?

nice descaling demonstration, btw I see you have Dedica grinder, how is that playing out with your naked PF, does it really grind fine espresso quality? If yes I'm gonna get one .

Hi do you think that I could do the descale process without waiting for the orange light to flash? It’s been 5 months since the last descale and i’ve been using it 2x a day?!
It flashes according to the type of water hardness chosen. There are a set number of services for each of the 3 types of water hardness. I personally use osmotic water, so I never need to use descaling.
need help here!! :( after drained full tank of diluted desacle water the desacle mode is gone (back to normal operation) is there anyway to access descale mode manully? just need to rinsing fresh water to make sure all those acid is gone....
I don't know how to manually enter descale mode, but you can hit the brew button. Can release water, but will have to press several times before the water runs out.
Thanks, I'm a big fan I just followed your tutorial guide Video and wallah my red light 💡 gone Thanks, so much for this video. My second question How come you settle for DeLonghi while you obviously can buy a high-end espresso machine!?
@@ArtyHome I don't want to seem too cocky same minds think alike I have the ability to have my dream machine LINEA MINI BLACK but I won't buy unless I know everything and can fix any problem I may have with it.
does the machine prompt you to descale? we're using our machine to make an average of 2-5 coffee per day and been using it for a month so have only used it for less than a hundred times. SO i'm wondering how I should know when I should descale. Thanks.
i just used the machine for a month and lights starts flashing ,is there something wrong with the machine,i have heard it needs descaling every 3 or 6 mothns

Does the osmosis system water not have limescale or hard metal like Ca, Mg ?

The two light indicate one shot or two shots are on all the time after cleaning the machine.
How you reset them to turn off when not in use?

in 10 minutes it auto stop?

Nice tutorial. Thanks
Can you descale at any time or only when the light flashes
Only when the light flashes.
Perfect thanks!
Thank you very much!
Hi do you think that I could do the descale process without waiting for the orange light to flash? It’s been 5 months since the last descale and i’ve been using it 2x a day?!
I’ve been using mine once a day and the orange light came after 10 months for the first time. Give it time, it’ll flash when descaling is required.
@@darshandarshand it did flash like 2 weeks ago, thank you though!

Did you reduce the pressure of the machine??

Hello. How did you modify the milk stream stick? If I buy the mechine, can I change that?
It is not a quick job but if you concentrate it is easy ruclips.net/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/видео.html
Useful,thank you.
Can we use orher descaling solution instead of Delonghi? The solution is quite pricey 😅
30 ml citric acid to 1 L of water or white vinegar at 3:7 ratio vinegar to water should be perfectly fine as well.
Can you backflush the Dedica? can’t seem to find anything on it for this machine, thx
No it does t have that function
Thanks, I'm a big fan
