It’s so helpful for beginner like me as I bought my first coffee machine the same one you are using in the video. I was trying to figure out how to do setting from last 3 days. I don’t think I could understand the concept without watching your video. So thankful for step by step easy explanation
Very good vid, so in summary: For Settings Menu Press and Hold Steam Button for 10 Seconds:- =============== Button 1 - Temperature (low / med / high) Button 2 - Water Hardness (soft / med / hard) Button 3 - Stand By (9m / 30m / 3h) Steam Dial + Button 1 - Reset Steam Dial + Button 2 - no function? Steam Dial + Button 3 - Descale Normal Functions =============== Press and Hold Button 1 to set water amount delivered on Single Cup Press and Hold Button 2 to set water amount delivered on Double Cup Press Button 3 for Steam
Glad I could help, Imran! I also have a video on how to set the shot amount. Basically, just keep holding down the 1 cup or 2 cup button until the desired amount has been reached in the cup. Cheers!
Thank you so much!!🔝This was really helpful!!Now can you please make a video with all the settings and how I can make a cappuccino with all the settings! I use oat milk. Please tag me!
Hi Demina! Thanks for your feedback. Check out this video, where I show 2 ways to make a cappuccino. Once with the basic method, and once with the advanced. ruclips.net/video/G-GeZ9fbajw/видео.html
Hey Tom, thanks for all the Dedica videos! It seems that you are using KG 79/89 grinder. If so, could you please let me know which grind size you usually user on it?
Hi nice video - maybe I missed it but what I didn't see is how to see is how to set the length of the time for a double or single shot. I know that supposedly the perfect double is between 20 and 30 seconds - I'm at 21 and its just not long enough. Help would be appreciated.
A simple helpful video! I have a question for you…how many degrees did you have in the coffee with a “cold” cup and temperatures set to max? A lot of people don’t like the dedica because makes a coffee not so warm, i want buy it but i’m scared about the temperatures of espresso. Thank you so much!
Hey Gianluca, I didn't measure the temp of the coffee, but with the Dedica you have to make sure to preheat your espresso cups. If you want a really hot espresso coming out, I would recommend looking at the new Gaggia Classic Pro. Its boiler sits right on top of the brew group, which is why it is way hotter. The Dedica's boiler is a good distance away from the brew group, thus there is some heat loss in the hoses that lead from the boiler to the brew group. Cin cin! Tom
@@TomsCoffeeCorner no i’m not a big fan of a big hot espresso, but i saw video that coming out water from top of the machine without basket with 84 degrees and coffee in cup at 57 degrees, too cold for me. I always monitor price of gaggia classic pro and lelit anna, but is so much expensive than the dedica. However thank you so much for the answer! 😉
It's really worth it for the money, on hot setting the coffee is hot not warm i promise 🔥🤩 you can preheat the cup really quickly with some water from the machine while you prepare espresso.. Also - super fast machine.
Hi Tom, will lower temperature settings help me with getting a better mill for capuccino? Usually I run out of time and end up with hot milk and the milk just falls through my espresso, it's not nice for latte art! Thank you for all your videos!
Hmm, could it be that the machine is still hot from steaming, and needs to cool down? Otherwise, try unplugging the machine, and plugging it back in. Or, factory reset perhaps. Cheers!
Hi Tom, i have a question: my delonghi dedica doesn’t stop the water function when i make an espresso. Normal lt the machine stop in the 25-30 sec but i have te o push the cup button yo stop the extraction. Do you know how to fix this problem? TY
I feel like my cofee is not hot enough. I am using the highest temperature setting but still...not sure what's the problem. After making a cofee it gets cold in a matter of seconds or maybe it's the cup I am using ... Such a let down...
Hi.. Just bought Dedica EC785. After using frother, the espresso button will blip and not functioning. I have to turn off and on power button to use for another shot. What the prob with my machine?
Hi! Like with most espresso machines, you have to cool down the boiler. After steaming, go back to coffee mode by short pressing one of the coffee buttons, and then flip the steam/water lever on, to release the steam and hot water until the machine has cooled down. 👍🏻
Hey Girl, can you measure the temp coming out, with a thermometer like this? I measure 89 degrees celsius coming out on my Dedica, which is the same as my Gaggia and La Spaziale. www.amazon.de/-/en/Kitchen-Thermometer-Preserving-Bottles-Household/dp/B09MK7X84B
Haha, no I doubt it. That's 1 every four minutes - the machine I am sure was not designed for that frequency of use. Maybe think of a dual boiler to improve workflow?
High temp, but hardness depends on your water. I use level 3 for hardness, since we have such hard water. It's just to remind you to descale more frequently.
Heelo good morning i bought model e885 like you explained in the video about temp .is it true ive seen some videos that if you get light roast you need lower temp ??but if you get med roast to dark roast hight temp is ideal ??so i need your honest opinion about this but many thanks your videos are very helpful thanks again
Hi if you have half a brain you will figure it out I am 83 years and had the same problem and I managed it , if you don't like your crap as you call it just take it back😒

Best and shortest explanation ever!
Thank you so much❣️
thanks a lot. I thought it was something wrong with my machine because my espresso was not so hot with the default settings. now it is hot enough :)
Great to hear, Asli! You can also warm up your cup with an empty pull. That will keep your espresso warmer, longer.
Very good vid, so in summary:
For Settings Menu Press and Hold Steam Button for 10 Seconds:-
===============
Button 1 - Temperature (low / med / high)
Button 2 - Water Hardness (soft / med / hard)
Button 3 - Stand By (9m / 30m / 3h)
Steam Dial + Button 1 - Reset
Steam Dial + Button 2 - no function?
Steam Dial + Button 3 - Descale
Normal Functions
===============
Press and Hold Button 1 to set water amount delivered on Single Cup
Press and Hold Button 2 to set water amount delivered on Double Cup
Press Button 3 for Steam
Yes Expedition, that is a good summary. Thanks for watching! -T
Would you please let me know how much I set for a single cup and double cup. Thank you so much

Hey Tom, thanks for all the Dedica videos! It seems that you are using KG 79/89 grinder. If so, could you please let me know which grind size you usually user on it?
Well, I modified the grinder to grind finder. I would suggest grinding fine enough to get a 2 to 1 ratio in 20 to 25 seconds.
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the visit!

Hi Tom, love your videos on this machine. I use bottled Breta filtered water, what should my water hardness be set to?
I'd say soft in that case, as long as you're changing the filter regularly.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner that was my guess, thank you. 👍🏼

That temperature is just for the espresso, not the steam. It just takes practice. Check out Emilee Bryant or Lance Hedrick for more tips.
Thank you so much. U saved me:)))
Glad to hear that!
perfect,thaks
Why my steam wand always popout while steaming
Put a zip tie on it! :)
Thanks Tom for the great videos. What is the default temperature setting?
Good question, Jeff. I’m not sure. I was thinking of measuring with a temperature probe when I get a chance.
Hi, @@TomsCoffeeCorner any news?
What if the first two buttons are flickering at the same time
Hmm, could it be that the machine is still hot from steaming, and needs to cool down? Otherwise, try unplugging the machine, and plugging it back in. Or, factory reset perhaps. Cheers!
Is ther a way to control steam intensity as well for milk frothing ? Thanks
Hey Mitul, no there is no adjustment for the steam pressure. Thanks for watching!
Hi sir, why the machine after used the 1st and 2nd always blinking ?
Hi there! The 2 lights blink generally after steam mode, to indicate that the machine is too hot to extract espresso.
Just wondering why the water doesn't flow through during the first use?
Ah, good question! Try opening the steam wand with the machine on, to let air through the lines. That should help!
What is the temperature at low, medium and high?
Hey Moaiyd, I plan to release a video in the future, where I measure the temps at the group head. Stay tuned!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks. And waiting for your video.
how do i insert the water filter in the tank? does it click in or just sort of sit there?
It is inserted in the bottom, and the top is held on by a kind of clip.
Hi Tom, i have a question: my delonghi dedica doesn’t stop the water function when i make an espresso. Normal lt the machine stop in the 25-30 sec but i have te o push the cup button yo stop the extraction.
Do you know how to fix this problem?
TY
Hi Giovanni, you can reprogram the amount by pressing and holding the button in on your next extraction. That will be your new volume amount. Cheers!
I feel like my cofee is not hot enough. I am using the highest temperature setting but still...not sure what's the problem. After making a cofee it gets cold in a matter of seconds or maybe it's the cup I am using ... Such a let down...

Hi Tom, what temperature do you usually use ? Medium or high?
Hey Rafiz, I use the high temp. 😉
I've put my delonghi to a hot setup for the coffee, but somehow it it still not hot at all. Did this happen to you before?
Hey Girl, can you measure the temp coming out, with a thermometer like this? I measure 89 degrees celsius coming out on my Dedica, which is the same as my Gaggia and La Spaziale.

Hi after I set sup it did not turn on, I don't know what is the prob
Hey Glenn, did you try turning it on and off? Maybe it got stuck in a software loop.
Can we make cold coffee with this machine?
What do you mean? You could do an espresso extraction over ice, if you wanted. Or what I like to do is make an affogato.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner i want clod espresso from espresso maker... Btw which espresso machine is best for coffee brewing?
Hello, one question, will it be used to make 15 cappuccinos in one hour for 7 consecutive hours?
Haha, no I doubt it. That's 1 every four minutes - the machine I am sure was not designed for that frequency of use. Maybe think of a dual boiler to improve workflow?
i hope not only f you? 😳
what temp and hardness would you recommend for EC885?
High temp, but hardness depends on your water. I use level 3 for hardness, since we have such hard water. It's just to remind you to descale more frequently.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thank you!! Will try on it 🤣

Actually, conventional wisdom has said that the lighter the roast, the higher the brew temp. I would set the temp to high on the Dedica. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner so you think it will not taste bitter ? if you set up to high temp ??thanks again
Cause im trying to get med roast on high temp hope dont taste bitter because of high temp
I think it will be fine with high temp. It’s what I use…this machine doesn’t get super hot anyway.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you is your bean super fine or coarse and which brand youre using ?? Mine i just have 2 options starbucks or LA vazza ??

Did you descale? Or is there a different problem? The lights flash by the way if the thermoblock is too hot, like after steaming.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner it’s an Airbnb place, no descaling solution, will probably contact the host.
