Hi Daniela, The grinder is a GEFU Lorenzo. I bought it in a local store in the Netherlands. (It's not the best grinder for espresso because it has large grind steps, but it will do the job)

Hey, newbie question (just thinking about getting our first machine) : Why would you pour the steamed milk from one kettle to the other one and not directly to the cup ?
Hello! I’ve a delonghi dédica ec685 for a couple of months now. However, I am always in trouble to take a coffee right. If fill the compartment with grounded coffee using the right measure (that is available with the machine), then a press the coffee just a bit with the right tool. However, the machine doesn’t take any coffee. I need to use less coffee than the right measure to take a coffee. Does this happen to you guys? Any suggestions of what is happening? Thank you
Hi Zoran, If you use a open basket and a good grinder you can get a good espresso with nice crema. The consistantcy is not that good as from a professional machine.
Thanks for the video! That coffee surely looks amazing. How difficult difficult is to replace the steam wand? How much better is than the original (I am not very fond of it)
Your welcome! Repacing the steam wand is a bid technical but not that hard to do. There are good step by step video's on youtube on how to do the modification (search for 'delonghi steam wand modification'). The new wand gives more focused steam. I also can get good results with the original "little black rubber wand", but the replacement is much better. (The wand is a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand, you can find it on ebay)
If using the original wand steam wand, how to make a perfect foam ? I normally use 100 ml fresh milk and follow many instructions but the foam doesn't look like yours.
If you have the original wand. You can get good results with the "little black wand". I got the best results when placing the tip of the little black wand just on the surface.
Hello. I also have a Dedica, fairly new with the Silvia wand. My machine doesn't texture very good and it produces wet steam, even afer purging the condensation water it adds about 18 ml of water into 150 - 180 ml milk steamed. Any help or thoughts? Thank you
My Dedica also gives some condens while steaming, but not that much I think (every few seconds or so I see condens when the block is heating up). The Silvia wand takes longer practice. It took me a few weeks to master it. The "trick" for me was to place the tip just on the surface of the milk in an angle that makes the milk spin.
Very nice vid. But for my machine, its real quick for cool down blinking started after I purge out some water from the wand. So I need to purge again n reselect the steam option. Could you help?
Sounds like there is maybe something wrong with you machine. On my DeLonghi I do experience inconsistency in steam pressure and temperature when steaming. When that happens I just keep on steaming and the pressure recovers afther a couple of seconds. If steam option stops out of its own, then maybe it's good to check your machine.

I'm not sure what Im doing wrong - how do you increase extraction time?

Hooi! Ik heb ook een delonghi piston thuis een eci 341. De koffie is echter altijd bitter. Ik doe altijd 1 schepje koffie en stamp deze zachtjes aan en laat hem dan doorlopen met een eindresultaat van 30ml koffie voor mijn cappuccino. Ik krijg die bitterheid alleen niet weg. Tips? :)
Hi Nicky, je kan proberen om wat meer koffie te gebruiken en/of het aantal ml te verkleinen tot bijvoorbeeld 18-20ml. (Meer/langer contact = meer bitterheid) Mocht dit niet voor je werken kun je ook kijken voor een andere koffie. Denk aan een 100% arabica koffie. (In supermarkt koffies zit vaak ook Robusta wat bitterder is dan Arabica koffie)

cool video, thank you. I have one question about coffee extraction - when it was choking like in the video I thought it is wrong, I thought coffee should extract rather fluently. Am I wrong or this is actually correct, please? I'm newbie :) thanks
The "choking" was my mistake. Normaly I use the two cup button and stop the extraction on 25 grams of coffee. In this video I accidentaly used the single cup button, which resulted in to litte coffee therefore I pressed it twich (this is the choking part). The extraction in this video is far from ideale. The hand grinder I used grinds to fine or to course. Best to aim for 20-25 grams output in 25-30sec.
Hello, I just bought this coffee Delonghi 685 and it very hard to slot in the filter holder and throwing away the excess coffee does anyone has any tips?
Hello Dev, I have the same. Sometimes I hold the machine when putting in the filter holder (check if you don't use to much coffee in the filter). I clean my filter under the water tap.
@@dutchhomebarista Thank you for your reply, I realised there's a line (correct me if I'm wrong) in the filter basket. So I would just follow the line and now the portafilter is easy to slot in
You should definitely get a non pressurised portafilter basket you get professional grade espresso i have the dedica and i converted it to non pressurised and its so much better also it would be a perfect match with the rancilio silvia steam wand

It can be a lot of things. If the extraction time is less than 25 sec, grind a step finer. It that is oké it can be the coffee. It it's also not the coffee it can be that the pressure is to low. In that case contact your supplier.
Dimensions of the EC680 model in inches is 6.75 x 13 x 13.0 and for EC685 Deluxe model 5.9 x 12 x 12 inches. ... Other notable difference between these two is that new and improved Deluxe version has an increased maximum cup height - on older version maximum cup height was 3 inches.

Great capuccino! Do you have a link to buy the capuccinatore spear?
You can find it on Amazon and ebay. Search for "rancilio silvia V1/V2 steam wand".
@@dutchhomebarista Thanks
Hooi! Ik heb ook een delonghi piston thuis een eci 341. De koffie is echter altijd bitter. Ik doe altijd 1 schepje koffie en stamp deze zachtjes aan en laat hem dan doorlopen met een eindresultaat van 30ml koffie voor mijn cappuccino. Ik krijg die bitterheid alleen niet weg. Tips? :)
Hi Nicky, je kan proberen om wat meer koffie te gebruiken en/of het aantal ml te verkleinen tot bijvoorbeeld 18-20ml. (Meer/langer contact = meer bitterheid) Mocht dit niet voor je werken kun je ook kijken voor een andere koffie. Denk aan een 100% arabica koffie. (In supermarkt koffies zit vaak ook Robusta wat bitterder is dan Arabica koffie)
hi, could you a video on how you changed the wand?
Hi Antonia, there is already is a good video on how to the modification. See ruclips.net/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/видео.html
Hello, i have a little question: i have search this machnie on the net but the buse has different and more big... I would like this machine with the same buse, where are you buy this model please ? (sorry for my english... ^^')
I changed the steam wand by a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand. On youtube there are video's on how to do the modification. It's a bit technical but not hard to do.
@@dutchhomebarista
OK ! It's not a "buse" but "steam wand" ! 😄 Thank you very much for your advice !
hello, but which temperature settings you prefer low, middle or high
Depending on the roast of the beans. With dark beans I use the standard (middle) setting.
How can i adjust or chose which Temperature i want on this Maschine?
@@tonimijac9024 Hi Toni, je can change the temperature in the setting menu. See this video of Delonghi:

@@dutchhomebarista great,thanks for your help
Thanks for the video.nicely done. I am planning to buy my first expresso machine and Would like to know which one would you recommend with a 200 euros budget. Thought of this delonghi you are using or a Gaggia or Wmf lumero. Any good tips and advice would be very welcome.thank you
Sorry for the late reply. Below €200 I have only experience with the Delonghi. Below €200 I would buy it again;-)
@@dutchhomebarista thank you very much.just bought it and likely will end up doing the wand upgrade you did at some point :) thanks again!
Perfect👍
Thanks
I would 100% recommend picking up a bottomless portafilter and a proper basket for this machine as it seems like you’re using the pressurised basket you won’t get great results with that
Thank you for the feedback. I now have one. Indeed much better:-)
@@dutchhomebarista where did you buy it, i tried contact de longi sellers in Croatia they said it is not possible to buy it for this machine😥. And also how did you change the steam wand and how can i buy it? Thanks
@@marijauric5860 I bought the machine in a local shop in the Netherlands. I changed the steam wand by a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand (bought it at ebay)
@@dutchhomebarista in the meantime i saw how to change steam wand, but it s too complicated for me😥. Thanks for answer
how come you have a different steam nozzle than they sell in the original
I changed it by a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 steam wand.
Nice video. How's the grinder (Lorenzo GEFU) been holding up? Still working fine? Thinking of ordering it myself.
Hi Davis, the Lorenzo is a "oke" grinder if you use the pressurized basket. For a open basket it's not so good, the grind steps are to big.
@Dutch Home Barista can't you adjust the dosage for finer control?
hi, where can I find steam wand like this, I would like to change it.
I bought is on ebay. Search for "Rancilio Silvia V1/V2".
Prachtig gedaan! Ik heb voor mijn verjaardag deze machine gekregen! Maar ik zou ook heel graag hetzelfde stoompijpje erop willen hebben als die van jou. Ik zag in de comments al staat dat je had geschreven dat het de Rancilio Silvia is. Is het een beetje te doen om die stoompijp erop te monteren? Zou je kunnen delen hoe je dat geleerd hebt? Thanks!
Hallo Samuel, als je een beetje technisch bent is het goed om te doen. Hieronder een link naar hoe je de modificatie kan doen. Het is wel even wennen, neem dat voor lief en geniet van het proces;-) ruclips.net/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/видео.html
Where did u buy the steam wand i want it too
Hi Adit, It's a Rancilio silvia V1/V2 steam wand. You can find it on ebay or amazon. On youtube you van find video's on how to do the modification.
cool video, thank you. I have one question about coffee extraction - when it was choking like in the video I thought it is wrong, I thought coffee should extract rather fluently. Am I wrong or this is actually correct, please? I'm newbie :) thanks
The "choking" was my mistake. Normaly I use the two cup button and stop the extraction on 25 grams of coffee. In this video I accidentaly used the single cup button, which resulted in to litte coffee therefore I pressed it twich (this is the choking part). The extraction in this video is far from ideale. The hand grinder I used grinds to fine or to course. Best to aim for 20-25 grams output in 25-30sec.
Do you use classic milk (high fat?) or cooking cream?
Thank You
Hi David, I use whole (high fat) milk.
I wonder how do you clean inside of the coffee machine please?
I use a dedicated liquid to flush the machine.
Hello, I just bought this coffee Delonghi 685 and it very hard to slot in the filter holder and throwing away the excess coffee does anyone has any tips?
Hello Dev, I have the same. Sometimes I hold the machine when putting in the filter holder (check if you don't use to much coffee in the filter). I clean my filter under the water tap.
@@dutchhomebarista Thank you for your reply, I realised there's a line (correct me if I'm wrong) in the filter basket. So I would just follow the line and now the portafilter is easy to slot in
@@devpatel4556 yes thats correct
@@dutchhomebarista Why is my espresso machine flowing too fast?
@@devpatel4556 Hi Dev, it can be more the one reason, but most of the times it is becaus the grid is to caurse. Try to grind you coffy finer.
Why did you steam a separate jug? Just to clean it?
Transfering the milk makes the milk more smooth. And the second jug is bigger, which makes pouring easier.
The turn on My filter seems to be very stiff, any ideas why? It’s bran new
Hi Dominic, I have no idea. If you doubt you can go back with the machine.
Same issue here. Just got mine today and I feel I might break the machine trying to fix the portafilter
@@jotarokujo-xn2xx mine loosened up over time!
I love this
You should definitely get a non pressurised portafilter basket you get professional grade espresso i have the dedica and i converted it to non pressurised and its so much better also it would be a perfect match with the rancilio silvia steam wand
I know. I recently bought one. Much better indeed!
@@Leonel_NGUYEN sage 51mm and graef 51mm Baskets work well

Hi Amin, I bought my wand on ebay. (Search for "Rancilio Silvia V1/V2")
@@dutchhomebarista thanks dude! Was it easy to install?
You need to be a little technical but it's not hard to do. It took me about 30 minutes to do. I used this video as a guide: ruclips.net/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/видео.html
I'm learning,
Good to hear!
@@dutchhomebarista yes, thanks
It’s easy to replace the streamer?
It's a bit technical but not hard to do. It took me about 30 minutes or so. There are good video's on youtube on how to do the modification.
Misschien een stomme vraag maar waarom giet je de melk over in een 2e kannetje ? En zou je dit apparaat aanraden voor een beginneling ?
Hi Rachelle, het overgieten maakt de melk "soepeler" en homogener. Het is een goede eerste piston machine.
Bedankt voor je snelle reactie. Ik zag ook dat je het stoompijpje had vervangen. Gelukkig heb ik een handige man 😀
@@rachellevanemmerik5946 het stoompijpje heb ik gekocht op ebay. Het is een 'Rancilio Silvia V1/V2' stoompijpje. Op RUclips staan video's over de ombouw. Veel succes!
Why does mine turn out watery and has no crema
It can be a lot of things. If the extraction time is less than 25 sec, grind a step finer. It that is oké it can be the coffee. It it's also not the coffee it can be that the pressure is to low. In that case contact your supplier.
What size are your tamper for this machine?
51 mm (bought it on AliExpress)
@@dutchhomebarista Thank you!
What different between EC680M and EC685M? Thank you
Dimensions of the EC680 model in inches is 6.75 x 13 x 13.0 and for EC685 Deluxe model 5.9 x 12 x 12 inches. ... Other notable difference between these two is that new and improved Deluxe version has an increased maximum cup height - on older version maximum cup height was 3 inches.
@@dutchhomebarista I have the Ec385b I was thinking of modifying the wand like yours but some people say when doing this to the 385 u need to by new clips as opposed to the 380 any suggestions as I don't no what clips to buy and don't want to take it apart before having the replacement clips at hand?
@@johnmurphy2655 I think you meen that you have a EC385. I also have a EC385 and did not have to change any clips. In the link below a youtube tutorial on how to do the modification. Mabey you can see or you have to change any clips. ruclips.net/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/видео.html
@@dutchhomebarista thank you for the reply, that was the exact video I watched and I seen a few comments dating the EC385 isn't as easy to modify as the EC380 as you have to get some additional clips?
@@johnmurphy2655 I had no probleem to change the wand on my EC685.
I have dilemma about buy this one but not that cheap how i hoped for 150€ or lidl coffee machine for 80€ with look retro but same time how i heard great creamy coffee but idk i look for coffee makers around 70-140€ but all looked great even for 69€ from Beko brand but still all had some problems even de longhi for 100-115€ hqd some problems from reviews so thats why i hesitate with to buy how my first coffee machine
It's hard to find a good coffee machine below €150. The delonghi is oke, if you use a openbasket and a good ginder.
@@dutchhomebaristaon end just bough it and right now reading manual to try it , excited how small kid on christmas haha
@@dutchhomebarista just finished. Coffee wasnt bitter what was amazing , sadly i was terrible with making milk there 😂 and didnt had grinder for coffee yet so i needed use pre grounded coffee with wasnt good so for sure if i will change coffee it will be amaizng , tanks for helping me in choosing
@@redeye8386 good to hear. It's a fine machine. Steaming good milk foam takes some time to lear. With practice you get there!!
