    Thanks for this, I'm in France, I changed from the ECO setting - strangely nothing about it in the instruction leaflet that came with it, but went on line and found the rest of the instructions. I found the ECO setting meant it was switching off after 15 minutes, also that the coffee wasn't hot enough. so changed both. I set the strength to maximum and grind to 3. I live in a soft water area, and filter my drinking water. So, again changed the setting on this because it was asking me to descale it every two weeks. As you say it's a really good machine for the price. Very pleased with my purchase.

    Great machine, as below take it off ECO mode to get hotter coffee. Adjusting the PH level and temperature of the water is the first thing you should do. Adjusting front dial and black dial where the beans are until you are happy with the taste. Note it takes a cup or 2 before the bean adjustments take effect. Personally I prefer to use a separate milk frother to warm my milk to the temperature i like. Finally the DeLonghi RUclips channel has lot's of videos on how to change the settings and descale.

      Ace, thank you! It's odd that it seems to gain perfect pressure only when I've NOT descaled it. Risky but heck... tasty

      Totally. Once you figure it all out the coffee is much stronger

    Thanks for the upload, very informative. Is there a way to adjust the amount of beans that are used for a coffee as i like a strong coffee flavour and the wife prefers a weaker?

    Do you have to turn it off after every use...I usually just keep my Keurig and standard coffee maker on 24/7

    • @AlexSass
      @AlexSass  Год назад

      No you don't have to. The pod machines have very quick warm up and good standby but this machine you'll want to set it to go off after a few hours to conserve. You can decide the limit using the controls. I don't think one option is 247 though

      To be honest I think it would clog the brew unit. But no reason why you couldn't add it to milk and use the froth want. But no, not through the brew itself :(

    This is a great review. Thank you for doing it. Do you have any idea how much water it uses on the twice a day rinse? Im thinking I would use it 3 or 4 times a day and would turn it off between use so it might use lots of water on the self cleanse?

      Hey thanks for question. I've been experimenting with so many brands! And of course it totally depends on taste. For me, in my culture and personal preference, I like my espresso strong, rich, without acidity. My go-to for that has ended up being Kimbo, Espresso Prestige. The only one I've hated so far (sorrrrry!) is Ikea sold as Kaffe Hela Bonor here. And if I can afford it, Illy Classic 100% Arabica is a treat but at 10 Euro for a little tin, it's usually on my Christmas list!

      Be sure to have the setting hot, the grind small and beans good (dark is the way for me). But yes it's really good as espresso and not so much a filter coffee equiv. I just press double espresso. You can always press to add hot water. Yum yum yum

      look up Tyler Martin - how to make stronger coffee, I had the same issue, and now my coffee is so strong. Basically, you are pressing the expressos 1 or 2 cup for 5 seconds and something starts flashing, then you press it again and it sets that strength. It is also mentioned in the instruction booklet, but you would miss it if you didn't know what you were looking for.

    1 - DO NOT USE MINERAL WATER. Mineral water is hard. If you've got mineralisation all over the outside of the machine, imagine the limescale buildup on the boiler and pipes.
    2 - That blinking red light in the middle is telling you that you are overdue to descale your machine. You need to both use soft water and descale regularly, or you're basically doing a speed run on how to destroy a $500 coffee machine.
