![How to perfect shot espresso you Delonghi Dedica EC685 with Bottomless Portafilter [Brew Ratio 1:2]](/img/1.gif)
Good video. Background noise is unbearable.
It's not about the portafilter, it's about the basket
Is it possible to put only 10g of coffee on that botomless portafilter ?
You can, but I'm not sure if I can do it well.
@@ArtyHome 11g works pretty well
@@ts3024 are 11g enough for a single espresso around 30grs? Our friend use 14 with original and 18 with bottomless
Did you have any channeling when using a bottomless portafilter? If yes, how did you solve it?
Are you using pre-ground coffee? Never had it since I am using freshly ground coffee.
@@andrescyfy570 no I use fresh beans with my Eureka Mignon Facile grinder.
@@andrescyfy570 do you mind sharing the recipe you are using?
Well, after grinding it needs some distribution by tipping on the portafilters side. Then I gently knock the porta on a hard surface with the bottom to get it settled - 3 times. I think it doesn't need rough tamping. But give it a little twist in the end. If this procedure doesn't help, maybe it's your grinder setting or coffee itself. I'm using modded original portafilter with modded original sieve. Pulling out 33g coffee out of 13g powder.
@@andrescyfy570 Thank you, I will surely try this one. Since I bought my grinder I only get a little channeling on the sides in about 15 secs then disappears. I will try to tip it because I have not tried it yet. Thank you
Why in the other clip u start timer when u press the button and in this clip u start timer when first drop hits the cup?
ทำไมอีกคลิปถึงเริ่มจับเวลาตอนกดปุ่มแล้วคลิปนี้เริ่มจับเวลาตอนที่น้ำหยดลงแก้วอะครับ?
Mesin grinder nya Merek apa
Everyone should know you can change the "volume" of the shot on this machine. Hold down the button for as long as you want the shot to be, and the machine will remember for next time. Remember to only start timing after the pre-infusion after the machine waits for a second.
The shot should pull for about 25-30 seconds. If you can't pull a good tasting shot in this time, change your grind.
Another tip for this machine is not to tamp too hard. Compress the coffee and then stop. No need to put all your strength into it.
Thank you very much.
Can I change the pre infusion time? With the instructions it is explained only how long the pouring will be
@@giuseppemengoli No you can’t
Hi your video is very useful but with a second coffee grinder SMEG CGF01 and 30 available position my results are not the best could you help me?
@@ArtyHome the coffee is coming out my bottomless portafilter too fast. Do I need to make a finer grind and tamp harder?
I think you have tamped it too hard in the normal portafilter so it gave drops not a continous flow
I don't want to alarm you, but it sounds like Darth Vader is breathing over your shoulder this whole time.
these wooden standings for portafilers are cool!!! where did you get them?
Amazon has em. So does ebay. Made in china only tho

I like the way you organised your desk and how you shooted the scene.
Bravo!
And ground too fine.
I don't know how people are fitting 18g into these baskets on the bottomless PF. I am struggling to get 16g.
Finer grind.. and some sorts of cofee are heavier..
@@saneksheva80 nice info my man, god bless
Are you sure you don’t just have a smaller basket? IMS do a range of sizes, I have the 15-18g but there was a smaller and a bigger basket available as well
@@owenedgson7302 I've just paused the video where he turns the PF on it's side and you may be right. There are no markings on the my basket but the depth is 24mm.
I've got trouble with the stock pressurised portafilter: if I grind finer, it often gets totally stuck (blocked, with no flow). It happens more often on the smaller (8 gram) one. The problem is the coffee is definitely NOT too fine for espresso. I am so fed up with it that I ordered the bottomless non-pressurised portafilter to try doing things the right way.
I don't like using a single basket, I use a double and bottomless, it's easier and the coffee tastes better.
The coffee tastes better with a double dose? Obviously not an Italian.
I think that's just how pressurised baskets work. You need to grind coarser because the basket gives a lot of extra pressure.
Are you tamping too hard or have you forgotten to insert the metal filter with the rubber surround into the basket? i heard that tamping is not needed with pressurised portafilters. Mine does block sometimes if the one hole in the basket gets blocked or if i forget to insert the metal filter.
You sould grind the coffee with medium to fine size, if using pressurised portafilter..
The grind size must be changed for the pressurised one and I couldn’t see any difference between them
On the other hand you tamped it soooo hard and this will make the extraction time consuming and moreover it will taste like crap!not espresso
Agreed. The grind was too fine for the pressurized filter and created too much resistance and channeling for good extraction.
About the portafilter: A bottomless portafilter and a "normal" one should have no difference regarding the way they work. The difference is at the Delonghi default basket. Delonghi uses by default a pressurized basket that is very good to make a so-so coffe from any bean and grind so to make anyone feel a little like a barista at home. But it's definetely not good if u go for a higher quality taste with a budget machine. For this you need if you can't affort a more expensive machine then you go for the most basic upgrades: Normal basket and freshly grinded, thoroughly weighted coffe (the better quality the better the result). If u get the bottomless portafilter it will help you become better at espresso making by giving you access to watch the extraction. Nothing more. So: Non pressurized portafilter and a tamper that fits it. Scales. Quality coffe beans and grinder or freshly grinded coffe. A tip: Avoid re-freezing coffe beans. If you insist of keeping your beans in the freezer then devide them in portions and get out of the freezer what you need a night before.
What better machine would you recommend instead of this one?
@@mateuszparus I wouldn't dare suggesting a specific one. But it will be very easy for you to find the best canditates that your pocket can buy if you spend some time in youtube or other online searching. All i know is that you should basicaly aim for a "premium" type of machine as a top goal but you can always stop aiming higher if you find the one that suits your taste. Because while an espresso can be made easily, for a good or a very good extraction you will definetely need a good or a very good machine on which you will have to spend some worthy time to find the ratios to produce a result to your liking and the same time create some of your your own solid knowledge. Coz there is no sealing really. There are people with shareable knowledge about espresso making and latte art and the same time they test different machines. Worth to chcek if you decided to brew your own coffe.
How about a good grinder ??
@@aligossas9431 Yes! But a good grinder is also an expensive grinder. I use "Porlex Tall" a hand grinder that suits my budget for a quality ceramic blade grinder. That also dictates how mutch to count as a portion when i seperate the bag into smaller ones. I grind a batch for myself and keep it in a small glass container. It will last for 4,5 single shoots for sure. My wife does the same for her coffe. The cleaning is easy and we can experiment a bit with the grind size.
@@mateuszparus I think a Lelit Anna with the PID and a Eureka Mignon is a good start. If money is tight, then spend it on the grinder first and upgrade the machine several years down the line. They may seem like a lot, but think of it this way: 3 Euros (or however it is at your local coffee shop) for coffee every day adds up very fast when you start making your own coffee at home. We usually do three cappuccini and three doppio espressi per day. That's easily 30 € at a local coffee. Shop. The grinder and espresso machine pays for itself in under a year.
Completely over extracted the second shot. Probably ground too fine or it's over tamped. I have this machine, and the shots from the stock portafilter are far better than displayed in this video.
in my experience the shots from stock portafilter are very mediocre. the rubber seal is elevated at one point for easier removal and that makes it really hard to achieve proper tamp. when I purchased bottomless portafilter my coffee became much better
@@gordanbabic8028 I agree with you. The rubber seal of single-shot cup is even seen when you tamp. It breaks the flatness of the coffee surface.
That is why I always use double-shot cup of stock portafilter.
@@MEKaradeniz then you should use more coffee
@@WestDutchBoys yes but then the amount of coffee is more than half of double shot
@@MEKaradeniz sorry I misread, you’re also using the double shot cup for this reason. I switched to the double cup immediately. I don’t even know better. Had the same problem indeed
why there is flushin sound every 3 seconds
What the heck is that noise?
Why did you use 14g (ratio 1: 2.4) for the normal portafilter and 18g (ratio 1: 1.9) for the bottomless one and not the same coffee quantity with beans coarser/finer? Thank you for share the video.
Normal portafilter can not hold much coffee. I have also found 14g is about the maximum. 15g or more and the puck may touch the spout on the group head.
But I agree would be interested to see 14g from the bottomless filter.
I have blocking issue with the pressurized basket when the grind is finer, have you had the same issue?
Yes, I have a similar problem, you have to gradually adjust the fineness of the grinder.
Just happened this morning
oh I see !!
@@ArtyHome is the purchased grind size in bag from say lavazza too thick?
soo..WHICH TASTES BETTER? IN WHAT ASPECT DOES IT TASTE DIFFERENT?
Where did you get the bottomless portafiler from? Is there a link to share?
Search for "dedica bottomless" on Aliexpress. They have a lot of different finishes shipping all over the world.
also on Ebay and amazon, but all look to be coming from the same few suppliers from China
@@adameichler i bought one from aliexpres, but it is splashing, coffee is flowing to the handle. i do not know what am I doing wrong.
@@kastierV the basket must have a bit of a lip around the edge to seal properly. Some of the cheap ones don't. Maybe you might bend the edges slightly with pliers.
Do you change the grind size for the bottomless one?
Why all those ocmpanies doesnt make it from the factory bottomless?
I don't see any difference. Somebody explain to me, please, what is the difference?
0:31 what's the GRIND SIZE?
6' 30" to make one expresso coffee??? This is not express this is very slow...
Any reason why you used the single shot button rather than the double shot one?
seriously wtf is going on in the background. i cant bear it
I use the stock 685 portafilter with an old stock calssic (double)basket from Delonghi bar14. It fits, locks and pour pours just fine. It had outlived the old machine, and I'm glad that I kept it "just in case". I'm going to remove the plastic thingy from the holder, it does not do any good for a non-pressure basket anyway, but I'd love to seal the screw hole somehow. Even "as is", I prefer it over the original pressurized basket. Might get a botomless portafilter, eventually.
I've been thinking about that screw as well. Some kind of a nut is needed, but I might be too lazy to go find the right one lol.
18g for 1 coffe? Is not to much?
Nice vid, congrats! What is the purpose of the piece with black rubber in the original portafilter?
its a filter. the original portafilter is a pressurised one, so it has a small hole that it uses to generate crema for the espresso, the black ring is a filter that's removable so that the small hole doesnt get blocked by the coffee grinds
А мы на алиэкспресс всякую хню покупаем
I would like to ask you about the De'Longhi Dedica Espresso Machine EC885. I want to buy it with a professional bottomless, non-pressurized portafilter. Is it effective to use this portafilter with the machine? I've heard that this type of small coffee maker has a higher water pressure, around 15 bars or more, which may not be suitable with a professional bottomless, non-pressurized portafilter.
Also, What degree of grind did you use for the coffee?
Can you please tell me which filter your using on the bottomless portafilter and where did you purchased it from. I'm on my second filter and I can't and I still can't find the right filter to work. Thanks
Are you grinding the grains fine enough?
This doesn't make sense at all, you are practically using 3 doses to make 1 coffee!!!!! I would like to see a video with this bottomless portafilter and a 1 CUP FILTER (7 grams )but no one made it... Is it normal to drink 3 Espresso coffees in one in thailand?
Hi. Very new to coffee here, and just purchased the bottomless portafilter. Would any of you know what’s a good grind size using the Breville grinder?
Hi what coffee beans are you using?
Medium roast coffee beans.
Wanted to try and enjoy this video but the constant sound of a toilet flushing all through the video drove me mad, sorry lol
I find my coffee not good yet. Hope if i buy new temper not original plastic one it will be better. I wanted buy bottomless filter too but it cost much and that filter + temper and i could buy for that money even automatic coffee maker. I find it cool my delonghi ec685 but didnt knew if i want good coffee i need buy those 2 parts for 60€ :( buy temper will be ok but not that filter . If temper will be enough to make coffee taste better it will be amazing. (Well i only have him 2md day now so maybe i am just not good enought with it yet )
You said 18g out 34g 25sec. This 25sec count from when u press the button? or when the espresso comes out?
You can clearly see from the video that scale timer starts when coffee starts to drip
Is the video beautiful - right? Although why create it with constant squelching in the background?
I don't understand why you need to boil 34g of espresso from 14g of coffee - this is also an over-extract - only bitterness. Plus, in 34 seconds - it's a wild over-extract. We do not yet take into account the fact that your timer starts when the first drops enter the cup. In fact, the first drops fall into the cup at ~ 5th second, and due to the pre-wetting mode of the Delonghi ec685 coffee maker, the first drops fall into the cup at all at 8-9 seconds.
How do you drink this bitterness.
And why are you knocking on the portafilter? This creates cracks in the condensed coffee. And why are you screwing the tempera? You just need to squeeze.
At 2:50 when the initial pour starts for me, it’s dark and clear and then a couple seconds later gets foamier. Why is this? Old beans?
What basket size are you using? My bottom of the basket doesn’t reach till the end of the portafilter.
Hy guys i want to make line group, for barista tk share their experiances to each and other..if you agree please coment
What the heck is the background sound? Is someone running the dishwasher?
I'm sorry, it's the sound of a pump making waves in my aquarium.
Hi Arty, very nice video! The link for the portafilter on Amazon is not working anymore. Do you have any portafilter to recommend for a Dedica?
I bought one which is supposed to fit on a Dedica (according to the seller) but it turns out slightly loose and the portafilter came off mid brewing and created a big mess! So now I have to hold on to it whenever I start brewing.
Same question. Did you find one that works for you? Thanks
have you done anything to the machine's water pressure? for me, in 18gr out 36gr takes 12 seconds.. for me it seems the dedica takes time rather the water volume when you configure the two brewing buttons.
is your grind size fine enough? or is your tamping pressure heavy enough? you should try and check those two variables
@@whoami724y i'm guessing the grind size is the issue. i use a cheap blade grinder at the moment. tamping pressure should be okay. i was very surprised to see that 18-36 could be achieved for more than 20 seconds as I thought it's impossible with the Dedica due to the water pressure. but, i'm getting a proper grinder soon and will check.
@@heliu5 well there's your problem, blade grinder is a no no for espresso. you should get baratza sette, i hear its good for espresso
@@heliu5 the grinder will definitely be the issue. i just bought the Sage Dose Control Pro and i'm very impressed by what it delivers at this price point
@@lionelpeer4097 100% support that. Great value for the money.
do you think that graef cm702 good for this new portafilter?
I have never used this grinder. I don't know if grinding is fine enough.

I've Dedica and this same graef you are talking about and it works perfectly enough at 10 of 30 steps. Graef give you 3 spring washer to modify fineness if it isn't enough. I'm using it without modification.
Nice channel! Brand new coffee drinker here:) Got the EC685 yesterday, I am loving it.

Hello, in the video do you use the single shot basket for the original portafilter or the double shot basket? Thanks
double shot basket.
@@ArtyHome Thanks
I bought the portafilter you recommended but recently I’ve been having trouble with fine streams of splatters coming out of the portafilter. Have you experienced this so far? If so, what did you do to remedy this?
one of the "feature" of bottomless portafilter. I sick with my normal, stock one
Distribute your coffee grounds on the basket and portafilter before tamping it, make sure it’s not off level. After that, if it still occurs, your grinder may not grinding properly and evenly.
Check your grind
Давить темпером нужно один раз, если несколько, то возможен перекос и таблетка треснет.
That flushing noise though
Sorry, it's caused by the sound of the pump making waves. my fish tank.
it's disgusting and unprofessional
I use delonghi KG521 grinder. what is degree shall I use, please? Can you tell me?
Just can't get any crema out of it. Most of the time water doesn't even pass through the filter, don't matter if I use the original or the non presurized. Been practicing for weeks, still don't get satisfactory results.
I think the machine doesn't have enough power to get the water through the coffee in the filter.
thanks for the video. please advice how do you manage to get normal extraction time with open portafilter on Dedica AND THE SAME GRIND SIZE as on pressurezed?
nomatter how I tried I always have one of the two situations with Dedica and open portafilter:
- if the grind is the same as for the pressurized - the extraction is very quick and the result is bad
around 3,8 on 1zpresso k-max
- if the grind is small enough to get visually good and slow extraction - 2,4 - the taste is that much bitter that it gets absolutely undrinkable
can you please tell me what type of tamper 51mm r you using for the non presurized basket because a buy one from ebay and its not fit very well, my non presurized basket is from ebay
So what is the verdict??
Switched to a bottomless filter and getting no cream at all, my grinder is the Dedica KG520...
Delonghi dedica kg520 can't grind coffee beans as finely enough to be used with bottomless.
Arty Home what about the KG49? Is the finest setting fine enough?
@@animalloverwashere kg 79 is the best, can grind almost like flour. too bad it does not deliver directly in the portafilter.
the 2 portafilters you suggest are no longer available, can you send some links to some that are please? and can you tell me if the original baskets can still be used in these? thanks from downunder
I sawed off the bottom of the original portafilter, pretty easy and you still have the original fit. Don't use the original baskets if you go bottomless. The original baskets are pressurized baskets with one single hole on the outside - this counters the only use of a bottomless portafilter, you still can't see the extraction going on. Most people buy Graef baskets that are good quality and fit the original holder.
What temperature is best ? Low , medium or high temperature? Thanks for reply
High. It's also interesting that the device can't provide stable high temperature during the extraction process, there is a video about it on YT.
What's that sound? Wet farts?
Darth Vader 🥰
hi, Unfortunately the bottomless portafilter is current unavailable in amazon, do you have another links for this product?..thank you
hello there..that portafilter can get 18gram???
the normal portafilter looks like a face crying out coffee
i think the original porta filters r a bad joke
So if i want to sell coffee, i just add 14g.still get the same weight result just taking bit longer
So, what is the underlying reason for the difference?
which brand of ground coffee is best suited to the dedication of delonghi?
There's no easy answer here apart from the coffee you like to drink
Hi there,
I have just bought a Dedica EC685 and I am trying to understand better how the coffee world works.
I bought the dosing cup you advised but it cannot fit the standard portafilter so It's difficult for me put into it ground coffee.
Do you have any advise?
You need to make sure its suitable for your machine.. use 51mm
Tell the person who is flushing the toilet throughout this video to stop. The noise is really distracting.
I'm sorry, it's the sound of the pump making waves in my aquarium.

Is your tamper 51mm used to your portafilter bottom less? Mine also 51mm but only fit the half button of my tamper. Can you share where you bought your bottomless portafilter ?
I also encountered the same issue. I used 18g in my Neouza Bottomless portafilter but It felt like my tamping is not enough since it can only fit half. Any suggestions like increasing the dose? Or using othertools?
Thanks!
We can clearly see a difference 👍
He used the same grind for both filters. Pressurized filters are used for pre ground coffee which is typically less fine. The second shot was over extracted.
I have a Delonghi stilosa and I can’t get a shot to go longer than 11 seconds with pre ground coffee and the pressurized filter.
The ground coffee you are using is too coarse.
So, we know the mike works. You couldn't be bothered to comment?
Thank you very much.
About the timer: If we assume that you go for a ratio of 1:2+ and extraction time should be around 25-30 sec then you can say that both the portafilters done their job at 30sec. They doubled the amount you gave them. Eventho if u had Coarser coffe more suited for espresso you could take the same result in less time maybe on the ideal more most: 25''. Well done tho, you are so close!
Background music is to high.
You should not knock against the portafilter to avoid channeling.
Thank you very much. I won't do it again.
Any ideas for a good 3-4cup bottomless basket ( around 18gr )??? those from china have big holes and splatter everywhere .no crema at all . The original holds 14gr i need a bigger one , ty in advance
I bought the Neouza set from Amazon: 2 cups 16-19g, 1 cup (idk, 1 cup is too tricky), bottomless portafilter and the filter plate. Then from IMS, i bought the screen replacement (the one on the machine with the middle screw). I also got an Eureka Silenzio single dose mod grinder (single dose kit from Etsy), the lever steam knob (also from etsy) and the rancilio silvia v1/v2 steam wand replacement from Amazon.

@@antonia-kamillagaspar6170 I've bought mine which looks the same on Aliexpress.
What is your grinder?
Compak k3 touch.
Degree of perfect grinding ??
I can not identify. The fineness depends on the hardness of the ground coffee beans.
How do you get your crema to look so nice? I just got a non pressurised filter and my crema keeps coming out very light in colour which I understand is a sign of an underextracted shot. I don't have a grinder but I'm using coffee that was grinded in the roastery today. I've asked them to do a "standard" espresso grind for one bag and a slightly coarser one for another, but neither seem to come out nicely.
If you have a good grinder, it will be easier.
the under exctraction could also be because of the temperature not being right, which out of the box it isnt on this machine. Try this and see if it helps somewhat :
1. Set the temperature to High (instructions in the manual) 2. make 2 empty double shots. This ensures that the brewing temperature of the water is correct and prevents under extraction. I tested with a thermometer, and by default the temperature in cup would be around max 64 degrees celcius (147.2) but by changing brew temperature and taking out 2 empty shots it came to the usual 160 to 165 range, which is ideal. In tasting my coffee I also noticed it was not sour anymore (underextracted) which it was before I changed the settings
@@Dhruv1223 when u say make 2 empty double shots, i presume u mean to just press the double shot button twice with just water?
