Hi. Which of these three machines is the best in your opinion? 1. Cheap gaggia like viva etc (basically rebranded saeco poemas) 2. Delonghi ec31 3. Delonghi ec230 from this review. 4. Ariete picasso I would like to try unpressurized filter when I buy one of these machines. I mostly drink milk coffees (latte and cappuccino) but sometimes when I want stronger drink I drink espresso.
Hey Dmitriy great video. Bought this 2nd hand. What size of grind do you recommend for this machine also ceramic or stainless steel burr (does it even matter) Cheers
Hello Dmitriy. I have recently purchased an EC 260 and I'm having an issue with the basket getting stuck in the head of the machine. It seems to be too tight when it connects and so the pin in the portafilter is not strong enough.
Hello!, I'm having an issue with my Stilosa EC230.BK currently where when I turn my unit on, it immediately turns itself off for unknown reasons. I'm wondering if you happen to know any fix for it? Huge Thank you for your time!
Because prepacked ground coffee usually has too coarse grind level. On the EC230 they install single wall baskets (not pressurized baskets) which require finer grinding. If you will find properly preground coffee (buy it at local coffee shop, for example), of course, you can use it.
@@jcrensht I am writing 6 months later ….I suggest you invest in a good grinder as this is just as important as a good espresso machine. I personally have a Breville Barista Express that has an integrated grinder in the machine and I love it. I bought the machine based on the reviews and 2 friends that bought and recommended the quality of the machine. I am a big fan !
Hi Dimitriy, i have this machine but recently the pressure from the water coming out of the head is less and water keeps dripping out a lot when after pulling a shot. any idea what is causing this?
@@KaranRajpal yes i did! the valve in the boiler was closed up deu to calc and sentiment of the water i am using. if you take it apart like in the video (> 4.36 min), and open up the boiler, (make sure its not hot and pressured) there is a small pipe/opening in the bottum of the boiler. in this pipe there is a small spring with a rubber droplet on top. when pressure is high enough the water presses down the droplet and spring which opens the exit for the water to run down into the piston where the coffee is. the problem was that the spring was not coming back up and therefor water was leaking. is you clean the boiler and spring, the problem should be fixed. mine is running as good as new. hope this makes sense, otherwise feel free to ask me any questions.
I'm an idiot, I don't want Panarello and I don't want a pressurized basked since I have a decent grinder and I got the 260. It was on sale and I got it on impulse and now I have to mod it... wish I could trade for a 230...

So EC260 is best overall?
What'd the difference between 3 models ?
Amazing video! Great to know the exact boiler size
How often do you descale the machine, and can you show us how?
Hi
I have pressurized baskets from my old DCG ES6514N espresso machine (51mm) , are they suitable for the delonghi ec230.bk?
Hi! May I know if the machine originally comes with a pressurized or non-pressurized portafilter basket? Thank you!
non-pressurized

1. Cheap gaggia like viva etc (basically rebranded saeco poemas)
2. Delonghi ec31
3. Delonghi ec230 from this review.
4. Ariete picasso

Definitely, Viva/Poemia
@@101kofemashina Thanks. I suspect gaggias are best because best they have quality components inside? Why not delonghi?
I'm sorry i did not understand what model is the newest?THANKYOU!
All of them launched the same year
Hi, what’s the portafilter size for this?
Can you buy a pressurised basket for this model? I’m not getting any crema at all, I have a good grinder and it has done me well so far
Sure, part number 7313288199 should fit
@@101kofemashina awesome
Thanks for replying man, really appreciate it
Why it’s not good as a gift?
Hey Dmitriy great video. Bought this 2nd hand. What size of grind do you recommend for this machine also ceramic or stainless steel burr (does it even matter) Cheers
Ceramic burrs usually can't give fine enough grind level. Thus, SS burrs would be better
Hello Dmitriy. I have recently purchased an EC 260 and I'm having an issue with the basket getting stuck in the head of the machine. It seems to be too tight when it connects and so the pin in the portafilter is not strong enough.
Dimitry how to change the pump show us please how to remove it and reinstall it
sorry, but i didn't go so deep. what's happened, your pump is dead?
Hi! What is the portafilter size for the EC235?
51mm

Check if the central knob is on middle position, not on the steam mode (left)
Thank you for the interesting content. Is it possible, in your opinion, to tweak this machine and make better espresso shots with it?
What particular coffee grounds to be used in this machine?
Fine enough for unpressurized espresso, while preground coffee from supermarket is usually more coarser.
Great Video! Thank You
How did you put the milk in
Anyone knows where to buy online the original unpressurized basket that comes with the ec230 to use it in the ec260?
Dear sir my machine is new but the foam of coffee is not good
Or lets say there is no foam in coffee
do you mean crema on coffee or milk foam?
I read that ecp 31.21 has different boiler abbd is better despite they look almost the same... Also some other website mentions boiler size is 180ml
I trust my own measurements, not some other bloggers.
@@101kofemashina that's great. I have that machine. Someone said that previous version ecp is better even tho they have similar boiler...
can you elaborate on why you can't use coffee from the supermarket with this one? and which ones you can?

@@101kofemashina Thanks. I buy Lavazza Oro and use french press daily for my americano. I want a coffee machine but seems there is a lot to consider.

My EC230 leaks ( from heat block ) after 30 days, 1 cofee par day :)
Very useful!! Thx😊

Thank tou really nice video
I`m struggling to get a good crema on this, using the finest setting on my grinder. It pours fast and a bit too watery. Any tips?
Probably, your grinder can't do grind enough for espresso. Which grinder do you use?

Да, это "рядность моделей" схематично)) они идентичны по корпусу. Сорри, если только запутал больше
Hi what is the size of porta filter and tamper for EC230? Thanks
51
Спасибо огромное!
Hi, what is that manual grinder used in this video?
1zpresso Q1 (= MYM54 on aliexpress), they didn't produce it anymore. Here are some photos 101coffeemachines.info/grinders/1zpresso-timemore-from-aliexpress/
how many steam hole?
На русском есть? Я так не понял, в чем отличия между 230 и 235?

No
Спасибо!))
Unpressurized basket with no panarello? If u want to start ur latte making journey in hard mode 😆
