To descale the DeLonghi EC785.GY, fill the water tank with a descaling solution, follow the instructions for starting the descaling program, and ensure to rinse the system thoroughly afterward by running clean water through the machine.
Ensure the machine has had enough time to preheat. You can also preheat your cups and use freshly boiled water in the water tank. Adjusting the temperature settings in the menu can also help.
Check if the steam dial is fully turned on. Ensure there's enough water in the tank and that the machine is properly heated up. If the issue persists, clean the steam wand to clear any blockages.
Select the double espresso button on the machine. Ensure you have a double shot filter basket in the portafilter and use the appropriate amount of coffee grounds.
Regularly clean the drip tray, water tank, and portafilter. Descale the machine every 2-3 months, and clean the steam wand and brew unit after each use.
Use freshly ground coffee and adjust the grind size on your grinder. A finer grind will increase extraction, while a coarser grind will decrease it. Experiment to find the optimal setting for your taste.
Check if the water tank is correctly positioned and that seals and gaskets are intact. Clean any residue from the drip tray and ensure the drainage pipe is not blocked.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. Ensure the ground coffee is suitable for espresso machines and use the appropriate filter basket in the portafilter for single or double shots.
If the coffee flows too slowly, the grind may be too fine or tamped too hard. If it flows too quickly, the grind may be too coarse or tamped too loosely. Adjust accordingly for optimal flow.
Fill a jug with cold milk, immerse the steam wand just below the surface, and steam until the milk reaches the desired temperature and texture. Move the jug to create a vortex for best results.
