What type of coffee beans should I use for the DeLonghi ECAM550.85.MS?

Use fresh, whole coffee beans for the best flavor. It's recommended to choose medium to dark roast beans, as lighter roasts may not extract well. Ensure the beans are not oily to avoid clogging the grinder.

If the machine is not grinding the beans, check if there is a blockage in the grinder. Ensure the beans are not too oily or damp. Clean the grinder by following the instructions in the manual, and try adjusting the grind setting.

To improve milk froth quality, use cold, fresh milk with a high protein content. Ensure the frother is clean and free of any blockages. Adjust the froth density settings on the machine for a finer texture.

What should I do if the machine displays a water circuit empty message?
