I got one two days a go as a first ever coffee machine thanks to some of your videos on the EC685. Absolutely love it, foaming milk takes a bit of practice but I think I have finally got the hang of it. I'm currently using pre-ground coffee from the shop but it still taste so good. Definitely a great machine for a beginner like myself and it takes up so little room . My biggest problem now is restricting myself to only a couple of cups a day because it tastes so good!

Hi Tom! I don't usually comment on KZitem, but just wanted to thank you for your down to earth approach to espresso. I found your channel some months ago and I decided to get myself a Dedica Arte + Graef 702 (mostly because of your reviews), and I just received the machine and I couldn't be any happier! Thanks to your channel and some other top quality videos, I did some testing with the non-pressurized portafilter and got some amazing results out of the box, with no experience whatsoever. So, you must get this a lot, but thanks to the help you provide to people like me who just want to explore this world without spending a ton of money.

Your videos inspired me. The Delonghi EC885 is excellent. I have these upgrades: * Open portafiter * IMS basket * Leveler * Mesh - sits on top of puck * WDT!! I added the WDT and it makes a huge difference. I have a 1zpresso hand grinder, no "clumps", but, what the WDT does is remove "air pockets" and make the puck much more evenly dense before you tamp. Huge difference! I adjust EC885 to highest water temp. I put in 15gms, wdt, level, tamp HARD (like 40lbs pressure), put on mesh, run the shot (preprogrammed to 38 ml which gives me 30 ml with a shot). No channeling, excellent crema. You can hear the machine working harder and achieving a higher pressure. If it's working really hard, you'll see a little drip coming out of the wand, watch for it! Dedica is great, but imma add the 3420 to get the better temp.

Hello Tom. Today I ordered a De Longhi Dedica Arte thanks to your review. I have to admit that you make reviews on italian coffee machines much better than italians do. In fact, after looking up all italian reviews, I could understand the full potential of this machine only by watching your video. I expected more from italians reviews, since they produce this machine and, most of all, since they are so fixated about their espresso coffees. Kudos to you and thank you very much for all the details you provoded in your review.

you should not be adjusting grind size on a pressurized basket. Entire point of the pressurized basket is to eliminate the grind headache and make an “easy serve”. If you’d like to mess with grind size and get a better shot, you should get a non pressurized basket. Yes you should stop manually at 30 grams so you don’t wash your shot out. Even better if you rewatch the video he tells you how to program your shot. (volumetric dosing). also with a pressurized basket it’s not gonna be worth measuring out the amount of volume in and out and the extraction time since you’ll be getting a mediocre shot anyway. Moral of story. Upgrade new portafilter and basket if you want to do all that

Fantastic video - thanks so much. I have a 685 that's about 9 years old and started leaking water and doing some other weird stuff like the steam shutting off after a couple of pumps. So I got the 885 and agree it's a definite upgrade. Steam wand is so much better and copes much better with a fine grind. Two questions: (1) there was a pointless "needle" included in the box - I can't quite work that one out - am I missing something? (2) does the depressurised portafilter improve the flavour? I use ground coffee from the shops (NZ has great coffee options) but buy a new packet every 1-2 weeks so it's pretty fresh. My standard flat white tastes great. I could cut down my old portafilter... or do I keep the 665 as a reserve for my brother's holiday house since maybe the leak was just crap stuck in the water tank outlet?

So, when you begin to froth, you do indeed hold the tip ABOVE the milk (it looks slightly submerged in the video)? Won't this cause quite a bit of splatter? Then, you submerge the tip after the milk begins to feel warm, right, in the "rolling phase"? How far, though? The video makes it look like you're about halfway down on the wand. (Sorry for all of my posts. I'm looking to upgrade from the Delonghi Stilosa and might purchase this model. I'm still hesitant since I've had issues with the Stilosa, which I posted on another of your videos. I don't want to buy another Delonghi and have the same issues with inconsistent boiler temperature and constant spitting wand pop up.) Thanks for all you do, Tom.
@TomsCoffeeCorner

It depends on the steam power of the machine. For this one, I just abut the surface of the milk to get it started, and submerge a bit once it's rolling. More powerful machines can have the tips submerged right away. It just takes some experimentation. Cheers!

Hey again Tom. You use 14g in the nonpressurized basket here, yet the H26 IMS basket that you link to says that it is sized for 15-18g of coffee. Is this the correct basket? Thanks - cheers!

Hi Tom, thank you so much for your helpful videos! One question: Using the bottomless portafilter means I have to drink a double espresso all the time, right (since it’s coming with the double basket)? If I want to drink normal, a „single“ espresso only, the bottomless portafilter is not the right choice for me, is it? Thinking about getting a portafilter with a double outlet instead. Apart from that, can you recommend a good grinder that is not very costly? Thank you so much in advance Grüße aus Deutschland :)

Hello. I have a problem with the 885 model.. When water is supplied, after spilling 10 - 15 seconds, cook 30 milliliters of coffee. When you press the double espresso button, the extradition takes 20 seconds - 60 grams of coffee. Is this how it should be? With an increase in the volume of water, the time of the strait also changes.. That is, if I want to make an espresso of 30 grams, does it cook for 10-15 seconds? Or do I have a problem with the car?

🔴Здравствуйте - купил на днях delonghi dedica 885 ! До этого была 5 лет - такая же машинка , только 685 !! Впечатления - не то что плохие и ужасные ! Впечатления такие - что Ваша компания - просто напросто плюнула в лицо всем кофеманам в Мире! Так хвалят 680 и 685 ые серии,что они настолько удачные получились - а вы не смогли удержать марку!!! Я когда покупал 685 ую- там ещё не было резинок в фильтрах !Я знал что они будут в новой - но чтоб меня так они расстроили я даже не мог себе представить! Но это пол беды. Я всё равно заказал новый рожок однодонный с Китая. Мерная ложка - это что вообще за чудо!?Ей ворон и воробьёв отпаивать!?Если раньше говорили что в 680-685 ых она так себе,то теперь лучше бы её вообще не клали! И наконец то - капучинатор!!!!!! Он не всбивает молоко а - жарит его и нагревает!!!!Я уже литрами спустил его в унитаз за последние два дня! Трубка гудит в момент всбивания - как реактивный самолёт! У нас 685 - стоит 200$ А я отдал за 885 - 300$ За что переплачено лишние 100$ !? За более менее удачный темпер, который спрятал в полку и оставил цельнометаллический с Китая, или за питчер - который единственный чем порадовал в коробке !? Радости - ни грамма! Теперь не знаю - выкинуть её в окно и забыть как страшный сон, или что с ней делать!?

There's no machine like that, except a La Pavoni. All others have some kind of rubber tubing going from the tank to the pump, and then from the pump to the boiler. The La Pavoni just has a water tank/boiler, and a lever mechanism, so no plastic or rubber needed. Maybe on a gasket, that's about it.

Hi, I had the same decision to make some weeks ago. I don't know about the quality of the steam wand of these machines, probably Tom can give you an answer in this point.

I know using these pods could be a heresy to most of you, but I must say it's pretty convenient in the morning before going to work, when I have just a little time.

Hi there! Well sour often means underextracted espresso, which could be from various things. You could try grinding finer to get a longer duration shot, or you could extract longer, to add more bitterness from the other end of the scale. You could also try extracting with a higher temperature. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mX2Fl5ZvbXWYgWk
