Making Great Espresso with the Delonghi Dedica 685 and Delonghi Dedica 885

In this 15-minute video, we show what to pay attention to when preparing an espresso and how to achieve a delicious espresso result with the Delonghi Dedica 685 and Delonghi Dedica 885.

1. What to do if the portafilter sprays?

Cause: The spraying of the portafilter is often caused by so-called channeling – this is when coffee flows unevenly through the basket.

Solution: Precise work and firm tamping (pressing the coffee) help reduce channeling. Make sure to fill the basket sufficiently (e.g., with 16g APAS) to minimize the risk of channeling.

2. Wet coffee puck after brewing?

It is normal for the DeLonghi Dedica to often leave a wet coffee puck.

Tip: Leave the portafilter locked in for a moment after brewing to allow excess coffee to drip off. Place a cup under the portafilter to catch drips.

3. After brewing – wait a moment!

There may still be pressure on the portafilter after brewing.

Note: If you remove the portafilter immediately after brewing, the coffee may "splash". Therefore, wait a few seconds before removing the portafilter.

4. Clean work with the dosing cup

Use a dosing cup (51mm) to fill the grounds cleanly into the portafilter and create less mess.

5. Working with a scale

A coffee scale guarantees consistent results. This allows you to precisely control the grind size and amount. You can find more espresso preparation tips here.
