FAQs

How do I clean the Dedica Duo?

Rinse the portafilter and drip tray after each use. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the steam wand after each use. Descale the machine regularly.

What kind of coffee grounds should I use?

Use finely ground coffee, specifically espresso-ground coffee, for the best results.

Can I use E.S.E. pods?

Yes, the Dedica Duo is compatible with E.S.E. pods.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale every 1-3 months, or more often, depending on the water hardness in your area.

How do I froth milk?

Fill a frothing pitcher with cold milk. Purge the steam wand by releasing steam. Place the wand tip just below the milk surface and create a vortex. Lower the pitcher slightly to incorporate air, then submerge the tip to heat the milk. Once you achieve the desired texture, turn off the steam.

The adjustable drip tray accommodates cups up to 12 cm tall.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is included with the product or can be found on the De'Longhi website.
