FAQs
Can I put the espresso glasses in the dishwasher?
While borosilicate is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the clarity of the hand-blown glass over time.
What is the maximum capacity of the coffee grinder?
The hopper is designed to hold 90 grams of coffee beans.
Are the grind settings adjustable?
Yes, there are three distinct settings: fine, medium, and coarse, suitable for various brewing styles.
Will the knock box damage my portafilter?
No, the knock box features an iron-core rubber bar specifically designed to cushion the portafilter upon impact.
Is the set compatible with non-De'Longhi machines?
Yes, the accessories are designed to work universally with most standard espresso machines and portafilters.
Troubleshooting
The grinder feels difficult to turn
Check if beans are jammed in the burrs or if you have adjusted the setting too fine; try backing off the setting slightly.
Knock box is sliding on the counter
Clean both the rubber base of the knock box and your countertop surface with a damp cloth to restore the non-slip friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your DLPK31 set, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Grinder Maintenance: Periodically disassemble the grinder chamber to remove leftover oils and fine dust. Use a dry brush rather than water to clean the inner burrs.
- Knock Box Care: The knock box should be emptied regularly to prevent moisture build-up. The inner bar can be removed for cleaning; wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Glassware Handling: While borosilicate glass is thermal-shock resistant, avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. These glasses are best kept clean by hand washing with a soft sponge to prevent scratching.
- Compatibility: This set is universally compatible with standard 54mm and 58mm portafilters, making it an excellent addition to almost any espresso machine setup.
