FAQs
Can I use pre-ground coffee?
Yes, while designed primarily for whole beans with the built-in grinder, you can use pre-ground coffee for single shots using the provided filter baskets.
How often should I descale the machine?
The frequency depends on water hardness, but the machine will notify you via the display when a descaling cycle is required.
Is the drip tray dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to wash the drip tray and removable parts by hand with warm soapy water for longevity.
What is the warranty coverage?
Please refer to the documentation included in your specific region for local warranty terms provided by De'Longhi.
Can I brew two cups at once?
The machine is designed to brew one cup at a time directly into the mug for optimal pressure control.
How many grind settings are available?
There are 8 distinct grind settings available on the built-in conical burr grinder.
Troubleshooting
Espresso flows too quickly
The grind size is likely too coarse. Adjust the integrated grinder to a finer setting.
Coffee is not hot enough
Ensure you are warming your cup using the hot water function before pulling the shot and check that the temperature setting on the machine is at the highest level.
Steam wand produces poor foam
Clean the steam wand tip to ensure no dried milk is blocking the nozzle and ensure you are using cold, fresh milk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the machine is placed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation for the 1400W heater. Fill the water tank with filtered, cold water to prevent scale buildup. Before pulling the first shot, run a rinse cycle without coffee to prime the internal systems. Compatibility-wise, the machine uses standard 58mm portafilter accessories. For daily maintenance, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from hardening. Empty the drip tray regularly, and run the machine’s automated descaling program whenever the indicator light alerts you to ensure the longevity of the heating system.
