Making good espresso with the Delonghi Dedica 685 and Delonghi Dedica 885

In this 15-minute video, we show what to look out for 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 splashes?

Cause: Splashing of the portafilter is often caused by so-called channeling – where coffee flows unevenly through the basket.

Solution: Precise work and firm tamping (compressing 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 extraction?

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

Tip: Leave the portafilter clamped in for a bit after extraction to allow excess coffee to drip off. Place a cup under the portafilter to catch drips.

3. After extraction – wait a moment!

After the brewing process, there may still be pressure on the portafilter.

Note: If you release the portafilter immediately after extraction, the coffee can "slosh." Therefore, wait a few seconds before removing the portafilter.

4. Clean work with the measuring cup

Use a measuring cup (51mm) to neatly fill the coffee grounds 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 quantity. Further tips for espresso preparation can be found here.
