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

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

Practical tips for the Delonghi Dedica:

1. What to do if the portafilter splashes?

Cause: The splashing of the portafilter is often caused by so-called channeling - the coffee flows unevenly through the sieve.

Solution: Precise work and firm tamping (pressing the coffee) help to reduce channeling.
Make sure to fill the sieve sufficiently (e.g. with 16 g 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 clamped in for a while after brewing to allow excess coffee to drip off.
Place a cup under the portafilter to catch any drips.

3. After drawing – wait a moment!

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

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

4. Working cleanly with the measuring cup

Use a measuring cup (51 mm) to fill the grounds neatly 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. Find more espresso preparation tips here.
