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

In this 15-minute video, we show you what to pay attention to during preparation and how to achieve a delicious espresso result with the Delonghi Dedica 685 and the Delonghi Dedica 885.

1. What to do if the portafilter sprays?

Cause: Spraying from the portafilter is often caused by so-called channeling – this is when coffee flows unevenly through the basket.

Solution: Working precisely and tamping firmly (pressing down the coffee) helps to 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 behind a wet coffee puck.

Tip: Leave the portafilter inserted for a moment after extraction to allow excess coffee to drip off. Place a cup under the portafilter to catch the drops.

3. After extraction – wait a moment!

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

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

4. Work cleanly with the measuring cup

Use a measuring cup (51mm) to fill the ground coffee cleanly into the portafilter and minimize mess.

5. Working with a scale

A coffee scale guarantees consistent results. This allows you to precisely control the grind size and dose. You can find more tips on espresso preparation here.
