This machine has a terrible manual, while in fact it is a simple procedure now that you showed it. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Really encouraging
Just wondering, can I make it less froth for this coffee machine?
Not really. There’s no way to adjust the frothiness of the milk
Does anyone know how to adjust your desired foam level?
If you mean frothiness, then no. You can’t adjust the frothiness of the milk. But you can adjust how much milk to pour in a cup.
@@gabeslifestuff Sigh. That's what I feared. I don't like 1+" of foam. I saw older models have the ability to dial down the foam levels.
@@siricepick ahh. Yeah. Would have been cool if it could do that ei.
Best HOW TO videos I've ever seen. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Appreciate the love, Patty!
Thank you so much, clear and concise 👍
Thanks, mate!
what number have you got your grinder set to?
I have it at 2
Do you have to have the water filter? Also, I’ve been noticing mold in the pulp basin when throwing it away. Thoughts?
If you’re asking “will it make coffee even without the water filter?” Then no, you don’t have to have it. But I strongly recommend having it on. Hope this helps
And oh. Regarding the mold in the pulp, that’s very normal for me. I noticed that some beans don’t develop mold though, particularly the expensive ones. 😂
Does it only give half a cup??? 😢
Kind of a tricky question because it depends on the drink and the cup you’re using 😅. But you can adjust the water level though. I actually have a video on how to make adjustments to the drinks
Thx for making it so simple!!
The pleasure is all mine, Donna
Excellent video! I got this machine as well but now the Evo isn't detecting the milk throther unless I push and hold onto the top part to the coffee machine. Are you experiencing this issue yourself?
Thanks! No. I’ve never had that problem. You might need to call customer service and tell them about it
Well done 👍
Appreciate the love, mate
Well done, thank you!
Thanks, dude
Thank you so much. Read the instructions and could not understand a word. Listened to your video and understood everything. 👌
Awesome to know the video was helpful!
The default coffee mode will only fill up about 40% of a regular coffee cup. I did the adjustment setting, but still, only got it up to about 60% of a standard-sized coffee cup. Is anyone else experiencing and annoyed by that? In the meantime, my workaround is to do a custom fill 45% and just run the coffee mode twice.
@@JasonMaehl oh. I’ll have to look into this, Jason. I’ve always been able to get the water level to the point I wanted.
You missed setting the timer/auto shut off.
Thanks for pointing that out, bro. I actually have another video that talks about that. Check out my other video on adjustments. Hope that one helps
This is a great video, thank you. 1. How often do you need to descale this machine? 2. And do we not need to clean the grinder? I am thinking on getting this one for my home, never had anything but a keurig machine yet.
I just descale it when the descale light flashes. You can clean the grinder basin with dry paper towel, but that’s about it. Avoid getting it wet.
Thanks@@gabeslifestuff have you noticed how often the light flashes in your experience?
@@warr.iyer8944 not really. Really depends on how frequent you use it.
How often you descaling the machine? Only when the light comes up?
Yeah. Only when the light comes up
What settings do you suggest for the best espresso?
@@euplio46 i go for a grind setting of 2, set the aroma to ‘strong’. That’s basically it. And if you’re still not satisfied, you can always go for doppio
When I press the descale button, I get a “hazard symbol” that blinks and no action is taken by the machine. Any advice?
@@mikelowry9435 was the descale icon lighting up when you pressed the descale button?
Excellent video and simple to understand.
Appreciate the love. Glad to know its been helpful.
Great video, Gabe! I got a quick question. I ran into a problem because I use pre-ground coffee. Do you know how if I have cleansed all the necessary parts so that it could work again? Also, does the machine really not work with a pre-ground coffee? Appreciate if you can answer!
It has the ability to use pre-ground coffee. Check out my video “use and review” to know how. Hope this helps
Good video. One thing I would expand on. When the grinder has beans in it it stops you from making a finer adjustment on the grind because it can't squash the beans in between grinders and you will break it. It is not that the machine needs to be running but you must make the adjustment in the short time the bean is actually grinding. I do not think you need to do it for backing it out for a larger grind but if it is difficult to move the dial I would do it the same as making it finer.
Thanks, Robert. Yes, I’ve received numerous feedback on adjusting the grinder. I didn’t quite get it at the time of making the video. Thanks again.
Reset is not working but thanks anyway
Soery to hear that. Maybe your magnifica is a different type?
@@gabeslifestuff turns out it took two left side drinks + x2. Thanks
Can you do same for magnification s smart?
I’m not sure. I’ve only had this one. Sorry
This guy in the video, all I can say is…. Amazing I wish he’d to reviews on tools he’s to the point yet detailed to understand!
Thanks for the love, mate! Very encouraging
can you just leave the machine on for the whole day? Or do you turn it off after making your drink?
It has an auto-off function. So it will turn off by itself even if you don’t manually turn it off after making a drink. Hope this helps.
@@gabeslifestuff if it has auto turn off; everytime u make a coffee it will flush its pipes first? If yes i will need to leave a mug at all times right?
@@DaporotiYat yes, it always “flush” its pipes first. You don’t HAVE TO leave a mug under the spout because there’s the water catcher basin is there. But I just think it’s a good idea to avoid overflow.
Great video, thank you!
My pleasure! Happy to know its useful!
How would you make bigger cups of latte? Look too small the ones in the video
Just pour more milk on the cup.
While the machine GRINDING the coffee!!!!!!!!!
I know i know. 😂 you’re not the first or the 10th to point that out. Haha!
Can I help my family back home to apply while I am here in Aussie?
What do you mean by ‘help’? If you mean that you want to apply for them while you’re here in Australia, yes you can.
Thanks gabe. So does that mean that I will open an individual immi account for each of my family members?
@@mzeve8964yup. That’s what I did for my in-laws.
Just one issue, you should only adjust the grind while the grinder is running. I.e. while the beans are being consumed by the machine. The reason for this is to prevent damage to the grinder by causing it to jam . If you adjust the grind when the grinder is not running, you can jam coffee beans between the grinding surfaces. By having the grinder running while adjusting, this bean jamming can't happen. You're half way correct in you make a coffee while adjusting, but you only have a brief few seconds to do this while the beans are moving in the hopper.
Thanks for the explanation! Several others have already pointed that out, but you’re the first to give a detailed explanation. So, thanks heaps!!
you missed how to reset the water filter. Otherwise great video
That’s noted, mate! Appreciate it!
You have to take that spout apart and clean it properly - on any fully automatic, not just wipe it. Inside it is FULL of build up caked in grounds, and even mold in some cases. Delonghi's have a phillips screw below and between the two nozzles. remove it to start, and you'll find another Phillips screw. There's a youtube video on this and it takes a bit of work, but I'd say you want to do this every 6 months to a year. (ua-cam.com/video/qb1vLCF5wfss/v-deo.htmli=iVcqLQltNqH6xvx6) I just took apart my Jura C60 and it's nozzle was "Disgusting" after about 3 years of light daily use. And what you refer to as the coffee filter is called the "Brew group". It is great that this machine, Saeco's, and some others allow these to be easily removed for cleaning. Not so on Jura machines. However, if you have a Jura, take out the catch box, and reach in with a wet paper towel with two fingers to the very back, and then up until you feel the flat round disc. Wipe it clean weekly to save your self a costly trip to a dealer when that is all that is needed. Not cleaning it will eventually allow it to clog and then the machine struggles to pour a shot and you think the water pump is done, but no, the disc just needs cleaning.
This is awesome info! Thanks, man. Will definitely do these.
Thanks! This is exactly what I want to do. The furniture even looks the same. 🙂
Oh cool! Happy to have helped!
I just brought my new machine today and this video is absolutely so helpful. Thank you so much 😊😊
So happy that it has helped! Good luck with your machine!
Is it possible to submit your application with out making the visa payment immediately?
Not from my experience. I had to pay at the end of the application before it could be submitted
Sorry. Not liking coffee DQ’s you from evaluating the machine.
Hahaha! Fair opinion.
So good to hear... 2yrs on and it's still working just fine. Somehow I can't see these complex machines last 10yrs, like my old bean to cup filter machine. But ha! You never know.
Yeah. That’s true. We never know!
Well done
Oh! Thanks for the appreciation!
Hi Gabb on my 3rd machine 1 st one bought November 2023 and this third REPLACEMENT…🤦🏻 Am I not setting it up correctly..? I follow instructions clean descale all of the guidance vids watched but they all do not light up any Milk coffee drinks.. swiched on off allow time for heat up but not one milk drink light comes on all the other 3 options for exspresso and coffee Doppio+ come on the hot water works when change the milk container ..But when Milk container back in - connected no Lights .. what am I doing wrong 8 month 3 machines .🤦🏻 any answers welcome🇬🇧
Hi Philip. Sorry about your experience, mate. I’m not sure why you keep experiencing that. Try 2 things: (1)see my other video on how to set it up to check if you’re missing something. (2) call customer service, maybe they can help you out. Hope this helps
You have the most helpful video I've seen on cleaning my new machine! Your simple clear information on detaching the part, Awesome. Thank you so much again, we appreciate your experience & time!!!☕❤❤☕
Thanks! Really glad my video helped!
Mate, thank you for your videos really! Can I adjust the seconds of grinding? When I do my coffee, it takes 8 seconds of grinding which seems way too much to me. Is that standard? Thanks
I never actually thought of counting how long my machine ground the beans. But I don’t think you can adjust that. Sorry
My milk is not frothing the way it used to and the coffee and milk no longer forms layers. I followed your cleaning video as I realised I did not take of a part but it's still the same. Any ideas?
Hmmm? Have you tried applying pressure on the bottle when it’s pouring out the milk? I’ve have this issue a couple of times and I noticed it was because of a leak due to the bottle not being attached properly. Hope this helps.
hello! can you adjust the x2 espresso dose?? like the single dose
You mean the doppio plus? Yeah. You can.
Any more tips..... bring it on. Will be helpful.
I actually another video in the works. Will definitely put it up soon. Thanks for the encouragement
When the machine is idle and you accidentally move the knob will it make any changes at all?
Great question. When I did it the first time, which was wrong, I could really tell that it gave out a fuller coffee. So I guess it still does change the settings.
I press and hold the cappuccino button to increase the amount of water for a coffee but it just cuts out at the preset level. How do I get the machine to increase the amount of water to a higher level in the cup. I am using a mug so want more water to come out.
Hmmm? I’ve never really tried increasing the water quantity of the cappuccino option so I’m not sure if that’s unusual. I might try that out.
This is fantastic great job ❤
Thanks!
Thanks handsome that's the best coffee review I found on here and I've made my mind up now which one to buy is there any time you're in Belfast pop round for a coffee 😅
Thanks for the invite. I dunno when I’ll be needing to go to Belfast though. Hehe. But more importantly, thanks for the appreciation! Very encouraging! Hope the machine works out for you!
I think IKEA took notes from either you or someone else that did this because they just made theirn own take on this as of writing this.
Is that so? This been has always been a pull-out one tho
@@gabeslifestuff Ah, wait, nevermind, I thought back when this was made they didn't have those pull-out shelves, my mistake 😅 P.S. I'm funnily enough also dealing with the same issue of the whole set not fitting so... whoops!! 🤣
ahh. Well. Hope this video will help you fix that problem. 😊
