i use this video anytime i have to descale😂
I do the same 😂
Same😂😂
Same here. The best one
Thank you for your video.
I must say it’s clearer than that of Delonghi’s own video, because:
1. The flashing steam button is the indicator of the descaling function and that’s not shown in Delonghi’s
2. The descaling function in action has a distinctive squirting sound, which indicates that one has picked the right function. Again, that’s not present in Delonghi’s own video.
So true!
Finally a very well made video showing it all super clearly.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
Very nice instruction for all Dedica owner. Thank you for the video 🙌
Thank you, i keep coming back to this video every time i need a descale 😝
The best video...thanks
Thanks very much the best video even from delongi
Very nice videos, beautiful production. Do you speak in any of them?? Thanks
I tried to descale the machine with the liquid supplied by the manufacturer. Sorry to say even after following the procedure as described in the manual and shown in this video, the orange light is still blinking.
What to do next!!!😥😥
Can anyone help with suggestions.
Thanks!
I had descaling few time, but orange light still blinking, what is the problem?
Thank you very much. Great. Very neat and careful.
how the water tank can be cleaned regularly? It needs to be cleaned to avoid from bacteria in it. Is it enough just only rinsing it with water regularly or which other tips can you recommend?
Good tip to.cover with a towel!
Thanks for info very easy
THE ORANGE LIGHT IN MY SAME MACHINE STILL LIGHTS AFTER A FULL TANK CLEANING WITH DELONGHI DESCAILER. ON AND OFF DO NOT HELP. WAS IT TOO DIRTY? (I USED IT FOR ABOUT 16 CUPS AFTER RED LIGHT WAS ON AND BEFORE DESCAILING). THANK U.
I wonder the same situation, did yours changed after some time?

Doing this now, thanks for the vid!
The two light indicate one shot or two shots are on all the time after cleaning the machine.
How you reset them to turn off when not in use?
Perfect thanks!
Thank you very much!
Nice tutorial. Thanks
I have never decalcified. In the user manual they classify water according to its lime content, as soft, medium and hard. In my case I use osmotic water. The first few times when I got the descale warning, -I had the soft setting-, I did a pseudo descaling, tricking the system to avoid the annoying warning flashing, but now I forget about it. I hope that the designers of coffee machines, think of the users who use osmosis systems.
Thank you very much.
Does the osmosis system water not have limescale or hard metal like Ca, Mg ?
@@painpeace3619 No.
The operation itself of reverse osmosis could be broken down into 5 stages:
Stage 1 - Sediment Filter
Let's say this is the splash area for water coming from the faucet. Here we will get a powerful 5 micron sediment filter with polypropylene fabric. Thanks to its high number of open micro pores, it is possible to achieve an effective absorption of all kinds of impurities on its surface such as: rust particles, silt, sand and any other suspended agent.
Stage 2 - Activated Carbon Filter
It is a high-quality granulated carbon whose main muscle is its large pore surface, which has the mission of exterminating chlorine particles, odours, flavours, phenol and other organic pollutants that we can find in tap water.
Stage 3 - Combined activated carbon CTO filter
At this stage the filtration is more thorough and dedicated, a filter made of activated carbon powder is in charge of reducing and even eliminating remaining particles of chlorine, pesticides and other organic impurities that could affect our health.
Stage 4 - Semi-permeable membrane
This semi-permeable membrane is the penultimate stage, here the water passes through it, leaving behind up to 97% of dissolved elements, among which are: fungicides, herbicide bacteria, uranium, heavy metal nitrate, drug residues and more.
Stage 5 - GAC post filter
Our water is almost ready to be consumed, it only remains to go through the last stage, a post filter that contains granulated activated carbon of vegetable origin that helps filter the water already stored in the reserve tank, thus guaranteeing its pleasant and stimulating taste.
I just wanted to see how to get the green top off the bottle and you did that off screen
yeah me too😂
Ugh same
in 10 minutes it auto stop?
Thanks a lot !!!!
You're welcome!
Very nice . Thanks 👍
Useful,thank you.
nice descaling demonstration, btw I see you have Dedica grinder, how is that playing out with your naked PF, does it really grind fine espresso quality? If yes I'm gonna get one .
I have tried same procedure a few times but orange light doesn’t go away. Any idea why?
after descaling hold the steam button.
Hi - can you explain more clearly what you mean please ?
I tried to descale the machine with the liquid supplied by the manufacturer. Sorry to say even after following the procedure as described in the manual and shown in this video, the orange light is still blinking.
What to do next!!!😥😥
Hmm when I turned the dial to the “O” for smaller amounts of water to come out nothing came out. Has than happened to anyone?
Can you descale at any time or only when the light flashes
Only when the light flashes.
Hi do you think that I could do the descale process without waiting for the orange light to flash? It’s been 5 months since the last descale and i’ve been using it 2x a day?!
I’ve been using mine once a day and the orange light came after 10 months for the first time. Give it time, it’ll flash when descaling is required.
@@darshandarshand it did flash like 2 weeks ago, thank you though!
It flashes according to the type of water hardness chosen. There are a set number of services for each of the 3 types of water hardness. I personally use osmotic water, so I never need to use descaling.
Did you reduce the pressure of the machine??
🔥
I'm currently using the default frother without the outer sprout. Milk is getting much silkier that way. How did you modified the machine for using the Rancilio steam wand? Thank you for you videos!! 💯They're always great and much pleasing! 🔝
I looked from this link ua-cam.com/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/v-deo.html
@@ArtyHome was it difficult to assemble machine back to be functional? I’m finding it a bit scary disassembling the whole machine. 😬
need help here!! :( after drained full tank of diluted desacle water the desacle mode is gone (back to normal operation)
is there anyway to access descale mode manully? just need to rinsing fresh water to make sure all those acid is gone....
I don't know how to manually enter descale mode, but you can hit the brew button. Can release water, but will have to press several times before the water runs out.
@@ArtyHome thanks this's a good idea! Will do
Fine vdo.
Can you backflush the Dedica? can’t seem to find anything on it for this machine, thx
No it does t have that function
Hello. How did you modify the milk stream stick? If I buy the mechine, can I change that?
It is not a quick job but if you concentrate it is easy ua-cam.com/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/v-deo.html
does the machine prompt you to descale? we're using our machine to make an average of 2-5 coffee per day and been using it for a month so have only used it for less than a hundred times. SO i'm wondering how I should know when I should descale. Thanks.
The steam button will turn orange , this is the indication .
@@Salviadivina thanks. it did two days ago.
i just used the machine for a month and lights starts flashing
,is there something wrong with the machine,i have heard it needs descaling every 3 or 6 mothns
You set the water hardness to soften. ua-cam.com/video/Nw1-J-qyeQI/v-deo.html
Hello! I have been using the machine for a month, after two weeks the light came on, today it's exactly fourteen days and I just finished cleaning :(
@@Kate888K Hay 3 tipos de agua a elegir según su contenido en cal, y un número determinado de servicios para cada uno de ellos. Si has elegido agua dura el ciclo es más corto.
@@Eulyde ¡Hola! ¡Lo se, gracias! Cambié la configuración usando el enlace de arriba y veremos ... ¡Saludos!
Hey, the stand holding tamper and leveller, mind sending me the link? I see similar on Amazon but just want to compare.

@Arty Home can I please have the link for the bottomless portafilter

Are you adjusting the pressure of the machine?
No, I didn't adjust the pressure.
Can we use orher descaling solution instead of Delonghi? The solution is quite pricey 😅
30 ml citric acid to 1 L of water or white vinegar at 3:7 ratio vinegar to water should be perfectly fine as well.
Is it worth it or lemon salt is just fine ?
Use white vinegar
Thanks, I'm a big fan
I just followed your tutorial guide Video and wallah my red light 💡 gone
Thanks, so much for this video.
My second question
How come you settle for DeLonghi while you obviously can buy a high-end espresso machine!?
Thank you very much, I want a better machine. But I have to learn better about coffee first.
@@ArtyHome I don't want to seem too cocky same minds think alike
I have the ability to have my dream machine LINEA MINI BLACK but I won't buy unless I know everything and can fix any problem I may have with it.
@@FevLoad LINEA MINI BLACK is what I need as well. :)
@@ArtyHome hope to see you have it soon.
When you heard the steam wand doing it’s thing, did anybody think “FLASH!”
Wow the sound effect for the on-screen text is so annoying I had to find another video 😬
Thanks a lot !
