This is THE most helpful video I've seen on cleaning my new machine. The user guide was terrible - I need diagrams WITH words. I descaled successfully but could not figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get the filter/infuser out of the machine. Duh ... the machine needs to be powered off. I was getting very upset with myself. Other videos I saw weren't helpful at all and then I saw yours. So short, clear, and to the point. Thank you again!
Thanks for excellent video. As engineering background, To prevent frequent descaling cycle process & save ur time and money, just re-set the hardness level of the machine from No.4 (near salinity water as default by vendor) to level No. 1 (for mineral water) or to No. 2 ( for tap water).👍
Thank you. I always refer to your video on descaling when I do it. It has really helped. I use a citric acid solution rather than the descaling solution.
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.
Just a tip for anyone else wanting to clean the filter, you must turn off the machine via the power button so the filter is realigned diagonally. If it's vertical, it means you probably switched it off at the wall first and you will be unable to take out of the filter. To fix that, just connect all the pieces back into the machine (including water tank) and turn on/off the machine again so it realigns the filter for removal.
Thank you so much for all your videos regarding this coffee machine. I have bought it and absolutely love it. I return to your videos over and over to help guide me. Please keep creating these videos to help us all.
I appreciate your videos. I have the Magnífica Start, but it’s pretty much the same machine. The only difference I saw for cleaning it was there is a different button you push to descale. I was a little intimidated cleaning it for the first time, but your video helped a lot.
Thank you for explaining about detaching the part that is easily missed! Didn't know you can detach that bit!! Solved my problem of the milk not frothing. I stuck a cocktail stick in the connector valve!
Hello same with us. Suddenly milk was terrible and we did not know why. We have our first machine, so we are amateurs :) Best instructional video I have seen about our machine, so thank you a lot :).
Gabe, mate, youre a legend. Never neven knew you could pull the kqchine apart to that degree. Followed your advice and gave it a peroper clean. Coffee tastes like it did when it was new! Go figure! 😅😂
Thank you so much! i was missing that one step with the frother with the part you removed pressing the button. This was causing my frother to not function properly and i had to order a spare one which ended up with the same issue. I watched your video last night and after that the cappuccino i made was so foamy.
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!!!☕❤❤☕
Gabe, Thanks for the great vids, we have one and had no idea about settings, Most videos about this model were ### especially the actual Delonghi vids, maybe they should hire you... we set up our machine in no time thanks to your help..
Quick question. Does step 1 take up to 45 min or all 3 steps in total take 45 min? My machine seems to be stuck at step 1 (maybe?). It spit some water out and stopped doing anything 🤷🏻♂️ I can’t seem to activate step 2. Any suggestions?
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.
Wir haben den Kaffeeautomaten . Die Gebrauchsanweisung im Serviceheft für die Entkalkung des Gerätes ist ein glattes ungenügend . Danke für ihr Video .
It is said to have a steel grinder and make better foam compared to Philips devices. It also seems easier to clean. No need to oil. However, it is a bit expensive for me. Maybe I can buy it if there are New Year's discounts.
Thank you for your good informations. But I have zwo questions: 1. Can I read how many Cups of Coffee the machine was in process and can I make 2 Cups of coffee the Same time? Thank you for answer
@@christinerackerseder can you please clarify question #1? And yes, you can make 2 cups of coffee at the same time, but that would only be the milk-less options though
My question means, I want to know how many cups of coffee I made last month from my machine. And the second I press the button "2" next to the on/off-button and have only the choice for 2 espresso. I can't choose 2 coffee.
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!
Hey Gabe, I accidentally put instant coffee in the main compartment on the top of the machine. How would you recommend me get it out? I vacuumed majority but stilll excess….
Oh no. I think that should be fine because instant coffee is dry. So I think the next cup or few cups you make will just taste weird. If you want, maybe take out and clean the coffee filter/brewing unit and vacuum the cavity. Good idea to vacuum though. But again, I’m no technician. So if you’re still concerned, you might have to contact customer service. Hope this helps
Ahh. All I do is soak in soapy water and then let water pass through the thing for a few seconds. I think there’s pencil-like brushes out there that you can use too. Hope this helps
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. 😂
Great video, only thing I'm struggling with is the coffee grinder. When you first open it up, it looks like mine standing straight, but then it it's tilted to the left and can be easily removed. How do you get it to tilt to the left? Mines not doing that and I can't get it out 😭
Cheers for this. Very helpful. My drip tray is filling up every few days, and the coffee spouts flush water on every turn on and turn off, I think this is self cleaning, is this normal?
When my machine was new, I got the descaling icon more often. Now it's every 2 months (on schedule with the water filter change). I have at at least 2 lattes a day.
I think so. The reason for descaling is only to remove mineral buildup in the ‘pipes’ of your machine. As to your second question, do mean “can you use the descaler fluid in other machines?” If so, I’m not sure. The manual says you should only use the descaler provided by delonghi. Hope this helps.
When the machine automatically turns off, does it also rinse the milk spout if left in? Concerned about when someone accidentally forgets to rinse the spout after making ailk drink
You have to press a button to rinse the milk spout after making coffee with milk. Check out my video named Delonghi Magnifica Evo Use and Review. I explained how to do it there. Hope this helps!
Let's say I use really hard tap water with a lot of limescale. How much of residue this water filter is able to remove? What is composition of this filter? Does it remove only limescale or other contaminants too?
The first filter comes with the machine? Mine didn’t have any 😬 i live in norway and water quality is super good here though, basically no scale in water boiler or washed dishes and stuff 🧐
Hmmm? I’m not sure. Does it look and sound like steam is going everywhere? If so, you need to make sure you reassemble every piece correctly and snugly. If this doesn’t work, you need to call customer service
Hi Simona. You mean water leaked out of the port when you attach the frother? I do get that sometimes. But what I do is put in a bit of muscle when I attach the frother to make sure it’s connected completely. That does the trick. Hope this helps.
Hi there ! I bought this machine few weeks ago. I feel like my espresso is a bit ... Watery... And coffe waste is not dry - there is some water in waste container. You have the same ?
Hello! My De'Longhi Magnifica Evo ECAM 290.61.B got stuck between step 2 and 3. from the place through which the boiled water flows, a click was heard for an hour as if it was trying to get the water out but something wouldn't let it. the descale button was flashing but still in stage 2. I pressed it and the story of the water not flowing started again. now fleshing hot water buttons, triangle and water holder (although all the accessories are correctly inserted). What can I do?
Hi! Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m sorry but I don’t have experience troubleshooting this kind of problem. You might have to call customer service for it. The only thing I can think of is maybe restore it to factory settings? Hope this helps. Let me know what happens!
Does anyone know if temperature of dispensed coffee can be raised, I know there are 3 heat settings and I know Mnfr. advises performing hot rinse before selecting coffee, but this does not produce a hot temperature, I need to raise 5-10 degrees. This is my 3rd coffee machine, this is so disappointing. Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated.
Hi man! I have a "problem" with my Magnifica Evo. My drip tray is filling up with water, even with having a cup catch all the turning on/turning off cleaning cycle. I have found that there is more water in the drip tray after each coffee brew and DeLonghi says this is ok due to the pressure release. I wanted to ask if you have the same "problem" with your model?
My drip tray does fill up with water even if I put a cup to catch the water during the cleaning cycle. But I’m not sure if it’s just someone else forgetting place the cup underneath the spout after making coffee.
Absolutley brilliant and very helpful. Sub'd and notified as a new Subber. Thank you. I wasnt cleaning the milk spout properly or the coffee grind/filter, also I was doing the descaling wrong lol Question, when the water filter light comes on and Ive descaled, inserted a new water filter, the red water filter light is still on, how do I clear that ?
Is there a water filter light? Mine doesn’t have one actually. Maybe that’s a different light you are referring to. But thanks for the support! Really means a lot!
Hey mate, do you do teardowns/disassembly for these machines? I have one that's almost the same, but out the box a few of the side panels don't lock into place as they should and I am not sure I want to discover how to open it up on my own.
Greta video! I have one question though How do I know when I need a descaler? I use tap water that is "rinsed" (?) so I don't know if my water has scale in it (it should not have it). So I don't know if that step is necessary for me? Does the machine show when I need to descale it?
Delonghi should attach this video on their official website. Great job bro
Thanks! Appreciate the love.

@@denaschneider6883 no problem! Happy to be of help!
Great video thank you 😊. I'm going to be leaving mine for a few months - how do I get the unused coffee beans out please?
First just take them out by hand and then if there’s some that you can’t take, use a handheld vaccum
much better than the original videos from Delonghi themselves
Thanks! Appreciate it.
This series is extremely helpful. Thank you! I’ve referred to your videos so many times.

Yes sorry i mean the milk bottle
Quick question. Does step 1 take up to 45 min or all 3 steps in total take 45 min? My machine seems to be stuck at step 1 (maybe?). It spit some water out and stopped doing anything 🤷🏻♂️ I can’t seem to activate step 2. Any suggestions?
About 45mins all up. But yes, the 1st phase can take up to 30mins and, in my experience, there will be moments where it does not seem to do anything.
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.

It is said to have a steel grinder and make better foam compared to Philips devices. It also seems easier to clean. No need to oil. However, it is a bit expensive for me. Maybe I can buy it if there are New Year's discounts.
Yes, it does have a steel grinder. I haven’t tried out Philips’ coffee machines. And yeah, that sounds like a good idea to qait for discounts
thank You for this video Dear Gabe, now I will clean my brand new DME as It should be cleaned
My pleasure! Glad it helps.
Is there a way to empty the bean container like say to eliminate unused beans in there and put fresh in?
Unfortunately no. The only way I can think of is if you use a vacuum cleaner.

You’re welcome! Once a month is fine, mate.
Great tutorial just one question why do I find a lot of water in the drip tray when I never have a overflow?
I honestly don’t know. But a lot of people have also experienced the same thing. Maybe it’s normal? Sorry I can’r be more helpful.
I am concerned about cleaning the inside of the flexible pipe that goes into the milk. How do you clean that?
Ahh. All I do is soak in soapy water and then let water pass through the thing for a few seconds. I think there’s pencil-like brushes out there that you can use too. Hope this helps
Which better, Delonghi magnifica Evo or Philips 5400?
I dunno, mate. I only have the Magnifica Evo. 😅
Thanks for the video. Great info. How often do you have to descale? Once a month?
You mentioned there is a 2lt container/jug to catch the descaling liquid. Do you know where i might find one to buy?
I didn’t really go looking for one so I wouldn’t know. sorry
Do you have to have the water filter? Also, I’ve been noticing mold in the pulp basin when throwing it away. Thoughts?

How regularly would you recommend cleaning the coffee filter? Thanks for the great content!
I clean the coffee filter at least once a month.
Great video, only thing I'm struggling with is the coffee grinder. When you first open it up, it looks like mine standing straight, but then it it's tilted to the left and can be easily removed. How do you get it to tilt to the left? Mines not doing that and I can't get it out 😭
Make sure that the machine is unplugged. That usually works
Cheers for this. Very helpful. My drip tray is filling up every few days, and the coffee spouts flush water on every turn on and turn off, I think this is self cleaning, is this normal?
Yup. That’s the normal cleaning mechanism of the machine.
Hey, I have a question, when I press 5 sec on the descaling button, a triangle with an exclamation mark shines in it, what can I do?
Hmmm? I’m not really sure why that is. Did you follow the process step by step as show. In the video?
Probably too much water in tank
This happens when you don’t have the water spout in

hey, just a quick one. what coffee beans are recommended or your experience. I heard that dark roast is too oily and clogs the grinder. cheers man
I don’t know about that really. Will keep that in mind when buying beens though. Thanks
Hey, quick question, have you ever had the machine not pour coffee? I've adjusted the grinds and cleaned it out and nothing is working. Thoughts?
Actually, I have. What I did was do a factory reset and it did the trick
Great video, instructions are more straightforward than Delonghi's
Thanks for the, love! 😁
You are the best Delonghi mashine reviewer bro
My mashine with out milk container could you advise some about
Appreciate the, love! Sounds like a good idea. I’ll think about that.
Hi this is brilliant thanks so much for sharing! Anyways, I was wondering how many times /month does the descaling process should take?
Hi Fahira. Thanks for the appreciation. I honestly have not worked that out. However, it should depend on your usage and the water hardness.
When my machine was new, I got the descaling icon more often. Now it's every 2 months (on schedule with the water filter change). I have at at least 2 lattes a day.
Did you not change the filter? I assumed it needed to be when descaling.
Nope. It doesn’t. You’re supposed to change the water filter every 2 months
I hold button for 5 seconds..but then the triangle sign showed up and everything stopped. What does this mean and what should I do?
Hmmm? Was the ‘descale alert light’ showing up when you decided to descale? I’m not sure about this, but I think that may be why.
Mine has the exact same issue right now. The descale light is on but nothing happens when i try to initiate the descaling. Were you able to solve it?
Is it necessary to do another cleaning process despite the descaling? Can you use those cleaning tabs as it can be used for other Coffee machines?
I think so. The reason for descaling is only to remove mineral buildup in the ‘pipes’ of your machine. As to your second question, do mean “can you use the descaler fluid in other machines?” If so, I’m not sure. The manual says you should only use the descaler provided by delonghi. Hope this helps.

You have to press a button to rinse the milk spout after making coffee with milk. Check out my video named Delonghi Magnifica Evo Use and Review. I explained how to do it there. Hope this helps!
Excellent video. Many thanks❤
You’re welcome!
Have you ever had issues with using preground coffee?
I used it once and it wont work second time
No I haven’t. Make sure the machine is already turned on before you put in the coffee
Do you empty your water tank overnight (when you’re done making coffee) or do you just keep water in all the time?
I keep water all the time
How often you descaling the machine? Only when the light comes up?
Yeah. Only when the light comes up
Let's say I use really hard tap water with a lot of limescale. How much of residue this water filter is able to remove? What is composition of this filter? Does it remove only limescale or other contaminants too?
Hi Tom G. Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that question. I think it’s best to ask Delonghi about this kind of stuff.
Is there a way to clean the grinder?
I’m not really sure. You can brush any coffee residue or you could use a vacuum cleaner I guess.
Thanks for the video. Is there a way to adjust the amount of milk foam?
I don’t think so, Umut. That would be a good function though

Good evening! When I use the milk frothing function, squeeze the water into the tray (30-40 ml of water). It is normal?
Hi Simona. You mean water leaked out of the port when you attach the frother? I do get that sometimes. But what I do is put in a bit of muscle when I attach the frother to make sure it’s connected completely. That does the trick. Hope this helps.
Do you remove the round metal disc when cleaning the infuser?

Great tutorial. Thanks for the coffee grinder cleaner too.
The user guide was useless.
Happy to know my video helped!
Does anyone know if temperature of dispensed coffee can be raised, I know there are 3 heat settings and I know Mnfr. advises performing hot rinse before selecting coffee, but this does not produce a hot temperature, I need to raise 5-10 degrees. This is my 3rd coffee machine, this is so disappointing. Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated.
Heat-up your cup before making a drink. That’s the only thing I can think of.
is it safe to drink coffee right after this process or should you pour one out to sink just in case?
Which process are you referring to? In any case, I think it should be safe. As long as you wash out all soap suds if you did use soap.
@@gabeslifestuff sorry i thought i wrote it. Right after descaling process and all three phases.
I think it should be okay. The last phase seems like it’s flushing out all the descaler fluid.
Hi man!
I have a "problem" with my Magnifica Evo. My drip tray is filling up with water, even with having a cup catch all the turning on/turning off cleaning cycle. I have found that there is more water in the drip tray after each coffee brew and DeLonghi says this is ok due to the pressure release. I wanted to ask if you have the same "problem" with your model?
My drip tray does fill up with water even if I put a cup to catch the water during the cleaning cycle. But I’m not sure if it’s just someone else forgetting place the cup underneath the spout after making coffee.
@@gabeslifestuff Thanks for the reply. I already found out on the forum that this is a feature of newer models that have a separate vaporizer.
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?
Absolutley brilliant and very helpful. Sub'd and notified as a new Subber. Thank you.
I wasnt cleaning the milk spout properly or the coffee grind/filter, also I was doing the descaling wrong lol
Question, when the water filter light comes on and Ive descaled, inserted a new water filter, the red water filter light is still on, how do I clear that ?
Is there a water filter light? Mine doesn’t have one actually. Maybe that’s a different light you are referring to.
But thanks for the support! Really means a lot!
@@gabeslifestuff yes there is a red change the water filter light. I did the clean and changed the filter but it won't clear.
Hey mate, do you do teardowns/disassembly for these machines? I have one that's almost the same, but out the box a few of the side panels don't lock into place as they should and I am not sure I want to discover how to open it up on my own.
I don’t do teardowns, mate. Sorry. I recommend calling customer service and requesting for a replacement
Proudly owner of this magnificent coffee machine, thank you so much for your video.
Hi, no mention of how often to clean the coffee filter?
Oh. It actually depends on your usage. But twice a month has been enough for me
when cleaning the coffee filter, what happens when you dont turn off? i`ve done it several times i guess.
You won’t be able to pull it out because it won’t be in the proper position.
Greta video!
I have one question though
How do I know when I need a descaler? I use tap water that is "rinsed" (?) so I don't know if my water has scale in it (it should not have it).
So I don't know if that step is necessary for me?
Does the machine show when I need to descale it?
The machine will tell you if you need to descale it, as shown in the video. So, you always need to have a descaler on hand.
@@gabeslifestuff Oh I think I didn't catch that when I was watching it. You must mean the symbol at 1:27
Yes. that symbol. :)
I've heard about lubricating machine parts periodically. Do you know anything about it?
Hi Pelin. No. I don’t know anything about lubricating the parts
Great video. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
I clean it regularly, but from a few days it stopped making good foam. The filter is also new, what could be the problem?
I’m not sure. Sorry. There’s no way to adjust the foaminess of the milk from what I can tell. You might have to ask customer service about that
What if I use already good quality water? The water filter makes no sense then. Can this machine be used without a water filter?
Yeah. You can use it without the filter
