Great video. Highly informative. I just ordered none of these machines yesterday and was thinking I'd need to replace the wand. maybe I don't, now. Thank you so much😊
Now tried your method, milk is wonderful. your life hack is absolutely the best. now I will not change the panarella, saving $ 50, thanks a lot a lot 😀
Very helpful video. I have the same machine and tried to make silky smooth milk but no success, and after watching your video, I am making perfect latte with silky smooth milk.
just wanted to say thanks. been making real foamy unsatisfying boys for a while, and nailed a silky flat white first time after watching this. respect.
I have the same machine. I am with you up until the pouring of the milk. After that, I disagree. I usually pour my milk really slowly using a thin stream and the cup at 45 degrees. The aim is to preserve the dark, velvety surface of the coffee. Then as the milk reaches half full, I level the cup and slowly move the pouring stream of milk like a brush to makes the shapes I want. This way, you get a lovely contrast between the milk and the coffee. Just my two cents.
Thanks for this! I have been getting annoyed at getting too much froth in the jug. I thought it might have been because I use oat milk but possibly not!
Thank you! You've just made me relaise that I haven't actually been clicking the steam button before turning on the wand crank.. it's just been given me pure hot water and no bubbles rather than steam 😂 perfect, can't wait for my flat whites!!
Delonghi's machine is very good! I use Magnifica S and it tastes too good and I drink too much coffee. The video was very helpful! With love from Japan :)
Just to give an explanation of what happens is that the wide steam wand (panarello) has a pinhole in it that keeps airing the milk making it frothier than silkier. The idea is to close that hole to let it heat rather than air. I have a machine where I can take that off and have a one-hole steam wand at the very bottom. That I can use to first air the milk at the top and when i have enough microfoam I can soak it deeper to start swirling and heating the milk instead. (I'm still a newbie so please correct if wrong ;)
Hey dude, I am Italian, I just received yesterday my ec685. Been struggling to make a decent silky milk, so I was looking everywhere if it was just my fault or the machine. You made an outstanding video…and can’t wait to replicate it tomorrow morning(today I had more than 3 espressos only to make a decent one.. Will send you a feedback in the next days! Thanks a lot.
Two things 1. You should probably run water through the portafilter too not just the group head for better temperature stability 2. You probably want to look in to getting a unpressurised basket as you have a lot more control over the taste and it tastes way way better
@@mosquito9085 Well in theory it should be, but you may need some new clamps or circlip around the wand if you damage them during the change. Still you don't have to mod any "real" parts, just disassemble, put rancilio wand in place and assemble back together.
Yep, I performed the mod' to replace the panerello (the current steam wand which injects air) with a Rancilio Silvia steam wand. Definately worth it if you're capable with a screwdriver. Have a search in YT for the step by step guide, 1 year later, no problems.
Thanks. We were very tempted to try this mod, but ended up decided against it to retain the warranty on our machine. The Silvia wand is solid - glad to hear you’ve had no issues.
going to give this a try! I was doing it the other way around, starting with the hot milk then going to cappuccino mode. Also interesting you keep your spout near the top of the milk. I'd seen others saying the wand should go right to the bottom to get the milk swirling but I'm going to try your way. ATM my wand seems to want to keep boiling the milk with these big explosive bubbles. I've checked for blockages, I don't know what's going on!
The best way to get good froth milk from Dedica EC685 is to throw away the metal bit (Panarello) into the bin and use just the rubbery/silicone wand that sits inside it. Then a simple hack is needed to prevent it from falling off after 2-3 sec when the steam is introduced - put a cheap plastic clamp tie/band on the top part of this silicone wand and... that's it. Now you have a steaming wand that can froth milk for latte art :)
@@dronetr208 Hmm, from my experience this method gives the best results once you get a grip of it. Maybe your steaming technique (without a Panarello) needs a bit of practice? Just be patient and should be happy with the results :)
@@patriciaschneider-zioga2500 Use a clamp or twist tie to tighten it on the top. This should prevent coming off. I've been using it like this for more than 2 years.
Hallo from Thai fan. I bought this model since Dec..i have still not succeed to make Latte Art but i can make silky milk which different from you. Thanks for the tip!
The best improvement for me at this moment is non pressurised basket and a hand grinder. Also if you like a flat white, pay attention when buying a coffee on a profile or flavor notes. You don't want flat to have a sour taste, try to buy a coffee with taste like prunes, chocolate or red apple rather then more fresh notes like green apple, cherry, strawberry, etc.
I've also tried this, for some reason the first time I tried it I didn't know the rubber would fly off, and it didn't! It made a lovely latte with great textured milk. For some reason with the cable tie I just haven't been able to get it as good. It's actually not the opposite of the issue I had and it's not foaming enough, actually staying too milky!
Mine's been flying off too and I had wondered about using a rubber band - I'm so glad to read that someone has tried it and it worked! Thanks for the suggestion!
I have the exact machine, but when I push the far left button to start the extraction, it often just drips a bit and does nothing. I then have to push the same far left button 2-3 times before it starts the extraction process fully. Anyone know why it won't start the process after just one button push like it should?
I am a newbie and read about changing the milk wand for this EC685. May I just ask the experienced coffee makers that if I use the method this video is showing, there is basically no need to change the milk wand for EC685? Thanks in advance.
I tried reverse order ... I first frothed the milk and then when I switched to espresso the lights keep flashing. I then have to turn off and then turn back on and then the buttons are no longer flashing. I will go back to first making espresso before frothing the milk, but I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem?
Once you've finished steaming, press either the one cup or two cup buttons and then turn the steam knob to the on position and the machine will pump water through the boiler and out of the steam wand. Once the machine is cool enough, it should stop automatically. Turn the steam knob to the off position and then you can pull the shot
Thanks… I’ve followed your vid and countless others but I still end up getting really runny milk at the start of the pour and then just froth at the end… I thought this trick might be the solution for me but still the same results… has anyone else had the same experience? Any other tips out there??
This feels like when my friend's gave me the up, down, left, right, a,b cheat code from back in the day. Will definitely be trying this out. Question, what milk are you using? Cheers
Hi I have just opened this from box. Trying to use it for first time but no water is coming out of that filter thing when I press the cup symbol. Is it broken? If it makes a difference it is EC78X
Please could you help me with my problem in descaling the machine? I followed step by step the how to clean it but the orange light keeps blinking after descaling. What did I do wrong ? Thank you for any one’s help.
Capuchino mode add some air so you have 1 part foam and 1 part hot milk. The hot milk mode just heat the milk with steam without the air part for the foam.
Yes you can definitely use it for hot chocolate. I’ll admit I don’t use the steam wand, I use a separate milk frother because I couldn’t work it out, but I often use it for hot chocolate. And yes you definitely need water, as it uses steam (gaseous form of water) to froth the milk, that’s why it’s called a steam wand.
We usually grind specialty coffee ourselves, but if you need to buy branded/pre-ground Lavazza Rossa is a good/inexpensive coffee for everyday use with a pressurised basket. Try freshly ground speciality coffee if you can - you will not regret it!
If the milk thickness and the wand quality is the most important thing to me, should I go for a different machine? Maybe a separate milk frothing device? This is my budget though. I don’t need beautiful art just thick milk, the opposite of water.
I've just spent a lot of money on a twin-boiler Silva and a pricey grinder... but I still rate the Dedica as a great little machine, especially if you use this method to thicken your foam. Milk frothing devices are the opposite, giving you empty froth that immediately rises, leaving you with just hot coffee with a foam lid on it. This hack will give you that nice, cafe-quality mouth-feel of silky coffee. I have the older Dedica that doesn't allow this adjustment. If it did I may have just kept it instead of spending $2k on coffee gear ;)
I cheated and bought a Nespresso milk frother, after seeing one at my brother’s place. I got a really nice one, stainless steel chrome shaped like a milk jug. It’s great. I couldn’t for the life of me make milk with a steam wand. And I don’t seem to have cappuccino/hot milk adjustment on my Delonghi I think is Dedica model, it’s red. My mum had been steaming milk for years with the wand since she was given a Delonghi, different model much more manual and I can’t even make coffee in that one haha. When she tried my milk frother, she went out and bought one, a cheaper copycat version of Nespresso, and it works really well. I don’t really have a lot of time to fuss around with the steam wand, so this method works well. And I use ESE pods in my coffee machine which also saves a lot of time. I don’t have coffee every day so I like that they’re individually foil sealed, so the coffee doesn’t go off.
The best way to get good froth milk from Dedica EC685 is to throw away the metal bit (Panarello) into the bin and use just the rubbery/silicone wand that sits inside it. Then a simple hack is needed to prevent it from falling off after 2-3 sec when the steam is introduced - put a cheap plastic clamp tie/band on the top part of this silicone wand and... that's it. Now you have a steaming wand that can froth milk for latte art :)
This machine only uses for home or it is working for small coffee shops? I just thinking to buy this and using for small shop. Could you tell me, which brand you prefer??
my machine, makes a very loud sound (pounding sound) I hear yours in the background but it is very low, mine is super high and the machine gets very warm quickly. do you happen to know what could be the issue (i still can return it).
That's the water pump, it's pumping hot water/steam into the milk, mine is noisy too and I think his is, it's just further away from the mic when he made the video so you can't hear it as much.
With only 12-15g of coffee in the filter doesn’t the taste lack coffee flavor once you add milk? I have a delonghi ecp3420. Same pressurized filter and only able to get max 14g in there.
My 3420 also maxes at 14gr. How strong of course depends on bean, fineness, firmness of tramp. But I'm so pleased with what I can get out of my 3420. Sometimes I just enjoy the espresso straight, other times really milky, and everything in between at other times. Also with practice, I'm getting a pretty nice, silky milk going. I think that with practice and experimentation, the result I get from my 3420 is quite good. A lot of people snicker at the inexpensive DeLonghi machines, but I wonder if they're not rather underestimated by people who've not really given them a truly good try and put their skill (or practiced till they got some skill) into getting the best they can out of it. I grind beans fresh, and after the first couple of weeks, the shots and milk had gotten really good!
Thanks for the video, our machine is brand new and we find that when inserting the filter holder and locking in place it is very stiff and we need to hold onto the machine to stop it moving. Does it loosen over time or do we have a fault? Thanks
I have been trying from last two months to froth the milk like silky smooth but It's always runny. Any tips how long I need to froth it? I am using same machine.
Hi! I have a EC680 machine, but the coffee goes out much quicker than yours. I tried pressing as mush as possible with a coffee tamper, but that did not help. I am using the original filter "easy clean" (De'Longhi 5513281001_SML). The problem must be the coffee I use then? I tried lavazza espresso barista, Illy, Lavazza Oro, etc, but the problem still persists... Thank you very much
I think u should check the grind size... Grind finer a little bit with the same dose to slow down.. Just becareful not to choke up the stock pressurized basket though...
After about six tries my latte art is getting pretty wild...and I can barely type this..should have practiced with decaf. Great explanation and video.
😂😂
One scoop of coffee is for single use ?
😅😂
Hilarious, thanks for this one 😂
Great video! I was trying and trying to get silky milk with my Dedica and never succeeded but now, thanks to your tips I finally made it!!! 😄
Mee too
Wow this is exactly the same trick I've been using on my ec685! It's great to see others have discovered this handy trick too!
Same here. But it's still not a joy to use. Sooner or later I'm going to switch to a better machine.
@@nomissimo why is that?
@@nomissimo Just take off the thing and you have a perfect steam wand

Can you share the grind for the coffee? Is it too fine or coarse?
With the older one you can pull the portello thing off and just use the rubber - problem is it's very short, too short for most jugs.

nice hack... btw is it possible to change the steam wand something better for frothing?

I think that happens when you’ve put too much coffee in your filter/basket.
This only happens when there is alot of coffe in the basket try putting the basket empty does it have the same problem.
I have been trying from last two months to froth the milk like silky smooth but It's always runny. Any tips how long I need to froth it? I am using same machine.
Do you have your water temperature adjusted to high? And do you use full cream milk?
@@meryleastwood6977 , yes I did change the water temperature to high and use full cream milk.
Hi! I have a EC680 machine, but the coffee goes out much quicker than yours. I tried pressing as mush as possible with a coffee tamper, but that did not help. I am using the original filter "easy clean" (De'Longhi 5513281001_SML). The problem must be the coffee I use then? I tried lavazza espresso barista, Illy, Lavazza Oro, etc, but the problem still persists... Thank you very much
I think u should check the grind size... Grind finer a little bit with the same dose to slow down.. Just becareful not to choke up the stock pressurized basket though...
