Sounds like there is maybe something wrong with you machine. On my DeLonghi I do experience inconsistency in steam pressure and temperature when steaming. When that happens I just keep on steaming and the pressure recovers afther a couple of seconds. If steam option stops out of its own, then maybe it's good to check your machine.

It can be a lot of things. If the extraction time is less than 25 sec, grind a step finer. It that is oké it can be the coffee. It it's also not the coffee it can be that the pressure is to low. In that case contact your supplier.

@@dutchhomebarista great,thanks for your help
I've had my DeLonghi Dedica for 18 months. As I brew the espresso, water new streams from the steaming wand, even though it's set to the "off" position. Other videos suggest it's a problem with a gasket or o-ring. I have opened up the machine, but I don't know which gasket to replace, i.e., where it's found inside the machine. Can anyone provide guidance, ideally by referring to the diagram of the inside of the machine?
Thanks for the video! That coffee surely looks amazing. How difficult difficult is to replace the steam wand? How much better is than the original (I am not very fond of it)
Your welcome! Repacing the steam wand is a bid technical but not that hard to do. There are good step by step video's on youtube on how to do the modification (search for 'delonghi steam wand modification'). The new wand gives more focused steam. I also can get good results with the original "little black rubber wand", but the replacement is much better. (The wand is a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand, you can find it on ebay)
I've a question:where we can Open the water case of this coffee maker?(covered water case not glass)
It's on the back on top of the water container. You can also remove the container and fill it under the tap.
But,there isn't any container it's straight black
@@dutchhomebarista it's so different kind of espresso maker,it's ,,polaris"
@@NihalBadirxanova sorry I think I don't understand your question.
@@dutchhomebarista I mean it's back is all black and on top there is a lid
Perfect👍
Thanks
Hi does that amount just make the one cup of coffee or can you make another from that? Thanks
Hi L G, just one cup of espresso.
@@dutchhomebarista thank you, I’m actually trying to make a good cappuccino. Do you fill the ground coffee to the brim of the cap for one cappuccino and is it double or single shot?
@@LG-de8nr I use 8 to 9 grams of coffee (or just fill the single shot basket). I always use the double shot button and stop the extraction manualy by pushing the button again.
@@dutchhomebarista thanks a lot
@@LG-de8nr succes and have fun;-)
Why did you steam a separate jug? Just to clean it?
Transfering the milk makes the milk more smooth. And the second jug is bigger, which makes pouring easier.
Hi sir where did you purchase the special spout?
I bought it on ebay. It's a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand.
Thanks.I bought it al ready via Lazada cost 1150 pesos.
hi, what grind should we get the beans? is a coarse grind okay?
Best to use a fine grind size.
Can I ask what is your grinder?
The grinder is a GEFU Lorenzo.
You change your wand right?
I replaced the original wand by a "rancilio silvia" steam wand". You can buy the wand on ebay or anazon. On youtube there are video's on how to do the modification. If you are a bit technical but not that hard to do. It took me ~30 minutes.
Do you use the basket that came with the machine or have you swapped it out?
In this video I use the standaard basket. Currently I use an open basket.
Where did u get this streamer ?
I found it at ebay. Search for 'Rancilio Silvia V1/V2'
How much milk?
~160 ml cold milk
What’s the name of grinder ?
It's a GEFU Lorenzo
Dutch Home Barista How and where can I get it?😢
@@shahadahmed683 I bought it in a local store in the Netherlands. Best chance you find it on Amazon or Ebay.
Dutch Home Barista thank u so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello, i have a little question: i have search this machnie on the net but the buse has different and more big... I would like this machine with the same buse, where are you buy this model please ? (sorry for my english... ^^')
I changed the steam wand by a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand. On youtube there are video's on how to do the modification. It's a bit technical but not hard to do.
@@dutchhomebarista
OK ! It's not a "buse" but "steam wand" ! 😄 Thank you very much for your advice !
Are you using the pressurized pod that came with it? I bought a non-pressurized pod to try out.
Hi Phillip, in this video I used the standard pressurized pod that came whit the machine. (See my DeLonghi playlist for the non pressurized baskets)
@@dutchhomebarista Thank you. :-)
What grinder is this ?
The ginder is a GEFU Lorenzo.
Hi, what’s the brand of your coffee grinder?
Hi Katrina, it's a GEFU Lorenzo. It's not the best ginder for espresso (the grind steps are a little to big.)
I would 100% recommend picking up a bottomless portafilter and a proper basket for this machine as it seems like you’re using the pressurised basket you won’t get great results with that
Thank you for the feedback. I now have one. Indeed much better:-)
@@dutchhomebarista where did you buy it, i tried contact de longi sellers in Croatia they said it is not possible to buy it for this machine😥. And also how did you change the steam wand and how can i buy it? Thanks
@@marijauric5860 I bought the machine in a local shop in the Netherlands. I changed the steam wand by a Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 wand (bought it at ebay)

What is this grinder?
Hi Johnny, it's a GEFU Lorenzo.
Wat goed. Leuke tutorial. Kun je ook vertellen waar je de stoompijp heb gekocht, en hoe je die hebt gemonteerd. Groeten.
Hi Gokhan, bedankt! De stoompijpje heb ik gekocht op ebay. Het is een Silvia Rancilio V1/V2 stoompijpje. Op youtube staan video's over de montage, zoek op "delonghi steam wand modification".
@@dutchhomebarista Dankjewel, je maakt onze koffiebeleving beter!
