Common complaints

“What is causing Delonghi dedica doing this ? Is this normal? What caused the coffee to come out like this? The coffee was not as good as it was when I bought it, and it wasn't like that when I purchased it The problem remains even after the machine has been descaled.”

positiveespresso “I present to you my endgame coffee machine - Lelit Mara X”This machine exceeds my expectations, coming from a Delonghi Dedica, I was never sure on what I was missing in the cup. Having the Mara X for a month now, I understand! What a joy to be able to have a super balanced cup of Light Roast Ethiopian coffee, whereas before with Dedica was limited to dark roast and even then the consistency was lacking. All in all, I'm in love! The only downside is feel like pulled the trigger too early, Lelit is holding an event mid October for it's 40 years and they probably will update the Mara X then. I will try my best not to have FOMO 😅 Next step for me will be to add flow control, anyone has experience with it on Mara X?

neutralespresso “Glad I went Barista Touch over Bambino Plus + grinder”I’ve struggled away with a Nespresso machine and Moka pot for years and decided that this year I’d finally get a decent espresso set up. I’ve hovered in this group for months, learning about the best machines at various prices, how to dial in, upgrades, etc. I finally settled on a Bambino Plus and something like a Eureka Mignon, but decided I’d wait for Black Friday sales so it wasn’t quite as much of a shock to my wife when I told her what I’d spent. Well months I patiently waited for Black Friday to finally come around, absolutely convinced the Bambino would be in the Sage sales. IT WAS NOT. However, their Barista Touch had a really nice saving and I had a 15% code from Coffee Kev to go on top, so I went back on everything I’d previously decided and went for an all-in-one solution at £650 (reduced from £1100). I was a little worried about the grinder and the quality of shots I’d get vs a stand alone grinder (largely due to the general consensus in here), but I’d seen it had slightly better (Baratza) burrs on this machine so I took the risk. The machine arrived and the very first thing I did was take the plastic out of the portafilter and put a 20g IMS basket in it. I set the internal grind setting to 4 (it came on 6) then dialled in some shots as per the advice one here. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Lovely espresso and even auto-foam does a good job for latte art (which I’m starting to pick up). So happy that I ended up going this route as a neat all in one solution and just wanted to share. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be even better coffee with a better grinder, but I’m damn happy so thought I’d do a PSA that it’s not all doom and gloom with these machines. Cheers!

neutralespresso “My budget beginner setup”Hi all, first time poster to this sub, but I got my coffee station setup (with the help of my husband) and I’m really proud of it and wanted to share. I didn’t think a proper espresso setup was accessible for me because money isn’t super plentiful right now as I’m a SAHM and well life is expensive. But coffee is my little treat each day. Not in order but basically my setup consists of: 1. Delonghi Stilosa from marketplace ($60 it was used 5 times prior) 2. Manual grinder from Amazon ($50 - I can find the exact name if anyone is interested) 3. Scale from Amazon ($13 - wish I’d spent a little more here this one isn’t great but it’s thin enough for my machine) 4. Milk pitcher ($13 - also Amazon) 5. Tools set ($35 - Amazon, not necessary but helpful) (Not included in this breakdown but the gooseneck kettle is for pour over which I also love) All in Canadian $$ 🇨🇦 but basically my whole setup that is actually pulling really good shots is less than $200 including some really good local beans. When I’m back to work eventually I will upgrade my machine and such but being able to get a full setup that works well for under $200 feels amazing. I’m making coffee that tastes like my local coffee shops.

neutralindiacoffee “Coffee Grinder and Portafilter suggestions for my Delonghi”Hi Guys! I've finally upgraded my Coffee setup with a new espresso machine Delonghi EC-890 and trying to get the optimum setup for my espresso machine. I'm currently using default pressurised portafilter and planning to upgrade to bottomless. Previously I used to brew my Coffee in a Moka pot so I just got a basic manual grinder of Bison. Please suggest me a decent grinder, I've seen many suggestions for C3S but as per ChatGPT it's not great for bottomless portafilter is that true? I have heard lot about 1zpresso, kingrinder and timemore but unsure on the model and which one is best for my machine. My budget for the grinder is around 10,000. And I'm also looking for a bottomless portafilter which is not too expensive. Currently Amazon's options don't have much reviews so unsure on which one to pick. Any other trusted online sites also appreciated. Thanks.

neutralespresso “Beginner advice - espresso machine! [€200]”That “Breville” machine is NOT the same Breville you may see mentioned frequently on this sub. It’s a different brand taking advantage of the fact that they owned the copyright to the name in your region before the Breville we discuss here entered the market. If you’re interested in buying a Bambino, Bambino plus, etc, those are sold under the name “Sage” in your region.
