A little specific

How to use a Saeco coffee machine? It is recommended to start the process of making a drink in Saeco by adjusting the grinding of coffee beans, which can only be controlled on a rotating coffee machine. With all this, it is recommended to take into account that very finely ground coffee quickly clogs the strainer.

Specifically, before making a specific drink, it is recommended to set the amount of coffee per serving, the water hardness level (from 1 to 4), its temperature (from 90 to 98 degrees) and quantity. All options are set by clicking buttons on the toolbar in accordance with the annotation for the device.

How to use a Nespresso coffee machine? The Nespresso capsule machine is easy to operate. First, by pressing the button, turn on the device. Fill the tank with water up to the mark. Next, open the capsule receiver. We insert a capsule with pressed unstained coffee or the addition of dried milk, depending on your preference, into the hole and close the capsule receptacle. We place a cup under the nozzle and press the button to make a drink. We wait for the cup to be filled with the drink and enjoy its taste and smell.

How to use a Bosch coffee machine? Working with a Bosch automatic coffee machine is simple and straightforward. The main thing is to follow the instructions correctly. First, pour water into a special reservoir. If you did not monitor the water level and the container is empty, the button responsible for this will light up on the display. Fill the coffee container with beans. Click the “On” button. Using the switch, we set the coffee strength (the amount of coffee per serving) and the amount of water. Place the cup under the nozzle and press the “Start” button. The coffee brewing process has begun. After 30 seconds, the drink will be ready.

Use an intuitive control panel

The question of how to use a coffee machine usually arises among two categories of users:

• for those who have just purchased the device and are accustomed to using it without looking at the instructions;
• these may be users who do not have access to the supplied operating instructions.

For both, we can recommend the following:

• If you use a serviced Delonghi machine, you need to add coffee, install the capsule and add water. This can be done without instructions by looking at the buttons and opening containers;
• if necessary, you can study the rules of use in more detail to extend the service life, since violation of the conditions leads to premature damage to functional elements.

Delonghi Nespresso capsule coffee machine

To make a couple cups of coffee, you can simply follow three steps without worrying too much about getting it right:

• add coffee to the receiver; when using the capsule version, the capsule is installed;
• add water;
• select an option on the control panel.

We invite you to watch the video and evaluate user reviews of a similar Delonghi Magnifica coffee machine:

Using a coffee machine - in a nutshell

For those who don’t want to waste time watching, we’ll describe this process briefly. Let us immediately note that this model is equipped only with a mechanical cappuccino maker. If you love a good cappuccino, we recommend purchasing the automatic model Delonghi ECAM35X 55. The capsule version is available under the name Nespresso.

General principles for using Magnifica:

• note the cup holder on top. It is designed to maintain the temperature of the coffee;
• Next to the stand on the top there is a compartment for ground coffee; you need to add the required amount to it using a measuring spoon;
• On the left side there is a cover for the coffee bean compartment with a grinding regulator (it can only be adjusted during operation). Users note that this preparation option is less troublesome and produces tastier coffee;
• on the control panel you can set what kind of coffee you want to make, single or double;
• The water barrel is located on the right side of the Magnifica coffee machine;
• Using the regulator, you can set the strength of the drink and the volume of the coffee portion used to prepare the drink;
• the panel has a special button for heating the steam that froths the milk for the cappuccino maker;
• The panel also contains service buttons for washing the machine.

Magnifica S has a larger compartment for coffee beans (250 g), allows you to add up to 2 liters of water, and also prepare two cups of coffee at the same time, adjusting the strength. This is an improved version that takes into account the wishes of consumers.

Magnifica S is equipped with an improved grinder with high-strength burrs and allows you to choose up to 13 grinding levels. There are a number of automatic service functions that make it easier to maintain the machine.

Esam 04.110 allows you to automatically prepare a range of coffee drinks, espresso, cappuccino, latte, ristretto, lungo, but manually. This is a more affordable model for those consumers who want to save money. Esam 04.110 allows you to prepare high-quality espresso thanks to Tubeless, which picks up freshly ground coffee.

You can see in practice how to properly use the Delonghi cappuccino maker in the video.

Device setup and implementation

Regardless of what kind of coffee machine you got: built-in or freestanding; pump or boiler; carob, pod, capsule, espresso or automatic; machine Dolce Gusto, Delonghi, Saeko or Bosch, you first need to learn how to set up a coffee machine. The attached annotation will help with this. Each device has its own characteristics, but there are common points that we will talk about.

General nuances of the household coffee machine option:

1. Install the device.
2. Before using the coffee machine, you must clean all dust from all reservoirs.
3. Connect the device to electricity and water supply (if the purchased model provides for this).
4. Turn on the coffee machine as if it were a Delonghi, Bosch or Saeco by pressing a special button. When the device is turned on, it will be quite noisy for 15 seconds (only during the first turn on).
5. Pour cool water into the tank (the volume of water containers, depending on the device model, varies between 0.8-5 liters). Why cool? To avoid damage to plastic parts. During the process of boiling water, scale appears on the heating elements of the machine (Delonghi, Nespresso, Saeco, etc.). To minimize these deposits, we recommend using filtered water.
6. It is necessary to prepare coffee in a coffee machine, for example the Delonghi brand, at a certain water temperature. Which can be adjusted using the regulator located on the front panel of the device D. It indicates low, low, medium, highest and highest temperatures. Coffee is prepared at a temperature of 90-98 degrees.
7. The first water must be drained and then the tank must be filled with water again.
8. The process of making coffee in a machine, whether Dolce Gusto, Nespresso or Bosch, involves adjusting the water hardness level. To brew coffee, you also need to set the amount of water per serving.
9. How to make coffee without beans? If you have an integrated coffee grinder, fill it with beans and adjust the grind size. If this is not provided, use ground coffee. Some models are designed for the use of capsules with compressed coffee, which are recommended to be placed in a special compartment before preparing the drink.
10. The amount of coffee per serving is also adjustable. To make espresso in a coffee machine you will need 8 grams of raw materials, respectively, a double espresso is prepared from 16 grams of coffee.
11. Before making coffee, we recommend warming up the cup by pouring boiling water over it and placing it under the nozzle.
12. Decide on the type of coffee and choose the appropriate program. The brewed drink will fill the cup within 30 seconds.
13. While machines like the Delonghi “remember” how to brew coffee, more conventional models require an additional option.
14. If the coffee machine is not used for more than 15 minutes, it will go into standby mode.

DeLonghi EC 685 W: subtleties and rules

A carob coffee maker consists of a water tank and a removable compartment for crushed beans, through which boiling water passes. Such models prepare amazing espresso, from which you can already make a cappuccino or latte. Some coffee makers, like the EC 685 W, come with a cappuccino maker. The part transforms milk into thick foam.

The horn machine is designed for 1–2 users. To get espresso you need:

1. Fill the cone. The coffee maker does not have a built-in coffee grinder, so use ready-made coffee from the store or grind it in a separate coffee grinder. Take 7 g for 1 glass, 14 g for 2 glasses. The quantity can be easily adjusted using special markings applied to the inner walls of the filter. Press down lightly if you don't want too strong a flavor. Press harder if you prefer a bitter taste and value strength.
2. Place a horn under the water spouts. Secure it by turning it to the right. Don't forget to put a cup or glass. The coffee maker does not have a special jug. If you want to preserve the taste of the drink, you can preheat the cups on a special stand. Heat enhances aroma and improves taste.
3. Press the power button. Use factory settings. If you are not satisfied with the temperature or volume, you can set your own parameters. Wait until the boiling water passes through the bean compartment and absorbs the aroma and beneficial properties.

If you want a cappuccino, a cappuccino maker will help you. You will need a large jug (at least 300 ml). It is best to order it from DeLonghi. Pour cold milk into a jug. Turn on the frother spout and start dispensing steam. Immerse the part in milk. Wait until the ingredient acquires a creamy structure. Rotate the milk container from top to bottom until the product triples in volume. Don't forget to brew espresso. Add the foamed product to the base. There is enough milk for 1 glass. If you need more, repeat the operation of the cappuccino maker.

DeLonghi coffee makers make it easy to create amazing espresso and coffee drinks. You can order DeLonghi EMKM 6 B and DeLonghi EC 685 W in our online store.

Cleaning and caring for your machine

Maintenance of coffee machines includes two stages:

Features of descaling a Delonghi coffee machine will depend on the type of machine:

1. Carob coffee maker - most often these models are not equipped with an automatic built-in cleaning system. You need to take care of this yourself. After each brewing, the horn must be rinsed; no coffee residues should remain in it. Once a month you need to clean the coffee horn from coffee oils. To remove scale, you need to use a special product that is poured into the water tank. Then you need to turn the device on and off so that the product can dissolve all the scale that has formed in the system.
2. Automatic - these models are equipped with built-in cleaning systems. The machine itself will signal that it needs to be cleaned. The washing principle is the same as in carob models.
3. Cappuccino maker - you need to monitor these models especially carefully. After each use, you need to rinse the system with water, since milk is a perishable product.

The main problem with coffee machines is scale. The operation of the device depends on what kind of water is used. For preparation, you can only use clean drinking water; mineralized and artesian water is not suitable. It is recommended to pass it through a filter.

The harder the water, the more scale it will form.

What else can you spin?

Depending on the model and brand of coffee machine, you can configure:

• Water temperature. The temperature of the water used to process the ground coffee affects the taste of the drink. If you increase the water temperature above 93°, bitterness will appear in the taste of the drink; if you set the option regulator below 85°, there will be underextraction. In economical models, maintaining the accuracy of water temperature is more difficult or, simply, unrealistic.
• Serving size. Before making coffee, you can order the amount of coffee and water per serving. In some models, you can configure the choice to be remembered, and for subsequent use, simply select the item in the menu.
• Hardness of water. Hard water is the main bane of coffee machines. The resulting scale worsens the taste of the coffee and, if not cleaned promptly, can lead to breakdown. How can you tell when it’s time to decalcify, since the degree of water hardness varies? The machine itself cannot determine the quality of the water used. The kit includes a tester, with which you need to find the hardness of the water before turning on the coffee maker for the first time. Depending on the test results, you need to adjust the hardness level. Depending on these options, the coffee machine will signal when cleaning is required.

So that no matter what home appliance you enjoy with the fruits of your work for a long time, do not be too lazy to read the instructions before pressing the “turn on” button for the first time, and not after the waste container is jammed and water flows out from anywhere but from the spout , instead of coffee in the cup there is outright slop, or something else came out with the device, indicating that some kind of problem has occurred.

We explain how to turn on the coffee machines.

Many people, after purchasing household devices, cannot understand how to handle the equipment. And even the abstract turns out to be incomprehensible to them. But modern manufacturers are actively improving and simplifying methods for handling complex units. There are fewer buttons, and the control system is completely automated.

To start a new coffee machine, you can not only read the instructions for it, but also listen closely to the sales consultant during the purchase. But most users don’t read the annotations and don’t listen to the consultants. Then they have to figure it out without the help of others.

Before turning on any equipment, you must first install it correctly. Choose a level, air-ventilated surface. And so that children do not have access to the unit, as well as to the socket and plug.

Warranty service

The manufacturer's warranty on coffee machines is provided for two years. Many large household appliance hypermarkets offer an additional warranty for an additional fee. Machine repair may be required in the following cases:

• water does not heat up;
• no water supplied;
• no steam;
• the device does not turn on;
• the car is leaking;
• Coffee does not pour or does not flow well.

To carry out repairs under warranty, you must contact the service center, providing the device and warranty card.

Service centers

You can handle minor damage yourself. The operating instructions for the models contain detailed descriptions of what problems consumers may encounter and how they are solved.

But if there are regular malfunctions or serious problems, it is recommended to contact specialized centers for repairing household appliances. A list of service centers that repair Delonghi equipment can be found on the manufacturer’s official website.

Also, a list of repair services that buyers can contact is included in the warranty card, which is issued when purchasing equipment. It is not recommended to use unverified services .

Before sending the equipment for repair, it is better to read the reviews and ratings.

Proper use of the Delonghi technique will allow you to enjoy a pleasant drink for a long time at home or in the office. The device will become a real assistant in your kitchen!

What you need to know before you start

Before you start working with certain devices, it is necessary to identify a number of important points. The operating instructions for the DeLonghi coffee maker require compliance with the following precautions.

• Due to the fact that during operation the device emits a large amount of heat, you should not place any electrical appliances or objects sensitive to high temperatures directly next to it.
• It is not recommended to install the coffee maker next to water taps, as it is unacceptable for liquid to get inside the structure. You should also ensure that the air humidity in the room does not exceed normal limits.
• The device should not be used in rooms where the temperature is too low. This is due to the fact that due to freezing of the water that is loaded into the device, it can be damaged and become unusable.
• When placing the coffee maker in one place or another, take into account the fact that the electrical cord of the device should not be kinked, twisted, or touch sharp objects and corners.
• Before connecting the device to the outlet, make sure that the voltage in the power source corresponds to what is indicated in the instructions and on the factory markings.

How to get started

To begin with, it is worth keeping in mind that the new device may contain traces of coffee inside. This is due to the fact that each device is tested at the factory.

Pay extreme attention to the water hardness factor, because the quality and durability of the coffee maker depends on it.

The DeLonghi coffee maker operating instructions recommend following the following sequence of actions when you start working with the device.

• Connect the device to a power source with a given voltage level;
• Next, you should select the working language that will be used in the future.
• The next step is to fill a special container with water. When the action is completed, the vessel should be returned to its original location.
• Next you need to turn on the heating mode. When the operation is completed, hot water will start flowing into the cup.
• Please note that it is impossible to achieve a satisfactory result the first time. Only after 5 servings of each type of drink have been prepared will it be possible to judge the quality.
• It is worth noting that when you turn on the device for the first time, prompts regarding the sequence of actions will appear on its screen.

You need to press the cursor button until the function name appears on the screen. After turning on the economy mode, it will take effect exactly 1 minute.
