When a Delonghi coffee machine experiences low pressure, it’s typically due to a malfunctioning pressure pump. In some cases, it might be a leak, as discussed earlier, but the pump may be clogged or broken at other times. If your Delonghi coffee machine flashes, we must follow some essential advice, although the final result will have nuances that will depend on the model in question. The fact is that not all machines have the same lights or the same behavior. If you need to descale your Delonghi coffee maker, the good news is that it won’t take long to complete the process, although if you are already experienced, you will do it almost by heart. The steps are similar whether it’s a manual Delonghi express or an automatic, but we’ve summarised them here just in case: Adjust the steamer dial to a higher setting. In some cases, it’s set too low, resulting in a correct process but inadequate air injection for a creamy froth. For safety, the Dedica EC680 has an automatic sleep mode that programs the machine to shut off after 9 minutes of operation. Someone wanting to make many beverages in a row may find this cumbersome, as the button to bring the machine out of “sleep” will need to be pushed every 9 minutes.
