I bought used, and despite them saying there were problems with it, I simply cleaned it before first use and it seems fine (but it was really gunked up). This video is going to be a great help in setting it up. Thanks!

@@TomsCoffeeCorner that makes sense, as I do understand this machine is meant to be beginner friendly. I do have a somewhat decent burr grinder (though the Eureka you’ve shown looks amazing, but probably not justifiable for me at the moment).

What's the difference between "1 cup" or "2 cup" buttons if you're normally using them to make coffe? Does the 2 increase the speed/duration of water flow or is there no difference, it just makes sense to use it only if you're using a big cup?

And takes a long time to start coming out. I can never seem to get more than a small amount of crema. Im not sure if this is a grinder setting for the coffee i have or a myriad of other potential issues like not even pressure, too short of a brew time so i need to press the button again which i assume resets the pressure as well.

(keep holding the button to pump the water) - every 20 seconds switch the lever between steam mode and coffee mode - do this process for about 2 L of water. after doing this, i was able to reprogram the brewing time.

Hello Tom, I think I encountered all the possible issues today when it comes to the settings and adjustments. I am using a decent grinder at its finest grind, yet still I cannot exceed 23 seconds of extraction, while using 18 grams of coffee. Since I can manipulate only coarseness in the grinder and water volume my options seem to be limited. When I lower the water volume my extraction time is just around 15 seconds When I tamper harder I loose the channeling When I go back to factory settings I get 1:5 ratio, because the machine spits out 100 grams of water. is there anything that comes to your mind to play around with?

Hi Tom, great video and detailed explanations, Thank You 😀 I am curious, how do you know which water hardness to choose? I have no idea of the water hardness I have 😕 I use carbon filtered tap water. Also I noticed the steam light is flashing orange after only 6 weeks or so of use ( 1 cup per day ) suggesting a descale is required, which seems too soon! I wonder if this has to do with the water hardness default setting? I have the new EC885M model, by the way. Thank You very much 😀

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

Hey SB, I think there are strips which can be used to determine how hard your water is. If you are using filtered water anyway, most of the minerals should have been removed. I would choose "medium" hardness in that case. How are you liking the 885 model?

@SB-fd1kv 2 года назад

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Ok thanks, that's a good idea Tom, I will look into that and establish the water hardness I have, I will select the medium one for now. Still, it's strange that the machine would be needing a descale so soon! The 885 is ok for a coffee machine, it's the first one i have owned, so can't really compare to anything else, looking at videos you have done and others, an upgrade to a non-pressurised filter or blind filter portafilter would be a good idea.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

@@SB-fd1kv Well, the descaling is just a count of extractions, so there is no sensor for scale or anything. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Regular descaling is a good idea for all appliances though, even water kettles and coffee machines. Yes, a bottomless portafilter and non-pressurized basket would be two worthy upgrades. Cheers!

Just hit the 1 or 2 cup button, and flip the steam lever, to emit hot water out of the spout, and that will cool the thermoblock down.

Hi there. Just bought the latest 885M with the new "standard" steam wand. Being curious, I unscrewed the tip and noticed there was a very fine inner silicone/plastic tube that would reach the end of the steam wand tip. Wonder if this is to increase steam pressure or is it to control hot water. Anyone know? Cheers

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

Hi Anne! This is most likely to make the steam wand a non-burn steam wand, that is not hot to the touch.

@---qr7nq 2 года назад

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks Tom. Not particularly impressed with the steam wand. I usually don't have any issues creating smooth as silk "paint" when steaming, but the 885M is proving a hard nut to crack, even after 2 litres of milk. Was toying with the idea of removing the last 1-1.5cm of the tube to see if it would lower the pressure a little. Also, what is a good bottomless portafilter with double single-walled basket from either Amazon US or Aliexpress? In NZ so anything shipped from Europe, including the UK, is far too expensive. Thanks :-)

@TomsCoffeeCorner 7 месяцев назад

How many mineral deposits you have in your water: calcium, magnesium, etc. The more you have, the more starts to collect on metal heating elements, and eventually you clog your machine. So you have to descale.
