Thanks 🙏 mine wasn't blocked, it had never been used! For some reason the single cup one has always worked. Finally got fed up (after 7 months of using the single cup one 🤣) , did a bit of a google and this was the first one that popped up. 7 months of pain fixed in 1m31s 🙈
Thank you! This kept happening about every 3 weeks! They should fix this problem. Anyway, Problem solved with a hammer and a small nail then had to pound the inside to lower the metal sharpness but worked and happy again. Has anyone told you today that you are a star!? ⭐️
nearly 2 years I've had the dedica and the two scoop filter never worked. never worried as I use a lungo mug and one scoop enough. however today had to make a large coffee for someone and had to do two singles, so onto RU-vid and eureka. just used a small tack and a hammer and what do you know coffee flowing fine. Tx for this post. also had an issue with water leaking from sides of dispenser about 6 months ago onto you tube and looked like O-Ring needed replacing. ordered one and simple replacement. between that and this like having a new machine 😂
This easy, quick fix worked like a charm! As others have commented, such a blockage might have another cause, like using coffee that is too finely ground or packing too firmly. In my case, I would not have thought of this solution on my own. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Our single shot basket used to work and at some point it stopped working while we only used the double shot for a few weeks due to having guests. I didn't understand what went wrong until I found this video. Now it works perfectly fine and it took me only 3 minutes to fix it - no special tools needed! Thank you!!
Following these videos I changed the pump and valve and was disappointed that the problem was not solved. I normally buy beans and grind myself, but on this occasion ordered expresso ground in error. I found enought beans for one cup and groung these, perfect results. The problem was the coffee was ground too fine. So check your coffee first or better still only buy beans and grind yourself.
I had the same issue, with the portafilter and coffee, the machine was working with clearly low sound vibration, so I started it without portafilter and it was working properly, so I turned the machine off for 10-15 minutes, then I watched your video, I checked that all the filters are good, I put coffee in the portafilter and I placed it and everything worked. Strange dedica bug, but anyway the machine is great and the coffee is amazing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I tried so many other fixes, and was about to send it in for repair when I came upon your video. You totally saved me! Thank you for making this video. It’s so helpful. I love when I can fix things myself!
This is the followed up of my comment written 2 weeks ago about water no flowing out due to grind size issue. After having watched a video from Lifestyle Lab abt adding paper filter at the bottom of the puck, I tried out the same method but instead using non-woven tea filter and the result was surprising. The problem of water not flowing out from filter cup has been solved. The paper filter will work but I use non-woven filter because it can be reused a few times after cleaning.
If the pressure valve, group gasket seal etc are in good condition, making the hole of the filter cup bigger will not solve the problem of watering not flowing out smoothly. Even I made the hole to 3mm diameter and tamped the coffee powder loosely (assuming the same amount of coffee power in the filter cup), coffee still could not flow out smoothly, likes something got stuck inside. After a few attempts, I realized the problem was due to the grind size of the coffee powder.
Да есть такая проблема. Случается, если не чистить после каждого заваривания. Бездонный портафильтр - избавит от этой проблемы. Это же техника. Почему все думают что за автомобилем нужно ухаживать, а за кофемашиной- нет? У кого есть прямые руки это не проблема. Аппарат достойный.
Need to test this. Just bought my machine and it stops every time when i try to make espresso. I have tried less tamping and diffirent grind espressos. But it wont work. Hope that its only the filter that dont work.
@@woodsideCraig I made a larger hole using a nail and it works better. However buying a grinder with grind options can help to get evenly grinded coffee for best flow.
Yeah this only describes the problem with the filter. First place to check out. But after a couple years, De Longhi machines typically lose pressure, through the pump/valve without any filter basket. So the advice suggestion is to replace the 15 mbar pressure valve (rather than the pump motor). It has been commented that these valves are the first things to fail on De Longhi machines in use. I have previously ordered and received a pump and valve set. The YT demos suggest that De Longhi have a lot of secure slotted screws to under to get access to the inside. When I attempted on a previous machine, it was so rusted through, and awkward, I decided to ditch the machine. The valve replacement is then straightforward according to the videos. But since I am now having pump through problems with my latest machine I will have another attempt to dissemble and refit a new valve this this weekend.
