The Delonghi Stilosa ranks with the ECP 3420 as one of the best selling espresso machines on Amazon. Is that because of the low price, or because of the quality drink it can provide, or both? In this video, we take an in depth look at the Delonghi Stilosa EC260, in both basic and advanced mode.

Hey Tom! Great video, i bought the Stilosa and several accessories based on this video. Loving it, but im having one problem that im hoping you can help with. Im using the bottomless portafilter and the double basket you recommended, but the basket gets stuck in the grouphead virtually every time i use it. Is this something youve encountered, and do you know how to solve this issue?

Thank you Tom; that Stilosa is inviting. I too have the K4 grinder (as well as a Normcore). But, I'm still experimenting with the K-4 grinder's settings. I most often use dark-medium roast beans and would greatly appreciate the K-4 number setting (starting from the actual #0) of your "one full revolution around" grind setting used here. Btw, I currently use an older, only partially modified Gaggia Classic. Thanks & keep up your great videos!

Hi, i’m running this setup for over a year now and the machine is holding strong despite the low price. Got myself a doublespouted portafilter beside the botomless one so i can split the shots and the only concern is the cleareance the double spout takes to use taller cups, but just remove the drip tray and away we go. About the steam wand it’s a bit of a learning curve but because it’s bot that powerfull you can correct yourself along the way, and i am able to pour some latte art

My Delonghi Magnifica has a 2-function panarello with the usual sleeve you slide down for foam or leave up for warm milk. I have found, however, that if you leave it up then you can use it as a straight steam wand to produce a perfectly creditable foam with bubbles small enough to draw wee pictures with. I actually like it better than the wand on my Barista Express, which gets so hot that the milk cakes on it before you have a chance of getting a damp cloth onto it.

ecp3420 and ec230bk are exactly the same internally. ec230bk already comes with a non-pressurised basket and an 'advanced' steam wand - no need for modification. I own an ec230bk myself. I flush the water untill the green light turns off, wait about 21-29 seconds and start the pump, while the green light is still off. The water gets heated during the process thus compensating for the incoming cold water from the tank. The light turns green somewhere in the middle of the shot. This way the puck doesn't get overheated in the beginning and is properly extracted in the middle and no need to install PID. Great review as always, cheers from Russia.

This may be a good tip for a future related video. I wanted to try the 'advance mode' with my Stilosa but I didn't want to pay out for the open-bottom portafilter (PF). It is super-easy to convert the pressurized PF to open-bottom. Each of the baskets provided with the machine can be easily taken apart (and put back together). Use your fingers to unscrew the black plastic 'nut'. Remove the screen and gasket. Pull off the little plastic part that is between the screen and the bottom of the basket. Now you have just the metal screen. Put the gasket on it, put it back into the PF and .... VIOLA, an open PF !!!!!! I tried it and it WORKED. >>>>> My opinion: I got a better TASTE with the open PF, but the pressurized basket delivered a better crema. My feeling is that the open PF will be my choice, once I 'dial in' the correct grind and puck-pressure to get more crema. :):)

When I'm at work I use the professional espresso machine and bean grinder to make myself an Americano. I prefer to keep running the water through the puck long after you'd stop for an espresso. The Stilosa in advanced mode looks like it ticks all the boxes for me, I'm very tempted to get one.

A little tip/hack if you have a expresso machine with a 4 shot basket. I have a mr coffee express machine which has a 4 shot basket portafilter. It fits perfectly in my Delonghi Stilosa, and makes 4 shots, instead of the 2 shots which is the max you can make at once with the filter from Delonghi. BUT… there is one Con: You will notice dripping water from the side of the portafilter, but it’s an easy clean up, and you get 4 shots instead of 2. Great for company, otherwise just use the included 2 shot basket.
@giancarco
@giancarco Год назад
Hi Tom, nice video as always! Did you know that some variants of the stilosa came with a proper steam wand? I found a model time ago but I ended up to buy the dedica :D Also, I think you can depressurize the filter by unscrewing the block ( I'm not sure, I saw some videos of some old DeLonghi models that come with that, and it was possible )

I’ve had this machine for 6 months now. I have a 51mm bottomless portafilter for this machine. It can hold 20 grams of ground espresso beans and I can a great extraction for this machine. If you’re an entry level espresso machine user 100 percent would recommend this machine. Amazon has 51mm portafilters that fit this machine very very well.

Not a bad machine, but I could not get two consistent shots in a row. Figured out the steam mod myself, I may try it again with an unpressurized filter, it seemed to work well for you. It may turn out to be a decent backup for my Gaggia.
@PintoSixty
@PintoSixty Год назад
I own a Stilosa and discovered not too long after owning it that the temperatures for the espresso, boiler and milk are highly inconsistent. I have to play games with the machine in order to get the temps right. For instance, after the boiler warming light is lit, I have to run about 10 seconds of water until that light goes off. Then, I have to turn the machine to the off position, then back on to the warming position and wait for the green light again. Then, I have to run about 2 seconds of water thru, then insert the portafilter with the coffee, then create the espresso shot. Hopefully, it'll be in the warmed cup at around 160 degrees F. The milk frothing isn't as bad a problem with heat, but the wand wants to spit water throughout the entire frothing process, which adds about 3-4 tablespoons of water into the milk. That much dilution definitely affects the taste. However, if I run the wand for about 2 minutes and wait to see that there's just a little bit of spitting happening, the milk turns out much better, even though you can hear occasional spits. I have taken the temp of the water before I discovered this odd technique, and I was only getting 145 degrees F from the boiler to the warmed cup. Please note that I always use a warmed cup, I always clear the frothing nozzle and boiler after each use. And I have decalcified the unit several times over the past year that I've owned it. Nothing seems to help. I've sent three emails to Delonghi support about these problems, but have never received a reply. So ... Tom ... I wish this video had included a temperature check. If you had done this, I think you would have seen the problems this machine has.

Just bought the Stilosa 235 a couple of weeks ago, our very first espresso machine 🙂 Didn’t have to play around much for a decent cuppa 🥳 😅. Can’t seem to get around the problem with the milk steamer though, just like you describe @PintoSixty, the steamer just releases so much water that the milk becomes waaay too diluted. I will definitely try the running the wand for two minutes method. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Good stuff! Thanks for the review! Note: don’t let your shots sit that long before adding the steamed milk. I try to limit the time to no more than ten seconds.

One trick to get a hotter overall temp is starting it on the "steam" setting and then jumping to "pump" when the green light appears.

Great video as always! Quick question - How does this compare to the Dedica (aside from the steam wand) in your opinion? I like the idea of the heated brew group on the EC260 and would be going the 'advanced' route in either case. Trying to pick a first machine to get into manual Espresso tinkering. Thanks :)

Hi there! Well the Stilosa and ECP line both benefit from a heated brew group, so I have gotten better results with these, than the Dedica. Check out the ECP here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-au92VvBYLrA.html

ive had mine for two years. if you upgrade portafilters they are basically the same machine, i cant see any reason to spend $200 more on a dedica. same water pump and heating elements. stilosa only takes about 15-20seconds to switch from brewing to steaming which is nice

@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you very much for the time you take to film and share all your valuable knowledge and coffee hacks ! Silly question for you: can you actually just buy the non pressurized filter ( the IMS H26 reference) meanwhile keeping the original portafilter ? Will it fit with the non pressurized basket? Thank you for your reply and help!

You can, but you have to remove the plastic insert in the PF.

It was quite an insightful video. Thanks for the details and the mods 😍 Can you please tell what’s the difference between the EC260BK and EC235BK and call everything you mentioned in this video be done to EC235BK?
@TomsCoffeeCorner
@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад
Hi there! I think the EC235 just has a different steam wand. The rest looks the same to me. But the EC260 is more established, as a product. Maybe it's the older one.

Sure, you can do that. Just be aware that you have to cool down your boiler after milk steaming, otherwise you'll burn your espresso. Cheers!

@TomsCoffeeCorner
@TomsCoffeeCorner 7 месяцев назад
You have to cool the boiler from steam temp, back down to espresso temp, or you'll scorch your next espresso.
