The Delonghi Dedica EC685 comes with pressurized espresso filter baskets. In this video, I show how to despressurize them with a 1/8" drill bit, to allow a non-pressurized espresso extraction. This is a very easy mod to do, and can help to get a better extraction with minimal effort. Just be aware that once you depressurize, you will need to grind finer.

If you don't have a drill bit to make a hole likes what Tom did professionally, you can also do that by hammering a nail through. But to make the job easier, a smaller diameter nail should be used first, then making the hole bigger by using a bigger diameter one. Placing the cup on a piece of wood with the bowl facing upwards, then hammer the nail down (This is to prevent the cup from being dented if bowl facing downwards) and any protruding burrs outside the bowl can be smoothed out easily by using a simple file or a dremel (if you have one).

Hi Tom. Your videos are always excellent. Not only your mastery in coffee but the way you explain things make them very special. I enjoy them very much. Thank you. One question about this one. What was your reasoning to choose a 3mm drill instead of a bigger one (5, 10, 15mm) and get closer to the no bottom filter case?

@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад

Well, the larger the bit, the more the tip is tapered, and then you'd run into the inner basket part with the drill bit tip, before piercing the basket with the outer radius of the drill bit.

@ajmckay2 2 года назад

Awesome idea! I think it's important to point out that once you do this you must grind fine and you cannot use pre ground coffee anymore. For this reason I opted to purchase a non pressurized basket (and a good grinder) like the one you showed. That way if I need to use a coarser grind sometime I'm able to.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

Hello AJ, you are definitely right! If you depressurize the filter, then you have to grind finer. I’d mainly recommend doing this, if you have extra baskets to experiment with, or don’t want to wait for a new non-pressurized one to arrive. Cheers, ☕️ Tom

@SH1FTER 10 месяцев назад

@wbwright79 2 года назад

the pressurized basket can often deliver more crema. for my dual-wall basket, i ended up grabbing an acetylene torch and burning the stuck grounds out. it mostly melte out the mess, and you can hear it and see it coming out from the openings. rinse and repeat about 3-4 times until you no longer hear the old grounds melting any longer. bye the way, if you don't clean out the junk then you will eventually destroy the pump.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

Thanks for your feedback and tips! Everyone's taste is different, so if you prefer the pressurized baskets for your coffee, then that's good too! Thanks for your great video on changing the pump on the Dedica by the way. It took the uneasiness away for me to open up my machine. 👍

You can grind finer, and get a traditional extraction, where the crema is caused by the bean, and not the turbulence created via pressurized basket.

Hello Tom. I recently bought an ec685. I use the standard pressurized filter. I haven't bought a grinder yet, so I use pre-ground coffee. The problem is that whatever settings I tried, the coffee always comes out very bitter. What can be the problem? Maybe pre-ground coffee can be too finely ground, the type of coffee, the settings of the machine? Do you recommend the depressurized filter for pre-ground coffee? What type of grinder do you recommend? Thank you.

We are using identical medium heat, and same water hardness, and same water volume, as we set from straight water flow.., and the newer 685 is never as good, and has never been as good. Any thoughts ? Rgds, Mark

Hey Mark, well that's a tough one. I have a 5 year old EC680, and a newer EC685. I measured their compressions. The newer machine had a max of 11 bars, and the old one maxed out at 7 bar. Perhaps you got used to extractions at a lower pressure? Otherwise, maybe the new machine is defective?

I tried depressurise the basket on my Delinghi ECO310 and it definitely made the coffee taste worse!!!

@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад

Well, beware that if you depressurize your basket, that you have to grind finer.

I did same and it ruined my coffee, I just discovered that I must grind fine, I am sad

@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад

Do you have a grinder yourself? If not, the Kingrinder K4 is the best for the price.

@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад

Well now you need to grind finer, and use fresher beans. Cheers!

A mask for drilling a small hole into a sheet metal? Sorry, glasses ok. Can make sense, gloves not so much. You don't wear gloves when handling power tools. But a dust protection mask? Really not nessecary. Even for the deburring afterwards this is overkill. You also have to consider that protection also disturbs and can interfere with your vision thus an accident is more likely to happen especially if the person is unskilled
