Wish I watched this video before I tried to do it with the paper instructions! Super helpful thank you. I think I have stuff up the grind selector as I didn’t turn it to take the burr in and out 🥺🥲
Hi , Could you please advise how you would do this cleaning on the La Specialista Art machine. It does not have a detachable hopper. The you tube channel Toms Coffee Corner does go into detail about stripping down the entire machine to accomplish the cleaning. Please tell me what you think! Many thanks.👍
Thanks so much, just got this machine and having a few problems with it. Its takes several attempts for the holder to correctly connect with the brewing unit 😞
I personally clean it if I'm changing the bean type otherwise once a month or every other month. There really isn't an ideal time frame, that's just what I personally do. 😁
Hi, my grinder alarm keep blinking even if switching it off what does it mean. I have tried to clean removing hopper and clean and follow all the procedure but still blinking
Sorry for the late reply . I'm assuming your using the same beans? I find personally that when using a fresh batch even if my grinder is at 2 ( where I normally keep it) the first couple of times it will come out a little coarse but this usually works itself out after making a coffee or two. Unfortunately there isn't any fine adjustments you can make, like half values or quarter values like a dedicated grinder. See if you get the same results with a different coffee or bean type. I'm curious to understand more and hopefully we can figure the problem cheers.
My steamer on the la specialista is not working. It does not get hot and the light (steam sign) keeps on blinking and after few minutes the red warning light turns on. Got it fixed once with Delonghi but after 4/5 months same problem. Warranty ran out and Delonghi told me that it will cost ~$250 to repair. Is it a common issue? Any idea how to fix it by DIY?
Thank you for the kind words . I have no idea about repairing issues. Sorry to hear your warranty expired. Whichever retail you purchased your machine , then perhaps see if you can purchase an extended warranty it may be cheaper . Otherwise $250 is much cheaper than buying a new machine and a warranty should be covered for the repair. It sucks either way.
Because you can't absolutely ensure that the burrs on grinder are free of moisture. You definitely don't want any water in your bean grinder/ hopper . That's a sure fire way to decrease the longevity of the machine. Hopefully that helps . 🙂
