## Questions & Answers

**Q: What coffee does it use?**
A: It's best to use coffee ground for an Espresso machine, or grind your own beans. Coarser ground coffee is better for cafetiere and filter coffee.

**Q: what's the temp of the coffee please (without adding milk)? Did anyone try to use a thermometer to measure the temp?**
A: Good Morning 

Thank you for your question. The coffee should be reaching a temperature of between 70-80 degrees when it is coming out of the coffee spouts.

Key points to get the best temperature are to turn the machine on a minimum of 20 minutes before you want to use it to make sure it has reached the correct pressure and run hot water through the boiler outlet first for at least 10 seconds before dispensing coffee to ensure the correct operating temperature is reached.

Thank you

Customer Care UK

**Q: Can I make a cup of boiling water for tea with this machine?**
A: The steam lance that you can see sticking out to the side is used for frothing milk, it can be used to either produce steam or a jet of hot water. Be aware that the quatity of hot water available is determined by the size of the water heater reservoir...i.e. about two Espresso cups worth...maybe half a mug. So you'd be better of simply boiling a small amount of water in a kettle.

**Q: Anyone know of a good bottomless basket/filter to go with this? I am not really happy with the taste of the coffee on the pressurised filter**
A: Simply change your brand of coffee

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dreamy green upgrade
*by C***E on 30 December 2024*

We’ve had a delonghi espresso machine for years now and it’s been a very reliable part of our morning routine/hosting friends and family. Was finally able to upgrade and this is what we chose; a BEAUTIFUL sage green newer version of our old machine. It’s SO lovely, I love the fact you have space to hide the spare filters in the machine itself. The water tank is smaller than previous but again much neater and hidden so looks super smart. It makes a really lovely cappuccino, I ran it through with just water twice before making a coffee. Definitely worth taking the time to do this so one doesn’t taste any unpleasant new plasticky/metallic flavours. It’s easy to use and very intuitive, has cleaning instructions on stickers inside which is helpful. Froths milk well and both coffee and milk come out nice and hot. Material feels easy to clean too which is great. Nice weight to it and all feels very secure. Filters have a screw system to be able to remove themselves filter from the coffee arm thing which is super handy! The colour is just stunning!! Our old one was a dark grey, totally fine but nothing remarkable and could make the kitchen feel a bit dark. I’ve become slightly obsessed with the warm and light that sage gives as a colour so when I saw this machine now came in that it was a no brainer! We are currently doing up our kitchen so this will match the new colour scheme perfectly. The only thing that was not great was the delivery driver left it on the doorstep without even bothering to ring the door bell or knock. Luckily we could see him coming so was able to quickly bring it in but imagine if we had been out! It was just in its box with see through plastic covering so very obvious with what it was: the machines aren’t cheap and very light so would be very easy to steal if an opportunist spotted it. One star removed as a result. Delivery was however super fast as I ordered it yesterday and it was here this morning.
