My bean hopper keeps loosen when i grind. then i have to hold the hopper down to grind again. does anyone else have this problem?

After you have seated the bean hopper on the machine, give the hopper a clockwise twist and you should feel and hear it snap into place. That will hold the hopper in place when you grind your beans. An extra hint--Don't remove the hopper with coffee beans in it or you'll be sweeping up the little critters from your countertop and floor.

Is the grind storage container glass or plastic?

This is a big problem that would have been easily solved by the manufacturer by using anti-static plastic. My solution: after grinding, I stir the grounds through the top hole in the receiving container with a metal tablespoon. This dissipates the static charge and prevents the grounds from repelling one another other and flying everywhere. The cap can then be removed and the grounds poured from the plastic cup as one chooses.

Is this actually 18" tall as listed in the description?

Fully assembled it is 15 inches tall

How i know the perfect grinder setting for de longui ec680 espresso machine? i like strong coffe flavor. thanks.

Technically, you adjust by what grind achieves the desired brew time. I believe DeLonghi uses pressurized porta filter, which are more forgiving, but may work differently. A 25-35 seconds extraction time is typical for a non-pressurized machine - I don’t know how that one works. I’d start at finest grind and taste. If good, leave it. If it’s choking the machine, i.e., full shot is not coming out in your normal brew time, then make grind more coarse. For my prosumer, non-pressurized machine the finest setting was still too coarse. I can only use it for drip/Chemex now.
