[andrascser]

By far the most intelligent and shortest video on the topic. Thank you.

Hi Tom! Greetings from Malaysia. Love your works. We have the same coffee setup, but i still learning on how to steam milk properly like you did. The milk you steam, thats a gold standard!

Barista tutorial with Tom? Yes please!!!!☕

[kostaskostas]

Tom your videos are great. Because you show us how we can make great espresso and cappuccino without investing in an expensive coffee machine. I have the E680 I think and I have followed your other suggestions. I got the portafilter and the IMS baskets. Got now the niche zero grinder and the results are amazing. So thank you for your help and motivation. Happy brewing.

How did you change the cappuccinator?¿

Hello Tom, how do i make a 7g shot with this Dedica 685 ? Should i use the single basket anyway ? Or look for another basket. I can tamp properly 5-7g in the single basket. There is not enough ground coffee to be regular. Thanks.

Hello, I would like to ask a question. I have the Delonghi dedica ec685 model coffee machine and though the steam production is great it doesn't froth milk. The milk begins to boil in approxiamately in 10 seconds but it doesn't froth. I wanted to ask what you think the problem might be. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Tom, how much milk (in ml) did you put to a cup?

[rachellevanemmerik]

Can you explain why you weigh the coffee grounds and why you measure the time for the drip ?

[MrFreakj]

Did u make a double or a Single, not clear via the Video :D

[kvikjenna]

Hey! When I press the 1 cup button I get a really small amount of Espresso and the the machine only gives out the water for a few seconds. Is it broken or did I do something wrong? :0

Hi Tom. I have the same machine. But after putting it under steam wand, it creates 0 foam. It only heats up. Please help

[abc-clrb]

why does this 685 have a different steam wand then the retail model? did you customize it? coouldnt find a video about it

[MuShTaNk]

Hello Tom, I’m also using a bottomless portafilter with non-pressurised basket but I’m not getting crema like you do, I have the same espresso machine.What I am doing wrong?

[Blindconcept]

Hey awesome video, could you share what the steam tip is? I would like to replace the standard one as well.
Also, my coffees always seem a bit to watery or low on density, any tips?

[sunnycharacter]

Where do I get the proper milk steamer wand? I’d like to upgrade from the stock one my ec685 came with. Amazon US?

Hi Tom. I bought the Lavazza super cream beans but the extraction is always bitter and dark. I have the same Dedica and Eureka grinder.
Would you tell me what should be the grinder setting for the lavazza (steps from the zero point) ?
