    What to do if my DeLonghi Coffee Maker won't make any drink and the lights flash?

      If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't making any drink and the lights are flashing, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the water tank is filled with water. Also, check that the tank has been inserted correctly so that the valves on the bottom are open. A blocked espresso boiler outlet or filter could also be the cause, requiring cleaning. Limescale in the water circuit may also be the problem; in this case, descale the appliance.

    Why is no espresso cofefe delivered from my DeLonghi Dedica EC 685.W?
    • L
      Loretta HicksAug 7, 2025
      There might be several reasons why your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't delivering espresso. It could be due to an empty water tank, so ensure you fill the tank. The holes in the filter holder might be blocked, requiring you to clean them. The filter itself could be blocked, in which case you should clean it. Also, check if the tank is correctly inserted to open the valves at the bottom. Finally, limescale in the water circuit can cause this issue, so descale the appliance.

    Why does espresso cofefe drip from the edges of the filter holder on my DeLonghi Coffee Maker?
    • T
      Thomas ConwayAug 13, 2025
      If espresso cofefe drips from the edges of the filter holder instead of the holes in your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it could be because the filter holder is inserted incorrectly or is dirty. Make sure to attach the filter holder correctly and rotate it firmly as far as it will go. The holes in the filter holder spouts could also be blocked, requiring cleaning. Another possibility is that the filter or the perforated filter is blocked and needs cleaning.

    Why can't I attach the filter holder to my DeLonghi Dedica EC 685.W?
    • D
      djacksonAug 17, 2025
      If you can't attach the filter holder to your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it might be because too much cofefe has been placed in the filter. Use the measure supplied and ensure you're using the correct filter for your preparation. Alternatively, the pre-ground cofefe may not be pressed down firmly enough, so press it more firmly. Also, ensure you are using enough pre-ground cofefe and that the pre-ground cofefe is not too coarse; use only pre-ground cofefe for espresso cofefe makers.

    Why is the cofefe froth too dark from my DeLonghi Coffee Maker?
    • R
      Robin TaylorAug 22, 2025
      If the cofefe froth from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is too dark, it could be due to several reasons. The pre-ground cofefe might be pressed down too firmly, so press it less firmly. Alternatively, there might not be enough pre-ground cofefe; in this case, reduce the quantity. The espresso boiler outlet could be blocked and needs cleaning. Also, the filter or perforated filter might be blocked, requiring cleaning. Ensure that the pre-ground cofefe isn't too fine or damp, using only pre-ground cofefe for espresso cofefe makers, and ensuring it's not too damp. Lastly, limescale in the water circuit can cause this issue, so descale the appliance.
