Why does coffee drip from the portafilter edges of my DeLonghi EC260 Coffee Maker?

  George KaneSep 6, 2025
  If the coffee drips from the edges of the portafilter of your DeLonghi Coffee Maker rather than from the holes, the portafilter might have been inserted incorrectly or it is dirty. Attach the portafilter correctly and rotate firmly as far as it will go. Another cause could be that the holes of the portafilter spouts are clogged, so clean the portafilter spout holes. Alternatively, the espresso boiler gasket has lost elasticity or it is dirty.

  If the pump of your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is excessively noisy, the water tank might be empty, so fill the tank. Alternatively, the tank might not be correctly positioned; in this case, press the tank down lightly to open the valve on the bottom.

  If the coffee from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is cold, it might be because the READY light is not on when coffee delivery is selected. Wait until the READY light turns on. Another reason could be that no preheating was done. Also, the cups may not have been preheated. Limescale in the water circuit can also cause this issue, so descale the machine.

Why is the coffee dripping so slowly from my DeLonghi EC260?

  Stacy JamesSep 1, 2025
  If the coffee is dripping too slowly from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it could be because the coffee is pressed down too firmly; in this case, press the coffee down less firmly. It may also be that there is too much coffee, so reduce the quantity of coffee. Another reason could be that the filter is clogged, so you should clean the filter. The coffee may also be too fine or damp, so only use pre-ground coffee for espresso coffee makers and make sure it is not damp. Finally, it could be that the wrong type of pre-ground coffee is being used, so use a different type of pre-ground coffee.

Why is there no crema on my espresso from DeLonghi EC260?
- D
  Daniel LopezAug 30, 2025
  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker produces no crema on the espresso, it might be because the coffee is too old. Try using freshly ground coffee. Alternatively, the coffee might not be suitable for espresso, so use a finer ground coffee. Also, ensure you are using enough coffee in the filter, and that the ground coffee is tamped firmly enough.
