Why is no espresso coffee delivered from my DeLonghi EC685.BK?
- R
  Rebecca ByrdAug 15, 2025
  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't delivering espresso, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the water tank is filled. If it is, check for blockages in the filter holder's spout holes and clean them if necessary. Also, a blocked filter can prevent coffee delivery, so clean it accordingly. Make sure the tank is correctly inserted and the valves are open by pressing it down lightly. Finally, limescale buildup in the water circuit can cause this issue; descale the appliance.

  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't making milk froth, make sure the ring is in the “CAPPUCCINO” position. Use milk straight from the refrigerator. A dirty cappuccino maker can also cause this, so clean it. Limescale in the water circuit may also be the reason, so descale the appliance.

  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker won't make any drink and the lights are flashing, first ensure the water tank is filled. If it is, check that the tank is correctly inserted and the valves on the bottom are open by pressing the tank down lightly. A blocked espresso boiler outlet or filter can also cause this, so clean them. Finally, limescale in the water circuit may be the reason, so descale the appliance.

What to do if espresso coffee drips from the edges of the filter holder on my DeLonghi EC685.BK Coffee Maker?

  If espresso coffee drips from the edges of the filter holder instead of the holes on your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, ensure the filter holder is correctly attached and rotated firmly. The espresso boiler gasket might be dirty or have lost elasticity, consider having it replaced. Also, check for and clean any blockages in the filter holder spout holes. Lastly, a blocked filter could be the culprit, so clean it.

Why is the coffee froth too dark from my DeLonghi Coffee Maker?
- R
  Robin GibsonAug 31, 2025
  If the coffee froth is too dark (delivered too slowly) from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, the pre-ground coffee might be pressed down too firmly, so press it less firmly. Alternatively, there might not be enough pre-ground coffee, so reduce the quantity. A blocked espresso boiler outlet or filter can also cause this, so clean them. Ensure you are using pre-ground coffee specifically for espresso coffee makers and that it's not too fine or damp. Limescale in the water circuit may also be the reason, so descale the appliance.

  Austin JenkinsSep 3, 2025
  If the coffee froth is too light (delivered too fast) from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, press the pre-ground coffee more firmly. You may also need to increase the quantity of pre-ground coffee. Ensure you are using pre-ground coffee specifically for espresso coffee makers and change the type if necessary.
