Why does my DeLonghi ECP33.21 Coffee Maker switch off seconds after I turn it on?
If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker switches off a few seconds after being switched on, the mode selector dial is not in the I position (Standby). Turn the mode selector dial to the I position (Standby), then press the ON/OFF switch.
Why is the coffee froth from my DeLonghi ECP33.21 too dark?
If the coffee froth from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is too dark and delivered too slowly, it could be due to several factors. You might be pressing the pre-ground coffee down too firmly; try pressing it less firmly. Alternatively, there might not be enough pre-ground coffee, so reduce the quantity. The espresso boiler outlet could also be blocked, requiring cleaning as described in the section “Cleaning the boiler outlet”. The filter might be blocked, so clean it as described in the section “Cleaning the coffee filters”. Also, the pre-ground coffee might be too fine or damp; use only pre-ground coffee for espresso coffee makers and make sure it is not damp. Finally, you might be using the wrong type of pre-ground coffee; try a different type.

Why is no espresso coffee delivered by my DeLonghi ECP33.21?
If no espresso coffee is delivered by your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, there might be several reasons. The water tank could be empty, so refill it with water.

Why is the pump on my DeLonghi Coffee Maker so noisy?

Why is the espresso coffee from my DeLonghi ECP33.21 cold?
If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is delivering cold espresso coffee, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the OK light is on when the coffee is delivered; wait until it illuminates.

What to do if espresso coffee drips from the edges of the filter holder on my DeLonghi Coffee Maker?
If the espresso coffee from your DeLonghi Coffee Maker drips from the edges of the filter holder instead of the holes, the filter holder may be inserted incorrectly or is dirty. Attach the filter holder correctly and rotate firmly as far as it will go. Another possible cause is that the espresso boiler gasket has lost elasticity or is dirty; in this case, have the espresso boiler gasket replaced by Customer Services. Lastly, the holes in the filter holder spouts may be blocked; clean the filter holder spout holes.
