How to fix DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC96XY when it does not grind the coffee?
- G
  Gabriel GibsonAug 16, 2025
  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is not grinding coffee, it could be due to foreign matter obstructing the coffee mill. Clean the burrs, ensuring you've removed all beans from the container before extracting it, and vacuum any residue from the housing before reassembling. Another reason might be that the coffee beans container isn't correctly positioned. Ensure it's properly inserted until you hear a 'click,' with the arrow aligned with the symbol.

Why is there no milk froth when using the LatteCrema System on my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC96XY Coffee Maker?
- D
  Destiny HarrisonAug 19, 2025
  If no milk froth is forming when making cappuccino with the LatteCrema System on your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, ensure the milk is cold enough (refrigerator temperature). Also, verify that the froth selection knob is in the correct position (max, med, or min froth). A dirty LatteCrema System can also cause this issue, so clean the cappuccino maker. Finally, scale in the water circuit may be the problem, so descale the appliance.
