Why is no espresso coffee delivered from my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC9865?

  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't delivering espresso, several factors could be at play. Ensure the water tank is adequately filled. If a light indicates an empty coffee or steam circuit, press the corresponding button to prime it. A blocked coffee filter can also be the culprit, so clean it thoroughly. Check that the water tank is correctly inserted and the valves at the bottom are open. Scale buildup in the water circuit may also be the issue, so descale the machine. Lastly, a coffee grind that is too fine can cause this problem; adjust the coffee dose and grinding accordingly.

Why is my DeLonghi Coffee Maker not making milk froth with the LatteCrema System?
- J
  Justin WillisAug 19, 2025
  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't forming milk froth when making a cappuccino with the LatteCrema System, make sure you're using milk directly from the refrigerator. Also, check that the froth selection knob is set to your desired froth level (max, medium, or min). A dirty LatteCrema System can also prevent proper frothing, so ensure it is cleaned. Finally, scale in the water circuit can affect frothing, so descale the appliance.

What to do if my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC9865 Coffee Maker requests another rinse after descaling?

  If, at the end of descaling your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, the appliance requests a further rinse, it means that during the rinse cycle, the water tank was not filled to the MAX level. To resolve this, complete the rinse cycle ensuring the water tank is filled to the maximum level.

Why does my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC9865 Coffee Maker not grind the coffee?
- D
  Danielle GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker does not grind the coffee beans, it could be due to two main reasons. First, there might be foreign matter in the coffee grinder that cannot be ground. To resolve this, clean the burrs, ensuring you remove all beans from the container before extracting it, and vacuum any residues from the housing before reassembling. Second, the coffee beans container may not be correctly positioned. Ensure the container is properly inserted by lining up the arrow with the symbol until you hear a 'click'.

  The presence of water in the drip tray of your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is normal due to the internal water circuits' operations. To manage this, regularly empty and clean the drip tray.

What to do if the portafilter cannot be attached to my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC9865 Coffee Maker?
- T
  Terry LeSep 1, 2025
  If the portafilter cannot be attached to your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it's likely that the ground coffee has not been pressed correctly or there is too much of it. Repeat the grinding process with new settings. Reduce the amount of coffee powder used, and verify that the filter size (single or double) matches the grinding quantity selector (2x button selected or not).

Why does espresso coffee drip from the edge of the portafilter on my DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro EC9865?
- S
  Stephen MaySep 4, 2025
  If espresso coffee drips from the edges of the portafilter on your DeLonghi Coffee Maker instead of through the holes, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure the portafilter is correctly attached and rotated firmly as far as it can go. If that doesn't solve the issue, the espresso boiler gasket might have lost its elasticity or is dirty, in which case it should be replaced by Customer Services. Another possibility is that the coffee filter is clogged, so clean it thoroughly.
