What to do if my DeLonghi MAGNIFICA EVO makes weak coffee?

E
Elizabeth RileyJul 28, 2025
If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is producing weak or not creamy enough coffee, there are a few potential reasons. The coffee might be ground too coarsely; adjust the grinding level, noting that the effect will be visible after making a couple of coffees. The type of coffee you're using might be unsuitable; use coffee specifically intended for espresso machines. Lastly, the coffee might not be fresh; if the coffee pack has been open for too long, it may have lost its taste.

Why is my DeLonghi Coffee Maker coffee not hot?

R

If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker produces coffee that isn't hot enough, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure you preheat your cups by rinsing them with hot water. You can use the hot water function for this. If the appliance has been idle for a few minutes, its internal circuits may have cooled down; perform a rinse cycle by pressing and holding the button to warm them up. Also, check your coffee temperature setting in the settings menu and increase it if it's too low. Finally, the machine may need descaling. Perform the descale procedure and verify that the water hardness setting matches your local water supply hardness in the settings menu.
