• *USEFUL TIPS*: Too much or too little ground coffee and uneven distribution can cause splashing. Try different grinds of ground coffee to prevent it from becoming too fine or too coarse. Then use a tamper to compact the ground coffee. You can try to solve more problems through YouTube
• 90% of leaks come from grind being too coarse, not a bad fit. Coarse grind + fast water flow + no pressure = water seeps from the edge. Grind finer (But be careful not to overdo it and clog the flow.) — pressure builds, water flows through the puck, not around it. Fix the grind, fix the leak
• When brewing espresso, how is crema produced? The following 4 conditions must be met simultaneously: 1.Fresh beans (over 3 months old → almost no Crema) 2.Grind size is correct (too coarse → fast flow → no Crema; too fine → no extraction) 3.Bar pressure (machine’s job, not the basket's) 4.Proper dose (too little → large gaps → no pressure buildup)

• Prepare Your Coffee Grounds — Grind fresh coffee beans to the appropriate fineness for your espresso machine. Ensure an even distribution of grounds in the portafilter basket. Avoid grinds that are too fine or too coarse, as this can lead to splashing or leaks.
• Tamp Evenly and Secure Portafilter — Use a tamper to compact the coffee grounds evenly and firmly. Insert the portafilter into your Delonghi machine's group head, ensuring a snug fit. If the fit is tight, moisten and warm the silicone ring before insertion.
• Observe and Adjust Extraction — Begin brewing and watch the espresso flow through the bottomless portafilter. Observe the stream's color and consistency. Adjust grind size, dose, or tamping pressure based on real-time feedback to achieve a smooth, rich extraction without channeling or spurting.
