Learn how to make coffee at home with the DeLonghi Dedica espresso machine. We will share how to make espresso, steam milk, and latte art for a cappuccino. We start with a simple routine using pre-ground coffee but then move to more advanced barista techniques to brew tasty coffee using specialty coffee beans.

What is the portafilter you use ?
he’s cute
My crazy but useful advice: Throw away the instruction that came with your machine, and just watch this video. This is much better than those stupid animations. It is truly poor customer service not to utilize all the facilities we have in modern times and give better information to customers.
Are you sure it wasn't flat white rather than cappuccino?
Man what about the interior is it plastic???
Is it 11 grams for a double basket or a single one?
Not yet tried it but the standard portafilter looks like it could have the bottom cut off. Next stage is to get a roaster and green beans, big choice. Edit. For £14 on eBay I found a very smart and well made portafilter so binned that idea.
I use 14g in mine for a double. Same basket
Not yet been able to get crema using the bottomless portafilter.
