Yes, you can prepare a lungo with this machine. To do this, you simply have to prepare the espresso for longer to obtain more liquid. Although the machine does not have a specific pre-setting for a lungo, you can adjust the preparation accordingly by increasing the amount of coffee and the extraction time. A lungo usually has a volume of around 50 to 70 ml and is achieved through a longer extraction time, which can result in a more bitter flavour.

In my case, I can remove the water tank from the side at a height (top edge of water tank) of approx. 43 cm. I personally top up the water with a water jug without removing the water container. ☕️

Yes, that's right. You can only remove the coffee dust from the top and bottom with a small brush that comes with the utensils. Simply wipe the bottom where the ground coffee comes out with a damp cloth.

I used an eco descaler, Naturaplan from COOP, and it worked very well.

It comes with a screw-on splashback, a spare filter for espressos, a pad for tamping the coffee, a small brush, a container for milk and a booster for small cups...... and a well-argued manual.

The only difference is the colour. MB stands for mild grey and W for white.

I have done exactly such upgrade and after my research the best combo for me is Sage Dual Boiler and Niche Zero. It works perfectly. In Delighi I was not particularly happy about its built in grinder.

This is a portafilter machine that is designed for freshly ground coffee. I would argue that the machine is not suitable for ESE pods.

This should now be possible without any problems. In our test it worked flawlessly. The current delivery date is between 21.1.2023 and 4.2.2023.

Hello We have had the machine for a few days. The instructions do not provide for the removal of the grinder. However, a simple brush is provided with which the grinder can be "dusted" from below, where the coffee powder flows out.

Funny, my machine just had a Swiss plug. Otherwise you buy one at IKEA. Not expensive

Exactly the Americano is made with the larger strainer in the carrier with double espresso and topped up with water.
