Question about De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio
Hello, I bought the machine but the pressure indicator never goes up more than two lines and seems that will never reach the optimal zone. Is it just the freshness of the coffee? the tamping and fine grinding? I have tried almost all combinations of fine grinding levels and amount of coffee but the pressure is always very low. Can the machine just be faulty ? thanks a lot
Helpful answer
Aside from a technical defect, that would happen if you either don‘t add enough coffee, or the grind setting is too coarse. I have the grinder on mine on 3 for coarseness and and the fill level at appx. ⅔. That works just fine for most of the beans I use.
The pressure gauge is actually more decorative, as it has no scale. But only 2 lines seems very little to me. In my case, the pointer rises to about 1 o'clock, which seems ok to me. There seems to be something wrong with your machine, assuming the quantity and grind are OK.
The service department can probably tell you whether it is defective. Otherwise, adjust the grind finer and / or use more filling quantity. Then it should work.
