Pressurized VS Non Pressurized Portafilter | Delonghi Dedica EC685 and Graef CM702 Grinder |☕️

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Non pressurized gives that rich velvety syrupy goodness you just can't get with pressurized. Yum

[@Lightpixel0]

Interesting video. Personally, I use a pressurized filter and the crema of my coffees does not look at all like the one in the video. It is much thicker and bubble-free. And even with a pressurized filter, using pre-ground coffee will never give you the same results as freshly ground coffee. It's obvious.

[@sadrsawi]

2:49 Look at the espresso’s crema That’s one of the big differences right ?

[@od1286]

@Sam Alharbi, yes that’s one of the differences. We found out that the crema from the non Pressurized portafilter is richer, thicker and lasts longer. 😊

Hello! I have the exact same setup. I purchased an unpressurized basket, but I find that it tastes worse than the original basket... it brings out the unpleasant coffee flavors somehow, this strange dry mouthfeel, and the coffee doesn't even taste close to the smell of the freshly ground beans. It's a medium dark decaf in buying from a local roaster. I'm experimenting with grind settings and coffee quantities, but not much luck so far. It feels overextracted I think. The best so far was with grind setting 10 and 14 grams of coffee. I tried with 1&16 grams like you suggested in one of your comments, but it wasn't as good. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[@od1286]

Hi there, i think maybe you can try to adjust your grinder to the finest setting also the tamping is very important and I would really recommend you use 16g or 18g of coffee cos 10g to 14g for the non pressurized portafilter is too little amount. Hope it helps.

@serghei toca :Hi there, it could be that the extraction time is too short not allowing the oils from the beans to be realeased or maybe due to not enough coffee in the basket.

[@od1286]

Hi Simon, just wondering which portafilter you are using, if you are using the original pressurized portafilter 12g should be enough. Also if you can, try to use fresh beans and grind them using a burr grinder. I am sure you are going to get great results. 🎃 👻

[@geordieny]

If you're using the pressurised portafilter that comes with it, then you'll need to go with less coffee, around 14g, and the grind needs to be a little coarser. You can still get a nice espresso out of it. It's just the pressurised basket does limit the grind.

Yes it would taste better but not by much espresso in a non pressurised basket usually requires a very fine grind and pre ground coffee is usually quite coarse and to be used with french press pour over moka pot etc but not for espresso but with pressurised baskets grind size is not critical and most times you can get away with pre ground coffee hope this helps

@RageQuit Domek Hi there, for the non pressurized portafilter you can try grinding finer, we grind our coffee using the finest setting and tamp strongly. If you get a chance, we would suggest you to get your own burr grinder and grind your beans daily, that way you can adjust the fineness and dial your machine until you get the results that you want, plus you will have freshly ground coffee every day 😉 We suggest you to use beans not older than two weeks old. Hope this helps.☺️

Hi. I've bought the same machine (it will arrive today/tomorroy) and grinder, i noticed that you use the grinder at fine "1", is it the same for both baskets? our "1" for non pressurized and a bit coarser for the pressurized ? i'm asking because i thought the pressurized basket that comes with the machine is made to deal with the pre grinded coffe sold on supermarkets that isnt that fine .

Delonghi has upgraded their pressurized portafilter. It does not look like the one in the vid. Its got a spring inside and a valve. The ones shown in the vid with mesh and one single hole out the bottom is an old design that makes fake crema because it sprays out that one hole. The new designs dont spray out. They have a spring loaded valve and make much better crema because there is no spraying out a tiny hole causing aeration.

We share almost the same setup: E685, Graef 702 (I have 802), and same unpressurized portafilter but I can't get good results so always using the pressurized one cause is easier (and not happy neither). On pressurized I have to grind at nº 10, if I do less the Dedica chokes and gives no liquid at all having to stop and throw away the basket. On unpressurized, at 8, seems very very fine like flour but still the crema is weak, taste acidic and the extraction time isn't between 20-28... taste ain't nice at all. If I do coarsed than nº 8 grind, I get an underextracted coffee tasting horrible and if I do finer the dedica chokes again. Both with always around 14 grams of coffee, despite trying 16 and even 18. Haven't tried fresh beans yet (couple of lavazza's oro and supercrema from amazon with maybe 3/4 months since roasted and once 100 grams from a coffee bar they grinded for me as espresso fine grind but still did super bad).... I know I have to try fresh beans but till now very frustrated in the process. BTW, on second take you get 23 seconds of extraction (a dream to me). Do you just pull the double shot without caring about the ratio and never stopped before for an X amount of liquid? and how many grams you get best results with double shot? nice videos and keep going!

[@od1286]

Hi Uri, in the beginning we also had the same problems, in that time we used lavazza (Crema e Gusto and Rosa) and Starbucks Breakfast blend...we didn’t get crema and sometimes we also tried to add more than 20 grams of coffee and the machine choked; so we decided to use fresh beans, grind them using the finest setting and use between 16 to 20 grams of coffee and finally we got better results (this has to be adjusted depending on the beans). Before we had the Saeco Poemia, that machine could take any type of coffee and give good results but with the Dedica we really need to work to get crema. We found out that there are a few factors that play a role, like fresh coffee, tamping, water temperature and grinding setting. Hope with time you can achieve the results you want. Wish you all the best.

If you get a chance, we would suggest you to get your own burr grinder and grind your beans daily, that way you can adjust the fineness and dial your machine until you get the results that you want, plus you will have freshly ground coffee every day 😉 We suggest you to use beans not older than two weeks old. Hope this helps.☺️

@@od1286 Thanks! Do you ever find that your machine gets clogged with a fine grind? It seems to happen to mine quite often with a finer grind.

[@od1286]

@fpl In the beginning it happened to us, but after when we adjusted our tamping strength and use 16g to 18g of coffee then it stop happening . Hope it helps.☺️

[@od1286]

@Tu Truong. Hi there, if you are not going to make a lot of coffees you could do it, but actually this coffee machine is made for home use. Hope it helps. 😀

[@tutruong7069]

@@od1286 so how about if i just use this machine to make 50 cups/1day?? 😁

[@od1286]

@Tu Truong We will suggest you to get the Rancilio Silvia Pro or Gaggia classic pro. ☺️

Hi! I'm using delonghi dedica 685.m too. Recently I have bought a bottomless portafilter, which is said to be compatible with 685. Hope it works. But as far as i know, pressurized portafilter is better for a little coarser or uneven grinds. I use melitta molino as a grinder. I have a feeling that it grinds a little coarser than it should be even when it is set as 1. I guess I will have to tamp harder as much as I can with my new portafilter. Is there anything else I can do? I also bought a leveler too. What grinder ur using if I may ask?

[@od1286]

@llker Hi there, about the pressurized portafilter you are right , but for the non pressurized portafilter you really need to grind finer our grinder is Graef CM702. Hope this helps! 😀

Thanks a lot

[@TheresOnlyOneTank]

I have that m/c it pulls way better shots than that, you've over tamped the coffee and wasn't level

[@espressomatic]

Umm, where's the rest of the coffee? That's not a 30ml shot and you can travel all across Europe visiting 10000 cafes and never receive such a small shot. This is some Montreal type shot and I guarantee that pressurized or non-pressurized it's going to taste terrible.
