mine came with 3 filters. I just drilled a big hole in one of them from the underside. The filter itself is in tact, only doesn't generate artificial preassure anymore... Works like a charm.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
I bought the same non pressurized basket. Never thought of keeping the black plastic, planning to remove the bottom part of aluminum and remove the black plastic for direct view, but kinda expected espresso will spray everywhere. Thanks for sharing.
Someone finally manufactured double spout portafilter for the Delonghi Dedica. I bought one the moment it was available. Very nice and solid too compared to the original portafilter.
I have two questions: 1) why not just use the other portafilter? It looks like the tabs are the same, does it not fit? 2) why not just leave that plastic thing out? I'm not sure what function it serves, or even if I would actually want a plastic thing in my portafilter. Couldn't you just leave it out, and leave the screw out? Water would then also come out the screw hole, but if you're catching your shot in one cup that wouldn't be a problem.
you can, it's just that the coffee will then leak out of the screw hole if you leave the plastic thing out. not a big deal, it's just not pleasant too look at and also a huge problem for your OCD :)
@@nohup1779 I don't think so. "Obsessive-compulsive thinking is completely normal, with about 94 percent of the population experiencing some kind of unwanted or intrusive thought at some point, according to an international study co-authored by Adam Radomsky, a professor of psychology at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada." Also, it's not a disease. It's a disorder
I agree with you. I'm here because the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal from Sam's means a lot more people bought this machine. They may be new to espresso, but they are quickly learning the difference between pressurized and non-pressurized baskets. Most are looking for a non-pressurized, non-bottomless two cup basket solution. In other words, people want to have a non-pressurized basket and the original portafilter with the spouts because they don't want the mess of bottomless baskets frequently cause. I would get rid of the plastic insert. If the drip from the screw hole bothered me (and it probably would), I'd find a nut to fit the small screw to cover the hole. I don't see the point of keeping the plastic piece if it's just there to direct the flow. The bigger question is why hasn't De'Longhi figured out that a non-pressurized option is what many people want for this machine? Breville has for theirs.
Вы просто профи! Приятно было смотреть, ни одного лишнего движения, красота! Вот такой кофе я бы с удовольствием попробовал). Спасибо за прекрасное видео!
You can brew traditional espresso, like how it's done in a café, whereas if you use a pressurised basket you don't get the full range of flavour as it's kind of a hacky way to get something that kind of looks like espresso from beans that are stale or too coarse by forcing the water through a tiny pinhole at the bottom of the basket making a jet of 'espresso' that hits the bottom of the inside of the portafilter, forming a crema-like foam, while also restricting the water from exiting the basket and creating a little bit of pressure mimicking what the finely ground beans do in a normal espresso brew
With non pressurized filter, you will have to work more, many coffees will have issues, you will waste lot of coffee, you will be forced to buy an expensive grinder, you won't be able to use preground coffee anymore, your shots will not be the same anymore, you will probably lose lot of time, in many occasions you will get your station dirty, but in exchange of all that people convince themselves that they are cool and get so much flavor coming from heaven
With pressurized ur grind size isnt a big factor cause of the pressure build from the one tiny hole the basket has. With unpressurized you create pressure with ur grind size and you need a good grinder for that. Not a blade one.
@@emrahdaglik357don't buy a graef, just go with a good hand grinder like a timemore or smth, the burrs will be better and it's generally higher quality. It can also be a stepping stone while you save up a bit more to get smth like the sage smart grinder pro or df54 or one of those really good Chinese white label 40mm conical grinders
Thanks a lot for your sharing! It's a great video! I have a filter basket of 35mm depth. Will this still be suitable if I don't put the plastic part back into the portafilter? Is it ok for using 16g of coffee in such a deep filter basket? I am a novice and wanna to learn more! Thanks for your professional sharing!
It depends on the density of the bean, lighter roasts and beans grown at high altitude are usually more dense, therefore you can get more grams of coffee in, whereas dark roasted coffee that's grown at lower altitude is less dense and you can't get as many grams in to your basket
Great job! It's been fun following along! Would love to build TT. But remember, you have the lazerthing and such. I would have to buy houses. Do you think there are items available?
I am confused. why didnt you simply just use the bottomless portafilter? It looks like the 3 tabs are the same as the original portafilter are they not?
I think he's showing people who don't have a bottomless portafilter how to modify their current one to take a conventional basket... That's how I got here anyway
I have the same machine. I get silky foam, but the latte is barely warm. How do I heat up the milk more, without over steaming it? I read that if you plunge the metallic steamer deeper into the milk jug, it will continue heating the milk without foaming it up. Is this true?
for the first 6-8 seconds let your steam wand hover right above the milk line while you hear that "paper tearing" sound, and from there, you can let your wand down into the milk a centimeter or so and let the milk form a vortex. This textures the milk and you can never have too much of it. Do that until the pitcher is too hot to touch, and then you're ready.
A filter basket is a filter basket, if it's 51mm it will fit. Portafilters are a different story because they have different locking mechanisms into the group head.
I think it is a small cup for Bartender, but the name is Dosing cup, with a dosing ring. The distributor is just a coffee distributor, you can google it. But if you need to know the name, I think only Arty Home know :D
The original wont let you use „espresso fine“ coffee, because the pressure would become too high to let the water trough the small hole. So you have to use pretty ground grinded coffee (like pregrinded from the supermarket) that will not bring you real espresso taste und texture. The modified one has not just one hole, the bottom is all of holes that let the water trough. So it is possible to use fine coffee, have the right pressure in the basket und get a real espresso, not just coffee with a fake crema on it.
Pressurized portafilter can actually balance and factor out a bad or coarser coffee grind. Unfortunately the espresso result has thinner body and not much flavor. I've recently changed to a non-pressurized portafilter and the taste is totally different.
Hello. I have a question. As a result of this modification, a gap is formed between the plastic insert and the walls of the portafilter. Is the coffee flowing into this gap? Thank you.
Try removing the Panarello maker from the cappuccinatore. The rubber nozzle remains on the cappuccino maker. Secure this nozzle with a plastic cable tie. In this form, milk is whipped much better.
It takes some practice but you get way better, dense foam with this wand. It's a bit of work to replace the wand, I'd say medium difficulty. If you've taken apart electronics in the past it's actually fairly easy and you'd be done in 45 minutes total (taking into account at least two screw-ups). Easiest way would be to remove the instant-throther nossle and secure the rubber piece inside to the wand with a tie-rip like the other dude said. It's just a little less gracious in looks.
Que habilidad Bro! No cualquiera dedica su tiempo para modificar su máquina y obtener dichos resultados, es de locos 🤯💓 pensé que no se podía y me has mostrado lo contrario, gracias.
@@anton2474 the quality is on the price level. I paid like 18€ i guess maybe 21€. The head and the handle can be taken a part it’s hold up with a screw system. I think the head is not really stainless steel but alloyed like that. So far it works fine and I am happy with it but I am sure if you are willing to pay more you can get better equipment but its not easy to find for 51mm. I also costumized the original delonghi portafilter. I cut the plastic part inside so that the 17g filter can fit inside if wanted. So now I have options of bottomless or with bottom and 13 or 17g coffee etc
So confused, why not just leave out the plastic bit altogether without all the cutting? Does it produce more crema? I just use mine without the plastic thingy.
@@guan5849 Basically, not. The screw goes into the plastic part. You could block the screw hole in some other ways, but in my experience it doesn't give me any trouble. The coffee drips out of the regular two holes only.
- Do not use old beans (maximum 1 month after roasting) - Only grind as many beans as necessary each time. - Perhaps you did not tamp properly, did not use enough powder or ground too coarsely?
I'm copying my reply to another guy: hey, you need to modify the grinder (there are vids on youtube). type delonghi kg79 (or what's the name of yours) modification and follow the instructions. I did it 3-4 times, it's quite easy. After that you'll get the max out of that grinder, which is not good at all by default the key is to turn that knob a couple of times, reassemble, try it, and do it again until you are satisfied. I turned mine 6 or 7 clicks, but every grinder is different, so you need to find your way. some people turn it more, some less
What is better espresso with the single basket: 1) bottomless portafilter or 2) standard dedica portafilter with the cutted black plastic insert? Why do you cut the black plastic part if you are having a bottomless portafilter? Do you face any temperature difference of the espresso of both solutions?
I can clearly see the difference of the bottomless portafilter when it is not tamp hard enough. Or grind coarse coffee beans, the liquid will splash around. As for the taste and temperature, I don't think much of a difference.
@@ArtyHome Thanks for your reply. And also thanks for your nice videos Is there a need to seal the cutted black plastic part to the aluminium part? Otherwise there will get some coffee in between. Do you have there any issue?
Hello, I am from Bangladesh. I use the same machine. But only has access to chinese bottomless portafilters. Used the same grind settings as yours on my timemore C2. Before I used to get a clear shot but now there is an overflow every time. Doesn’t happen with my pressurized portafilter but the chinese bottomless is actually very loose so I feel like that’s what is causing it. Can you please help with this?
interesting. the link for the 51mm basket explicitly says : Not fit : Delonghi Dedica 685, EC260BK, E680, EC220cd, 3630, EC720, EC155, EC685, EC680M, 680,Delonghi
@@devildog8328 thank you. i ended up solving this a little while back. bought a used basket and cut the black insert part in half, as you described here. ty.
what do you do with surplus of ground coffee? (f.e, you remove 3 gr from ground coffee in this video) are you throwing it the garbage or using it later? I see you throw it in a basket but ı don't know if it is trash and I hope it isn't trash.
Espresso is a bit wasteful by nature. Changing grind size needs purging to remove old grounds from the grinder, and many shots are pulled and thrown away when dialing in. Most people dump them, i tend to keep them in a spare mason jar, and use them when I'm out of coffee. Though, being such fine grinds of different sized, the coffee I get out of it is never very good. Alternatively, you could use those grounds/used coffee to cultivate mushrooms. Mushroom "Seeds" are not very expensive and they grow well on coffee grounds.
@@MrMarki134 ı dont mean used grinded coffe after taking espresso. I mean surplus grinded coffee more than 17 grams before taking espresso shot. And also good idea to using used coffe in cultivating thanks. it is maybe also good for the flowers.
I'm sorry, I dropped it. I didn't adjust the amount of ground coffee in this video, so there was more coffee than I could use. But the coffee I have used. I'll put it under the tree in my garden.
@@ArtyHome I think we should not waste the coffee, you can save every 3-4 gr surplus coffee until it makes 14 gr. And you can use this 14 gr accumulated coffee to make espresso to your guests who you don't like too much :)

I would just remove the plastic and block the screw hole with a little bigger SUS screw. Whatever how you file the plastic, every cup of coffee will be contaminated. Beware.
Well normal non-pressurised filter baskets don't fit in the normal Dedica portafilter because of the plastic insert, however you can't remove the insert as it would leave an extra screw hole at the bottom of the portafilter, so the solution is to cut the insert to allow a normal basket to fit
Whats your opinion on the Dedica dude? Also mine has developed an issue with the power button doesnt click in place (after several tried it does) so should I open it up and fix it myself you think? Peace
There's a comment on another TH-cam video that a guy teaches how to fix this. I can't find it right now, but if you google search you might get some results. The TLDR is to put your machine upside down (get the water out first, obviously) and then press the bottom (now up) against the machine itself and at the same time press the button. I did it to my machine and it worked. One piece of advice: after it, just leave the machine on stand-by mode forever, don't use the power button anymore, just leave it "on" and when you need to turn it on, just press one of the top button and it wakes up from stand-by mode.
@@pedroleal8543 I didnt know there was a standby option so i figured that out on how to but ill try to fix the button myself i think aswell just to get that out of the way. Thanks for taking the time!
@@amhazey No problem. Meanwhile, I found the comment: "For anyone coming here looking for help with an inoperable power switch - I removed the bottom cover of my machine and noticed that the plastic housing of the machine interferes with the plastic switch. When I had it upside down the switch would engage properly. If your switch doesn't click and stay `on', try turning the machine upside down and/or pressing down on the base while pushing in the switch."
The video doesn't explain, but the normal non-pressurised basket won't fit into the portafilter due to the stupid plastic insert blocking it. To make it fit, they've cut the plastic lip down so that the new basket can drop down fully. A better approach would be to remove the plastic insert altogether as it only acts to channel the high pressure jet of the pressurised basket and isn't needed for a normal one. Also it's a place where old coffee can build up underneath and start to foul and give bad flavours. Remove the insert and then simply use without. If you want a 2 cup portafilter, just put the screw back in with a nut to hold it in place and the two spouts will work as before. If you don't need the two spouts at all, a better option is to cut the bottom off the PF completely, or even better just buy a bottomless PF.
@@ArtyHome Yeah I understood the modifiying part, but I wanna know if you ordered the basket from anywhere in particular or if it came with the wooden handle?
Is that why im fukin up my crema eeeveeeryyy day? Just use the single option for my double basket? just yesterday a 250g of beans landed in the trash when i was trying my crema...
The buttons can be programmed for any desired length of time so the single shot he had just programmed to this time me and my missus like our shots different so I programmed one for her and the other for me.
I just ordered the double non-pressurized basket for my Dedica 685 as per your link, but I just noticed after ordering it that the information in the Amazon listing says that it does not fit the Dedica EC685. I am a bit confused now.
@@joshuabaxter4479 Yes -Joshua it did fit!! But-- I also bought a naked/bottomless porta-filter handle. And for me this has been excellent!! Its' all I use now. I can get a really great coffee out of my Dedica with it. Coffee is a hobby of mine, and I think it is very good to have the naked porta-filter to go with a Dedica, and its really worth the money!!
I need your help. I have also the dedica and the delonghi grinder like you (not modified). I recently bought a bottomless portafilter and the water ist just rushung trough the filter. I put the watertemperature on high. Is the delonghi grinder not good enough, so it is on the first level, the finest. Is it not fine enough? The Espresso is very thin and there is no crema. The basket holds 16 grams of powder. What can i do? The espresso is 70% arabica and 30% robusta and fresh roasted.

True, but drilling that hole is a little tricky without mangling the basket. I did that, and the metal was harder to cleanly drill than I thought it would be.
Thanks for the video! Have you tried the original basket but WITHOUT the black piece? I am afraid cofre will just flow everywhere, doing a mess 😅 I only want to remove the plastic piece to avoid microplastics and those things.
I just tried and had some filters from a La Pavoni 51mm. Removed the plastic completely and poured a shot. The espresso was flowing from the top as well so that does not work unless the filter is fully compatible with EC685. The filter basket mentioned in the description of this video is also NOT compatible according to the Amazon description of the product.
@@adam-8736 personally i have bought one of these made for dedica but in greece it took almost 2and a half months to come from china and I couldnt find anything in the greek market other than a basket so I made this mod the same way and now I have two portafilters
I just bought one online for like $30 - took a while to ship but way easier and means I can still use the pressurised basket if I get gifted grinds or am feeling lazy
I reset the amount of water by pressing the button next to it. Until the desired amount of liquid and time is obtained. Release the button, the device will remember this value for the next time.

Why not use the new assembly?
Are your coffee beans freshly roasted?
Great Video. I have some machine i wonder the steam wand modification makes huge diffrences ?
It should. It will be a tad more difficult to steam milk, but you'll get much better results
yes, it works so much better than the original one
Try removing the Panarello maker from the cappuccinatore. The rubber nozzle remains on the cappuccino maker. Secure this nozzle with a plastic cable tie. In this form, milk is whipped much better.
It takes some practice but you get way better, dense foam with this wand. It's a bit of work to replace the wand, I'd say medium difficulty. If you've taken apart electronics in the past it's actually fairly easy and you'd be done in 45 minutes total (taking into account at least two screw-ups). Easiest way would be to remove the instant-throther nossle and secure the rubber piece inside to the wand with a tie-rip like the other dude said. It's just a little less gracious in looks.
What wand is that ?
Que habilidad Bro! No cualquiera dedica su tiempo para modificar su máquina y obtener dichos resultados, es de locos 🤯💓 pensé que no se podía y me has mostrado lo contrario, gracias.
How much milk do you put in the lattes?
My coffee or cappucino turns out not too hot.. how can i make it piping hot?
Is portadilter plastic on Dedica arte EC 885 ?
So the bottomless portafilter with the wooden handle doesn‘t fit for the dedica, right? If it does, i‘d really like to know which exact ohne it is.
Theres several on amazon made in China bottomless portafilters. I have bought one 4 weeks ago it took 3 weeks to arrive
@@thisizamra would you recommend it?
@@anton2474 the quality is on the price level. I paid like 18€ i guess maybe 21€. The head and the handle can be taken a part it’s hold up with a screw system.
I think the head is not really stainless steel but alloyed like that. So far it works fine and I am happy with it but I am sure if you are willing to pay more you can get better equipment but its not easy to find for 51mm.
I also costumized the original delonghi portafilter. I cut the plastic part inside so that the 17g filter can fit inside if wanted. So now I have options of bottomless or with bottom and 13 or 17g coffee etc
So confused, why not just leave out the plastic bit altogether without all the cutting? Does it produce more crema? I just use mine without the plastic thingy.
Can you screw the middle screw in ?
@@guan5849 Basically, not. The screw goes into the plastic part. You could block the screw hole in some other ways, but in my experience it doesn't give me any trouble. The coffee drips out of the regular two holes only.
Hi, can you say me what name of frother?
How to clean the pressurized portafilter if I don't have the powder please?

Hi what is the size of the filter basket?
Why not to entirely remove the plastic part?
There's a screw at the bottom and if you remove it completely there's an extra hole where the screw was
And how is that a problem? Does it make it messy for coffee to come out of it or something else?@@alinaqirizvi1441
@@akashbansal214 yes very messy
This is what I neeedd! Thank youuu!!!
Plastic taste on the first few uses?
Good idea and video.
i did that to my 680, extraction was horrible...no crema its was literally just dripped coffee. any advice?
Mine was the same.... I'm
going back to the old one.
- Do not use old beans (maximum 1 month after roasting)
- Only grind as many beans as necessary each time.
- Perhaps you did not tamp properly, did not use enough powder or ground too coarsely?
I’m using the dedica grinder on the finest setting but it always times at 18 secs. Any tips?
The dedica grinder cannot grind it finely enough.
I'm copying my reply to another guy:
hey, you need to modify the grinder (there are vids on youtube). type delonghi kg79 (or what's the name of yours) modification and follow the instructions. I did it 3-4 times, it's quite easy. After that you'll get the max out of that grinder, which is not good at all by default
the key is to turn that knob a couple of times, reassemble, try it, and do it again until you are satisfied. I turned mine 6 or 7 clicks, but every grinder is different, so you need to find your way. some people turn it more, some less

What is better espresso with the single basket: 1) bottomless portafilter or 2) standard dedica portafilter with the cutted black plastic insert? Why do you cut the black plastic part if you are having a bottomless portafilter?
Do you face any temperature difference of the espresso of both solutions?
I can clearly see the difference of the bottomless portafilter when it is not tamp hard enough. Or grind coarse coffee beans, the liquid will splash around. As for the taste and temperature, I don't think much of a difference.
@@ArtyHome Thanks for your reply. And also thanks for your nice videos
Is there a need to seal the cutted black plastic part to the aluminium part? Otherwise there will get some coffee in between. Do you have there any issue?
@@steffenlehmann3610 agree, when its cut, there is no seal.. this will affect cleaning process too. too tedious
Hello, I am from Bangladesh. I use the same machine. But only has access to chinese bottomless portafilters. Used the same grind settings as yours on my timemore C2. Before I used to get a clear shot but now there is an overflow every time. Doesn’t happen with my pressurized portafilter but the chinese bottomless is actually very loose so I feel like that’s what is causing it. Can you please help with this?
Beautiful video
interesting. the link for the 51mm basket explicitly says : Not fit : Delonghi Dedica 685, EC260BK, E680, EC220cd, 3630, EC720, EC155, EC685, EC680M, 680,Delonghi
Because it's too deep. They assume people will just try to pop it in, hence the mod to the plastic insert.
@@devildog8328 thank you. i ended up solving this a little while back. bought a used basket and cut the black insert part in half, as you described here. ty.
Please, keep making these videos!
de Italia: muchas gracias por su video que me permitió arreglar mi cafetera yo solo con el gasto de la pieza de repuesto
what do you do with surplus of ground coffee? (f.e, you remove 3 gr from ground coffee in this video) are you throwing it the garbage or using it later? I see you throw it in a basket but ı don't know if it is trash and I hope it isn't trash.
Espresso is a bit wasteful by nature. Changing grind size needs purging to remove old grounds from the grinder, and many shots are pulled and thrown away when dialing in.
Most people dump them, i tend to keep them in a spare mason jar, and use them when I'm out of coffee. Though, being such fine grinds of different sized, the coffee I get out of it is never very good.
Alternatively, you could use those grounds/used coffee to cultivate mushrooms. Mushroom "Seeds" are not very expensive and they grow well on coffee grounds.
@@MrMarki134 ı dont mean used grinded coffe after taking espresso. I mean surplus grinded coffee more than 17 grams
before taking espresso shot. And also good idea to using used coffe in cultivating thanks. it is maybe also good for the flowers.
I'm sorry, I dropped it. I didn't adjust the amount of ground coffee in this video, so there was more coffee than I could use.
But the coffee I have used. I'll put it under the tree in my garden.
@@ArtyHome I think we should not waste the coffee, you can save every 3-4 gr surplus coffee until it makes 14 gr. And you can use this 14 gr accumulated coffee to make espresso to your guests who you don't like too much :)
Can someone provide what basket is this ?
Чому просто не виктнути цей пластік? Він потрібний для того щоб зловити струю від стандартної корзинки і розподілити її на дві. Нашо він після апгрейду?
If you remove it completely there's a screw hole left open
Can you just pull that black plastic thing out altogether instead of cutting it?
Not sure if can tighten the middle screw
Hi! In what temperature do you set the Dedica? Thanks.
Now I set it to low.
do u know what the °C for LOW ,MEDIUM ,HIGH ?? not write at the manual
@@ArtyHome what's the difference?
@@ArtyHome such a short extraction time and low temperature seems to get weak and acidic shot.
@@yellowfans1215 Quite big. Low temperature lower extraction and higher acidity. Higher temperature more strong and bitter shot.
I would just remove the plastic and block the screw hole with a little bigger SUS screw. Whatever how you file the plastic, every cup of coffee will be contaminated. Beware.
great video ! i also want try this MOD ,but the black cover beside have 1-1.5mm space ,any effect if use pressurefilter ?
sorry for my poor english ~😂
I haven't tried.
I'm going to try it soon.
who's singing on the background?
Hai. What is the total length for cutting the black plastic?
I cut 15mm.
Are there Mods also for E.S.E. ??
What the different between with the plastic part and with out ?
Without a plastic part coffee also comes out of the screw hole, thus, you can't extract to 2 cups.
i agree, good work 💪
i don’t think i understand the “why” of what was done, might someone explain this please ~
Well normal non-pressurised filter baskets don't fit in the normal Dedica portafilter because of the plastic insert, however you can't remove the insert as it would leave an extra screw hole at the bottom of the portafilter, so the solution is to cut the insert to allow a normal basket to fit
Whats your opinion on the Dedica dude? Also mine has developed an issue with the power button doesnt click in place (after several tried it does) so should I open it up and fix it myself you think? Peace
There's a comment on another TH-cam video that a guy teaches how to fix this. I can't find it right now, but if you google search you might get some results. The TLDR is to put your machine upside down (get the water out first, obviously) and then press the bottom (now up) against the machine itself and at the same time press the button. I did it to my machine and it worked. One piece of advice: after it, just leave the machine on stand-by mode forever, don't use the power button anymore, just leave it "on" and when you need to turn it on, just press one of the top button and it wakes up from stand-by mode.
@@pedroleal8543 I didnt know there was a standby option so i figured that out on how to but ill try to fix the button myself i think aswell just to get that out of the way. Thanks for taking the time!
@@amhazey No problem. Meanwhile, I found the comment: "For anyone coming here looking for help with an inoperable power switch - I removed the bottom cover of my machine and noticed that the plastic housing of the machine interferes with the plastic switch. When I had it upside down the switch would engage properly. If your switch doesn't click and stay `on', try turning the machine upside down and/or pressing down on the base while pushing in the switch."
@@pedroleal8543 my solution to prevent the problem is never to switch the power off. it goes off automatically after 9 mins only

Hello, how big is your tamper?
51mm
You just had to seal the screw hole with a screw and nut and washer of the same size!
Did you really cut it????
Hi, whats your mod for the steam wand?
You try to follow this link. th-cam.com/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/w-d-xo.html
Why would you need to modify?
The video doesn't explain, but the normal non-pressurised basket won't fit into the portafilter due to the stupid plastic insert blocking it. To make it fit, they've cut the plastic lip down so that the new basket can drop down fully. A better approach would be to remove the plastic insert altogether as it only acts to channel the high pressure jet of the pressurised basket and isn't needed for a normal one. Also it's a place where old coffee can build up underneath and start to foul and give bad flavours. Remove the insert and then simply use without. If you want a 2 cup portafilter, just put the screw back in with a nut to hold it in place and the two spouts will work as before. If you don't need the two spouts at all, a better option is to cut the bottom off the PF completely, or even better just buy a bottomless PF.
Hi, Did you modify your machine, changing the water pressure on the coffee tablet?
Do you use the filter that came with the bottomless portafilter or did you order a specific one?
I ordered the 18g basket and made some modifications to the portafilter.
th-cam.com/video/nSAoIWBuljY/w-d-xo.html
@@ArtyHome Yeah I understood the modifiying part, but I wanna know if you ordered the basket from anywhere in particular or if it came with the wooden handle?
@Arty home can you use the other portafilter with the non pressurized basket ?
Why can’t you just use the other basket altogether
Will the graef filter fit too?
No
make coffe with aot oppening, like it!
The video used the “single option” for the double basket. That could be reason for those who could not achieve créma.
Is that why im fukin up my crema eeeveeeryyy day? Just use the single option for my double basket? just yesterday a 250g of beans landed in the trash when i was trying my crema...

I just ordered the double non-pressurized basket for my Dedica 685 as per your link, but I just noticed after ordering it that the information in the Amazon listing says that it does not fit the Dedica EC685. I am a bit confused now.
did it fit?
@@joshuabaxter4479 Yes -Joshua it did fit!! But-- I also bought a naked/bottomless porta-filter handle. And for me this has been excellent!! Its' all I use now. I can get a really great coffee out of my Dedica with it. Coffee is a hobby of mine, and I think it is very good to have the naked porta-filter to go with a Dedica, and its really worth the money!!
can you give the link of this portafilter?@@leoniefassy5488
better than pressurized filter DeLonghi ?
Better than a pressure filter, DeLonghi can fit more ground coffee. And the ground coffee used must be finely.
Coffee with a rich and mellow taste.
I need your help. I have also the dedica and the delonghi grinder like you (not modified). I recently bought a bottomless portafilter and the water ist just rushung trough the filter. I put the watertemperature on high. Is the delonghi grinder not good enough, so it is on the first level, the finest. Is it not fine enough?
The Espresso is very thin and there is no crema. The basket holds 16 grams of powder.
What can i do?
The espresso is 70% arabica and 30% robusta and fresh roasted.
hey, you need to modify the grinder (there are vids on youtube). type delonghi kg79 (or what's the name of yours) modification and follow the instructions. I did it 3-4 times, it's quite easy. After that you'll get the max out of that grinder, which is not good at all by default

You could also just punch a bigger hole in the pressurized basket and get an unpressurized one :D
True, but drilling that hole is a little tricky without mangling the basket. I did that, and the metal was harder to cleanly drill than I thought it would be.
Thanks for the video! Have you tried the original basket but WITHOUT the black piece? I am afraid cofre will just flow everywhere, doing a mess 😅
I only want to remove the plastic piece to avoid microplastics and those things.
I just tried and had some filters from a La Pavoni 51mm. Removed the plastic completely and poured a shot. The espresso was flowing from the top as well so that does not work unless the filter is fully compatible with EC685. The filter basket mentioned in the description of this video is also NOT compatible according to the Amazon description of the product.
Why not just use the bottomless portafilter you have instead of changing up this one? What am I missing here?
It's for people who don't have a bottomless portafilter or people who do and want a double spouted portafilter as well as their bottomless one
should you do this just becuase its cheaper than buying a new non pressurized portafilter for it or is there another reason?
Because You often need to do it to fit in non pressurized portafilter/basket in the wand.

Great espresso shot, 17grams in 34grams out in 30secs! 👏👏👏 Have you ever modified the water amount on Dedica machine for single/double shot?
I reset the amount of water by pressing the button next to it. Until the desired amount of liquid and time is obtained. Release the button, the device will remember this value for the next time.
@@ArtyHome how to do ? hold button until the water is reach 30-35ml and then release ?
