Flat white on a DeLonghi EC680 EC685

I love coffee and use this channel to keep track of my coffee tournee and latte art progress.
As a barista set I have a Profitec Pro 700 and a Baratza Sette 270.
During holidays I enjoy using my DeLonghi EC685

Thanks:-)

Simple effective video. Thanks. What wand is that?

[@dutchhomebarista]

It's the Rancilio Silvia V1/V2 steam wand. Here is a link to a youtube video on how to do the modification. th-cam.com/video/5AOTa3bEpYM/w-d-xo.html (it took me about 30 minutes)

Hi, great video! I’ve just got one of these machines so I’m a complete beginner. Which grinder do you use?

[@dutchhomebarista]

The grinder is a GUFU Lorenzo.

[@BigCheese85]

Nice. Why did you pour the milk into the second just?

[@dutchhomebarista]

Thanks. I have the idea that it makes the milk smoother and better distributed.

[@lookinvictory]

Hi! Could you specify how much grams of coffee you use? Also, do you adjust the time if extraction or is by default? Thanks

[@dutchhomebarista]

I use ~9 grams.
My handgrinder grinds to coarse or to fine to get the time at 25-30sec. Thats why the extraction is so long. I prefere to stop/abort the extraction manualy.

[@lookinvictory]

Dutch Home Barista thanks!

[@dutchhomebarista]

@@dtv4251x Yes 14 gram is better.

My steam arm doesn't seem to run for that long but I followed the same process you did. My jug still has water left at the end too so I don't think it's that. Is there a setting I need to change to get a longer steam delivery?

[@dutchhomebarista]

Hi Matthew, it takes a lot of practice. Changing the steam wand helped me to make better steam.

[@matthewcarter2677]

@@dutchhomebarista Thanks, I'll keep at it.

[@matthewcarter2677]

@@dutchhomebarista Well I'm an idiot. The steam wand purge position is not the steam position. Now I just need to learn how to dial it in for different coffees. Thanks again.

[@lonelyheart871]

how much milk ( in millimeters) did you add ?

[@dutchhomebarista]

~140mm milk added. The jug is 350ml.

[@lonelyheart871]

Thanks

[@Am-qv2oe]

you used fresh milk or cream milk?

[@dutchhomebarista]

Hi Am, I use whole pasteurized milk.

Yes I replaced the original wand by a "rancilio silvia V1/V2" steam wand". You can buy the wand on ebay or amazon. On youtube there are video's on how to do the modification. If you are a bit technical but not that hard to do. It took me ~30 minutes.

@@dutchhomebarista thank u so muc for the tip..im gonna try n watch some mod videos n get some ideas..🙏🏻😊🙋🏻‍♂️

[@Dro_gon]

Thanks. Can you make a latte? Because I can't tell the difference

[@dutchhomebarista]

A latte has more milk and less coffee.

[@cigaretteaftercats]

Flat white has double shot espresso

[@Theworshipkeeper]

How firmly are you tamping the coffee please? You dont give it away in any of your videos. Thanks 😀

[@dutchhomebarista]

Hi Paul, I use a metal tamper. I "rest" the upper end of the basket on the kitchen counter and tamp:-)

[@Theworshipkeeper]

@@dutchhomebarista Thankyou. How much pressure do you apply? How compressed should the grounds be 😁? Thankyou

[@dutchhomebarista]

@@Theworshipkeeper I just gif it a frim tamp. It's more important to tamp with a constant pressure.
