I own a DeLonghi EC155 and love it. Only problem I am having is with the 2 cup filter assembly. The espresso seems to get stuck and comes out very slowly. Could the holes be plugged up? What can I do about this? Replacing it is too expensive for the cost of item vs the whole unit.
Also, I get leaks at times. I have used this machine daily for like 2 years so it has really worked well all this time. Can I do something about this filter?? Any ideas?
I have had my De Longhi EC155 for a few years now. I love it. Only problem I am having is that the 2 cup filter assembly is plugged up or something. The expresso is coming down really slowly. Not sure if the holes get plugged up or what. Anyone have the same issues? It also leaks at times, but I have used it daily for a long time. :)
I figured at this price point it was a roll of the dice. I would have spent more but I was afraid I wouldn't use it enough to justify it. So far, I have been surprised. Most criticize the steam quality. The short arm is fine if you use a small single serve pitcher. After practicing, I can get...

Hi, we just bought our machine a week ago and have yet to have it make great espresso. The machine appears to run thru the coffe so fast the end product is something more like weak coffee to light tea. What are we doing wrong?
I just received my EC 155 last night. The unit that the portafilter attaches to is not aligned. Is there a way to move it without ruining the machine so that the holes where the espresso comes out will line up with the larger holes on the drip tray? or is this defective? Also wondering how the baskets lock into the portafilter? I assume there must be a way to lock them in so that they don't fall into the trash or knock box every time you empty the used grounds.
Does this machine have the capability to make regular coffee as well as espresso? Or just espresso and hot water? Thanks,
Caitlyn

Is there a permanent filter.
I am trying to find a combination machine that makes espresso (so i can make starbucks-type drinks at home) and regular coffee for my husband. All the ones I see seem to have terrible ratings. Do you know of a good one that is moderately priced?
I currently have a Nespresso but it doesn't make espresso for my latte drink the way I like, i.e., it is not strong enough.
Thanks !!
Hi !
I just ordered one of these machines. What size tamper do I need to get for it?
Thanks!!!! Can't wait for some awesome espresso!!!!!!!!!
I tried making my first latte, and I couldn't get the process down for frothing the milk and making the espresso. I made the espresso first, which was great and perfect, but the frother spued out hot water not steam. My old maker could do both at the same time. Apparently this one can't.
Question: Do I froth the milk first in a cup. then pack the coffee in the machine and make the espresso? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to get steam, not hot water.
Thanks for you help.
techkathy Have you descaled or decalcified the machine recently? Cleaning the machine with the portafilter in place can clear up any clogs.
The machine shouldn't really leak, even occasionally. I would recommend contacting DeLonghi to see if there is a simple fix.
