Q: Where can I find an instruction manual for the Delonghi EC330s coffee machine?
I bought this coffee machine at a discount store as it came without an instruction booklet. I would like the instruction manual for it but am unable to find one. Preferably I would like it to be free (internet maybe) but I am prepared to pay also. Thank you.

Q: delonghi esam6600 coffee machine?
hiya....bought a delonghi esam6600 coffee machine....absolutly awsome and would reccomend anyone whos thinking of getting one to do just that. however im not a big coffee pro and am finding it difficult to set themachine to make the perfect cappachino, latte and flat white to the cup size.
can somone who has this machine tell me how much milk/coffee the machine needs to pour in so it makes the perfect cup of each i stated above. e.g when you hold the cappachino button for 8 secs to set the limits according to cup size....how much milk to how much coffee do you allow the machne to pour until you stop it.
hope that makes sence...thanks.
A: Getting it right is a matter of trial and error. You need to adjust for the type of bean, the grind, and your personal taste. Start by following the recomendations in the manual. Keep a log. Adjust to your personal taste.
Q: where to buy replacement carafe for a DeLonghi Caffe Nabucco coffee machine?
A: I'd start looking at amazon.com. If they don't have a replacement carafe, you may have to order it from the manufacturer. Do you have the intruction brochure that came with your machine? Look there.
Q: Delonghi Caffe Sorrento Espresso Machine does anyone know how to use the steamer i can make the coffee but
having trouble with the steamer it has the nozzle and warms up but doesn't do anything else i don't have the directions
A: I have a DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 machine, so maybe it's similar:) ..
Make your coffee as usual.
1) Fill a metal container with about 3.5 oz. of cold milk
2) Move the milk frother to the outside of the machine
3) Press the steam function button. It will start flashing to indicate that it's heating up
4) When the light remains on steadiy, the temperature is ready to steam...immediately (within no more than 2 min - or it will switch back), put the tip of the frother into the container of milk.
5) Turn the steam control dial half-turn clockwise until it stops. The steam released will make the milk froth increase in volume.
6) when it stops, put the the steam control dial back where it was...
Q: Whats a good standard coffee machine brand?
I just want a standard one, nothing out standing. $200-$400
Which is better Black and decker, krups, breville, Delonghi, Gaggia, Eurolab. If they all have the same features and around the same prices, which brand is more trusted.
A: In that price range, i'd go with the Delonghi or Gaggia. The american brands don't really make a good, consistent machine and are only put out to fill a gap in the market...
Also, don't get the machines that make both drip and espresso because those aren't very good. Get an espresso machine with a frother.
Q: Delonghi Ad Music - Violin Piece?
This is going to sound crazy.
I have watched a few Delonghi coffee machine advertisements and they have a particular classical piece that features in all the ads. Its a violin piece (not solo). I'm not music savvy at all (I only know I love the tune) so I can't give you any notes or indication of who the composer may be. I'm hoping that someone who has a music knowledge has also seen the ads and knows what the piece is called. Thank you.
A: I had never seen the commercial, but I found videos of De Longhi commercials at their website.
If it's the commercial with the woman at a party with a fancy black dress, I'm not sure if that's a classical piece. There is also some singing, and what sounds like a modern band playing in the background.
The theme doesn't sound familiar to me, so it may just be a jingle written for the commercial to sound like chamber music.
I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on it. ;-)
Q: Coffee machine w/ bean hopper & grinder?
I am looking to purchase a good drip coffee brewer that also contains a built-in bean grinder. I have a grinder currently but, as messy as it is, so long as I am buying a new machine I want one that has the entire operation built-in.
I was wondering if any of you have any experience with any specific machines and could offer me any recommendations (or steer me away from troublesome machines).
NOTE: I currently own a DeLonghi Magnifico espresso machine (which was about $1200) so I do not want/need an espresso machine. The Magnifico does make coffee but it does so by the cup - I want a machine that produces coffee in a carafe.
A: Cuisnart is a good brand for home use that has the grinder feature. You can pick them up for a little less than a hundred. Still have to do some extra cleaning of the grinder in between uses. The Starbucks Brand Dehlonghi is very similar but cost a lot more with little or no additional features.
However with that said I still believe the easy and less effort is to grind your own then transfer it to a brewer. It will still be less work due to the fact on both brewers water gets in where the grinders are causing one to do lot of extra cleaning.
If you want great coffee at home the Bunn wins hands down. fast brewing time and the coffee is hot. They extract well and cost around 150.00.\\\
If you want great tasting coffee; try prewetting your coffee after putting it in the filter and inside the brew basket. Let this set . This causes a chemical reaction that will give you a coffee house taste. The commercial brewers at Starbucks and other highend coffee shop have this feature built in to ensure this beginning process. A few of the bunn brewers and Fetco brewers for home use does this as well.
You may also check out http://www.thecoffeemakers.net for more coffee makers reviews is the web address I believe where a lot of reviews are posted. Amazon also does a good job of posting consumer reviews of coffee makers.
Good Luck in your purchase. Enjoy the coffee.

Q: ESAM6600 DeLonghi - how to make weaker coffee? or is it the coffee beans?
Just new owner of a Prima Donna ESAM 6600 - I know price is ouch but it's an Excellent Automatic Machine better than my old GAGGIA and it is much quicker but the coffee I make on Gaggia tastes better than DeLonghi - I don't know whether it is the coffee beans I have been given for free or I need to adjust something on the machine, I have selected extra-mild taste but it still tastes strong. I enjoy drinking Lavazza - 100% Arabic beans. I am yet to try this one on the ESAM6600 as I have opened Free coffee beans of LaZumba which is a mix of exotic ethiopian beans. Any coffee lovers out there can help me understand coffee beans or machine better?
A: I think it's the beans. Ethopian beans seem to make a stronger brew than Arbica beans. I'd simply try adding a bit of hot water to the finished coffee to weaken it to your liking, if you'd like to use the free beans up before buying more of your prefered brand.
Q: Help, instructions for coffee machine?
Hi guys, i bought a second hand cofee machine and i can't tell whether i am doing something wrong or whether it is actually broken, i tried looking for the instructions on the net but i can't find them so i was hoping someone might know where i could download/find them on the web from.
It's by 'delonghi' and the only information given on the machine is on the base and are as follows:
CAT: BCS
TYP: BC0120 [i'm assuming this is the model]
220-240V-50/60 Hz
1700W
thank you
A: It looks to me like you've bought a European model of one of their combo (coffee/espresso) machines. The first 3 characters of the model number are all letters - BCO - and then the 2nd 3 characters are numbers. The Delhonghi website shows the BCO110 model, but not the 120 - could be that they no longer make it.
One idea, if yours is one of the combo models, and if you can find instructions for the 110 online, you'll probably be able to use them.
Or you could contact Delonghi and ask them to send you a user manual.
I know that doesn't help you fix your coffee this morning - sorry!
Q: BARISTAS HELP! Bought my first espresso machine, now what? What are the extra accessories I need?
I just bought my first espresso machine; it's "DeLonghi BCO130T Combination Coffee/Espresso Machine". Here is the link to the product:
http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-BCO130T-Combination-Espresso-Machine/dp/B000F2M16O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1205453139&sr=1-1
I'm pretty good at navigating the net, but I cannot find a place that tells me exactly what I need! Do I get a grinder for beans? Also, I was going to get a frothing pitcher and a thermometer, do I really need these? I was also looking into getting some of the espresso pods. I know that they won't taste as good, but it will be great for those mornings when I'm in a rush! The pods say that your machine has to be designed to accept "ESE" coffee pods. I was looking at the machine's manual online and couldn't find this anywhere. Is there anything else I need? Oh and by the way, I usually drink lattes and stuff like that. Thanks for your help in advance!!! =o)
A: Ok, I'm not a barista, but I have an espresso machine.
You could get a grinder for the espresso beans, or just buy it already ground. I don't use a thermometer, so it might be nice, although not necessary. You need something to use to steam/froth the milk, though a specific frothing pitcher isn't necessary. I use a ceramic mug. I've been told that either ceramic or stainless steel mugs work well. Note: keep this in the fridge, it somehow helps with the frothing...not sure why.
Hope this helps.
Q: What Espresso machine do you recommend?
I am hoping to spend $100- 200. Some brands I have seen on eBay: DeLonghi, Nespresso, Krups, Gaggia, and Mr. Coffee.
Please help! This is an anniversary gift for my husband.
Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine?
A: I have a Krups brand and have been very happy with it.
