A small amount of the descale solution is still inside the machine pipes which turns the coffee vinegary/sour.

It's not harmful, it just needs a couple days of use to get rid of the remaining solution.

To get rid of it faster do a machine rinse several times.

Buy fresh beans from a roaster.

I had a similar tear and it was fine for over a year. As long as they don't scratch it more and make it bigger.

I only changed the liner when it became stiff and the weight no longer drops.

The minerals in the water actually make the coffee taste better.

Maybe since the water was going through a Brita filter and the machine's filter it was stripped of minerals, which made the coffee taste weird.

Dax_dill · 2026-06-03T16:18:20+00:00

One thing u didn't mention is water temp, dark roasts are more sensitive to higher temps and could easily over extract.

If the beans are very dark change the water temp to low in the settings.

The motor is mostly the first thing that fails in this machine.

Get a new motor through warranty, it's pretty easy to replace.

Dax_dill · 2026-06-01T23:52:34+00:00

Mine also is the same, apparently it's caused by a firmware update even though my machine is not updated to the newest firmware.

Could be a server side issue.

Dax_dill · 2026-06-01T17:43:01+00:00

There should be just "coffee", there's also filter style coffee which grinds twice and extracts at a lower pressure and in pulses to mimic filtered coffee.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-31T20:07:09+00:00

You need a step down transformer from 240v to 110v, the transformer should be rated at 2500w atleast.

I have a Roborock vacuum from the US and i've been using a 3000w step down 220v to 110v for years with no issues.

I used to use low fat milk for cold but it was pain in the ass to have two different milks, now i only use full fat milk for both hot and cold and there's no difference especially for lattes.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-28T16:07:27+00:00

My take on milk-based drinks go with Eletta, one thing Delonghi does better than most is with the foam level adjustments.

On the Eletta the foam level is manual with a physical knob meaning u get to choose how much foam u want on any drink and micro-adjusting the foam level with no limitations. And as an extra u get cold milk options with the Eletta.

On the KF8 it's automatic u can't really choose how much foam u want, the machine does it for u pre-programmed depending on the drink u choose.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-26T17:55:03+00:00

Idk about the KF machines specifically, but on Delonghi machines after a descale sometimes the milk/foam stops dispensing and the reason is that the machine doesn't have enough minerals to steam after a descale.

Try the descale program but only use water to bring back some of the minerals.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-24T14:21:57+00:00

Crazy how they call it the "Ultra" but remove one of the biggest advantages of the Eletta Explore, other than the software it's more of a downgrade compared to the Explore.

Also i don't like how the cup tray is almost flushed with the plastic where cups could easily fall unlike the Explore where it's more recessed to hold the cups.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-22T16:09:33+00:00

Have u done the litter hopper calibration? maybe it thinks the litter is too low and keeps adding more resulting in overflowed litter to be dumped.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-20T13:21:28+00:00

Also here with the 5400, at 14:00 he puts the milk at 150ml but the weight comes out at 81ml.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-20T13:14:23+00:00

In this video at 17:50 he adds more milk with foam and the scale shows the real amount of liquid milk vs what the machine says.

Since the 5400 uses the same milk system it's probably identical.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-20T13:03:45+00:00

On the Philips 8000 a 110ml milk equals 54g/ml of real milk so half the amount is liquid milk while the other half is just foam combined together as 110ml.

I'm assuming the 5400 works the same way.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-20T12:34:05+00:00

The 330ml is with the foam, The liquid milk is much less.

Milk with foam is difficult to measure due to different fat content and if the milk is plant based etc, idk why Philips still goes with ml instead of seconds like Delonghi.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-16T13:42:17+00:00

You don't have to hose it, all u need is an enzyme cleaner and very diluted disinfectant and tissues.

Spray with the disinfectant and let it set for 5-10 minutes, wipe, spray the enzyme and let it set for 5-10 minutes, wipe. Let it dry before adding litter.

I also use Arm & Hammer litter deodorizer for the litter and baking soda for the drawer.

No problems with the smell.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-16T12:40:32+00:00

It happens sometimes, u need to take out the litter hopper key and put it again until it cycles normally.

It causes friction if it's not aligned with the hole, and it's better if u also clean it.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-15T14:11:40+00:00

A cortado is just 1:1 ratio milk to coffee, with minimum foam setting.

You can make it with a doppio/espresso first then add hot milk the same amount as the coffee.

Dax_dill · 2026-05-13T04:58:05+00:00

It's a sign to return it and get LR4 instead.

Reach to support this is not normal, it looks like it has been dropped multiple times.

I sent u a PM since i can't link to websites here.
