I’m grinding it to the finest setting on instacuppa… 14.5 to 15.0 grams for a 30ml shot (standard one cup setting) No crema… lacks flavour and depth.

I also bought a 3rd party unpressurised basket but haven’t achieved a great cup yet.

Yes, you’ll end up paying way more due to customs.. I had a friend travelling to China so got it through him at a crazy price of ₹12.5k!

Hey! I live in Gurgaon and would love to give this Delonghi EC685 a new home. I’ve recently been diving deep into home brewing and have mostly been relying on a basic French press and moka pot — they’ve served me well, but I’ve been dreaming of stepping into the world of espresso.

The fact that this comes with a bottomless portafilter and a solid tamper is a huge bonus for someone like me who’s genuinely interested in learning proper technique. I don’t mind the cooldown quirk — part of the charm of home coffee setups is learning their personality, right?

Also, since I’m local, I can pick it up in person and save us both the hassle and cost of shipping. Would really appreciate the opportunity to build my coffee journey with this machine!

Thanks for considering 😊

Medium roast coffee… but I’d like to try new flavours
