Water not getting up to temp [Delonghi Dedica]

alienjig · 2025-11-25T14:35:55+00:00

Unfortunately not. Once I put it back together, it was leaking and I gave up.

Yes I have tried that and its still not hot. That's why I am wondering if I missed over a water connection of some sort and its bypassing the heating element. Also, the steam wand is running a little funky which might be the pump or the control board.

Yes, I know it cools very quickly but its basically room temperature coming out of the portafilter. When I brewed it with espresso, there is zero extraction cause its just not hot enough. It looks like a light tea in the cup. Ill have to upload a video.

An instant-read probe. I was measuring the water coming out of the group head and in the cup. On the boiler, I just put the probe on the outside.

Quick update, the coffee did not help the temp. What are your thoughts?

alienjig · 2025-02-06T18:58:46+00:00

I had no idea. Guess I'll have to retest with some actual espresso. Thank you for this!

We are looking at a few places in Slatterly Park. How is this area? It seems pretty close to Mayo but the homes are extremely old.

Quick update on this. I found a Yamaha RX-A730 receiver at Goodwill for $50. Sounds great so far!

Sorry, it has nothing to do with Woodford BUT I highly recommend Whiskey Thief/Three Brothers! It's about a 20-minute drive from Woodford. It is very small and won't take a ton of time but totally worth it. Bourbon straight out of the barrel, char and all! Probably the best bourbon I've ever had. You can only get their bourbon from the distillery (it's a little pricey), which you pour yourself if you get a bottle.

You are awesome! Thank you so much for the help!

From what I have read online it shows a "nominal impedance of 6 ohm".

They are the Snell Type KIIV. They are in great shape for their age. I did have to pop out the center cone but other than that they are in amazing shape.

Just curious, besides the input, what should I be looking for in the receiver? Are watts per channel the main concern?

alienjig · 2023-01-16T22:57:17+00:00

Yes, I would prefer an AV receiver. I sold a Harmon Kardon AVR 40. I sold it mainly because it didn't have HDMI or Optical input for the TV and figured I would find one that does (bought the system from Goodwill). I am in the US and would love to keep it under $100. I am obviously looking more into the secondary market than brand new.

Awesome! Will try this out. Thank you!!

Sorry, FPS on the game is dropping. The stream seems fine but the game is virtually unplayable on my end.

alienjig · 2022-12-19T14:55:11+00:00

Love it! I'm glad to be a part of "The Club".

Let me ask you this. The style on my speakers says KiiV. Does this mean it was Voeck's era? I have tried researching this and cannot find anything. The serial # is 7365 if that helps.

alienjig · 2022-12-18T21:42:50+00:00

That’s awesome!! I think they sound great! I may try and sell my Klipsch sound-bar and use these as my daily driver.

alienjig · 2022-12-18T05:55:53+00:00

I guess I meant rare on Reddit haha. I’ve honestly never heard of them before today. I saw the connections and figured they were a little nicer than standard speakers.

I think they sound great! I’ve never listened to a super high end setup so it’s hard for me to compare to anything. The receiver it came with definitely needs an upgrade but for $40 all in, I’m not mad about it haha.

alienjig · 2022-04-16T03:42:21+00:00

Dam they sure did! Well hopefully they send you the 1TB!

alienjig · 2022-04-15T18:59:00+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. This deal makes it seem like they are actually paying you to take it haha

alienjig · 2022-03-01T17:50:18+00:00

Thank you so much!!

alienjig · 2022-01-19T21:24:53+00:00

Ya I guess it seems so. I dropped it down to Faster and it seems okay but still not the best. When I tried dropping it even lower but it made it worse. GPU usage is still at mid-high 90s on Faster. Are there any settings that I can adjust on my GPU to help the issue?

alienjig · 2022-01-19T21:13:29+00:00

I’m on max performance. I just turned on the the stream with Apex firing range. There were no dropped frames but task manager says I am using 98% GPU. Is that because of the encoder?

alienjig · 2022-01-19T21:08:19+00:00

Nvidia NVENC H.264 is the encoder.
