What Is The Correct Tamper Size For DeLonghi Coffee Machine?
I recently bought a DeLonghi Icona coffee machine. The machine comes with a built in tamper and also a ordinary plastic tamper. To be honest the built in tamper is next to useless and the plastic one well it will do until I buy a better one and that brings me to my question.
I contacted DeLonghi and asked them what size of a tamper they recommended for the Icona and received the following reply: “The tamper on the Icona measures 49mm.” While the Icona’s supplied tampers each measure 49mm use of the machine would suggest that is way to small.
So question any of you guys out there own a DeLonghi Icona coffee machine and if so what size of a tamper do you use. From what I see it has to be 52 or 53mm
Thanks in advance

Why don’t you measure it yourself?
Just use the group basket provided with the machine and measure the inside wall of it across the widest point. Make sure not to measure the rim of the basket, as that’ll add on an extra 2-3mm. If in doubt, go for the slightly smaller size. It’s only 1mm of difference, and if you were able to detect that in your espresso then I’m thoroughly impressed.
However, if you’re buying a good quality tamper (I’m talking Greg Pullman or Reg Barber, which retail at around $150) then you might want to be a bit more precise measuring it! Although, I think one of those brands let’s you send in the basket, and from which they’ll design a tamper perfectly suited to it. Pretty neat.
And I know what you mean about the self tamper. My Saeco has one and it frustrates me so much. Feels like I’m not in control of my espresso quality as much =(

where to buy replacement carafe for a DeLonghi Caffe Nabucco coffee machine?
bjw answers:
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.
Mandy asks…
can i use Vietnamese butter roasted coffee in an espresso machine?
I have a new Delonghi coffee machine and I also have some vietnamese coffee which has a delicious hazelnut taste. I used to mix it with Italian coffee grounds and use it in my old espresso machine.
I guess I am concerned because the Vietnamese coffee I have is butter roasted. Don’t want to gum anything up.
Thanks for answering.
bjw answers:
Hi! Jennimhk,
Yes, you can use Vietnamese butter roasted coffee in espresso coffee machine.
Roasting coffee beans will determine the taste. Espresso coffee bean is darker then normal roasted coffee bean.

Brewer Maintenance
Cleaning the brewer
Regular cleaning will prolong the life of the brewer and is recommended for proper operation. We recommend you clean the external components with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids. The K-Cup holder and funnel, drip plate and drip tray (on the Elite, Classic, Ultra, Special Edition, Ultimate, Platinum, Select and B155) are dishwasher safe. The removable water reservoir and water reservoir removable lid are NOT dishwasher safe so you’ll need to clean them by hand.
Additionally, when brewing hot cocoa, Café Escapes or Perfect Iced Tea K-Cups, you should always remove these K-Cups after brewing and perform a cleansing brew to ensure that the K-Cup Holder is clear of any residue.
Please ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions are in or near the removable water reservoir as this may contaminate your water supply.
Cleaning the K-Cup Holder 1.Remove the K-Cup assembly
To remove the assembly from the brewer, open the cover by lifting the handle. Grasp the top of the K-Cup Holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the assembly from underneath with the other until it releases. The K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.
2.Clean the Funnel
The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup Holder by pulling on it until it snaps off. The Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it just snap it back onto the K-Cup Holder.
3.Clean the exit needle
The exit needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder. If coffee grounds or cocoa mix gets clogged in the exit needle, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove the Funnel from the K-Cup Holder, insert the paper clip into the tube and move it around to loosen the clog and remove any debris. Please note, you cannot poke all the way through the needle as the opening of the needle is located on the side and not the top.
4.Install the K-Cup assembly into the brewer
After cleaning, align the K-Cup Holder tabs with the opening placing the two front tabs on the bottom and the single tab on top and snap it into place by pushing down on the top rim.
De-scaling the brewer
The brewer should be de-scaled at least every 3-6 months. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. De-scaling your brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, removable water reservoir and other parts of the brewer that come in contact with water. Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage. We recommend de-scaling your brewer at least every 6 months (every 3 months if your water has a high mineral content). The de-scaling process involves using 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar. To learn how to de-scale your brewer:
