  Still having w0ahs with my Dedica

  Heres a video of trying to push a double shot out through an empty filter
  https://streamable.com/rp5v2y

  I think it shows water leaking from between the group head and the portafilter at the start of the shot. Any ideas whats wrong?

  Thanks, I tried this morning after resetting everything and got slightly more output but still only half a shot.

  Not weighing but using the scoop it came with, normally two heaps.

  Tried again just now with only a single scoop and nothing but a couple of drops came out = completely jammed.

  In Italy they write espresso, even though the word's origin in Latin
  rather implies it should be written with an x, simply because Italian
  doesn‘t have the letter x whereas Latin did. Other languages, such as
  English and French use x in many words where Italian doesn‘t because
  these languages have the letter x (as an example express = fast). Thus
  we deduce, that as Icelandic has the letter x we should pronounce and
  write the word expressó like that, with an x.

  Also just tried turning it off and on again - to reset the programming.
  Too late in the evening for coffee now but will give it a bash tomorrow morning.

  THanks All!

  I bought my first expresso machine *Delongi Dedica
  https://www.delonghi.com/en-gb/ec685-bk-­dedica-manual-espresso-maker/p/EC685.BK

  But I'm having trouble getting any kind of shot through the portafilter when filled.

  Using the double or single pressurised baskets and some standard off the shelf pre-ground coffee.

  It appears to become blocked just after the initial extraction comes through.

  Should I try finer coffee or am I doing somthing else wrong?
  I thought preground coffee should work no problems with a pressurised basket.
