What coffee pods are compatible with De’Longhi?
If you have a De'Longhi coffee machine and are looking for coffee pods that work with it, the compatibility of the pods depends on the specific system your De'Longhi machine uses.
If your De'Longhi machine is equipped with the Dolce Gusto system, you'll want to look for Dolce Gusto® compatible pods. These are offered by manufacturers such as NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto®, Starbucks, Chiato, and Charles Liégeois.
If your De'Longhi coffee machine uses the Nespresso system, you can use Nespresso compatible pods. These are available from manufacturers like Barzini, Charles Liégeois, Mokito, Bistrotea, and our very own Coffee Friend branded coffee pods.
Additionally, some De'Longhi coffee machines, such as the Dedica models, have the capability to make coffee using ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) pods, which you can also find in the Coffee Friend assortment. So, depending on the system your De'Longhi coffee machine employs, you can explore our range of compatible coffee pods to enjoy a delightful cup of coffee.Is this comment useful?Read more Show lessWhat coffee should I use in a filter coffee machine?
The filter brewing method requires water to stay in contact with coffee for a fairly long time—and that’s exactly why you should pay special attention to the kind of coffee you’re using. First, consider the roast level. The darker the roast, the easier it is for the coffee to release its unique flavours. As a result, dark-roasted coffee is best suited for the espresso brewing method. If brewed in a drip coffee maker, coffee like that may taste overly bitter, which is why we recommend choosing coffee of a medium to light roast instead. Some specialty coffee beans are even roasted specifically with drip coffee machines and filter brewing tools in mind. When it comes to the grind level, it’s all quite similar: the finer the grind, the more readily the flavours are released, and the better suited such coffee is for the espresso brewing method. The best coffee for a filter coffee machine is that of a medium or coarse grind. To find coffees suited for this brewing method at our online store, head to the category called 'Coffee for filter machines'.

You’ll find the recommended amount of coffee indicated in the user manual of your chosen model. Some models even include special measuring scoops. In general though, the ratio suggested by brewing professionals is 55–70 grams of coffee per 1 litre of water. You can start from the lowest or highest end, then adjust based on your personal taste. The most important thing is for you to enjoy your drink, after all!

The most important thing is for the size and shape of your paper filters to suit your filter coffee maker. Size four is considered to be the standard: you’ll find filters like these at pretty much any grocery store. If you’re looking for the finest possible results though, consider buying coffee filters made by filter coffee machine manufacturers: these are produced using special paper, which only lets a certain amount of coffee oils through and hence creates finer taste.

Make sure to use clean, fresh water. Filtered water is the best choice thanks to how good it is at absorbing flavours and aromas. It’ll protect your machine from limescale too.

Brewing coffee in a filter coffee machine is actually very simple and doesn’t require any special skills at all. In fact, all you have to do is fill the reservoir with water, insert a paper filter, add some ground coffee, and press a button.

The latest coffee machines introduced by the company are extremely easy to use, while the quality and variety of drinks on offer are bound to delight even the most discerning coffee lovers. The exclusive LatteCrema milk frothing system, the stainless-steel finish that dominates in the high-end models, as well as convenient colour touch screens and, in some cases, as many as several separate bean containers, all guarantee that a De’Longhi coffee machine will be a smart, reliable choice. However, if you’re still in doubt as to which coffee machine model is right for you, keep in mind that our sales managers are always here to help you choose. After all, a coffee machine is meant to serve you for much longer than just one year!

De'Longhi coffee machine prices depend on the features a certain model has, its ease of use and, of course, its year of manufacture. The more modern the machine is, the more suited for the needs of different customers it tends to be, and the simpler it is to use and maintain. For example, coffee machine models with a manual milk frother are always cheaper than those with built-in milk systems. This is all because it takes considerable time and skill to whip up the perfect milk foam using a manual milk frother, whereas an automatic milk system does everything for you and serves you with a flawless milk-based drink in just a few seconds. When choosing a coffee machine, you’ll probably notice that some of them are operated using several buttons, while others feature colour touch screens. To descale some De’Longhi coffee machines, you’ll need to read the instructions carefully for the first several times, while others will enable you to do it all intuitively after the first try. You’re probably looking for a coffee machine that will last you longer than a year, so we always recommend considering not only the price of the coffee machine, but also how pleasant and easy-to-use it is.
