Delonghi - Operation without water filter?
Posted by: Hawkeye June 12, 2019 07:21 am
Good morning, we are about to buy a new DeLonghi fully automatic coffee machine. Basically, the topic therefore fits into two sub-forums.
Initially, the focus is on a possible "forced use"
of the water filters to operate the machine.
We are flirting with the PrimaDonna Elite Experience ECAM 656.85.MS. In
any case, it is a fully automatic machine whose brewing group can be removed itself for cleaning. What about the
programmable fully automatic coffee machines with water filters?
Is there an "obligation to use" the (original) filters for any equipment because the manufacturer has programmed the machine in such a way that covers without filters used are not permitted at all (technical obligation) or it is part of the guarantee conditions to have to use these filters during the guarantee period - to maintain the guarantee (legal obligation)?
We prefer to decalcify every month, manually if necessary, rather than using
such filters.
Of course, experience reports are always welcome.
Our previous, non-programmable DeLonghi had lasted a
little over 8 years without any significant repairs (microswitches, etc.).
A pending repair would not have been economically viable due to age.
Therefore, we are also interested in whether, for example, the more complex electronics ("a computer that can separate coffee purchases") are a blessing or a curse with regard to the useful life (or otherwise). What about the
availability of spare parts and the ease of repair without having to
send in idas equipment immediately?
Thank you very much.

If anyone has any idea how to get this button back in, I have already tried but without success.

WAs this question not answered? Sigh!! I guess go with your gut instinct, as I also own a delonghi magnifica and never once used a filter! Regular descaling is a must!
