There is a small square shaped clear plastic that slides into section of water container. Make sure this has not come loose. Check your packaging for piece size of small dice.

I checked the packaging and haven't noticed it.

Tried everything again from scratch, the machine turns on and does the wash, the 2 buttons at the top stop flashing but the water tank light remains flashing.
The manual says when that light is flashing "the grinding is too fine and the coffee is delivered too slowly"

I'm using these beans http://www.discountcoffee.ie/lavazza-qualita-rossa-coffee-beans-1kg?gclid=CjwKCAiA7ovTBRAQEiwAo8dPcWwcCbV_urXEYnv8OMm5MBiDV_Nfien-E5-xEkmdmZtqk5oCvuSYHhoCiz0QAvD_BwE

I've requested a refund from Amazon, I was waiting about a month for delivery initially, I've only opened it today to set it up and that YouTube link I've posted explains the problem I'm having, I'm not gonna get a screwdriver and mess around with it myself, disappointing.

Thanks for your help.

I have the 2200 version and trying to change the auto off. It says to hold the eco button until all 5 lights come on, this isn’t working for me, anyone managed to charge this setting?

anybody get the free coffee through a machine registered on the Argos machine deal?

Some posters did a few pages back.

I registered 3 weeks ago, Still waiting for something myself.

i bought the one from amazon as a gift and got the coffee delivered a couple of weeks ago. (registered dec 23rd or so)
then I bought the argos model for myself and registered dec 30th I think - no sign of the coffee yet.

Registered for the Argos one and nothing. However I’ve saved a fortune this month thanks for the bargain alert. I picked up a coffee most days and sure when you are in for a coffee you inevitably pick up something else. I’d be confident I’ve already gained the cost back on the machine!

yeah maybe there will be no free coffee with the argos one as it's pretty much the cheapest model and was a crazy low price.....

If you try it when it’s switched on at the back of the machine but off at the front (no lights on) it should work. This caught me out too.

argos deal purchase? what date did you register it?

What milk are people using for the streamer ?

You can use any milk. I use low fat as I'm used to it now. It takes a few goes to get it right. Don't make them too big. Shot and 100 mls or so of milk. It nearly doubles in size when you use the steamer

Think I remember reading that skimmed milk is better for frothing.

normal full fat milk works fine for me. most important thing is to get a nice little stainless steel frothing jug.
300ml is probably the best size as it allows you to make enough for a couple of coffees at a time.

That looks a great deal to get for just registering! Along with the purchase price.

he had a 4200 from amazon, not the 2800 from argos.
haven't heard of anyone confirming yet that they got the free coffee resulting from the argos deal....
I got the coffee from the amazon one that I got as a gift for someone else but nothing so far from the argos one that I bought for myself.

I was on to Delonghi there as I am moving home next week. This is the response:

I've just spoken with my colleague in the Coffee Club. She has informed me there was a large shipment of these sent to Ireland on Monday. She has provided SeaBridge who is the courier in Ireland with contact numbers so you should receive a text or call from them, if not this week, then next week

reading manual/ have yet to use and it says skimmed or partially skimmed for a richer denser froth.
For a cappuccino it can’t make two in sequence? How to make two. It says machine needs 10 mins to cool down before making a second coffee?

Just make the two espresso first or turn off the steam button and let hot water run through the steam wand for a few seconds and it will be good to go again.

still no sign of any coffee. this response sounds bs tbh - people who got the coffee had it delivered by An Post, not a courier.

did anyone get anything?

Ours arrived yesterday by post. Would have registered after Christmas as the machine was a wife’s present.

presume that it was the 4200 from Amazon then, not the Argos one?
