Saw a question on social media about resetting the DeLonghi La Specialista and thought I'd ask here in the hopes that the manual is more specific about the steps. Essentaly, you hold both Double Cup and My Recipe buttons until the display blink, then press My Recipe again to make it blink and finally press the Power button. It will reset all of the custom recipe setting for the machine.
There seems to be alot of confusion regarding the reset machine and what it does. For those who is in the know, this will not reset your grinder settings, dose settings or the water hardness. It will only reset the My Recipe profile settings back to default. The button combination is the same for both action. Have any of you tried this and confirmed what settings the machine actualy resets?

Did it on my Maestro last month and it only wipes the My Recipe profile back to default. Grinder setting, dose, water hardness all stayed exactly where I had them. So if youre hoping for a real factory reset this aint it.
 
wait so what actually reset the water hardness then? mine is showing the wrong setting and I cant figure out how to change it without doing the whole setup wizard again
