Swan Nordic Pump Espresso Coffee Machine - Grey

This Swan Nordic Espresso Coffee Machine is versatile, allowing you to use both freshly ground coffee and Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods. For ground coffee, ensure it's an espresso-specific fine grind.

To make milk-based drinks, first brew your espresso shot. Then, use the integrated steam wand to froth and heat your milk to the desired texture and temperature. Carefully pour the frothed milk over your espresso.

For optimal performance and hygiene, we recommend cleaning the portafilter and drip tray daily after each use. The water tank should be rinsed daily. A deeper clean of the brewing head should be done weekly, and descaling should occur every 1-3 months depending on your water hardness and usage.

For best results, use a fine grind specifically designed for espresso machines. A grind that is too coarse will result in weak coffee, while one that is too fine can lead to over-extraction or clogging.

While making espresso requires a bit of practice to perfect, the machine is designed to be user-friendly. Starting with ESE pods can simplify the process, and using ground coffee offers more control as you gain experience. The key features are intuitive once familiarised.

Check if the water tank is filled correctly and seated properly. Ensure the machine is turned on and has reached its operating temperature. If using ground coffee, check if it's too finely ground or tamped too tightly, which can block water flow. Prime the pump if it hasn't been used recently.

For ground coffee, ensure the grind is fine enough for espresso and that you are using the correct amount of coffee. Also, ensure the coffee is tamped firmly and evenly. If using ESE pods, check that the pod is correctly placed in the filter holder.

Check that the water tank is properly seated and not overfilled. Inspect the drip tray for overflow. If leaking from the portafilter, ensure it's securely locked into place and the filter basket is clean and free of old coffee grounds.

Ensure the machine has fully heated up to steaming temperature (there's usually a separate indicator for this). Check if the steam wand is clear of blockages; use a pin to clear any dried milk residue. Run a small amount of hot water through the wand to purge it.
