Use a finely ground espresso coffee for the best results.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

What should I do if the coffee maker gets clogged?

Disassemble the coffee maker and clean all parts thoroughly. Check the filter basket and the spout for any blockages. Use a small brush to remove any coffee grounds that may be stuck.

Troubleshooting

Coffee tastes burnt or bitter.

Reduce the heat or use a coarser coffee grind. Also, make sure the coffee maker is not left on the heat source for too long after brewing is complete.

Coffee is weak or watery.

Use a finer coffee grind and ensure that the coffee grounds are evenly distributed in the filter basket. Make sure to use enough coffee for the desired strength.

Coffee maker is leaking.

Check the rubber gasket for wear and tear and replace if necessary. Ensure that the top and bottom are tightly screwed together.

Coffee doesn't brew at all.

Check that there is enough water in the base and that the safety valve isn't blocked. Ensure that the coffee maker is properly assembled and that the heat is sufficient.

The coffee maker is difficult to disassemble.

Allow the coffee maker to cool down completely before attempting to disassemble it. Apply a small amount of food-grade oil to the threads if necessary.
