Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, place the machine on a flat, stable surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides. Before the first use, run a cycle with clean water through the brew head and steam wand to ensure all internal components are primed.
Compatibility: This machine is designed for use with finely ground espresso beans. While it does not include a built-in grinder, it is compatible with most standard burr grinders on the market.
Care Instructions:
- Daily: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and purge the steam wand immediately after frothing to prevent milk buildup.
- Weekly: Rinse the portafilter, filter baskets, and drip tray with warm soapy water.
- Descaling: Depending on local water hardness, descale the machine every 3-6 months to prevent mineral buildup and maintain pressure efficiency.
