FAQs

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale every 1-3 months, depending on the hardness of your water.

What kind of coffee should I use?

Use freshly ground coffee beans for the best results.

Can I use pre-ground coffee?

Yes, but for optimal results, it is recommended to grind your own beans.

How do I clean the steam wand?

Purge the steam wand after each use and wipe it down with a damp cloth. You can also soak the wand in a descaling solution periodically.

What is the purpose of the PID controller?

The PID controller allows you to precisely control the brewing temperature, which is key to a great espresso extraction.

What is pre-infusion?

Pre-infusion wets the coffee grounds gently before full extraction, which helps to create a more even extraction and better flavour.

Can I use E.S.E. pods?

Yes, the machine comes with a filter for E.S.E. pods.

What is the warranty?

Check the product documentation for warranty details.

Espresso is too weak

Adjust the grind size to be finer. Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio.

Steam wand not producing steam

Ensure the machine has reached the correct temperature for steaming. Check the steam valve for any blockages.
