FAQs

How do I clean the integrated milk tank?

After each use, empty and rinse the milk tank with clean water. For a more thorough cleaning, consult the manual for specific instructions on detaching and washing components.

Can I use pre-ground coffee with this machine?

Yes, the machine comes with dual filter sets for single and double shots, which are designed for use with pre-ground coffee.

What is the warranty period for the Karaca MyCaffe Barista S10?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Karaca website for specific warranty information as it can vary by region and retailer.

Does the machine require a special type of milk for frothing?

The machine works with most types of milk. For best results and creamier foam, cold milk is recommended.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness and usage. It is generally recommended to descale every 2-3 months or when indicated by the machine's cleaning alerts.

Can I adjust the coffee strength?

The coffee strength is primarily influenced by the amount of coffee grounds used and the tamp pressure. Experimenting with these factors can help you achieve your desired strength.

What does the 'hot water function' do?

The hot water function dispenses hot water, which can be used for Americanos, or for heating cups, or in recipes like an affogato.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the main power switch is on.

No coffee is dispensed.

Verify that the water tank is filled and properly seated. Check if the portafilter is correctly locked into place. Ensure the coffee grounds are not too tightly packed.

Milk is not frothing properly.

Ensure the milk tank is clean and filled with cold milk. Check that the frothing nozzle is clear of any blockages. Adjust the milk settings if available.

Check that the water tank is correctly inserted and not overfilled. Inspect the seals around the portafilter and ensure the drip tray is properly positioned.
