FAQs
How often should I descale the espresso machine?

What kind of water should I use?
Use filtered water to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance.
Can I use pre-ground coffee?

How do I clean the steam wand?
After each use, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Periodically purge the wand by briefly steaming water into a cup.
