FAQs

Does this machine use ground coffee or beans?

This is a bean-to-cup machine designed specifically for coffee beans; it features a built-in grinder to process them fresh.

Can I use the steam wand for dairy alternatives?

Yes, the manual steam wand can be used with dairy and various plant-based milk alternatives, though results may vary based on the protein content of the milk.

How often should I clean the machine?

You should rinse the brewing unit weekly and perform the descaling/cleaning cycle as indicated by the machine alerts or every few months depending on usage.

What is the maximum height of a cup I can use?

The machine is designed for standard espresso and coffee cups; you may need to tilt taller mugs to fit them under the dispenser.

Can I adjust the strength of my coffee?

Yes, the machine features adjustable coffee strength settings to suit your personal taste.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is not flowing or extraction is too slow

Check if the coffee grind setting is too fine and adjust it to a coarser setting. Ensure the water tank is correctly seated and full.

Steam wand is not producing steam

Ensure the steam function is correctly activated and the wand nozzle is not clogged by dried milk residue.

Machine switches off unexpectedly

The machine has an auto-power-off feature that triggers after 20 minutes of inactivity; this is a standard energy-saving setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your machine is straightforward: plug it into a standard 220–240V outlet and fill the 1.4L removable tank with filtered water. Before the first use, run a rinse cycle to clean the internal components. For daily maintenance, wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and keep the steam wand clean by purging it with steam immediately after frothing milk. The brewing unit can be removed periodically for a thorough rinse under warm water. The machine includes a built-in cleaning cycle that should be performed regularly to maintain the quality of the internal piping and ensure the longevity of the pump.
