Yes, but results may vary. Soy and barista-style oat milk generally produce the best foam compared to almond or coconut milk.
You can select the aroma intensity directly via the soft-touch icons on the display before pressing your drink choice.
Yes, the built-in display will show an alert when the descaling cycle is required based on water hardness settings.
The coffee spout is adjustable, accommodating most standard-sized mugs and espresso cups.
Yes, the machine is capable of brewing two cups of espresso or black coffee simultaneously.
No, the brewing unit must be rinsed by hand under water; do not use soaps or detergents.
Pre-warm your cups using the hot water function before brewing to prevent heat loss.
Ensure the milk carafe lid is assembled correctly and the milk is cold, straight from the refrigerator.
Check for foreign objects in the bean hopper and ensure you are not using overly oily beans which can clog the grinder.
Setting up the machine involves flushing the system once it is plugged into a 220-240V outlet to prime the water circuit. Always ensure the water filter (if used) is installed correctly to protect the machine from scale buildup. Compatibility-wise, it accepts standard coffee beans and ground coffee. Daily care should focus on the 'LatteCrema' system; after each use, the machine performs a rinse, but the milk carafe should be disassembled and rinsed thoroughly every few days. The front-access brewing unit should be removed and rinsed under lukewarm water every month to keep the mechanical parts debris-free. Use the automated descaling program whenever the display alert prompts you to ensure longevity.
