FAQs

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale the machine every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness. Use a descaling solution specifically designed for espresso machines.

Can I use pre-ground coffee?

Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee, but for best results, use freshly ground coffee.

What kind of milk can I use for frothing?

You can froth all types of milk and milk alternatives, including soy, almond, and oat milk.

How do I clean the milk frothing nozzle?

After frothing, wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth immediately. You can also purge the steam wand to remove any milk residue.

What is the warranty period?

The machine comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

What is E.S.E. pad?

E.S.E. stands for Easy Serving Espresso. E.S.E. pads are pre-portioned, single-serve coffee pods that make espresso preparation simple and clean.

Troubleshooting

Machine won't turn on.

Check the power cord connection and ensure the outlet is working. Check the power switch.

Poor espresso extraction.

Ensure the coffee grind is the correct fineness, the coffee is tamped correctly, and the water temperature is appropriate.

Milk frothing issues.

Purge the steam wand before frothing. Ensure the milk is cold and the wand is positioned correctly.
