Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on an induction stove?

The product is designed for gas and electric stoves; check if your induction cooktop recognizes the specific alloy used in the base.

Are the cups dishwasher safe?

To protect the custom graphics, we strongly recommend hand washing the cups and saucers.

How much coffee does it brew?

The unit is designed to produce two standard espresso shots, served directly into the two included cups.

Do I need to use paper filters?

No, this unit uses a built-in metal filter system designed for traditional espresso extraction.

What should I do if the safety valve releases steam?

Remove the unit from heat immediately. This indicates over-pressurization, often caused by the grind being too fine or the filter being packed too tightly.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is leaking from the center seal

Ensure the top and bottom sections are screwed together firmly. If leaking persists, check the rubber gasket for debris or signs of wear.

Coffee does not flow from both outlets

Check that the maker is placed on a level surface and that the filter basket is not overfilled, which can obstruct the internal pressure path.

External finish appears dull

Avoid using harsh chemicals or dishwasher detergents. Clean only with a soft cloth and warm water to maintain the graphic prints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before the first use, wash the espresso maker and cups with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. When brewing, fill the bottom chamber with water just below the safety valve. Add fine-ground espresso to the filter basket without tamping it down too firmly. Screw the top and bottom sections together tightly to ensure a proper seal. After brewing, allow the metal unit to cool completely before attempting to clean it. To preserve the custom graphics on both the espresso maker and the included saucers, hand wash only with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or high-heat dishwasher cycles, as these will likely degrade the exterior printing.
