FAQs
Can I use ground coffee instead of E.S.E. pods?

How often should I use the self-clean function?
It is recommended to run the self-clean function at least once a week or more frequently if you use the machine multiple times a day.
Is the milk container dishwasher safe?
The milk container should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water to ensure the steam mechanism remains undamaged.

What is the maximum pressure this machine uses?
This machine uses a 20-bar pressure pump to ensure high-quality extraction and crema.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is not hot enough
Pre-heat the portafilter by running a shot of hot water through it without coffee before pulling your actual espresso shot.
Weak or watery espresso
Ensure the coffee is tamped firmly into the portafilter and check that the grind size is fine enough for espresso.
Milk foam is not creamy
Ensure you are using cold, fresh milk and that the steam nozzle/milk container outlet is clean and free of dried milk residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, run the machine with a full tank of water (without coffee) to flush the internal lines. To maintain the machine, empty the drip tray regularly and rinse the portafilter after every use. Use the built-in self-clean function weekly to prevent mineral deposit buildup in the internal boiler. When using the E.S.E. pods, ensure the pod is centered in the appropriate sieve insert to avoid leaks around the portafilter seal. Always store the machine in a dry place, and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the finish.
