FAQs
How often should I descale the machine?
Descale your Bambino every 1-3 months, depending on the water hardness in your area. The machine will also alert you when descaling is needed.
What type of coffee should I use?
Use freshly ground coffee beans for the best flavor. A medium to fine grind size is recommended.
Can I use pre-ground coffee?
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. However, for the best results, freshly grinding your beans just before brewing is recommended.
How do I clean the steam wand?
After each use, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Purge the steam wand to remove any milk residue. Deep clean with the steam tip cleaning tool.
Where can I find more detailed instructions?
Download the BILT app for setup guidance or consult the user manual that came with your machine.

Troubleshooting
Machine not turning on.
Check the power connection and ensure the machine is plugged in properly. Also, check the circuit breaker.
Poor espresso extraction.
Ensure you are using the correct grind size for the coffee. Tamp the coffee grounds evenly and firmly. Clean the filter basket from any coffee residue. If using the dual wall filter, ensure it is properly installed.
Steam wand not producing steam.
Make sure the machine is heated up completely. Check for any blockages in the steam wand tip and clean it with the provided tool.
Milk frothing is not creating microfoam.
Ensure the steam wand is fully submerged in the milk and angled correctly. Tap the milk jug on the counter to remove large bubbles and swirl the milk to incorporate the foam.
