FAQs
Can I use the H4C while it is charging?
It is recommended to use the unit on battery power for the best portability, though you should ensure the battery is fully charged before heading out.
How much coffee does the stainless steel basket hold?
The stainless steel basket is designed to hold approximately 10–12g of ground coffee.
What does the IPX4 rating mean for me?
It means the unit is protected against splashing water from any angle, making it safe for use in light rain or near a campsite sink.
Can I use boiling water in the tank?
The device features an internal heating system, but you can also use pre-heated water to speed up the brewing process.
Is the battery replaceable?
Yes, the H4C features a detachable battery design, allowing you to swap in a fresh, charged battery for extended use.
How do I know which temperature is right for my coffee?
Generally, darker roasts perform better at lower temperatures (85-90°C), while lighter, acidic roasts may benefit from higher temperatures (92-95°C).
Troubleshooting
The machine will not power on.
Ensure the battery is firmly attached and fully charged. Verify that the contacts on the battery and the base are clean and free of debris.
Coffee extraction is weak or lacks crema.
Check that you are using the correct capsule adapter. If using ground coffee, ensure the grind size is appropriate for espresso and that it is firmly tamped in the basket.
Water leaking during extraction.
Check the silicone gasket on the extraction head to ensure it is seated correctly and not obstructed by coffee grounds.
