With its 20 bar pressure system and integrated milk frothing solution, it provides a consistent, high-pressure extraction for rich crema and cafe-style beverages.

Troubleshooting
Coffee is extracting too slowly or not at all
The coffee grind may be too fine or tamped too firmly. Use a slightly coarser grind or apply less pressure with the tamper.
Milk foam is thin and watery
Ensure the milk container is attached correctly and the milk used is cold. Check that the steam nozzle tip is free of dried milk residue.
Water leaking from the portafilter handle
Ensure the portafilter is securely locked into the group head. If the issue persists, check the rubber group head gasket for coffee grounds or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, run the machine through a full cycle with only water to clear internal lines. The machine is compatible with standard ground espresso coffee and E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods. Care is straightforward: remove and rinse the 0.5 L milk container after every use to prevent milk proteins from drying in the nozzle. Use the machine's internal descaling program periodically based on your local water hardness to prevent mineral scale buildup. Always ensure the portafilter is locked firmly into the group head until the handle is centered to prevent leakage under high pressure.
