Product Information
Full details
The Swan Retro Pump Espresso Digital Coffee Machine is an ideal choice for home baristas looking to elevate their daily coffee routine with cafe-quality drinks without the complexity of manual commercial machines. Its standout feature is the 20-bar pressure system that ensures rich, bold extraction; however, users should note that the unit occupies significant counter space due to its 1.5-litre tank and integrated features, making it best suited for kitchens with ample room.

FAQs
Can I use ground coffee and pods?
This machine is designed specifically for ground coffee, which provides the best flavor extraction using the 20-bar pump.
How do I clean the portafilter?
Remove the grounds, rinse the filter basket with warm water, and scrub gently with a soft brush if oils have accumulated.
Does the machine have an auto-off feature?
Yes, for safety and energy efficiency, the machine is designed to enter a standby mode when not in use.
Can I fit a tall travel mug under the group head?
The clearance is designed for standard espresso cups; however, the drip tray can often be removed to accommodate slightly taller mugs.
How often should I descale the machine?
We recommend descaling every 3 to 6 months to maintain optimal pressure and flavor quality.
Troubleshooting
Steam wand is not producing steam
Ensure the steam dial is turned to the correct position and check that the nozzle is not blocked by dried milk residue.
Espresso is not hot enough
Pre-heat your cup using the top warming plate or by running a shot of hot water through the portafilter before brewing.
Coffee flow is too slow
The coffee grounds may be too fine or compressed too tightly; try a slightly coarser grind or use less pressure during tamping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Before the first use, flush the system by running two full tanks of plain water through the brewing head and the steam wand to clear internal lines.
For daily maintenance, wipe the steam wand immediately after each use with a damp cloth to prevent milk buildup, then purge a small amount of steam to clear the nozzle. Empty and rinse the drip tray and water tank weekly. Use fresh, filtered water to prevent limescale buildup, and perform a descaling cycle every 3-6 months depending on local water hardness.
