FAQs
How many cups does this maker produce?
This IBILI Bahia espresso maker is designed to produce approximately 3 cups of espresso, with a total capacity of 150 ml.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
For best results, use a fine coffee grind, similar to what is used for espresso machines. Avoid overly coarse or fine grinds that might clog the filter or lead to over-extraction.
Can I use this on an induction stove?
No, this coffee maker is made of aluminum and is not compatible with induction cooktops. It works on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
How do I clean the espresso maker?
Hand wash the espresso maker with warm water only. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the aluminum finish. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
What does BPA-free mean?
BPA-free means that the materials used in the coffee maker do not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical often found in plastics that can potentially leach into food or beverages. This ensures a safer coffee preparation process.
How long does it take to brew coffee?
Brewing typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the heat source and water temperature. Listen for the characteristic gurgling sound which indicates the coffee is ready.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
No coffee is coming out.
Ensure the coffee maker is securely tightened. Check that the water level is correct and the heat is on a medium setting. Make sure the coffee grounds are not packed too tightly.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Use a finer coffee grind. Ensure the coffee grounds are filled to the brim of the filter but not compacted. Increase the heat slightly if necessary.
Handle feels loose.
Check if the handle is properly secured to the body. If it remains loose, contact customer support.
Coffee spurts from the sides.
The coffee maker may not be screwed on tightly enough, or the gasket may be worn. Ensure a tight seal and check the gasket's condition.
