The Swan Nordic Pump Espresso Coffee Machine excels at delivering a genuine coffee experience. With its 15 bar pressure, you can expect consistently well-extracted espresso shots featuring a robust flavor and a characteristic layer of golden-brown crema. This pressure is crucial for pushing water through finely ground coffee, capturing its full aromatic profile.
Espresso: Simply fill the portafilter with your desired amount of ground coffee, tamp firmly, and attach it to the machine. The 15 bar pressure ensures a strong, flavorful shot, perfect on its own or as a base for other drinks.
Lattes & Cappuccinos: The integrated milk frother is your tool for creating creamy, airy milk. Turn on the steam function and position the frother nozzle just below the surface of cold milk to create microfoam. Once frothed, combine with your fresh espresso shot. The machine heats up quickly, allowing for rapid transition between brewing and steaming.
Pre-heat Cups: Always pre-heat your espresso cups by running hot water through the portafilter into them, or by placing them on the machine's warming tray if available. This helps maintain the coffee's temperature.
Freshly Ground Coffee: While the machine doesn't include a grinder, using freshly ground beans (ground for espresso) will significantly enhance flavor and crema.
Tamping: Apply consistent pressure when tamping your coffee grounds in the portafilter. This creates a compact puck, allowing for even water extraction.
Experiment with Milk Frothing: Practice with different types of milk (dairy, oat, almond) and frothing techniques to achieve your desired milk texture for lattes and cappuccinos.
Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories. Place the machine on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface.
First Use Rinse: Before making coffee, perform an initial rinse cycle. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water. Run water through the coffee brewing head and the steam wand without coffee in the portafilter. This cleans the internal components and primes the system.
Water Tank: Ensure the 1.2L water tank is correctly seated and filled with fresh, cold water. Use filtered water if your tap water is hard to prevent scale buildup.
Power On: Plug the machine into a grounded power outlet and switch it on. Allow the machine to heat up until the indicator lights show it's ready.
Coffee: The Swan Nordic Pump Espresso Machine is designed for use with finely ground coffee. Ensure your coffee is ground specifically for espresso machines for optimal extraction. It is not compatible with coffee pods or capsules.
Cups: The drip tray is removable, allowing for various cup sizes, from small espresso demitasse cups to taller latte mugs.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty and clean the portafilter and filter basket. Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Empty and rinse the drip tray.
Milk Frother Cleaning: This is crucial. Immediately after frothing milk, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to remove any milk residue. Purge a small amount of steam through the wand to clear any internal blockages. If the nozzle gets blocked, use a small pin or needle to clear the opening.
Water Tank: Clean the water tank regularly, especially if you notice residue or film. Use mild dish soap and rinse thoroughly.
Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the machine, affecting performance. Descape your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Use a suitable descaling solution designed for coffee machines and follow the product's instructions. Refer to your user manual for specific descaling procedures for this model. > Info needed: [Refer to specific manual for detailed descaling instructions.]
