For optimal performance and taste, use whole roasted coffee beans that are not too oily or flavored. Avoid very dark roasts with excessive surface oils, as these can clog the grinder.
The frequency of descaling depends on your water hardness and how often you use the machine. Generally, it's recommended every 2-3 months, or when the machine indicates it's necessary. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions.
While the machine is designed for whole beans, you can typically use pre-ground coffee in a dedicated single-shot filter basket. However, for the freshest taste and best results, always use whole beans ground just before brewing.
Fill a cold milk pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy). Submerge the steam wand tip just below the surface and open the steam knob. Listen for a 'hissing' sound as you introduce air. Once the milk reaches desired temperature and texture, submerge the wand deeper to create a vortex for silky microfoam. Clean the wand immediately after use.
A bitter taste often indicates over-extraction. Try adjusting your grinder to a coarser setting, reducing the amount of coffee used, or tamping less firmly. Also, ensure your water temperature is not too high (the machine controls this automatically).
A sour or weak taste usually points to under-extraction. Adjust your grinder to a finer setting, increase the amount of coffee used, or ensure firm and even tamping. Make sure your coffee beans are fresh.

Ensure the machine has fully preheated. Pre-warm your cups using hot water or by placing them on the cup warmer (if available). Clean and descale the machine regularly.
Adjust the grinder to a finer setting. Increase the dose of coffee, if possible, and ensure consistent, firm tamping. Check if the coffee beans are fresh.
Adjust the grinder to a coarser setting. Reduce the dose of coffee, if possible. Ensure tamping is not excessively hard. Clean the filter basket for any blockages.
Ensure the steam wand is clean and free of dried milk residue (use the included cleaning tool if necessary). Allow the machine to fully heat up to steaming temperature. Check the water tank level.
Check the bean hopper for any foreign objects or obstructions. Ensure the hopper is correctly seated. If it persists, remove beans and gently clear the grinding path as per the manual.
