Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, run a full tank of water through the machine without coffee to prime the internal system.
Compatibility: The machine accepts standard ground coffee and industry-standard ESE pods. Ensure your grounds are a fine 'espresso' grind for optimal pressure extraction.
Care: Regularly descale the machine based on your local water hardness. Clean the steam wand immediately after every use by wiping it with a damp cloth and performing a short purge of steam to clear residual milk from the nozzle. The drip tray and water tank are removable and should be washed with warm, soapy water periodically.
