To descale your espresso maker, fill the water tank with a descaling solution or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Run the machine as if brewing coffee, but without coffee grounds, allowing the solution to pass through the system. Rinse by running two full cycles of clean water.
Ensure that you are using the correct grind size and amount of coffee. The grind should be fine but not too fine. Check the tamping pressure; it should be firm but not too hard. Also, ensure the water temperature is optimal, around 90-96°C (194-205°F).
After each use, purge the steam wand by running steam through it for a few seconds. Wipe the wand with a damp cloth to remove milk residues. For thorough cleaning, unscrew the tip and soak it in warm soapy water, then rinse well.
Check if the machine is properly plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power switch is turned on. If it still doesn't work, inspect the power cord for damage. If necessary, consult a professional technician.
First, make sure the machine is turned on and properly connected to the power source. Check the thermostat and heating elements for any faults. If none are found, consult the user manual or contact customer support for further assistance.
It is recommended to replace the water filter every 2 months or after 60 liters of water have been used, whichever comes first. This ensures optimal water quality and prolongs the life of the espresso maker.
A fine grind size is ideal for espresso preparation. It should be similar in texture to table salt. Avoid overly fine or coarse grinds as they can affect the taste and extraction process.
Clean and dry all removable parts thoroughly. Store the espresso maker in a dry, cool place. Cover it with a dust cover or cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Ensure that the water tank is empty and dry.
Yes, you can use non-dairy milk alternatives such as almond, soy, or oat milk for frothing. However, results may vary due to the different protein and fat content compared to cow's milk.
A wet coffee puck can indicate under-extraction. Check the grind size and ensure it's not too coarse. Adjust the tamping pressure to be firmer and ensure sufficient coffee grounds are used.
