Warning: Do not leave the coffee machine unattended during the brewing process, as it
sometimes requires manual operation.
9. Once the coffee has been brewed, remove the high-pressure filter holder assembly by
turning it clockwise, clean the coffee grounds from the filter in good time and rinse it with
hot water. Touch the button for one or two cups of coffee, rinse the spout with water,
install the clean high-pressure filter holder assembly in the spout and wait for the next
use.
Warning: Do not touch the hot surfaces of the machine with your hands to avoid burns,
especially the pouring spout and the steam nozzle when using the machine.
How to get the perfect coffee?
- The grind of the coffee bean and the quality of the grind largely determine the quality of
the coffee, if the grind is too coarse, the coffee extract is inadequate, the flavour is light,
the colour is lighter, and the cream will also be too fine. If the grind is too fine, the coffee
is over-extracted, it will be too dark, and there will be no cream, in many cases it can
block the coffee output if it is too finely ground or too heavily pressed.
The use of freshly ground coffee is recommended to improve the coffee result.
-
1. Select a ground coffee bean of medium size, neither too fine nor too coarse.
2. It is recommended to weigh each time you make coffee to be sure of the amount of
ground coffee added (single cup: 9-9.5g; double cup: 16-16.5g), and to compact the ground
coffee with the presser spoon.
3. The surface of the pressed ground coffee should be about 3 mm from the edge of the
filter cup (important indicator). Too high or too low will affect the extraction pressure and
coffee effect, please reduce or increase the amount of ground coffee.
4. Amount of liquid coffee, single cup of coffee: 25-35 mL; double cup of coffee: 40-60 mL.
5. It is very important to understand that, in order to make a perfect coffee, with texture,
body, aroma, cream, etc., many variables come into play that can affect the final result. It
is recommended to try different coffee grinds with different pressing pressures to get the
best result.
Hot water
1. Place a container under the hot water spout.
2. When the indicator lights on the single-cup and double-cup switches stay on, open the
steam selector and turn it to the maximum position, hot water will immediately come out
of the steamer. The indicator for one and two cups of coffee flashes during the hot-water
preparation process.
3. When the hot water reaches the desired amount, turn the steam selector clockwise to the
off position, and the hot water will stop coming out.
Reminder: The hot water function can also be used to quickly cool the coffee machine.
Note: When using such function, be careful with hot parts of the machine. Especially the
water outlet (filter holder), the hot water nozzle and the steam pipe. During operation, do not
put your hands on the above-mentioned parts for any reason.
