How to use

Fill the water tank according to the machine’s capacity, fit a properly dosed and tamped coffee puck into the portafilter, lock the portafilter into the group head and start extraction for a single or double shot. Use the steam wand to heat and texture milk: purge the wand briefly, position the steam tip near the surface to introduce microfoam, then submerge to heat. After use, backflush if applicable, empty the drip tray as needed and clean the steam wand to prevent milk residue. Follow any manufacturer-supplied safety instructions and recommended cleaning intervals for reliable performance.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted, evenly ground espresso coffee and a calibrated tamper for best extraction. Preheat cups and run a short water flush through the group head before brewing to stabilise temperature. Purge and wipe the steam wand immediately after steaming to maintain hygiene and steam performance.
