The 1.2 L water tank and 125 g bean hopper provide a balance between compact size and practical capacity for household or small-office use. The machine’s controls include manual quantity adjustment for milk froth and coffee volume, allowing tailored extraction for each cup.

After use, empty drip tray and rinse removable parts according to the user manual.

Usage recommendations

For best flavour, use freshly roasted whole beans and clean the grinder and brewing unit regularly. Adjust the spout height to reduce splashing and set the milk froth quantity with the control dial to match cup size. Descale the water circuit periodically following the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain performance.
