Hints and Tips

Always use cold, fresh water to fill the water tank.
The quantity of ground coffee can be adapted to taste. For stronger espresso, use more ground coffee, for weaker espresso use less.
If using regular ground coffee, more is needed per cup to achieve the same strength as finer ground coffee.
After using packaged ground coffee, tightly reseal it and store in a cool, dry place.
To achieve optimum coffee taste, use whole coffee beans and finely grind them before brewing.
Do not reuse ground coffee that has already been used in the espresso machine, as this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as it affects the taste.

Storage

The espresso machine must be cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the espresso machine; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
