INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

It’s important to respect your machine and clean it regularly. A good maintenance will allow you to use your Nanopresso for many years.
After each use clean the hatched areas under running water. Let the parts dry separately.

From time to time (20 shots), deep clean the portafilter and the noule parts.
Clean up all those parts with hot water and the help of the provided brush.

Unclip the nozzle part.

Unscrew the nozzle.

Once every 6 month (300 shots) you will have to clean the filter mesh and underneath surface.

WARNING
Do not put any Nanopresso parts into dishwasher.

DISPOSAL

Nanopresso has been manufactured using very high quality materials that can be reused or recycled.
Dispose of the appliance in a suitable waste collection center.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Use fresh roasted coffee beans and filtered water.
• Preheat all Nanopresso parts as well as your cup by running a cycle with only hot water.
• Grind coffee beans just prior to prepare your espresso shot.
• Use a scales to measure the coffee grind quantity and make sure the weight is equal to 8 grams.
• Pump at the right tempo: one squeeze per second. Most types of espresso shot (ristretto, single, double … ) extraction takes 30 around seconds. Don’t hurry, take your time.

TROUBLESHOOT

Nanopresso integrates a new pumping system engineered around the addition of a pressure release valve. When the pressure inside the filter basket reaches 18 bar, the valve will open, allowing the water back into the water tank. For a perfect espresso shot, it’s important to keep the pressure under 18 bar and avoid any opening of this valve.
To do so, there are 3 parameters to control:

• Coffee grind quantity. Too much coffee grind inside the filter basket increases the inner pressure.
• Coffee grind finesse. Too fine coffee grind increases the inner pressure.
• Pumping speed. A fast pumping action increases the inner pressure.
• If coffee does not come out or the flow is negligible at each pumping:
• low down your pumping speed.
• Grind the bean a bit more coarsely. If you are using pre-ground coffee, try to lower your tamping force or decrease slightly the coffee grind quantity.
• If the valve opened, wait few minutes before attempting to prepare a new espresso shot.
