Taking care of Bloom

×Bloom was built with a lot of love so show it some care. Should you have any issues with your machine, please check our warranty below.

VIDEO: AFTER USE www.xbloom.com/afteruse .

Cleaning and Storing xBloom

  • Use a clean damp cotton cloth to wipe off the dirt on the coffee machine.
  • We recommend both removing the magnetic tunnel to clean grinder residue and removing the xPod dock to clean the sliding connector once a week with the provided cleaning brush, based on daily usage frequency.
  • Clean and dry all parts before storing the machine in a safe place.
  • To drain any remaining water, press the button for 10 seconds until water starts to flow from the pouring mouth, making sure to have a recipient on hand to catch the water. Release your finger from the button to stop the water flowing.

Descaling xBloom

  • Descaling every 3 months or 300 cycles (whichever comes first) using dedicated descaling products designed for home coffee machines is recommended.
  • Avoid using vinegar or commercial cleaning products, as they can damage the machine and void the warranty.
  1. Place a minimum 300mL container under the water outlet and make sure the machine is on.
    Consider protecting surfaces from potential spills caused by descaling solutions.

  2. Add 250mL of water to the reservoir and mix an additional recommended amount of descaling solution (60-65mL of dilution). Reattach the reservoir to the machine.

  3. Press and hold the button on the back of the machine above the power cord for 10 seconds.
    When you hear 2 beeps, release the button. The machine will then dispense approximately 200mL of liquid into the container.

  4. Wait for approximately 1 hour for the descaling solution to work. Do not swallow or ingest the descaling solution. Avoid using the machine while descaling. Refrain from filling the water tank during the descaling process.

  5. After the descale waiting period, press & hold the button again for 10 seconds. Release your hand upon hearing two beep sounds. The machine will dispense the remaining liquid. Empty the container with the descaling solution.

  6. Rinse and refill the water reservoir to the MAX line with fresh water, then reattach to the machine.

    • Press & hold the button again for 10 seconds and release your hand upon hearing two beep sounds to dispense 200mL of water. Repeat this process 4 times to fully empty the water reservoir.
    • The descaling process has been completed, and you may now brew and enjoy a cup of delicious coffee!
    • CAUTION: The descaling solution can be harmful. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and surfaces.
    • The use of any unsuitable descaling agent may lead to machine component damage or an insufficient descaling process.
    • Keep the descaling solution out of reach of children. Do not swallow or ingest the descaling solution. For additional questions regarding descaling, please contact xBloom directly.
