• The xPod is more than a capsule. It contains a built-in filter as well as 15~16g of freshly roasted beans, ready for you to grind and brew with bloom.

The filter design

• Our filter design was shaped to deliver a balanced cup of coffee every time you use xBloom. Its flat bottom and holes allow for even distribution of water and coffee grinds, an important element in our precision brewing process.

• The recipe label on the bottom of the xPod, like the recipe card, is the key to the Bloom machine.
• The machine reads the coffee bean type and recipe information stored on the label and adjusts the grind size, water temperature, brew ratio, time, and pattern based on the recipe.
• When an indicator light is blinking, Bloom is taking care of that step in the brewing process. When the fourth indicator light turns solid, brewing is completed.

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.
